    StackOverflow equivalent for physics?

    Understanding Bell's Inequality and QM with \vec{n}

    I'm trying to understand a part of the text where they prove QM doesn't satisfy Bell's inequality. I get how he derives the inequality. Apparently it's same as Sakuri (1985) and Townsend (2000). Problem is I lose him as soon as he starts the main part. Quoting almost directly, --------------...

    Outrageous Injustice: Saudi Woman Sentenced to Jail, Lashes

    Seems like every other day on digg there's some guy getting tasered to death, some minor getting jailed for taking pictures of herself, Lindsay Lohan getting 84 min in jail (cocaine) while others get 10 years etc. I don't pay too much attention. Sh*t happens.

    Is Ubuntu Safe for My Laptop's Hard Drive?

    Nobody complains about physicists' math?

    Is that found outside undergraduate physics? Because I've never seen it except once in a relativity book that I found shelved in the math library. Coming from the math side of things, this is really my main complaint with physics (that I've done). The theories are quite elegant & easy to...

    Which Linux or Unix Version and Books Should You Choose?

    All of them? Choice isn't a bad thing. http://distrowatch.com/stats.php?section=popularity Based on rank alone, I recommend any of the top 5. Based on experience, I strongly recommend ubuntu(or kubuntu) & sabayon as I'm using them right now on my two computers. I don't think any are really bad...

    Why does firefox completely die on macs?

    I'm a linux guy so I completely agree. Hell I lose productivity when they use windows (cleaning out the spam they send me). Life would be a lot easier if most people used some *nix. PS you probably do have a virus & go easy on the smileys next time :p

    Why does firefox completely die on macs?

    A bit of both, I suppose. This forum isn't well tuned to my type of jokes.

    Why does firefox completely die on macs?
