  1. Re:Government needs to be... on Mathematician Predicts Wave of Violence In 2020 · · Score: 1

    Good thing that there is a second amendment, but remember the pre-emptive police and FEMA tactics during Katrina in New Orleans against honest, gun owning households.

    Knock, knock. Hello we're FEMA/police [1/2 minute of polite conversation] "Do you have guns" as if making sure you're adequately prepared for self defense. Dumb, honest homeowner: "Yes"
    CRAAAASH, armed invasion and personal injury follows. No sh|t.

  2. see the light... on Patent and Copyright Wars Gone Wild · · Score: 1

    I am surprised Americans have been unwilling to treat marauding trolls guilty of extortion and home invasion like earlier generations of criminal extortionists and home invaders. You know, like a quick introduction the the trusty old light saber, or, perhaps a 454 Casull ear cleaner.

  3. drone arrests and executions already on Congressman Releases Draft of Legislation On Domestic Drones and Privacy · · Score: 2

    Be afraid. Be very afraid.

  4. this year... on South Korea To Restart Its Oldest Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 0

    This year, they'll "have" to restart to avoid a choice between heat affected lives, including lost, and industry losses. Next year and the year after that they'll have fewer excuses.

  5. Re:Sure it's the Itanic on Judge Rules Oracle Must Continue Porting Software To Itanium · · Score: 1

    Forcing a gigantic customer out by breaching support promises is a good way to get a lawsuit also.

  6. Not dementia on Surfacestations: NOAA Has Overestimated Land Surface Temperature Trends · · Score: 1

    Hal Lewis' brain was working fine in 2010 when he quit APS. CAGW research has contained a lot of slop and fraudulent actions driven by individual ambitions and political agendas. He had had enough with APS sullying itself over the scams, including misrepresentations of distinguished APS members studied positions in committee, and resigned.

  7. Putting the Genie down on NRC Accused of Ignoring Proliferation Risks With SILEX Enrichment · · Score: 1

    Ca 1969-70, Exxon developed laser isotope separation enough to claim over 90% reduction of separation energy expenditure on easily commercializable processes and began preparation for construction of commercial facilities. After the developers made statements about ease, like even in a garage, Exxon was slapped with a weapons proliferation impact statement, a shocking response then. We didn't hear too much about laser isotope separation after that.

  8. Not Discussable = Fear on Surfacestations: NOAA Has Overestimated Land Surface Temperature Trends · · Score: 1

    See Harold Lewis , former chairman of the JASONs during some of its peak years, on academic corruption driven by the "trillion dollar" global warming scam.

  9. apparatchiks & basic lab science concepts... on Surfacestations: NOAA Has Overestimated Land Surface Temperature Trends · · Score: 1

    As far as I know, Watts et al are the first to attempt exhaustively document and analyze the surface temperature data sources' susceptibility to changes from the environs. Even if they are biased in some presumed ways, they have done part of what should have been done 20 years ago by any group of "scientists" rather than politico gamers and scammers.

    Watts et al have driven a stake in the ground about REAL data, no response other than bleating "ur a troll", (supposed) "scientists say/have proven", shows than CAGW "science" politics are no different than Soviet era apparatchiks' argumentation about their inherent superiority in everything, ad nauseum. Nice to see such slimeballs marking down my previous "5" to send me a message - you demonstrate yourselves thugs, too.

    Real scientists generate real data and welcome checks of their data and sources. CAGW "major scientists" too often aren't even "green screeners" fudging old data on primitive simulators (relative to the underlying fundamental equations), they are "green screamers" all too reminiscent of the Soviet era apparatchiks, seeking to establish a new Nomenklatura.

  10. application of basic lab science concepts... on Surfacestations: NOAA Has Overestimated Land Surface Temperature Trends · · Score: -1, Troll

    This work represents a simple concept, a quality audit of instrument sites based on others criteria, and identifying diverse data sources' susceptibility to drift over the decades. Apparently this is more radical to some than Martin Luther's theses posted on the door.

  11. remember Heinlein's assessment? on Political Science Prof Asks: Is Algebra Necessary? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Anyone who cannot cope with mathematics is not fully human. At best he is a tolerable subhuman who has learned to wear shoes, bathe and not make messes in the house."

  12. Dumbed down education and "civilization" on Political Science Prof Asks: Is Algebra Necessary? · · Score: 1

    I can't honestly associate "college level" with having to learn remedial algebra. Secondary or tertiary training for the innumerate should be distinguished from advanced or professional education. We already have a hand waving, bullsht "politically correct" society, ever less capable of effective competition and critical thought at the individual level. This brain fart proposal further promotes and affirms that.

  13. implications of overvaluation on Mark Zuckerberg's Big Facebook Mistake · · Score: 1

    Except Facebook was overvalued. It's not discipline, it's a free gift from a one time raid on the capital marks.

  14. arrest the banksters on Mark Zuckerberg's Big Facebook Mistake · · Score: 1

    As long as they did the lying and misrepresentation.... He got their money with little loss of control. F 'em.

  15. Natural gas is ... mostly (bound) hydrogen on Is There Still a Ray of Hope On Climate Change? · · Score: 1

    Methane, CH4, is as close to a "hydrogen economy" as you can get right now.

  16. coldest summer in.. on Is There Still a Ray of Hope On Climate Change? · · Score: 1

    Many people in Alaska are getting substantial *heating* bills this year. It's cooler in other parts of the world. Just bunch of whiners in the Lower 48 egged, on by the climate partisans and trade exchange fraudsters, near the current solar peak.

  19. boycott on Three-Strikes Copyright Law In NZ Halves Infringement · · Score: 1

    We will shift further away from full paid, new release entertainment even if we have to mine the 20th century in audio and black and white entertainment. We will not subsidize fascism. Turned off the cable TV racket 7-8 years ago.

    It will be interesting to see where the wrath of god strikes after this.

  21. perfectly fine match on Plan to Slow Global Warming By Dumping Iron Sulphate into Oceans · · Score: 1

    We're headed for an anemic solar max, late and low on sunspots. Perfectly in line with the NSO paper.

  22. Re:WTF on Plan to Slow Global Warming By Dumping Iron Sulphate into Oceans · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    How about CAGW is a fascist-statist money and power grab for Al Gore type "science majors" and con job that makes the Piltdown Man swindle look submicroscopic.

  25. Sounds like a terrorist weapon. Temperatures are likely headed lower according to some solar physicists, due to the sun's rapidly declining magnetic field, a precursor of the Little Ice Age.
