Don't EVER ask why they assume that CO2, a gas that is soluble in water to a great extent, cannot diffuse out of air bubbles in ice that have been trapped for millenia. It is the measurement of CO2 in those bubbles that global warming scientists use to tell us what the level of CO2 was ten thousand years ago -- even though there is no recorded measurement from then, and only the proxy of "trapped bubbles" to rely on.
Well, maybe because they don't see how only one gas out of the air would diffuse out of those bubbles? But I'm sure you can tell them how this happens.
I think it goes back to the showing the DDT is a harmful chemical... So we had to stop using the chemical
It's too bad that DDT helped to eradicate Malaria in places where it was used. DDT Needed to Control Malaria Perhaps the answer wasn't to eliminate its use but to manage it to limit the harm it could do. Certain countries in the world could use some mosquito control.
In many places where DDT was used, Malaria or other such diseases were never a problem (they may become one with climate change)
For most such cases, BTI probably works better anyway - and isn't harmful to other lifeforms to boot
(Limited) use of DDT is still legal for vector control in most countries.
How it would hurt Wikipedia is also beyond you, yet you're a deletionist anyways. Maybe you're just an asshole.
Maybe because "assholes" find it easier to maintain one article instead of a couple of hundreds for every Pokemon, every Digitation, every Yu-Gi-Oh Card. How many vandalisms did you fix on those Pokemon pages? More importantly: how many did you miss fixing?
You sure are right - the fact that there was a Wikipedia article for every fucking Pokemon would have told future researchers a lot about the Pokemon phenomenon and its fans - why this would improve Wikipedia is still lost on me.
I've built the perl binary with pp on HP UX 11.23 & while running the same on another test machine, the build fails with the following error:

Add to that the problems with RedHat Linux mentioned in TFA, you don't need Perl for pattern matching.
I disagree that this is a valid reason for deleting a part of human knowledge and history. Or do you mean that having 37,142 currently connected players at the time writing is not notable?
Yes, it isn't notable. Period. And hoping it could become notable by spamming Wikipedia won't help either.
There IS, and there was. The original wikipedia concept was simple: let people edit EQUALLY, and if someone edits badly, it can be undone using the article's history.
This is now being abused, by people who act as self-appointed** guards rather than equals.
** self meaning them as individuals, or the wikipedia nazis as a collective.
You are right, this abuse is much worse than the abuse by various vandals !
Even worse is deleting articles on some subjects. Example is OpenTibia Server which is an MMO with minimum of 1000 servers with a minimum total of 15,000 players at any particular moment. Citation here. Now the funny thing is...
article got deleted for notability reasons, among other things:)
Easy - Google proves nobody but the users talk about it, thus it is not notable.
I'm a simple-minded person. So correct me if I am misunderstanding this situation:
Apple makes a little plastic box with an LCD screen, a battery, and a circuit board and sells it to people in retail stores. And they claim that there is some kind of law that prohibits anyone who buys this little plastic box from opening it, determining how it works, and telling other people how to make it work better.
Yes you are misunderstanding - the EFF acknowledges that there such a law by requesting an exemption from this law for doing what you just described.
I hold the EFF and all who support it responsible - without them Apple wouldn't have to pay lawyers answering the Copyright Office about the exemption the EFF proposed. And I'm thinking about holding them personally responsible - you will here from my lawyers for making Apple products about 0.01 cent costlier across all units sold 2009.

So you supposed comparing current AMSR-E data with past AMSR-E data that doesn't exist would be the way to go?
The only doom sayers in this debate are the ones predicting the collapse of civilization if we even start reducing the increase of CO2 production.

A switchable battery isn't bigger, heavier or last less.
Exactly, it's smaller, lighter and holds a smaller charge.
A total of sixteen screws. To change the battery. And that's "easy"?
Sure, it's not as easy as claiming "The battery is not removeable".
isn't it possible to run a MBP off the power socket in the seat?
Yes, but only if you pay extra for a seat with a power socket at the correct voltage.
Yeah, you could be in big trouble if they put you on a 390V socket.

Perhaps it gets old but it is none the less true.

5000 edits in about a year (nearly 500 in the last month)? Seriously? How in any way could that article be taken seriously.
So you think something with lots of edits by anonymous users can't be taken seriously - and that coming from an AC.
I disagree that this is a valid reason for deleting a part of human knowledge and history. Or do you mean that having 37,142 currently connected players at the time writing is not notable?

PS: In Werder, Brandenburg, Germany, clearly further north than London, wine has been grown even during the Little Ice Age.
During the MWP wine grapes were grown in Europe as far north as southern Britain
And today wine grapes are grown as far north as southern Sweden - more proof that it is warmer today than during the MWP.
Gah, not the rapture. My wife wants the stupid bathroom to be finished remodeling before anyone else makes alterations...
Geesh... To hear her whine and complain about how long I've taken - I can just hear it now, "You waited so long the rapture occurred... "
Just make sure she leads a good, Christian life (and you don't) - and you will never hear that from her.
Run silent - Run deep.
- Run into each other.
Okay, so what is your point? Did you even have one?

You mean like the actual fucking person the article is about? Oh wait, Wikipedia doesn't consider the actual fucking person to be a "primary source"!
And therein lies Wikipedia's problem.
Yeah, because we all need articles that say things like:
George Walker Bush is the greatest president ever <ref name=Dubya>The man himself</ref>.
Ultimately nothing and nobody is a really trustworthy source - Fox Mulder was right: "Trust No One".
