  1. Re:RealClimate has a big reply on this on Climatic Research Unit Hacked, Files Leaked · · Score: 1

    Good God, who made you up? Grant money flows to scientists whose results are published by respected journals, and cited by other scientists. Apparently, you missed the emails where the following was written:

    Actually, Grant's are *not* rewarded based on who's been published in the "peer reviewed literature". Grant's are (or should be) rewarded on how well a scientist understands the current science and how good his/her plan will expand current knowledge. Talking about the "Peer reviewed literature" like it's the only path to truth is bizarre. Or maybe I'm just to old. Have HS science books changed the Scientific method to...
    Ask a Question
    Do Background Research
    Construct a Hypothesis
    Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
    Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
    Pray for publication in the "peer revied literature".

    Last time I checked, Steve and Anthony weren't trying to shake down the planet.

  3. Re:The only thing lamer than this verdict on Psystar Crushed In Court · · Score: 1

    Agreed. As a user of software, I'm always in favor of something that expands my rights as a user when it comes to software licenses. To say that you can't have the freedom to do whatever you want with the software after it is purchased seems ridiculous to me. PJ's got a completely anti-consumer stance on this one, and her zealousness about it and others opinions are very off-putting.

  4. Re:It'll screw us all and achieve nothing. on US House May Pass "Cap & Trade" Bill · · Score: 1

    I like the idea of a flat tax on CO2 emissions, but unfortunately that will never pass this congress. Theres no money in it for special interests. The primary purpose of any representative seems to be how to sacrifice the good of the common man for the good of the special interests. Sad. Time to secede from the Union.

  5. AGW Asshats on Painting The World's Roofs White Could Slow Climate Change · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Anyone in the US who thinks the earth needs to be cooler needs to sleep outside for a year. If you still have the same opinion a year later, give me a call.

  6. Re:Solar angular momentum? on Sunspot Activity Continues To Drop · · Score: 1

    Seriously. I'm wondering where you got the reference to astrology? Maybe you can provide me a quote. Or maybe you can't tell the difference between physics and astrology? :)

  7. Solar angular momentum? on Sunspot Activity Continues To Drop · · Score: 1

    Solar Angular Momentum seems to describe solar activity much better than NASA's latest predictions/models. The next few years should be telling. I've seen no refutation of this possible explanation. Maybe someone can help me find one?
