show us actual evidence. Like for instance the 2014 NASA study of Antarctic ice sheet extent which shows it GAINING mass by 120 billion tonnes a year.::Mike drop::
In the Christmas of 2013 an Australian climate change expedition came unstuck when their research ship was trapped in ice they had not been expecting because they believed so faithfully in “global warming”.
Who was it said, in the 1980s, that the polar ice caps would be gone by 2003?
It's 2016, they're still there.
In November last year NASA published a study - and as quickly took it down, but not before the world's press got a peek - that proved that the AGW scam is precisely that. It showed that the Antarctic ice sheet is not only not receding, it is GROWING. Those big chunks that are calving off? They're not calving off because they're melting, they're calving off because the only thing that's holding them up is seawater, and most of the Antarctic permafrost sits on top of a land mass. And we know it is accurate because it uses altimetry data from satellites to gauge changes in the size of the Antarctic land mass.
What this shows is that between 1992 and 2001 the ice sheet gained 112billion tons of ice per year. This rate slowed between 2003 and 2008 but still the ice sheet was gaining 82billion tons a year.
But hey, don't let facts get in the way of a good carbon tax con we have going here, right? Tell you what, we'll ignore all climate data prior to 1976 (because that's when we started getting reliable satellite data), we'll ignore all winter data (because we're not out to show the ice sheets growing when it gets cold because cold doesn't exist in a global warming - I mean, anthropological climate change - world) and we'll ignore what the Japanese are doing to the predatory whale populations which in turn is affecting the penguin population. That and overfishing. Yes, there are more penguins but they're looking a bit skinny.
Yep, back to the pre-satellite-data models drawn up on napkins which if true or accurate would mean that my house in the middle of England is now beachfront property. I can't see the beach. It's 70 miles away. It was 70 miles away in 1980, it'll be 70 miles away in 2052.
Who are the real deniers here: those who look at the hard evidence or those who want to go on scaremongering regardless of what the data shows?
And now for the mike drop:
Drop an ice cube into a glass of water and note the meniscus height. Wait for the ice to melt and not the meniscus height again.
I guarantee you that the meniscus height will not change, because ice is less dense than water. By 12%, in fact. This is why the top eighth of an iceberg protrudes from the surface of the ocean. If the Arctic ice sheet melted completely, the sea level would not change. Other things are causing sea level rise, such as topsoil erosion, pyroclastic flows, earthquakes, and the continual change in datum caused by the fact that we don't measure sea level height form the centre of the Earth, we measure it from land masses which we INCORRECTLY assume to be static.
outdoor range on a specification omnidirectional wifi antenna at 54Mbps is 600m (source: Belkin).
802.3 GigE has a run length of 100m. Cheapnet over coax (AKA 10Base2) has a run length of 185m (source: FODC).
Extending the range on wifi is as simple as using a more elaborate antenna (eg dipole, waveguide, or mesh groundplane). Extending the range on wired ethernet is as simple as running through powered repeater hardware (eg hubs or switches).
according to the sales pitch, Lightcrimp Plus uses no epoxy and no polish (suggesting that the cut is so clean it doesn't need it). The terminal connectors are custom for the system as well.
(I've made my own Toslink connectors for audio gear, using a highly polished ceramic knife to cut the fibre rather than a metal edge for the simple reason that I'm an impatient bastard who doesn't have a day to wait for epoxy to cure. I'm guessing the Lightcrimp gear is similar)
Grave Of The Fireflies, Arietty, Laputa, Nausicaa, Princess Mononoke and Tales From Earthsea aren't "gay" or "fap crap", they are actually astoundingly great movies.
Hedy LaMarr (yes) developed spread spectrum frequency hopping for submarine torpedo guidance systems that couldn't be intercepted by the enemy who would then have been able to throw the torpedoes off course. She patented it in 1942. The US Navy started deploying her system in the 1960s during the Cuban missile crisis.
The same technology gives us WiFi, CTCSS/DCSS, FTTC, n-plexing NFM and WFM radio, CDMA, Bluetooth...
