  1. Re:C is for Catastrophic on Finland Set To Become First Country To Ban Coal Use For Energy (newscientist.com) · · Score: 1

    The AGW part is convincing enough, it's all the catastrophic part that doesn't make sense to me. First time I saw CAGW, had to look it up.

    Something lubricates at -20 degrees. They can use that. Problem solved.

  3. Re:Global warming isn't occurring on Finland Set To Become First Country To Ban Coal Use For Energy (newscientist.com) · · Score: 1

    All more snowfall means is that on more days that it is below 32 degrees at the right altitude there is H2O.

  4. I haven't seen any evidence that data is being manipulated to show global warming where none exists.

    Forget what the other guy asked for. Tell me a story. A story that beats: Man burn things that release gases that trap heat from radiating off the planet like greenhouse panels do. That's all I ask for!

  6. Re:How is it possible that this is not done as a m on Clinton Urged To Challenge Election Results Due To Possible Hacking [Update] (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Take a good look at the world we live in and then consider that question again. There are lots of things that go undone that it would be better done and vice-versa.

  7. Re:I feel sorry for you guys. No joke. on Trump Names Two Opponents of Net Neutrality To Oversee FCC Transition Team (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    I plan to take advantage of the power vacuums I feel will inevitably appear.

  8. Or you could just build it in. on Ask Slashdot: Could A 'Smart Firewall' Protect IoT Devices? · · Score: 1

    I don't have an "ISP router". I have a customer owned cable modem hooked up to a customer owned router. The desired functionality could be built into either device and both devices could be in the same device, but I find it more effective for diagnostic and replacing for them to be separate.

  9. Re: Figuring out what to do on Why Automation Won't Displace Human Workers (diginomica.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, the AI will have that covered. I intend to help them, to the extent they actually need it.

    Oh, but they will, program themselves or get their instructions from other AI. All of the AI collectively can form a pretty closed circuit.

    It looked like you were responding to thundercatt's post. Stupid Slashdot page formatting.

    You didn't understand his post apparently. He's saying that the job posting will request the impossible 10 years experience when the field itself has only been around for 2.

    Decisions made by the flight controls? What?

    http://nn.cs.utexas.edu/downlo... is a useful paper on the subject of intelligence from the orientation of artificial intelligence. They don't have One true good AI in the sense of one AI that is always good at anything, but that is more of a data problem than understanding intelligence problem.

  17. Re:Lab experiment on Commercial-Mining Drones Keep Getting Attacked By Eagles (abc.net.au) · · Score: 1

    But which elements of the drone and the drone sounds are most annoying to the eagle and what can we do to make it less so? We have to do some research to figure out the best answers to those questions.

  18. Re:K2 on Feeding Seaweed To Cows Eliminates Methane Emissions (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What's the vitamin K2 or precursors of the seaweed in question? What's the typical route for materials in cow food to K2 in cows?

    Given he isn't experiencing this problem with anything other than the car, it's likely the car, though he might not have any other devices.

    That sounds an awful lot like telling him he might as well stick his head in the sand.

    Capture an eagle and put it in an MRI or something and expose it to drone stimuli to see what's upsetting the eagle.
