    Perhaps you meant to reply to the person above me?

    I was just pointing out that many of the climate models run on supercomputers, so it isn't like the average person has that kind of computing power available.

    Later on in this article's comment section, I did mention the difficulty in getting access to the data, but generally, that isn't NASA data, but the Earth station data, as it is copyrighted to prevent the public from using it.

  2. Re:Much rejoicing... on Transfer of Internet Governance Will Go Ahead On Oct. 1 (computerworld.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Did you actually read what was written in the post you responded to?

    Darinbob was talking about the record of the US as a whole in fair and impartial governance, not ICANN or IANA. ICANN has its issues, but for whatever reason, the Internet has been able to remain above politics in the US.

    It is the massive number of countries calling for censorship that are really asking the US to give up governance. The first thing I expect will be regulated will be porn. Russia would rule that all gay porn should be outlawed, while the Muslim countries all agree, meaning half the world would vote to outlaw gay porn. The Muslim countries will feel that is not enough, all porn should be banned, as it is all sinful in their eyes. Pretty soon, porn is not allowed on the public internet.

    This is what we have to look forward to. After all, the famous quote starts "First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Socialist." First it will be gay rights, which is a touchy subject in most of the world, but it won't stop there, who will speak out?

    But even then, NASA was progressive and required open access to data and more from their supported publications.

    Except data related to climate research as no one should have access to that but climate scientists! /s

    I don't know if I would say running XP isn't a problem. Any security updates aren't being backported except extreme situations, so it is just a matter of time before XP will have an unpatched exploit in the wild.

    Do you expect MS to support old OSes forever so that people can fail to move up to the current?

    So in other words, rather than answer the question, you choose to go on a wild tangent? Good to see you can stay on subject.

    Why would you be comparing hosts to a dnscache in the local OS? That isn't DNS, it is caching used for reducing lookups to the DNS server.

    You also can't compare the "mass" of web pages, as they would be IDENTICAL. Adblock also removes ads, but I was specifically speaking to a DNS server with the same entries, which would therefore have the exact same web page loading "mass".

    So, how do you get around the massive performance hit of using hosts files vs DNS? When do you plan on shifting over to DNS...the 33 year old technology that was designed to replace hosts files? You know, the technology that uses intelligent branching tree algorithms instead of parsing the whole hosts file?

    Perhaps you should really try to fix your shit before bitching about how bad I am at technology. You seem to think that shouting me down will suddenly make DNS never have been invented to fix the issues with the hosts file. Your only solution is to add a favorites section to the hosts file, which doesn't deal with dynamic addresses, and doesn't solve the massive issues your hosts file will cause to a Active Directory domain joined computer.

    What comments are you reading about? The comments I saw were specifically talking about the crime committed against the illegal immigrants, and that he wanted to build a wall to stop illegal immigration. Where do you get the idea it was against legal immigration? Please provide citations to Trump's exact words calling for immigrants from Mexico being denied entry into the US.

    Funny, but when I read about Trump's plan, that was exactly what he proposed. He wanted to ban all people coming from Syria. But I guess when you hate someone, you just need to find reasons for your hate, and not actually look at things for yourself.

    Baltimore is also 64% black...so I would expect the police to use the Stingrays in predominately black neighborhoods more often.

  17. You do realise that Baltimore is mostly black neighborhoods don't you? Also, the highest crime areas (you know, the areas we tell our kids not to wander to?) are black.

    I would expect the police to be using tools to catch criminals in the high crime areas, wouldn't you?

    APK, this is exactly what I am talking about. You are hurling abuse that has nothing to do with the subject, and it is abuse that I have already, repeatedly, responded to.

    Do you understand that harassment in many places is illegal? You accuse me of libeling you, you know what, bring a lawsuit, I am sure the judge will get a good laugh at it all.

    You can claim all you like that you blew me away, but frankly, all you do is hurl abuse, and act like you have won an argument. Where is your responses about the timing delays of hosts files that DNS doesn't suffer from?
