  1. Re:Who was burning fossil fuels then? on Global Warming 5 Million Years Ago In Antarctic Drastically Raised Sea Levels · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Because there can't be both natural and man-made causes for warming and cooling? Really? That seems arbitrary, especially if it's just the argument from disbelief.

    We've got very good evidence that there are climate cycles, and very good evidence that we should be cooling right now, but we're not. We have very good evidence that we're warming specifically because of our own actions, and that's overwhelming the natural cycles, both in speed of change and intensity.

    If you are comfortable with natural cycles, then the physics of artificial change should not faze you, because the physics behind them is the same. If something can be changed by natural forces, then it can be affected by artificial ones of sufficient scale and intensity. Excluding the latter is simply ignoring evidence.

    I'm not sure if they show as 32 logical cores or just 8 cores with incidentally very good thread and branching management...

    Each thread shows up as a seperate cpu in the system utilities, and can be turned off as required. Thread management is simple, which is why there is little cache involved.

    The sun.com JDS support website says in the FAQ that
    SATA drives are not supported with 2.4.x kernel.
