  1. Re:The meaning of random on Greenland Ice Sheet Melts At Record Rate In 2010 · · Score: 1

    I want to see the max and min values with associated dates for the 1979 - 2009 periods. Also, I don't understand why we (US Citizens) have paid roughly 1.3 million dollars to get vague and inconclusive results like this. I really wish that the NSF would start funding real science for a change. Here's an example of other weird stuff they research with our money. http://majorityleader.gov/YouCut/Review.htm "This work was supported by NSF grants ANS 0909388 and ARC 0901962, the NASA Cryosphere Program, and the Ohio State University Climate Water and Carbon Program. Field work along the K-transect has been supported by NWO/ALW." Here's the grant information. http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward.do?AwardNumber=0909388 http://www.recovery.gov/Transparency/RecipientReportedData/pages/RecipientProjectSummary508.aspx?AwardIdSur=29630 I'm not totally against NSF I think it's an awesome idea but I would like some accountability.

  3. Netflix or Productivity? on Why There's Still No Netflix App For Android · · Score: 1

    So the choices are (movies and netflix) or my smartphone? You know what...if I cancelled my netflix and stopped going to see movies...that would free up so much of my time! I could spend time figuring out how to make my millions instead of gaining weight on the sofa! Even if I don't make my millions I could read and expand my mind! Plus with all the money I save I could probably buy a used sports car and have some REAL fun. Hmmm...which should I choose?
