  1. Quantum Slashdot Effect on Google on Modern Day Search Engine Manipulations · · Score: 0

    One of the Google ranking algorithms is based on how many people click on each offered link. By slashdotting a demo that discusses the 7th returned link on "mantids," enough people may click on the link to change its position. You can't interact with Google without changing it!

  2. Re:Small Statistical Sample on Study: Jet Exhaust Affects Weather · · Score: 1

    The contrail study isn't about climate, although it has obvious importance to climate studies. It is about the short-term energy balance.

    To use your logic, a person who is fourty years old and has made over a million dollars in their life would not experience any undue financial effects from refusing to pay a few bills, or going on a credit-card spending spree of a few thousand dollars. After all, today is only 1/14600th of their life to date and shouldn't be that important, and a thousand dollars is only .001 of the history of their income.

    Your arguments are irrelevant to the research being discussed. Try again.

  3. Re:Four days? on Study: Jet Exhaust Affects Weather · · Score: 0

    Walk around outside on a hot day. When a cloud passes overhead and suddenly casts a shadow, how long does it take to feel a cooling effect? Take a thinner cloud, but multiply the shadow area by millions of square miles, and four days is plenty to see an effect that has a high degree of certainty.

    It only took 50 years to convince the public that smoking causes cancer. The debate on global warming is likely to continue until Miami is under water.