Welcome to my world. It is seriously pissing me off having to write through the analogue hole for my audio masters because fucking Sony decided it no longer needed to even try and leave Sonicstage users with a fucking functional USB driver!
OK, everything I'm about to post is fact checked and information is in the public domain:
So this year, you poor bastards over the pond have a difficult choice to make: are you going to elect a liar, or a conman, into the most powerful puppet seat in the World? Here’s a short analysis of the two front runners this time round, taken by turn:
Trump: inherited his money, he didn't make it. Clinton: lied about Benghazi. Trump: has no product. Clinton: lied about lying. Trump: has no property. He doesn't own any of the "Trump Towers". Clinton: lied about where Chelsea was on 9/11. Trump: has threatened to sue someone for $5bn after being called out on his inability to make good on a $5bn investment. Never followed through on either. Clinton: lied about her namesake, whom she claimed to be named after... notwithstanding the fact that she was 6 when Sir Edmund climbed Everest, having not done ANYTHING of note beforehand, so either her parents were extremely negligent and she spent her first two years at elementary school being called "hey you" or she was lying. Trump: founded a university that consistently ranks ROCK BOTTOM of any university in the world for quality of courses and average grade. Clinton: lied about her trip to Bosnia, during which, she said, she landed under sniper fire. The fact is she landed at an international airport surrounded by armed guards and TELEVISION CAMERAS and accompanied by her daughter (after all, who wouldn't want to take their kids on a road trip to an active war zone, right?) and met the American ambassador on the tarmac. Trump: bemoans illegal immigrants yet knowingly attached his name to a building built by 200 Polish illegal immigrants. Clinton: lied about her family's finances when they left the White House, saying they were dead broke. Sure, $12million is dead broke. Trump: says he's self-funding his own campaign to the tune of $17million. OK, that's fine if you don't count the $7million LOAN he made to his campaign fund (no actual money, he thinks he's a bank, it's just a book entry on the campaign accounts), or the $12.5million in DONATIONS. Clinton: says she's "just like you". OK. I'll buy that. Sure. I sent my kids to private school as well. And charge $200k for speaking engagements. And have a private jet. Trump: claims Ted Cruz has a double passport. There's no such thing as a double passport. Clinton: claimed she didn't use her private email server to store classified documents. THE FACTS do not reflect her claims, in fact they show that she not only stored said classified documents, she transmittted them then had her server wiped on the assumption that this would eradicate the evidence.
I still write for dialup because I want page loads to take 0.01s, not the what 15 SECONDS that Facebook takes on 200Meg wired fucking BROADBAND? It seriously takes the piss, and I'm still trying to figure out what takes fucking Wikipedia so long to load when I run a WM instance on a dual core netbook and with 380GB of content it's still INSTANT.
Hey, Spartacus, put your name to this post, it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! Fuck scripting, just write the motherfucking content! I've only been saying that for the past twenty fucking YEARS!
it's now in the "legacy" pile. I know this because I recently had to reinstall the driver for my other laptop and had to go to the legacy pile for the catalyst driver, as the new package ("Crimson") didn't work. I sort of half expected this anyway, since Catalyst is over decade old now. What, did you seriously expect AMD to support Catalyst forever??

civilisation doesn't rely on London or New York, in fact it would probably get on better without the .001% sticking their oars in every five seconds.

furthest I ever got on wifi was 12.2 miles using COTS PCMCIA Linksys a/b/g cards and homebuilt ultra-narrow beam waveguides on portable towers.

nope. I beat you by a whole minute.
amirite?
my laptop uses 36 Watts at full tilt, 17 at idle. And that's with an external hard drive plugged in.
anyone else?
I was parroting the parent.
what, because I don't agree with you?
How about a rebuttal intead of namecalling?
I never said that. I said it's not vital.

I'm not reading beyond TFS, what the fuck has gender inequality got to do with climate dynamics?
