We could always reverse-engineer it from the data and results, the way the original error was found. So, anyways, this data was erroneously referred to as climatological data. Temperature data points, without info on how collectd or computed, is not climatological data. It is useless, meaningless temperature points. Climatological data would have included air pressure, humidity, etc, and the assumptions used to assemble it. What we have, instead, is garbage.
what are the chances that the NASA guy was using the industry standard software, the same as all the other global warming scientists in the world? That would mean that all the world computations would have to be redone, not just his (USA). Maybe someone should check the rest of the math, anyways? ANd no, even if they all were using the same software with the same y2k bug, that would not automatically mean that the world is not warming. The error shift in direction is actually data dependent. We would have to wait for the computation redo.
Actually, a lot of ice is on top of dirt, not water, and so when it melts, it gets added to the ocean, raising the water levels. Glaciers on mountains are an obvious example. The south pole is a land mass, as is much of the northern area which is covered by ice. just because some ice is on top of water does not mean that all ice is floating. So, no, it is not clear to me what the water level will actually do.
Remember the guy in the add whose top half walked perfectly normal and his bottom half was all over the place? Boy, would he mess up that system. Anyone know where that clip is? thanks
I have been looking for a job lately, and have posted resumes to most of the big corps. They all require word docs. Only a very feww said they would take rtf, and some of those actually rejected rtf. The reason they all want word docs? Their system automatically pulls all info from the word doc, to populate an online resume. Their auto resume software can only handle word docs. I have seen only a very few who ask for pdf. Since they are populating an online resume, they could care less how your resume appears. Question - what are good page layout programs? How does OO do at this?
Terrorists are not interested in whether or not we are weak or strong. That just is not on their screens. They are only interested in whether we are the great Satan, and they already know we are. So they attack. Only intelligent generals and politicians, like the old "Soviet Union", were interested in the kind of stuff Sun Tzu wrote about. "The Art of War" applies to armies and war, and terrorism applies to guerilla terrorists, the exact opposite of armies and war.
Yes, no firewalls = free speech. It also allows perverts, criminals, scamm artists, 411, etc. I am quite sure that you will find many things to complain about for any method the gov tries to limit the child abusers and criminals. But do you have any ideas that would combat crime? No, you just naysaym shoot your mouth off, hold back progress. Shut the f*ck up, As*hole
LSI, http://www.lsi.com/, is so easy to find you do not even have to google to find it. duh. Oh, sorry, I was assuming the availability of common sense, and this is slashdot. LSI logic makes the controller chips and adapter cards (HBAs, RAID controllers) which do your hard drive, especially in raid arrays. Have been for years. bigish company has been around for 25 years.
No, No, NO. You just do not understand. It is not that the programmer did not know that it was an old idea. It was that the old idea never got written up in Hindi, so he was clueless. Where do you think LSI drivers, (and everyone elses) get written these days?
We have misinformed votes, not uninformed votes. Lies from the government, the media, the advertisers, the special interest groups, big business, the military-industrial complex, pacs, NOW, pro-*, anti-*, religious groups, anti-religious groups, pro-race groups, racist groups, nationalist groups, immigrant groups, liberals, conservatives, the ACLU types, wackos... The list goes on forever. The web empowers these liars and extremists to a far greater extent than ever before. So the voters are far more misinformed than ever before. They re-elected Bush, didn't they (I am a conservative, and voted for him, so I was one of the misinformed, and I am sure I am still misinformed). That far safer, uninformed vote is only possible from a person who is so out of contact with the "modern" world that he has no clue where, or even when, to vote. (lucky guy)
So Intel is paying Second Life almost nothing to own property in it, and making megabucks off it. I don't see how that is news. I can see how "Ooo, Guerilla marketing! Second Life!" would get some marketing fag's panties all wet, but I do not like advertising, or fags, so what the hell is that sh!t doing on/.? This blurb is not news - there is nothing new game-wise, and you certainly cannot "play" the Intel site in Second Life. There are no new products announced here, just what has been already announced. This is advertisers ralking about advertisers, the same as tv talking about tv, and news shows talking about news shows - a complete waste of time. I certainly have a lot better ways to spend my time than on this BS. We need a new section on/. for these articles - the craaaaap section. Don't we have enough of an attention deficit problem without throwing this stuff up?
CO2 has increased appears to be a true statement, although the reports did not ndicate range of accuracy of measurements. But that does not mean that the whole change or even most of it, is caused by humans. The earth's CO2 levels are, to some extent, self-regulating. CO2 variation over the last billion years has been correlated with Ice ages, and has risen to ten times the current level prior to the biggest ice age. Obviously, that had nothing to do with humans. So saying humans caused the rise in CO2 is just shooting your mouth off. Close it. We do not need any more lies. Politicians are paid to lie. You are not.
We are talking about many thousands of tons of radioactive waste here. Launching it into space would be extremely expensive. I have a much less expensive, and low risk way of disposing of all the waste, which involves shortening the half-life. We have many holes in the ground where nuclear tests have been done. These holes are round, with glassified walls. Fill one up with sand and layers of radioactive waste, up to near the point of meltdown. Put a neutron bomb in it, and finish filling the hole with waste and sand, and seal it in the standard bomb test method. Set off the bomb in the middle of the hole. The gov is happy, they get to test a bomb. All the neutrons from the bomb blast make sure that the waste travels immediately down the path we were going to wait thousands of years for it to do the slow way. We get a round hole with glassified walls, which are radioactive. But wait, that is what we started out with. No problem here. Nothing to see. No danger. Glass does not break down and release the bad stuff that is left after the blast. These holes are in bomb test sites in Nevada and other states which have already signed off for those sites to be used for bomb tests, so no new paperwork needed. Just do it.
A 10 w cpu is not a hardly noticable improvement over a 95 wat proc in a laptop. It translates into much longer battery life with a smaller battery, ie, a lighter laptop. A lighter laptop is much easier to carry around, and even small improvements in laptop weight are very noticable. Yes, most cpus run at a lower wattage, when they are clock throttling. But if their continuous full clock power were 10 W... Especially if the laptop turns into a pda / cell phone / blackberry. There is tons of room for improvement in these directions, not to mention all the other directions available but not yet made, like complete voice control, the ability to talk to the computer and let it do the writing (dictation),... Get real. Anyone who says the cpu industry is about to implode is an idiot. Just like the one who said 640k is all anyone will ever need (Bill Gates?) or the one who said everything has been invented, let's shut down the patent office (in ~1900)
the cpu implode statement is just a troll, and a fairly stupid one, at that. From a clueless idiot.
Yes, I am a computer designer - engineer, and I work at Dell.
Please point out to me a not poorly conceived slashvertisement. I want to see this rare bird. If it isn't extinct, it is because it never happened. heh heh
ext3 is limited, unless it has LFS (Large File System) support in it. Then, if you have 8k block size, you support much larger than the claimed 8 TB total, 4 Tb files. See http://www.suse.de/~aj/linux_lfs.html for the table at the end of the article, although I believe the table has errors (swaps). Then you also have to have 2.6 kernel, and CONFIG_LBD set.
I know this is a stupid question, but I am curious... Are you referring to someone like commander Taco or whatever as an editor? HAH HAHHAH HAH HAH HAHHAH CHOKE CHOKE GASP...
Daryl already won that contest. Just give him a few seconds to clean that white powder off his nose, and he will explain what the prize was. Oops, I just gave it away...

they are working on removing the oceans, just give them a little more time.
