I had a couple of years at uni where we played this on LAN in one of the computer labs during every lunch break. We even made some maps!

No! When using Tor, you are not trusting any single node, and that's the whole point. The exit node does not know your IP or anything else about you, and the other nodes do not know what server you're communicating with. And you should never send any personal information over Tor, such as your credit card, because the end server would be able to identify you and steal that information (and why would you trust the end server? The idea is not to trust anyone when using Tor.)

The craziest phenomenon of this kind is whistlers [2]. Lightning strikes can be heard on radio at a point on the earth exactly symmetrical to the source, using the equator as plane of symmetry. In fact, the signal bounces around back and forth between the two points, following a line on the magnetosphere. The ones closer to the poles have longer paths, and their frequencies can get spread out over 3-4 seconds as they bounce around.

"For any irrational power p, there are an infinite number of solutions to z^p=c, all lying on a circle."

This means that most of the solutions have an angle larger than a full circle, right ? But if complex numbers can be represented as the sum of the real and complex parts, how can their angle be superior to 360 degrees ?

"Like many claims in the cymatics community, the hypothesis that the carvings represent Chladni patterns is not supported by scientific or historical evidence.[citation needed] One of the problems is that many of the 'box' carvings are not original, having been replaced in the 19th century following damage by erosion."

Citation needed indeed, but there's no academic research about this extravagant theory anyways, and with my foray into the subject, I just found the patterns to be decorative geometric shapes with a coincidental resemblance to Chladni patterns.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think any function with an increasing rate of change (ie. second derivative > 0) will yield a distribution with the same ordering of digits as Benford's if random numbers are taken from it.

I know it's heavy duty plastic, but the roots of small plants can crack rock.

It's hard to tell from all these 200x200px pictures, but is the plastic the first thing on the ceiling? If that's the case, you might patch it up as it gets punctured or replace whole sections of it. I'm very curious as to how the house and vegetation will evolve on the long term, because this is pretty much my dream house.

Edit: After looking at the rest of the website, it becomes clear that they know what they're doing. I'm still curious about the details.

Then just add some standard chorus+reverb processing, possibly a bit of distortion.

There are other programs that do this kind of thing (Photosounder, MetaSynth), oddly not so much free software.

As a side note, it's kind of odd that the coloring in this gui lays out the light spectrum with the low frequencies in violet and the high frequencies in red.

I did a bit of research on the subject, and they don't seem to really exist. It's possible that the longer wavelength poses technical difficulties. The individual receptors are too big and you can't cram them together at a sufficient density. Also, the lensing and shielding needs to be completely re-thought.

There's a 2012 paper called "Portable Real-Time Microwave Camera at 24 GHz" but i couldn't access it (not in academia).

Yes there is overlap, that is inevitable. Yes, you can always make it ugly and there are old vestigial features that you probably shouldn't use. These standards have a long, complicated history, but the end result is surprisingly consistent.

The different layouts in CSS (inline, block...) are powerful tools once you get used to them. They solve the problem of reconciling different layout models that are useful in different situations. And that's one hell of a problem that won't go away, even in alternate utopias. In fact most of the complaints here are just about practical solutions to inevitable problems.

Maybe I'll look at the source and see if I can apply this.

If the verification is done with a part of the electromagnetic spectrum that somewhat penetrates the coin, then you'll need a very thick, "obvious fake" layer. I am not a physicist so this is just vague speculation.

The mockups of mission branding and press conferences were rather well made though, so I can imagine why you'd get that impression.
