IPv4 Will Not Die In 2010
darthcamaro writes "A couple of years ago, the big shots at IANA (that's the people that handle internet addressing) issued a release stating that the IPv4 address space was likely to be gone by 2010. Here we are in 2010 and guess what, IPv4 with its 4.3 billion addresses will NOT be all used up this year. In fact there could be another two years worth of addresses still left at this point. 'We're at about 10.2 percent (IPv4 address space) remaining globally,' John Curran, president and CEO of ARIN said. 'At our current trend rate we've got about 625 days before we will not have new IPv4 addresses available. We're still handling IPv4 requests from ISPs, hosting companies and large users for IPv4 address space, but that's a very short time period.'"

that about sums up the work and methodology of the Climate Research Unit
If the GP needed sand, I think we all can see that you have an abundance flowing out of various orifices.
yes, it is an accurate way to summarize their book-cooking and ex post facto predictions and treating measurements made by lip-blown hand shaped thermometers as equivalent to those made by latest digital transducer. They were in fact warning of deluge in years with more precipitation, drought in dry years, more violent hurricanes when a couple violent hurricanes occurred, more quantity of hurricanes in a yeaer with more than normal.....and of course the biggest folly is their "hockey stick" prediction while the earth thereupon went into cooling due to deep solar minimum. That is why they are "climatologists", activist with agenda getting funding for continuance of same. Real scientists have a very different opinion on the subject of AGW.
