The first time I encountered the 3D web, back in about 1995, as VRML, it was in the context of porn. They'd classily arranged the porn images as you would in an art gallery, so they you actually had to move in 3-space in this virtual world in order to go from image to image. The novelty wore off somewhere between seeing the 2nd image get closer and squaring my view up so that it wasn't wonky. Anyone who thinks that was in any way a better user experience than just slapping the space bar, or clicking a mouse button, is a retard.
It's clear that DocBook was written by a couple of groups who each had their own documentation needs in mind. So firstly there are more-than-one-way-to-do-similar-things clashes, and if you're not trying to write something that's just like one, and only one, of theirs - you'll end up with a bit of a 3-legged camel.
To be honest, I have written a few programs in tcl, and it was a very clumsy syntax that I had to fight with constantly. I have better experiences with LUA, but wish they'd stopped adding "meta" smarts to it earlier than they did, they went a bit over-the-top.
Of course, in the real world I just hack everything in Perl still no matter what other scripting languages come and go...
But this isn't $5m of governmental budget going to a NASA program, it's $5m of NASA budget going to just one of their projects. That makes it 200 times larger (as NASA's budget is.5% of the governmental budget).

Perhaps things got shaken up a bit after 2011? Maybe the guy who took over started off a nosedive, and now wants to find a scapegoat?
Sounds like you've accepted the "GW" as reality, but none of your evidence proves the "A" part.
I live in a part of the world that was completely under ice 10000 years ago. I don't believe it was humans who caused the glaciers to retreat back then, no matter what the flora and fauna were doing.
The problem with the anthropogenic part is that it's almost impossible to come up with something that's scientific and falsifiable - we can't have a control, we can't blind, we can do little more than show fairly believable correlations. But we all know that correlations "prove" that storks bring babies. (Of course, measurably changing our behaviour, and seeing if half a century of such behaviour measurably changed the climate, would be an experiment that could falsify or help prove many of the theories, but it's rather unlikely to be done any time soon. Of course, that change could be done in either direction;-) )
Presumably that 2010 Grauniad article is by the same Suzanne Goldenberg who's behind this 2013 story?
It does sound like she's got an agenda. Independent (where one must evaluate independence with as much scrutiny as they do that of the TP & the Kochs) sources would be more convincing. To the open minded that is, I'm sure many have completely made up their minds on both sides.
My "accept" was from the viewpoint of the very lowest layers of the HTTP communication. You can't stop them being sent to you (except by not loading the payload they're in the headers for). You might chose to bin them and never return them to their sender, which is what I do. But the " Set-Cookie:" line still polutes the HTTP headers, and there's nothing you can do to stop that. If you're accepting the headers and the payload, which you are, then, as by accepting the whole you've accepted all parts, you've accepted the cookie too. It's been sent to you - you read it, you parsed it, you then decided what to to with it. Reword "accept" as "receive" if my terminology perturbs you.
My point is that third-party cookies get flung at you from a seemingly infinite, continually churning, set of domains. I presently have cookies from 12 hosts, but I have a set of "always bin the cookie" rules that's probably a thousand domains long. (My AdBlock and NoScript rules have prevented thousands of other domains from even being able to fling cookies at me, of course.)
A session cookie is little different from a train ticket. You use it to prove you're someone who's performed some kind of transaction in the past, and it's only valid for a short period of time.
I have a bigger problem with non-session cookies, and third-party cookies. Those you have to carry around for ever, and you have to accept them from and show them to who-the-hell-knows-whom.
Noise is fairly well handled by the hysteresis the tolerance parameter provides. I've implemented several kernel drivers that implement exactly such schemes. (for ambient light sensors, rather than thermal sensors, but I can assure you there's way more noise in a light channel than a heat one.)
I challenge you to propose a more stable solution with a lower complexity.
But how about my other point, the one about the fact you don't seem to understand the difference between higher and lower, or between hotter and colder, or between arse and elbow?
Are you saying you'd rather a climate control system engaged cooling when it's too cold, and heating when it's too warm? As that's the only thing that's contradictory to what I posted.
Once you have a shsared concept of an anergy per mass conversion, such as b specifying an explosive, then mass and energy are interconvertable, the scaling factor is decided. Normally things like "of TNT" are used, and that's a perfectly well accepted conversion factor.
It sounds possible only because you were too lazy to read the BadAstronomer's write-up, the first link in the summary. It's millions of miles away from the asteroid, on a different orbit, and apparently coming from a different direction.
If what he sets is the temperature, which is what that graph seems to indicate, then the heating would automatically turn into air conditioning when you select a lower temperature than current.

Alas some people might think that the best way of phasing it out with top priority and haste is to use it all up as quickly as possible.

But he'll be losing only the people who mind him taking his snooping tax anyway. His actual revenue stream will blindly remain.

Heck, even a "Hiroshima" is an informal unit.
Informal, but no less valid than a lump of platinum some Frenchman's got.
