I have been following this project for a while. I remember seeing a comment around here, referring to it as "vaporware" so I am glad to see they have some working samples now, and I hope to see their Flying Squirrel user-upgradeable tablet soon on the market.
When somebody asks me if I want a Budweiser, Coors Lite, etc. I reply I like beer, not alcoholic water.
I usually tend to go for beer in the category of porters and stouts, and ales some times. Negra Modelo is what I drink when I don't have so much choice, but I live near Portland, OR. so beer selection is usually not a problem around here.
Organic Chemistry is not rocket science. I haven't seen those videos, but if they are introductory subjects, 2 immersed weeks sound about enough to me. I'll take a look at the videos today and see.
I speak three languages pretty well, two of them are of Latin origin (Spanish and Portuguese), and Spanish being my native language. I got really fluent in Portuguese in about 6 months, but those who know how close Spanish and Portuguese are, will know that that's not a hard task.
But to get fluent in English it took me some years, living in the U.S. I also know enough to understand Polish, but speaking it is pretty hard for me.
With that said, I can say with a lot of confidence that this guy is most likely to be lying.
