If there is some way to merge the Sent Folder with the threaded view using a search or some kind of virtual folder, please help us
Simple: when you're finished reading emails, drag them to a new folder. Call it "All_Emails". Then, have all your sent emails stored in All_Emails. Viola! Instant message threads.
Heck, you can even have built-in message filter drop Inbox messages into All_Emails.

AFAICT, it's only GPS, data, and, at least in the US, you probably don't have a legal expectation of privacy of "location", since the cops can tail you the old fashioned way w/o a court order.
children are EXPECTED to live with their parents when they grow old and take care of them?
People with high/. ID numbers aren't anywhere near that stage of their lives.
And if my father needs us to take care of him when we get old, he'd move in with us, not vice versa.
isnt it possible that he could be making his (or her) living through non corporate, freelance means, just like me, who is typing these lines
Even so, you deal with corporations on a regular basis relying (if you live in an industrialized country) on them for all the basic material needs of your life
Some of us have the brains and skills, but choose to spend our time on technical work instead of the managerial overhead required by sole proprietors and partnerships.
I hate corporations. I hate them with every fiber of my being.
And I've got to wonder how you make a living. With such a high ID, though, I've got to wonder if you still live w/ Mom and Dad, or are maybe in that fantasy world known as University.
But the F-4 Phantom was originally a carrier borne fighter-bomber
You can always take the toughest plane and use it in less-demanding situations.
But that doesn't make it even a semi-optimal choice in many situations. Take the F-16, for example: a great and nimble, cheap land-based fighter, which couldn't survive carrier landings.
Note also that the F-15, F-16 & F-18 have a lot of commonality in their weapons and ordinance...
they need to do it with weapons systems across the board.
They do a lot of this already. That's what the Joint in JSTARS, JSF, JDAM, etc, etc means. Then there's the commonality of small arms, payroll systems, M1 tanks run on jet fuel, and so forth.
However, there are lots of reasons why much of their material can not be common: sea-borne, air and ground equipment all have different "sturdiness" requirements, there are different RADAR frequencies for different tasks and that means different antennae, etc.
A good example of why this sometimes can, but usually can't work was that when Robert McNamara was SECDEF. He made all the branches use the same kind of gun and buy the same kind of boots, and that was great. But he also made them build a "Joint Strike Fighter" (the TFX, later named the F-111), which turned out to be way too heavy for carrier operations.
If so, then it's your fault. Nvidia has had a very good binary driver for 5+ years, and 10s (hundreds?) of thousands of people have used it ever since. I'm even using it in the unsupported configuration of 64-bit kernel and 32-bit userland. Google Earth rocks with the binary driver...
If, OTOH, this is some weird ATI card, never mind...
However, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that researchers volunteer to referee papers, which leads to a form of self-selection bias in the formation of the "referee pool".
raising its temperature by.1K is minuscule. Hey, I'll even give you.01K. It's NOISE, I tell you!
You are comparing precisely controlled laboratory conditions with HARRY_READ_ME.TXT's
I am very sorry to report that the rest of the databases seem to be in nearly as poor a state as Australia was. There are hundreds if not thousands of pairs of dummy stations, one with no WMO and one with, usually overlapping and with the same station name and very similar coordinates. I know it could be old and new stations, but why such large overlaps if that's the case? Aarrggghhh! There truly is no end in sight.
"Dirty" data shouldn't be used when 1/30th of a percentage is a Big Deal.
Yup. And "@" is ~50% of US-ASCII, being code 64 out of 127. And that's completely pointless.
But it' completely valid to say that "he spent half a day looking for that sock."
The level of noise has everything to do with the precision of the instruments that you're using to measure your system.
A point which I have not overlooked.
Do you know the precision of ground-based weather stations? Also, I seriously doubt that tree-ring and ice-core data can be accurate down to the tenth of a degree.
These are two very basic Science 101 concepts, and if you're struggling to understand these, I must question your ability to understand something as vastly complicated as climate science.
Faith in people who hide the decline and wish they could subvert the peer-review process?
(No, I don't know of anything better than peer review...)
"Public" Science has been so politicized and over-hyped that if a PhD went on TV and said, "the sky is blue", I wouldn't believe him. Proclamations of impending disaster, accompanied by jet-setting movie-making politicians makes AGW stink even more.
How about you?
The only faith I have is in my wife and children. Otherwise, the evidence has led me to knowing that Science is the best way for mankind to advance knowledge. This link says it all.
That SciAm link itself links to a RC page titled The CRU hack: Context.
One of the points it makes is:
HARRY_read_me.txt. This is a 4 year-long work log of Ian (Harry) Harris who was working to upgrade the... legacy CRU TS 2.1 product... The CSU TS 3.0 is available now... and so presumably the database problems got fixed
Two responses:
Who says the TS 3.0 data isn't as fudged up as the 2.1 data was?
By what basis should we assume that the database problems got fixed? Faith in the people who hid the decline?
The real problem I have with GW is that a 0.1 degree change from 20C is 1/2 of 1%, which is normally considered statistical "noise". Attempts to "cleanse" the data can skew the results.
Have you forgotten the Unix Wars? (Are you old enough to remember the Unix Wars?
The BSD license allowed companies to fracture Unix into a dozen slightly different flavors. That allowed MSFT to swoop in as the cheap, "unified code base" and dominate the industry.
While the GPL seems to encourage forking just as much as does BSD, the "lessons learned" from BSD and the requirement to publish patches actually mitigates against forking.
Besides, which BSDs -- besides OSX -- are actually flourishing?
In 1984, my "PC" was a luggable KayPro with a Z80, 64KB RAM and two 380KB floppy drives. Even if I'd have had a dual-core 2GHz CPU, 8GB RAM and 3TB disk space (which is what I have now), there isn't anything I could have used it for, since WordStar, TurboPascal and BBS s/w ran great on that KayPro.
Even now, I don't stress my h/w, and only got that much because it's dirt cheap...
More seriously, here's a couple of things I do at home: - Streaming HDTV to several TVs in the house
I do that too, from the cable company, and the DVR is smaller, cheaper and (most importantly) better integrated than any HTPC I could ever build.
- Hosting websites at home
You're one of a few. Anyway, home servers are against TOS here. Conspiracy theorists say that it's to save bandwidth, but I *know* that there'd be even more spam, malware and botnets if everyone and his brother could run SMTP and HTTP servers.

Of course you didn't...

My 8800 GTX has not had working 3D graphics

Would it actually melt? Or stay frozen?

I do understand them, and should have taken into account temperatures below "zero". My other reply in this thread points out out that using Kelvin makes things even worse.
Therefore it makes no sense *whatsoever* to talk of a percentage of a temperature in those scales
Well, umm, ok. But that makes my argument even stronger, since a 0.1 change from 295K is a miniscule 0.03%. Statisticians call that noise.
any more than it make sense to speak of a percentage of the time of day.
Ummm, 12PM is 50% of the day. 6PM is 75% of the day.
you deniers
I don't deny. However, I've become very jaded by 30 years of over-hyped "science" by Experts With PhDs which then turn out to be wrong.
Yeah, that's so *nothing*. Hardly noticeable!
And a +85K change means a 127,500 m horizontal loss. OMG!! The sky is falling!!!
I have more faith in reviewed articles
Faith in people who hide the decline and wish they could subvert the peer-review process?
