  1. Re: Say "No more!" to Climate Posts on Past Measurements May Have Missed Massive Ocean Warming · · Score: 1

    I managed to read your post although I speedily skipped through the latter half.

    So you're saying that because crops grow well in rainforests, and rainforests are warmer than Canadian tundra, that global warming should be good for crops right?

    Well did you balance the amount of tundra-to-rainforest conversion against the rainforest-to-desert conversion? YOU DIDN'T!? 8-O

    Spoilers: It will tell us that the rich have all-consuming, all-important needs and the rest of us merely have trifling wants. Act surprised.

    If some light is being turned into electricity and then heat on the surface instead of being reflected into space, that adds heat to the atmosphere doesn't it?

    Crop yields down. Yes, seriously.

    All you've shown is that we're growing more corn - which should be no surprise to anyone given how it's used in all our first-world processed junk food, and now we're even using it to fuel our cars. And the US has been subsidizing the hell out of it.

    Suggesting that global warming could be a net positive for global crop yields flies in the face of all research to date:

    This is one of the biggest problems global warming is bringing with it, I don't know how you'd missed it.

    Good article, all climate denialists should read this.

  7. Re: Say "No more!" to Climate Posts on Past Measurements May Have Missed Massive Ocean Warming · · Score: 1

    We don't have to choose between more heat and an ice age, and while you might think a warmer climate might be nice in your particular area, there is literally a world of negative side effects that would come with it which you would likely find to be the less desirable option. There's nothing nice about global warming. Crop yields down, nasty weather up...lots of info is available if you wish to seek it out (protip: avoid the conspiracy blog echo chamber).

    Technically this wasn't jamming - it was a DoS through wifi deauth attacks.

    Actually jamming other wifi routers while keeping yours up would be extremely tricky or maybe impossible.

  10. Re:the solution: on The $1,200 DIY Gunsmithing Machine · · Score: -1, Troll

    Exactly.

    But in the mind of libertarian nutball Cody Wilson, lawmakers will just say "Welp, he beat us, time to pack up and go home, I'll see if I can charter an APC for us since it's gonna be like Somalia out there. This is the worst day since the basic theoretical disproof and repeated cracks of DRM made us give up on digital copyright issues."

  11. BS sense is tingling! on China Worried About Terrorist Pigeons · · Score: 1

    My BS meter is immediately going off because:

    - It's a story about how crazy the Chinese government is, this topic is prime BS news breeding ground
    - It's a little too good to be true
    - Many sources have deleted the news, current source is "Agencies."

    I fully expect to get the full story in the next Cracked.com BS news roundup.

    Keep in mind these are asians we're talking about, and according to their action movies and cartoons, they have about 10 gallons of blood stored under high pressure :-P

  13. Re:Maybe citizens saw duplicity? on Scientists Seen As Competent But Not Trusted By Americans · · Score: 1

    Yes, this is a common set of mistakes and misunderstandings as well as the bizarre focus on grant money over the money in the entire fossil fuel industry that the average climate denialist partakes in.

  14. Don't trust pirate sites? on Piracy Police Chief Calls For State Interference To Stop Internet "Anarchy" · · Score: 1

    Then you really won't like legal media which includes DRM which will make the user experience vastly more frustrating than it would be for a pirate, and/or online authentication servers that usually go down at some point in the future, rendering your purchase useless.

    But seriously they're not Americans so they're not going to fill any object that could be a fun target with holes just because they can get away with it.

    Yep in these parts, most of the rich have government "connections."

    Recently had a similar incident with illegally imported cars. Quickly forgotten about. People kept cars illegally discounted by a greater amount than an average Joe's annual salary around here.

    My dad works for a guy who isn't *physically* hiding anything on his property, but has hidden all the money spent to build it in a hilarious shell game. And yes he has government "connections." And a sweet little guest house for his motorcycle.

    Because it's going to be less than the weight of a large candy bar. 12km is a very long flight for a quadcopter. I'm surprised they didn't use a fixed-wing aircraft. It would be harder to automate but one RC pilot's salary isn't a bad price to pay for this publicity stunt.

    The little old lady wouldn't have to know about it. She sends in a background check for the bagger, it comes back saying Something Bad because he's on the government's naughty list, and the little old lady doesn't hire the guy and yet doesn't have any idea a Do Not Hire list exists.

    There are conspiracy theories swirling about a "Do Not Hire" list that will flag otherwise innocent people in a background check if they're on the government's naughty list. It's possible at least...but what are the odds that EVERY job this guy applied to ran a check that could be exploited?
