Great project, pity about the name
A laudable project indeed. However everytime I look at that "UNdata" project name, I can't help but think of it as a data source for Uncyclopedia.

Re:Sikorsky Aircraft?
Truth is rare on wikipedia, the articles there prove nothing -- other than how easy people will believe in information that basically looks correct, even when it's rarely no more than a pile of badly-written lies.
How true! I personally prefer the Uncyclopedia, and it says Igor Sikorsky doesn't exist. Oh wait, here he is, apparently he changed his name to "Smith". Hell, if I had a Russian name during the cold war I'd change it to "Smith" too!
Ignore that nonsense on Wikipedia, Uncyclopedia is way more accurate. -

Re:too much money for too littleTalk about starved for content...
Uncyclopedia bills itself as "the content-free encyclopedia". Excerpt from today's front page...Did you know...
- ...that the eleventh secret herb and spice is LSD?
- ...that John Cage has never made silence sound more golden?
- ...that you can always pay your credit card bills using your credit card?
- ...that air guitars are similar in shape to normal guitars, with the notable difference that they are made entirely out of air?
- ...that Sperm are like hippies: they all stink, all of them are the same, but we can't just have enough of them?
- ...that the Bavarian Illuminati used "That's what she said" as a secret code? No one knows exactly which she they were referring to, as they were a very sexist organization and had vowed collectively forsake the female species. Go figure.

Re:Yes but...Excuse me sir, but are you trolling? Please stop, as I'm a recovering troll biter. You should do your trolling offline like we do here in Springfield.
On the off chance that you're not trolling but genuinly ignorant and brainwashed, you might want to read what Wikipedia has to say. I never heard of the link you (and several others) have redundantly submitted. It appears to be a site some college kid (yay U of I! I'll give him credit for that) just opened up. He appears to have no credentials on the subject AT ALL as he's a computer science major.
The graph shown is for a few years. It's an anomoly. Compare it to the graph Wikipedia shows; there are ups and downs throughout the entire 150 year period it covers, but on the whole it's UP UP UP.The Earth's climate changes in response to external forcing, including variations in its orbit around the Sun (orbital forcing),[13][14][15] volcanic eruptions,[16] and atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. The detailed causes of the recent warming remain an active field of research, but the scientific consensus[17][18] is that the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases due to human activity caused most of the warming observed since the start of the industrial era. This attribution is clearest for the most recent 50 years, for which the most detailed data are available. Some other hypotheses departing from the consensus view have been suggested to explain the temperature increase. One such hypothesis proposes that warming may be the result of variations in solar activity.[19][20][21]
The blog posting is by a fellow named Michael Asher. No citations besides news sources are cited, and it doesn't even say what Asher's field of expertise is. For all I know he's president of Exxon, or maybe a thirteen year old middle school student.
None of the effects of forcing are instantaneous. The thermal inertia of the Earth's oceans and slow responses of other indirect effects mean that the Earth's current climate is not in equilibrium with the forcing imposed. Climate commitment studies indicate that even if greenhouse gases were stabilized at 2000 levels, a further warming of about 0.5 C (0.9 F) would still occur.[22]
You might as well get your science views from Uncyclopedia. At least you know they're not only talking out their asses, but TRYING to be funny (as oppesed to the blog you link which is unintentionally funny). -

Re:Why would I even want to be in the BoardroomI know a girl who is a big time tax nerd.. natural born bureaucrat, wildly successful.. wears a lot of suits.
You have a funny idea of what a "nerd" is. What, exactly, is your definition of a nerd? I never met a nerd bureaucrat, or a tax nerd, or a nerd who wore lots of suits.
My definitions come from the traditional places you find out what things are.
The dictionary says:nerd also nurd (nûrd) Pronunciation Key
n. Slang
1. A foolish, inept, or unattractive person.
2. A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept.
nerd'y adj.
Word History: The word nerd, undefined but illustrated, first appeared in 1950 in Dr. Seuss's If I Ran the Zoo: "And then, just to show them, I'll sail to Ka-Troo And Bring Back an It-Kutch a Preep and a Proo A Nerkle a Nerd and a Seersucker, too!" (The nerd is a small humanoid creature looking comically angry, like a thin, cross Chester A. Arthur.) Nerd next appears, with a gloss, in the February 10, 1957, issue of the Glasgow, Scotland, Sunday Mail in a regular column entitled "ABC for SQUARES": "Nerd--a square, any explanation needed?" Many of the terms defined in this "ABC" are unmistakable Americanisms, such as hep, ick, and jazzy, as is the gloss "square," the current meaning of nerd. The third appearance of nerd in print is back in the United States in 1970 in Current Slang: "Nurd [sic], someone with objectionable habits or traits.... An uninteresting person, a 'dud.'" Authorities disagree on whether the two nerds--Dr. Seuss's small creature and the teenage slang term in the Glasgow Sunday Mail--are the same word. Some experts claim there is no semantic connection and the identity of the words is fortuitous. Others maintain that Dr. Seuss is the true originator of nerd and that the word nerd ("comically unpleasant creature") was picked up by the five- and six-year-olds of 1950 and passed on to their older siblings, who by 1957, as teenagers, had restricted and specified the meaning to the most comically obnoxious creature of their own class, a "square."
Note that the protagonist in that book, the one who ran the zoo that had a nerd in it, was named after me two years before I was born! Yay me!
Wikipedia says before talking about the mcgrew nerd again:Nerd is a term often bearing a derogatory connotation or stereotype, that refers to a person who passionately pursues intellectual activities, esoteric knowledge, or other obscure interests that are age inappropriate rather than engaging in more social or popular activities. Therefore, a nerd is often excluded from physical activity and considered a loner by peers.
And finally, my favirite reference, the Uncyclopedia. Its entry was surely written by a nerd, as it has Mr. T at the very top of the page:I PITY THE FOO' THAT DOESN'T FIX THIS CRAP!"
All of these fine scholarly references have more, except that lameass dictionary.
Someone help this sucka of a page by rewriting it.
And make it drink its milk too. Only then can it join The A-Team
Whoops! Maybe you were looking for HowTo:Get Laid?

