Eric, The equations you link to are so simple that linearizing them is no problem. However, there are equations somewhat harder to linearize that x = x0 + vt + 1/2 a t^2. As I have said before, a few years back I was attempting to write an ID on packet loss concealment for TDMoIP. After tr

Yaakov, While I support the general idea behind the experiment advocated in this draft, in fairness, your statement below is just your version of what John said. To see how complex a set of equations might be easily shown in text, see http://www.ksc.nasa.gov/facts/faq04.html. Roc

Speaking for myself -- As noted in the appeal, quite a few documents relate to the revocation of posting rights. They cover different types of lists, authorized enforcers, potential behaviors, remedies, and procedures. At this point, the major issue seems to be non-WG lists. I don't think
