Anthropic principal. We perceive it better because we have modern communications. Do you think we'd hear about Sumatra 200 years ago? Or even Haiti? We have global 24/7 monitoring of the world and instantaneous messaging. Literacy rates are rough the roof. Before if it even got published you'd have to have someone read it to you. No more, no less is happening then as it is now. We just know more about it, instantaneously. Can't read we'll tell and show you on radio and TV.
When taking everything into account, you have to take into account orbital mechanics - orbital distance, axial tilt, solar variation, before you even get to the factors on this planet. The earth has been a snowball, and it has been devoid of ice. We weren't responsible for any of that. Antarctica had plants and animals on it. Is that evidence of cooling or something else?
Weird stuff has always happened. It was just a lot harder until recently to have it survive in the record. Up until everything very recently, it as "god's will". Now we can attribute or wonder about our own consequences. That does not mean it is automatically our fault. Frogs falling from the sky would be attributed to god, but we know how and why now. The rest of your mumbo-jumbo will eventually give way to causality.
In the end, the paper's original observation is correct - that the models are forecasting more heat than is experienced. That is not in debate. What is debatable are the mechanics of why. Somewhere the science is not settled yet. And we've got to figure that out.
When you buy your gas-guzzling SUV, it'll come with an EV, so the average of the two makes 55mpg. Maybe the SUV will even be able to launch the EV.Think the original Optimus Prime and Roller.
UEA, is a British organization. They do have FOIA, but they don't work the same as NOAA. NOAA can only use public information, and generates public information. UEA does use public info, but it also uses private info. That private info was the holdup[1]. They need permission to release that. Does the private info matter? Well it seems so in that the NAM sucks the GFS (European) model is more accurate.
[1] The holdup was also in that UEA was inundated with requests for data and viewed the FOIA requests as a denial of service attack. They did then pripriitixe and release info, but selectively, which gave the impression that climate skeptics/deniers were not being serviced fairly which only added to the skeptics/denier's anger. And on more than one occasion info was released to non-skeptic/deniers that should not have been.
Now the only question is did they release raw data, or the "adjusted" data...
QML is like CSS, with inline JS, and Qt's API expressed as JS bindings.
True some advanced things still need C++, but you can make QML component objects from and use them in larger projects as a "custom control". Also there is the database API. The global object holds some misc properties.
People can and do whole app is in QML. And the advanced stuff from Qt Mobility - GPS, etc comes with JS/QML bindings.
Over 90% of vehicles are automatics, and I don't know if this is chicken or egg situation.Less models offer manual as an option - is that manufacturer's choice or buyers? For autos, the manufacturer can control power and torque better, making transmissions cheaper to manufacture. Example: in the old days, you could rev it and drop the clutch in a manual or shift into drive in an auto. Your transmission had to handle this peak situation. Now, the auto transmission will delay engagement or bring the power on more slowly than that - meaning the transmission can use cheaper parts because you will only ever use 80% of what is possible.
The same thing is being applied to over-all efficiency. By delaying gratification and taking the driver's style out of the shifting equation, the manuf can get more consistent performance and wear while getting higher MPGs. It's better all around, save for driver freedom. (See Top Gear's M3 vs Prius mileage test (REQUIRED VIEWING)
Floppy died a painfully slow death, but did thanks to Zip disks (100MB capacity, and could survive back-pack abuse much better than the 3.5" 1.44MB cousin) Which worked for a while (having to carry around the Zip drive... but really USB flash killed it all. Highly durable, will survive laundry. Small, fast, and accepted everywhere.
DVDs in comparison are fragile. Scratched media. Over-powered lasers (lie on some Sony players) kill RW disks.
And for those of us on the "edge" wireless and dropbox is replacing any media at all.
Loudness just got replaced by something far worse.
We need to enact some kind of legislation against autotune. Or use the SAP channel for the non-auto-tuned version. I'm sure music is just going through a new synthesizer revolution like in the early 80s, and it'll eventually be used properly, but damn if pop music isn't insufferable right now.
Um. Yeah. Apple takes KHTML, turns it into something called WebKit, makes it work well as Safari, then re-releases it as Open Source WebKit. That's heavy handed alright.
Completely different. What you are looking at in TFA is a graphical GUI rendered as text. What you are showing is a re-parsing of the dialogs into ncurses. You could do the same thing in Qt, you'd just need to instantiate your TUI from parsing the XML.ui files.
Actually it is for real. The Light House project is Qt's magnum opus of platform independence. It is how Qt can target Android, iPhone and desktop in one fell swoop. Really, all this needs is a QPainter that maps to colors and ASCII.
I think Qt is the most underrated technology out there. Probably because it is C++, and not many people care to use C++ these days.
I am much more interested in seeing LulzSec become bedfellows with the government. Also, wikileaks. Once they start using information from these sources, the establishment must admit they do society some good. Both organizations while operating illegally are operating on moral grounds: that truth and fairness prevail. Meanwhile we have the legitimate government continually hiding information that is "not in the best interest" (according to them) for people to know. Who is worse? Well absent perfectly transparent government (you'll never get it) I believe we need both. Checks and Balances... The government to keep lulzsec/anon/wikileaks etc "in line" (roughly, if they get too heavy handed they get targeted by the feds) and lulzsec/anon/wikileaks etc to keep the government/corporations honest.
In a perfect world we'd need neither, but we're not in a perfect world...
I remember back in college, they said "today's generation was losing focus ability for task-switching ability", much like the very computers creating the change. Now, we're ADD. Now, according to this, we won't remember a thing! So that's how computers come to take over. Not because they want to, but because they have to.
What really did my attention in though was my DVR. If I go distracted, I could just hit back and re-watch something. Except you can't do that in conversation. The ability to focus less often has I think changed my mind the most for the worse.

A lot of my spam which passes SPF tests comes through GMAIL . I'm glad they're doing this because spammers love them.
FTFY.
But please recognize that the whole DomainKeys thing made Gmail/Yahoo accounts more valuable, because they get passed to more inboxes as opposed dropped into the tasty spam folder.
With the rise of cloud storage everywhere and cloud computing platforms, are there any ready-made email hosting solutions that will use your private cloud for your email system? This would be your own mini-system that is not subject to scanning TOS, etc by google, yahoo, hotmail. Your data would not exist shared with other people's or company's emails it would be completely private.
Well places like shopping malls, though they are privately owned, are deemed pseudo public spaces, because your presence is obvious. He didn't do anything really. Now doing it in a private residence however, this would be illegal. But it was an open-to-the-public store. Extremely creepy yes, but not illegal.
Drop box is legally required to comply with, of all things the law. Generally this is a court order, but laws can force data disclosure. They are only re-iterating that they need to comply with the law, and briefing you on how it will be handled. They even go so far as to tacitly suggest you pre-encrypt everything on you put on dropbox. wink wink.
Al joking aside about "robot girlfriends", an untiring, on-demand machine will become ideal. You only need to fill it with lube occasionally. It'll never object, it'll never come home drunk. It'll never interrupt your xbox time. It'll never reject you because you got fat or wrinkly. It'll make hedonists of today look silly having to deal with another human being and their schedule.
And that will be the end... when we stay home because we prefer a machine. We'll give up on loving our own kind not because it is superior, but just because it is less "work".

Largely incorrect.

I'll bite. Everyone just use Qt. Free, portable, open source. With QML, no C++ is needed.

So the days of manual transmission are limited.

Let's not forget AL Gore is heavily invested in "green" companies and has his own carbon credit company.
