  5. Of course it would warm up on Siberian Permafrost Melting · · Score: 1
    Western Siberia has warmed faster than almost anywhere else on the planet

    Gee, when the area covered by the intense cold of the Siberian High winter pattern gets warmer, it warms more than other places. How about that? When one of the coldest places warms up, it warms faster than warm places do. How insightful.

  6. Re:West to East, or East to West? So easy to forge on MSN Virtual Earth Revealed · · Score: 1
    Let's hope the World's Most Sophisticated, Innovative Software Company can handle a simple Slashdotting.

    It can, as long as all Slashdotters have the Microsoft Assisted Cache Cash-Depletion Enhancement Booster (with proper patches).

  7. Re:Wheel Zooming done differently on MSN Virtual Earth Revealed · · Score: 1

    Wheel doesn't seem to do any zooming for me, it only scrolls. Clicking the wheel produces a URL error message. To zoom in...don't use web's single click standard, use Microsoft's double-click protocol.

  8. Re:Read all about it on Congressman Seeks Scientists' Personal Data · · Score: 1
    What is extraordinary about the paper is the amount of hostile attention directed toward it, mostly from outside science.

    It is extraordinary how little attention has been directed toward the paper considering how much visibility it has had. Why was it not reviewed years ago? Why were errors not found years ago?

    (I posted this earlier, but it seems to not be visible... #13147506)

    Actually, part of the interest by Congress is in results from federally funded studies, so part of the interest is from its own funding.

    There is a summary of MBH98 replication issues available which explains some of the background.

  11. Healty demand on Computer Demand Boosts MS Profits · · Score: 1

    Is it "healthy demand" when people are buying PCs to escape from identical machines which are terminally ill?

  12. Minneapolis on Public Transit Reality Game · · Score: 1

  15. Re:Great styling.... not on Big Screen Viewing Effect For Mobile Phone Videos · · Score: 1
    People have a hard time enough driving and speaking on the cellphone, making a headset that completely covers your eyes is dangerous.

    Some people seem to be driving with their eyes closed anyway. Driving with webcam on picture-in-picture will be worse?

    Damn, it's just so hard to be funny at work on fridays. Sorry.

    What matters is whether you're funnier than the BBC.

    Imagine what this conversation would be like if it included the people who can't even manage to spell "Slashdot". Fortunately, they aren't here.
