  1. Re:CA - took ten minutes to vote on U.S. Election Day In Progress: What's Been Your Experience? · · Score: 1

    Congrats and well done. I had a similar experience in southern California. My polling place was in my building, one floor below me. I went down around 11 AM and was back in my apartment by 11:05 AM. It helped that I had filled my sample ballot out with my researched selections beforehand.

  2. Re:On the myTouch 3g (HTC) Slide on Android Fork Brings Froyo To 12 Smartphones · · Score: 1

    The T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide is known as the HTC Espresso. I've been running CM6 on mine for weeks now using the nightly builds produced by their build-bot. There are a few outstanding issues on the device that may give you pause, however:

    1. Bluetooth audio is nonfunctional for phone calls
    2. Wifi connectivity issues arise in certain circumstances
    3. The "FN" and "CAPS" lights on the hardware keyboard do not light up when their respective buttons are pressed

    Other than that, though, the software is rock solid. I'm even running an overclocked kernel on my Slide, bumping the max processor speed from 600 MHz to 844 MHz without any loss of stability.

    ...although supposedly a movie is in development, slated for a 2012 release. I think a series/mini-series might be a better fit for the subject matter.

    ...to link to Willis Eschenbach's response in the summary. It appears that The Economist didn't even bother to contact Eschenbach before publishing this article by an apparently unnamed author. That isn't exactly what I would consider high-quality journalism.

    Climate-gate.org simply appears to be a repository for the leaked documents. I don't believe they've opined on the subject. That's been left to others.

    Evidence cited by realclimate.org should no longer be considered admissible in this debate. The contributors at that site are not to be trusted. Click the link; read the correspondence of theirs that was leaked. They are not interested in science but rather pushing an agenda.

    It's the content of the correspondence in question that makes the source unreliable. Please click the link and read up on the issue.

    Realclimate.org is an unreliable source considering their correspondence was included among the leaked emails. Just sayin'...

    Very few people dispute that the Earth is in a warming period due to recovery from the Little Ice Age. That's not the issue.

    One issue is that the proxy data was manipulated in such a way that makes current temperatures appear to be warmer than at any other point in historical times. Another issue is that certain proxies, such as the Tiljander series, were used incorrectly. A third issue is that certain treemometers appear to have been cherry-picked over others in order to provide results that were more sought after. I suggest you research the work done by Steve McIntyre at his blog. New content is being added to this mirror.

    Citing realclimate.org doesn't help your cause. Several contributors to that site have been implicated in the leaked emails.

    With regards to the content of your post, the data was most certainly manipulated. Have you not taken the time to discover the coding travesty documented in the HARRY_READ_ME file that was leaked along with the emails? Here are a couple good links to start with.

    That allows people to vote with their feet should they not agree with policy they firmly disagree with.

    Substitute "disapprove of" with "disagree with" in the above. I need to work on my proofreading...

  15. Re:This is crazy on 1Mb Broadband Access Becomes Legal Right In Finland · · Score: 1

    Some folks believe that the Federal government is incapable of properly "reforming" health care / health insurance in this country. I would much prefer that each state attempt to tackle reform on their own, much like Massachusetts has done. That allows people to vote with their feet should they not agree with policy they firmly disagree with.

    Personally, I think a lot of good would come from simply allowing insurance companies to sell policies across state lines and from common sense tort reform.

    The new MacPro supports up to 32 GB of RAM and is the best option for a true pro workstation. I would purchase my monitors, hard drives and additional RAM separately as Apple tends to mark those up significantly. Just configure the high-end model -- dual 3.2Ghz quad-core xeons -- with the minimal specs and install the rest yourself. It's fairly easy to do. Such is my advice to you.
