It is now a known fact that at least one journal (Climate Research), when publishing papers that the "top dog" climate scientists didn't like, then faced retribution from those same "top dogs" who conspired to then boycott said publication (to not publish in it, or even cite any publications in it) to manipulate its editorial staff.
"Climate Research" was indeed manipulated, but but the "skeptics", not the "warmists". One editor slipped in some crap papers (which have since been comprehensively demolished). When the other editors complained and requested that an editorial explaining what happened be printed the "skeptic" refused, so the other editors resigned.
Computed COMEFROM (and conditional COMEFROM in general), now theye are powerful programming constructs.
I = I + 10 20 CONTINUE ...

(Question? Is COMEFROM 20 executed before or after the instruction labeled 20? Did I need the CONTINUE? Would any qualified NARTROF programmers care to comment?)
Former Prime Minister Moshe Katsav was born in Yazd, Iran. He's an ethnic Persian, his brother owns a chemical company in Iran. Katsav is not the only Iranian born Persian in the Kizmet.
Oh, you're talking about Persian Jews, that Baha'i stuff was a smokescreen.
I wouldn't try calling Moshe Katsav an "ethnic Persian" to his face - you'd be accusing him of not being a Jew (and hence having no right to Israeli citizenship).
why does it sound to me like 1950's space research?
Because they are doing it the way true pioneers do. Not by requesting grants from some big government and untangling miles of red tape. Not by licking some politicians ass helping him get a few votes subcontracting some part to a company in his district.
Because NASA and the US Air Force in the 1950s were the home of rugged anti-government individualism, free of all political pressure?
The Islamic Republic knows that if they start a war with Israel, Israeli tanks with Persian commanders will be seen as liberating heroes by the Iranian (Persian) people so they'll never start one.
Where does this fucking deranged fantasy come from?
For one thing French culture would never have allowed going on a worldwide rampage trying to take over the whole planet and exterminating every one who looks different from your ideal.
Oh, because Napoleon never existed in your timeline? France didn't colonise large parts of Africa and Asia? What was the first thing France did after being liberated in WW2? Attempt to crush the liberation movements in Algeria and Indochina.
Lovely people the French, not like those nasty Germans.
It's a stretch to say that Iran is Persia, but it is accurate to say that most Iranians are Persians first. An Arab minority controls the country. But the military is mostly Persian, and does not support the Muslim government.A strong contender for the most ill-informed slashdot post of the year.
Extraordinary.
And moderated "interesting" by slashdot's know-nothing mods.
I understand the whole "be brave, show your face in public" thing, but pretty much everyone who has done that has been shot at (and killed many times).
The CIA now has the technology to kill someone more than once? Nasty.
Really? So Mahmoud Ahmadinajed (and I don't care if it is spelled wrong)
Ask Obama Bin Laden about the importance of correct name-spelling;)
In both cases the problem is that it is impossible to spell them "right" in the latin alphabet. You have to write MA's name in Farsi and OBL's name in Arabic.
The latinisations of their names are transliterations, and there are often multiple transliterations that make sense.
This is one of the huge problems with so called "terrorist watch lists".
It's pretty clear that torturers are the ones most knowledgable about whether torture works and how to do it.
In exactly the same sense that rapists are the most qualified to tell you about the joys of rape.
Insults eh? I expected a fool such as you to stoop to such petty lows.
It is impossible to insult someone who defends the interrogation methods of the inquisition, French army in Algeria, School of the Americas trained South American juntas, South African Apartheid regime and Gestapo.
You might also like to reflect on the fact that all of those groups eventually lost. Using the utilitarian argument to defend torture, apart from its immorality, is stupid.
Is Iran allowed to decide which actions of Americans in America are crimes too?
They do. Look up fatwa.
Fatwa: Judgement issued by accepted religious authority
So, what Fatwa have been issued by accepted religious authorities associated with the Iranian government?
Do you accept the validity if any such Fatwa?
Because, frankly, I would give exactly as much respect to such a Fatwa as I would give to US claims that someone broke US law in a foreign country,
You might also want to check out what Australian law and the ANZUS and NATO treaties have to say about this. I'm pretty sure it was illegal for him to traffic in that information regardless of his being non-American.
You're pretty sure. Fuck, that's an authoritative source.
You might be right. But you, as you admit you might be wrong. So why did you bother to write this?
Is Iran allowed to decide which actions of Americans in America are crimes too?
The US gets to retaliate against both of them.
The US may have the power to "retaliate" against WikiLeaks.
Might does not make Right.
(By the way, normally one does not "retaliate" for a crime. One punishes the criminal. Assuming they're convicted in a court of law, of course. Maybe these basic principles of civilized behaviour are unknown to you?)
"People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices."
Your vocabulary may be large (although I've seen no evidence of that) but you don't know what ad hominem means. I'm not attacking your argument by calling you a troll, I'm attacking you. It's what we call an insult.
Torturers claim torture works. Quelle fucking suprise.
Funny that claims about mythical non ecclesiastical medieval inquisitors turns into Uruguayan fascists trained by the CIA, Americans in Vietnam, French scum in Algeria, and racist South African filth.

What crap. Been reading Cato.org much recently? http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=11022
Try http://climateprogress.org/2010/01/05/cato-institute-patrick-michaels-falsehood-stolen-emails-climategate-michael-mann-peer-review/ and follow the links, notably to the statement of the Editor-in-chief of "Climate Research", here: http://coast.gkss.de/staff/storch/CR-problem/cr.2003.htm
"Climate Research" was indeed manipulated, but but the "skeptics", not the "warmists". One editor slipped in some crap papers (which have since been comprehensively demolished).

If you brought back $105B of gold it wouldn't be worth $105B.
Learn some economics to go with your space science.
What a lot of verbiage to say:
Some routers have bad BGP implementations that handle attributes longer than 255 bytes incorrectly
Some of those routers will drop a BGP connection if thet get such an attribute.
The article makes it sound as if RIPE is in the business of distributing routes to BGP routers.

Exactly which 8 bit cpus did Unix run on in the 1970's?
Unix was first written on the 18 bit pdp-7, the rewritten for the 16 bit pdp-11, then ported to the 32 bit vax.
No 8 bit machines there.
Oh, COMEFROM is easy.

Why are these "Persian Israelis" invisible?
If you have some information about there numbers how about updating http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Israel which makes no mention of their existence.
Oh, you're talking about Persian Jews, that Baha'i stuff was a smokescreen.
I wouldn't try calling Moshe Katsav an "ethnic Persian" to his face - you'd be accusing him of not being a Jew (and hence having no right to Israeli citizenship).
You said:
NASA was financed how in the 1950s? Selling lemonade from a stand by the road?
He said
So who was doing rugged individualist space research in the 1950's?
The Soviet Union?
Because NASA and the US Air Force in the 1950s were the home of rugged anti-government individualism, free of all political pressure?
Sorry, what?

There is no such thing as a "defensive" or "offensive" weapon.
For example a working ABM system is the most dangerous offensive weapon imaginable if introduced into a system of ICBM based MAD deterrence.
