The decoder/player doesn't know how to read between the bits. Same file -> same playback. If you hear the same sound file twice (or two identical files) and hear something different, you software is broken or you're imagin

Disclaimer: I am NOT saying that I think 24/192 is a good idea or makes any difference. That being said, the author makes the error to assume that we experience music only with our ears. But your body can feel e.g. the sound of a dru

Are you intentionally misrepresenting what I said in the other comments? Quote: 'It's not about "having it my way"' (Explanation follows). Also, is it not allowed to make statements anymore? Yes, it is my opinion th

Good point. What I was trying to convey is that it happened the other way round. I know english well because it is the language CS takes place in. Had it been chinese, I had learned chinese. Had it been elvish, I had learned elvish.

They have the freedom to do make that decision just as I have the freedom to voice my disagreement. Ok, maybe their english sucks. Do you ever get better at something by not practising?

You're missing the point comletely. There needs to be a common, agreed on ("standard") intercommunication language for exchange of knowledge to happen. For computer science related things, programming in particular, this is e

The implied "it is used by a lot of people so it must be good" is a non sequitur. Also, all these "real websites" also have very real problems that come from using PHP.

Then why don't you code your websites in brilliant elegant brainfuck? The statement "It is possible to write good, or bad code, in any language" (1) might be true, but it misses the point. Consider "With or without canc

Nothing you say in the second sentence is true. Thorium reactors do not work reliably (just have a look at those that where actually built). The current designs do not work - we don't even have an idea how to do it right in theory. The

Chopping down trees to make room for wind farms is certainly dumb. If you take a closer look that is yet another story about the dangers of subsidies. "nuclear fuel is 2 million times more energy dense than any other fuel" Citatio

U238 decays to (among others) Polonium which will kill your very fast from inside you body. I think your estimate is off by a few orders of magnitude. Edit: "pure U238" is another point where you go wrong. There is no such thing i

Since the developer(s) is/are anonymous - why would they need any elaborate way of telling people this? They could just state that they consider the code compromised and advise not to use it anymore.

I agree that the argument about keeping lead out of the environment is weak. As for using lead in any products I think it comes down to whether its possible that the lead leaks out into the environment in any way. That is very unlikely with
