We'll always be able to find something which is still expensive. And everything has scaling limits. For example our "essentially unlimited" energy source might give us enough to power a 21st-century lifestyle essentially free, but might

Is this a reputable journal? It seems to be from the same publisher ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCIRP ) as Advances in Pure Mathematics , which recently accepted a paper written by a random text generator.

I believe your contract is unjust. While I can't speak for you personally, I believe many people sign such contracts without regard to their justness, because they don't have market power to renegotiate the contract. And I believe that un

Firstly, breaking a contract is not "illegal". The ISP's recourse is probably limited to terminating the contract. Secondly, just because it's written in the contract doesn't mean it's legally enforceable. Thirdly, just because it's legall

Small point: Teletext is not the "German" system, it's the generic name for the service. The UK had several Teletext services, such as Ceefax (BBC channels) and Oracle (independent channel). Similarly ARDText and ZDFtext are German Telet

The human ear is not equally sensitive to different frequencies, and it's most sensitive at a fairly narrow band at a few kHz. If you don't correct for that when synthesizing your tones, then one pitch may be much more prominent than the ot