~ Russian reversal on nerds
A nerd (homo intelligencia, floro sapiens, virginus nerdius, or "homo supa smarcia") is a member of an odd species known for its love of 'puters, bad fashion sense, and inability to communicate with members of the opposite sex. While some lucky individuals are born nerds, the rest of us have to make an effort to evolve into nerds.

Re:Darn, now I have to RTFA
Well YAY! That means I don't have to RTFA, so I'm still not new here!
But for those who actually did RTFA, if TFA said that then it was written by someone stupid, ignorant, or both. How can you take anything it says seriously? Can anybody point to a FA from a less developmentally disabled author? -
Re:How many times?
And we all know that Nader is going to run another, "Both parties are the same even though they vote the opposite" campaign.
Perhaps he and his supporters expect *every* Democrat to vote the same on *every* issue? Because that's usually what his campaign speeches come down to. Never mind that the vast majority of Democrats, on a given issue, side with him, and that compromises are almost always made only due to pressure from Republicans. No, because all don't fall in lockstep with his views, both parties are clearly the same. -

Any law that attempts to regulate speech will be shot down. Or at least, SHOULD BE shot down (but with the esteemed members of the US Supreme Court these days, who knows what could happen? After all, they ruled that "limited" means whatever Congress says it means.

Evidently, Gates lacked the foresight to realise one cannot go far without a ticket...If you have more than six hundred and sixty six brain cells and don't want to enter hell, the religious nutcakes at Conservapedia have written an article about Microsoft.Micro$$$oft (formerly known as Magma, ltd and the translation from German of micro schaft, literally meaning small penis and international communist bureau of the Holy See) is the name of a now defunct software company coined by Jeff Metz and his first wife. Since its incorporation it has distributed duct tape, wombats, cinnamon, toilet rolls, Donald Trump, turnips, syphilis and horn-rimmed spectacles to numerous international markets. It has also had a minor role in the computer industry. The opposite of Microsoft is Megahard.

Re:Am I slow?Wikipedia? What? You know that's not a reliable source of information. So I looked it up in the uncyclopedia:
A Black hole is an impossible object which makes the Universe work. It has the useful property of being "undetectable". It's like when your spouse comes home with a dent in the car, and blames it on an invisible black mass; the dent is proof of the black mass, but you can't, and never will be able to see it with CCTV cameras, but you know it's there. "Dark matter" is an equally undetectable force that causes cars to defy gravity, and hit invisible black holes. Astronomers will tell you that lots of them have spouses with dents in their cars, and can explain this is very technical terms, so you won't be able to understand why it's not possible.

Re:Well, they are just students, after all.
people in their student years are always trying different things out. It's hard for older people to take them seriously sometimes
How can you take someone seriously when they're listening to rap and have stupid permanent marks all over themselves? How can you take a man wearing earrings seriously?
You know why it's hard to take youth seriously. If you're twenty, how easy is it to tale a five year old seriously? I mean come on, he's got a boogger hanging from his nose and a frog in his pocket.
Once when I was about seven or eight there were a group of adults trying to figure out how to do something or other, and the solution was obvious. I kept trying to give them the answer and they kept shushing me. After a few hours they came to the same conclucions themselves.
I try to keep that in mind when I'm talking to some kid with a piercing that looks like he's got a booger hanging from his nose.
