So, there's 207 billion tons of CO2 introduced in to the atmosphere each year. Of that, 7 billion tons per year are made by humanity. The other 200 billion tons per year are produced by nature.
Over the last 30 years, global temperatures were predicted to climb.8 C. Actual rise was.2 C (not bad, only 400% off).
Suppose that we are able to cut man made CO2 in half. That's a decrease of 3.5 billion tons per year. That's about 1.75% reduction. Any one care to guess-timate (which is all these global warming alarmist are doing) the impact on temperature change? Anyone care to guess the economic impact?
A fascist democracy? The only thing democratic about Iran is that, like Sodamn Insane, ooops, I mean, Saddam Huessin, they told you who you were allowed to vote for. At least liberals are a little more sneaky when they try to rig and/or steal elections over here.
Deposits of $10,000 or greater have always been reported to the IRS, not Homeland security, for tax reasons. This was implemented back in the Carter administration as a method of tracking mafia money being laundered.
That way, W. get's even more votes and the whiny Liberals can have something else to go on about, since, the hunting accident is (and never really was to anyone outside the MSM) a big deal anymore:)
Aside from the initial added cost of the laptop over the desktop, the additional maintenence (1.5 manhours to support a laptop -v- ~.9 manhours for a desktop), the lost time for warranty repairs (cracked screens, lost/defective wireless cards, coffee spilled on keyboards being the biggest ones) and the increased theft/loss of systems with business data on them, "" our transition went very smoothly ""
So, they'll cooperate with a repressive communist government to keep people from seeing information that the Chinese government doesn't want their serfs to see, but, when the United States government asks for about search results without any personal information being relayed, they won't cooperate?
Huh!

He's not absolving Apple at all. If you don't read the feature list, the EULA, etc. then caveat emptor. The information is there. You've been warned. If you're crossing against the light, don't blame me when I run your a$$ over.
Did anyone happen to notice that there were areas on that map in the article that showed no change or actually cooled? Isn't kind of difficult to show statistical differences or to create any kind of forecasting model based on one years worth of data?
It's called getting in your car and driving wherever you want to go. You do have the right not to show your ID to get on a plane. Just make sure you're also ready to exercise your right to walk your butt out of the airport. If I pick up a hitchhiker, and if they want to ride in my car, they better have something with their name on it or, they can keep walking down the road.
Also, I hate to burst any bubbles, but, nowhere in the Constitution are you guaranteed the right to privacy.
I think this is all a Vast Left Wing Conspiracy perpetrated by the unholy alliance of PETA and KFC, created to spread MS-like FUD (F**ked-Up-Devices) so that people have even less of a clue as to what's happening in the world than they already do.
Is why the voting machine doesn't just use a touch screen to accomodate the people that are too feeble to completely punch a hole through a piece of paper. The touchscreeen voting machine would then print out a complete listing of what you've entered, in plain text, along with a barcode scannable line next to it. Once the person verifies that the ballot is correct, drop it in a box and have a nice day. This way, you get the ease of use of electronic voting, along with a verifiable paper trail.
Re-read the f'ing article. The first member of the family, i.e. Blue Gene/L runs at 200 teraflops etc., and will run the sims at LLNL. The petaflop system will be the one doing the protein fold sims.
The big bone of contention is that Starbucks is using the same frequencies as Personal Telco. As a result, service is degraded for both services. Since Personal Telco was there first, and since they're using spare bandwidth from companies that surround Pioneer Square, it seems that by doing this, Starbucks would be somehow using the bandwidth that these other companies are donating. It would also seem that, since Personal Telco was there first, then it's be up to T-Mobile (the company implementing the wi-fi network for Starbucks) to find a different channel to inhabit.
Electrokinetic propulsion is all well and good. It might happen, it might not. Big, black and stealth are possible too. Keeping it semi-secret is possible too. All you really need to look for though, are the hangers. Ever see one? for a blimp that large, they'd have to be quite large as well. And if they're placed somewhere reasonably flat, like an airfield, you can see them from quite a distance out. There are some near the coast where I live and they're hard to miss.
Part of this that kills me is that he mentions the $175 billion in worldwide software sales last year as being a significant contributor to worldwide economic growth. While $175 billion is a lot of money, WalMarts total revenue for last year was $166 billion all by themselves. Perhaps the software that help these companies run comes from Microsoft, but, my guess is that the software that really drives manufacturing and the global economic growth isn't Microsoft s/w. If you look at the top 25 companies on the Fortune 500 list (Microsoft comes in at #79), less than half of them use MS software for anything mission critical. Sure, most of them may be using Windows on their desktops, you can bet their servers and CAD/CAM runs on something else.
For vapor, OS X is running pretty well on my G4 right now. And on my Linux box, there's a pretty solid looking beta of Nautilus running... or, maybe I need to lay off all the cough syrup in the morning.
Isn't it amazing that this "study" and "article" fail to account for the fact that, since these students have access to the internet to download mp3's, that maybe they have credit cards too and that they're using them to buy CD's online?
Any definition I've ever seen defines a supercomputer as any device that can execute one billion floating point operations per second, i.e. 1 gigaflop/sec. According to all the spec and benchmarks I've been able to find on this topic, the Motorola PPC 7400 microprocessor (used in the Apple G4 computer) meets this requirement. Gonzodoggy Since the federal government placed restrictions on the export of these computers under the same guideline, then, it seems that we already have affordable supercomputers for under $4000 (unless you order the supercool 22 flat panel display with it for $3900) Even though those export resrictions have been relaxed, the G4 still cannot be exported to Russia, Iraq, Libya, or any other countries that are deemed unfriendly to the Western world

When has the government (with either party in charge) ever done anything efficiently or competently?

Tell that to the folks in Poland and the rest of Europe. 60+ deaths in Poland due to record cold weather... yah, it's global warming alright.
