    How many times have I heard it's weather not climate applied to the U.S. Regional numbers ?

    Anyway, It's kind of amazing that 100% of the reported warming in the U.S. comes from adjustments to the raw data

    Whats more those adjustments perfectly correlate to the increase in CO2 levels

    . All of these feature components that can take hundreds of years to biodegrade, and falling onto the ground in such great numbers means that finding and cleaning them up is no small task.

    If you are on a training range and the rounds aren't overwhelmingly landing into a small well defined area, it's a far bigger problem than non biodegradable ammo.

  4. What it doesn't say is none of this

    , IBM were not answering the calls at night so the spooks were called in to see if that site hired by the government was being hacked. The spooks found a bit of traffic from China (the system administrators at work on other virtual machines on the same host - discount plan remember) and a continuous stream of data going to the USA (performance logging). GeoIP blocking was put in place which locked the sysadmins out, the thing fell over completely under the load and the final consequence was the site being down for well over a week. Officials went on TV saying it was hacked by Chinese and US hackers but that was bullshit, they had just fucked up and didn't put a system in place that could cope with the load.

    What it does say is the Signals directorate looked into it thought it was one thing, then said it was another.

    So who is it you're out to smear here ? The signals directorate, IBM, or both ?

    That would only hold if it was just on this story. So what is your excuse for following me around on the other story then?
    Is your life truly that empty and pathetic?

    What other story ? you blithering idiot ?

  8. If you had read the post I replied to before posting you wouldn't have written something that sounds so idiotic.
    What I wrote obviously had nothing at all to do with "a government run university paid for with tax dollars and guaranteed loans exporting jobs" but only to do with the post I replied to.

    Oh so you just decided to attack libertarians to be off topic ?

  9. So I was wrong about the wrestling,

    the AC said Rumsfeld was better than all of us here academically.

    vs

    Fuck - a United States where people who push shit like that are running the place. It makes Rumsfeld look like an intellectual in comparison.
    Maybe it's time to start learning Mandarin..

    Yeah he's the guy who brought Rumsfeld up and didn't know what he was talking about not you.

  10. Why the fuck are you posting irrelevant shit on all my recent posts on different topics?

    the spooks found a bit of traffic from China

    Shit you're posting tinfoil hat crap without anything to back it and you call the question irrelevant.

    Don't try to pull that crap. You post a load of b.s. in a thread expect to be called on it.

    WTF is your problem and why are you following me around? Just take your meds and leave me alone.

    Following you around ? Dude you have a bunch of shitposts in this thread. If you don't want people noticing it, don't do it.

  13. Indeed - the "libertarian" mindset of "I've got mine - fuck you" is strong here.
    Maybe I'd be one of those fucked up people too if I didn't work in manufacturing before IT.

    You have to come back chief to explain how a government run university paid for with tax dollars and guaranteed loans exporting jobs has anything to do with libertarians ? Or is just more of you making things up ?

    I do have to thank you I thought this thread wasn't going to be interesting but fisking is always enjoyable.

    This may get to be a game

    That's typically the bullshit excuse used to implement a fad read about in Forbes and outsource to a bunch feeding off that fad.
    If it really is the case that the management thinks the current team is too set in its ways then either whoever leads or manages the team is given instructions to change or is replaced by someone who will implement changes.
    A radical move just because "one too many administrator is pissed off" is a sign of poor management and that administrator is doomed to be very frequently pissed off.

    Yes because following fads is good management but reacting to pissed off users is bad management ? How do you write shite like that, it doesn't even have internal consistency. Let alone demonstrate any knowledge of the actual circumstance.

    BTW weren't you claiming to work for an Australian Coal mine awhile back ? Or is that only in threads about renewable energy ?

  16. giving illegal immigrants drivers licenses and the ability to vote

    Just like the old days when your grandpa came over, only he wouldn't have been called illegal unless he was Chinese.
    California can't stop them and the Feds are not even trying so why not accept reality instead of fucking about. Those cut-price illegal workers the Republicans love to have babysitting their kids need to drive to do their below minimum wage work so they are allowed licences no matter who is Governor of the state. Decades of government constipation on the issue has just resulted in millions of quasi-citizens who have neither been turned back or made citizens. It's been going on for so long that they are citizens in all but name, plus California used to be part of Mexico FFS so what the fuck is the problem?

    It's really amazing just how much talking out your ass in this thread are you going to do ? First I see you making crap up about a fmr sec def's academics now I just see you pulling crap out of your ass completely. But lets look at it, if you came here in the 1800s and were Irish you got your citizenship more likely than not by fighting in the Civil War. If you came here in the early 20th century you had to go through naturalization.

    In either case you didn't get welfare benefits or the right to vote without actually becoming a citizen.

    So as I read down am I going to find more of you pulling shit out your ass ?
