    Watch CNN when there is a tech-related security story. Jeanne Meserve will come on and spout psudo-technical garbage that makes no sense at all.

    It took months for Wolf Blitzer to memorize the "You can now follow me on Twitter at twitter.com/wolfblitzercnn" spiel. And there's no way in hell that retard writes his own tweets anyway.

  6. Google Censoring Climategate on Scientists Step Down After CRU Hack Fallout · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Shortly after the story broke, "climategate" used to be one of the top autocomplete suggestions as you started typing it out.

    Now it's no where to be found.

    Even "climategat" won't give you the suggestion of "climategate".

    "Climategate" has over 20,000,000 hits.

    "Climate Guatamala City" has 840,000 hits.
    "Climate Guadalajara" has less that 800,000 hits.

    Obviously search suggestions are not driven by the number of hits, but the frequency of the search.
    But:

    - There is an order of magnitude difference in the hits for "Climategate" and other suggested search terms.

    - You get suggestions for things that don't match what you're typing, yet you don't get suggestions for spelling "climategat" or "climategate".

    - "Climategate" used to be a search suggestion. It appears as if the algorithms at Google picked up on it as they should, and it was MANUALLY REMOVED.

    You DO however still get the suggestion of "climate gate scandal" if you start typing in "climate g", though there are only 6,500,000 hits for "climate gate scandal" and the top few pages are filled mostly with the same Joseph Bast article talking mostly about economics.

    Bing has NO suggestions for "climategate" or "climate gate", though I do not know if it ever did.

    The CEO of Exxon is the CEO of a company that provides an invaluable service to the entire world.

    The guy who stepped down? He's running a political organization designed to create laws and a new economy that will leech money off of the oil industry and the common people.

    I don't like that the CEO of Exxon rakes in assloads of cash when economies suffer from fuel prices. But at least Exxon provides a service, manipulates the world governments to a far lesser degree, and doesn't take a complete shit on science itself.

    Bullshit zealot canned response number 326 of 27124.

    Scientists, researchers, and all of academia do not get paid for their research/work only in cash money - they also get compensated by:

    Getting published
    Getting tenure
    Getting recognition and accolades
    Getting access to equipment, time (No need to teach! You're a Professor!) and lab space to further their research

    All of the above directly influence their ability to:

    Attending conferences for $
    Give speeches for $$
    Write books for $$$
    Become a political party's puppet adviser for $$$$
    Become a corporation's scientist at large for $$$$$

    Most scientists stick to the $ and $$ categories.
    Some get into the $$$ and $$$$ categories.
    A handful get the $$$$$.

    At least you kept warm.. In my day the temperature never got above -10 Kelvin.

    My home town nearly went to zero Kevins back in 1978.

    It was a particularly cold winter, and we were already down to 3 Kevins (due to their low popularity at the time).

    Kevin Thomas had flown out to be with his son's family for a wedding and got stuck in Boston for a whole week due to the weather. 2 Kevins left.

    Kevin Lemmer was rushed to the hospital during my shift. I still remember the call from the EMTs as the ambulance was rushing toward us. "It's Lemmer. He's in bad shape. Drove right into the fucking ditch." We called the time of death at 6:15 PM.

    At 6:16, all eyes turned to room 2217. Kevin Spencer was 82 and on his death bed with leukemia. His family being Catholic, he had already been given his last rights. If he couldn't hold out until Kevin Thomas returned, we would be at zero Kevins. Sure, we had 4 perfectly healthy Calvins, but they're just not the same.

    It was 7:15 when Carla Brooks and her husband James burst through the main entrance. "She's not due for 2 weeks!", James exclaimed. As the staff bustled around getting the Brookses settled, they exchanged darting glances with each other. This was their first child, and they wanted to keep the baby's sex a secret. Of course, in a small town, secrets don't get kept. Nearly all of the hospital staff new that the child about to rip open Mrs. Brooks was indeed a boy.

    The delivery was routine, and Kevin Brooks was born healthy, if a tad underweight, at 10:52 PM. Kevin Spencer was pronounced dead at 10:54.

    It was, as they say, a close one. Kevin Thomas arrived two days later, the weather having finally cleared up. To this day, we still rib him about it.

    Cedar Falls is currently at 5 Kevins.

    That's terrible if you want any kind of control, though.

    And it doesn't solve the problem of multiple people accessing the document (and editing it) at the same time.

    It just hides the problem, and forces you to go back and see who did what. They make that easy, sure, but it's no easier than "Document - By Bob on Date" and "Document - By Jane on Date". In fact, this is what Google Docs essentially does.

    The open access, open edit method Google Docs uses is great for sharing, but it's terrible if you want any kind of control over who can view/edit a document when, redaction, or in general any kind of workflow where all users are not equal or usage rights change over time.
