Encrypting your paper. WTF?!

Holy. Friggin. Farking. ARGH!!!

I can't believe I spent a whole week to try to understand the maths in this paper, and when I finally figured out what they're trying to say, it's basically saying that the energy of the signal is the square of the signal's voltage. (Or something similar)

REALLY not amused.

I'm sick and tired of people writing their paper in the most convoluted way!! ARGH! I know that easy maths isn't as impressive, but dammit if you want to present your paper just write the bloody algorithm out and explain rather than dressing it up with more integral signs that I can count with my fingers. ARGH!

Sadly my supervisor told me to do similar things before: write everything out in maths equations. Yes it looks very impressive. But ALL I wanted to say is just "sum the damned thing", I don't need no summation series or whatnots.

Sooner or later maybe I too will lose my ability to speak in plain English. And THAT is plain scary.

poor Lisa, it looks like I'll have to practice in the language of mathematics in order to talk to you in the near future :P
