Obviously you didn't take the time to read the realclimate.org post. They cite evidence in their refutations, show that most of the claims are taken out of context, and explain certain terms and phrases that can be considered jargon for their community.
In response to the readme file. Yes, the coding is bad. They aren't fudging the data though.
Don't pick your research area based on profitability or popularity. There are always "hot" areas of research but these things are usually cyclic. Pick something interesting that excites you, and that you can spend the next 4 (or 5 or 6 or 7) years working on.
Actually, I'd stay away from most of Card's work. As someone else mentioned, the early ender sequels were very preachy. The Ender's Shadow series is definitely some good stuff (except you may notice some prejudice creep into the most recently released ones). His other books have not-so-subtle Mormon overtones that turn an otherwise decent book into a terrible one.
In order to super-saturate the tea, it must first be mixed at a higher temperature (where the equilibrium concentration of sugar is higher). Cooling it down brings the mixture out of equilibrium, but no precipitation occurs, resulting in a kinetically controlled metastable state (super-saturation). Allowing the tea to warm up won't change the sweetness level.
I don't think anyone should graduate with any sort of degree in "science & technology" without knowing at least basic statistics and calculus. These are fundamental topics and I would be embarrassed of my school(s) if any of my classmates actually graduated without knowing this stuff.
My point was that dislike of both NCLB and this proposal can be consistent. As many others have pointed out, the definition of "scientific" and who determines this definition is ambiguous. It is clearly an attempt by an ID supporter to undermine the teaching of evolution.
These two ideas are not mutually exclusive. NCLB forces the schools to teach how to pass certain tests. This bill would allow them to tell students things that aren't true. They should be given flexibility but not to the point where they can tell students that ID is science.
Just grab a few and you'll be set for the next four years...
Seriously though, this money comes from an NSF grant earmarked specifically for this project. We get these kind of complaints from other departments and especially undergrad editorials in the student newspaper. Unfortunately, the budget from the football team won't be used to renovate the social work buildings.
I know I'm not the only one that feels this way so here goes. Ponca City, we don't love you. While the huge oil refinery you house is nice for the economy, it isn't exactly pleasing to the eyes. To the strip club on the east side of town: I regret visiting you and ending up dancing on stage attempting to win free beer.
Anyways, to sum up my feelings about Ponca City: If my parents hadn't moved there, I would hardly know that you existed and I wouldn't have missed much.
I think this is cool...I really do. It's neat that some Oklahoma students are standing up to this. But under no circumstances do I wish the state's flagship university (University of Oklahoma) to be confused with Oklahoma State University. Not even with regards to wrestling...it just isn't worth it.
They cite a practical application of Swarm Theory as optimizing the business operation of a gas producer. They say this technique was inspired by how ants learn to forage for food, but this technique is a standard (and pretty obvious) solution to numerical optimization. So while the idea is interesting and can definitely be applied to networks of robots, it is a retroactive explanation of something that has already been developed (for marketing purposes, I'm sure).

The first foundation novel was published in 1951

FALSE. All accusations of fraud have been addressed by the scientists in question, as well as outside sources. There is a reason this hasn't been getting much mainstream media coverage. For everyone's information: data was not manipulated, dissenting papers were not suppressed

This puts me at least one year closer to my PhD. Hopefully blizzard will delay another couple years so I can finish.

The idea is that lefties are mousing with their left hands - they have the right hand free to do the typing.

depends on the range upgrades!
It sounds like you just want a certificate that says you can make a webpage.

It boils at 161 K at atmospheric pressure. Increasing the pressure increases the temperature at which the material vaporizes.

power scales with voltage squared. reducing the voltage by .3 reduces the power by .09, which is approximately .1 (1/10)

So this method is interesting, but the resolution of these gratings is only 60nm. Other experimental groups have achieved a resolution as small as 30nm (http://willson.cm.utexas.edu/research/index.php). ..and Intel is already producing chips at 45 (http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/08 /20/1611202/)
