"The government officials in Australia responsible for the great barrier reef said last week, the end of reefs on the planet is in sight."
There's no data to support this.
They said this about the crown of thorns starfish (Acanthaster plancii) in the 60s too. In theory by 2000, there'd be nothing left of the great barrier reef. They were obviously wrong about that too.
Coral hasn't survived since the beginning of life on this planet (it was one of the very first multicell animals) by being delicate and has survived 7000ppm CO2, heat, glaciation, meteor strike and all the extinction events. Give nature some credit.
"It hasn't. We're warming faster than ever before, and we can actually now say that with a fair statistical significance."
Maybe not. If the Scandinavian tree ring proxy data holds up, that is it's validated by other observations of the same thing then this is what that hockey stick graph looks like superimposed on it with axes normalized. Well beyond the freak out point of Mann's hockey stick graph is the range Roman soldiers had to put up with and CRU's assertion that "it's hotter in the last half of the twentieth century than at any time in the last 1000 years" is false.
That's different. In all those examples the old one went away. That isn't the case here, the V6 network is a separate network from the V4 network and the V4 core network is never going away - some things will never work with V6 and people need to use those tools.
"Even crappy home equipment supports IPv6 a lot more often than you might expect."
Old crappy software, still in use doesn't. And there won't be new versions.
It's not like V4 is ever going away, and de facto, there will always be programs that only run on the V4 network, the parallel and completely independent V6 network may as well not exist as far as they're concened.
At 20 years in I frankly don't have much hope that 20 years from now V6 traffic will have even doubled since now.
"Good scientists would be aware when some nutcase in the energy industry is firing billion dollar bullets at them, and good scientist will fight back."
Do you mean the pro AGW nuclear industry or the anti AGW oil industry? They both have massive vested interests in the outcome.
"We depend on a working ecosystem to perform vital tasks from cleaning air and water"
That's right, and if you want to accelerate that, add CO2. Ask anbody that actually knows about this stuff.
This guy says in a recent paper, if we don't make more CO2 we won't be able to feed the planet soon. And given they left the parts where accelerated plant growth has a cooling effect in their model, there's some speculation we haven't arrived exactly at the truth yet and calling it settled science is vastly premature.
Not a bad "expert analysis" and it does indeed shed some light, save for one part: "As mentioned previously, POP deletes email on the server usually after it is downloaded. Modern POP clients do have an option to save the email on the server for some number of days, but Eudora Light 3.0.3 did not."
Lemme check. Uh, yeah it does have an option to leave mail on the server. Not for any number of days, it's either "delete after download" or "leave mail on server". Check for yourself.
You have it backwards. It's not that there's CO2, it's that we're killing all the things that eat co2. Go into google maps right now and look at Borneo. 3rd largest island in the world, 95% unexplored, and look what's there now instead of the trees. Where'd the trees in Europe go? How many old growth forests are there left?

Ectually, flourine molecules have a strategic role in their place in some psych meds. All it takes is one schizophrenic to find this out and overnight there's tens of thousands of anti-flouride crusaders on facebook.
If you have no A/C and a two bedroom house, put fans blowing OUT in every upstairs window; block the rest of the window with newspaper or tinfoil ad duct tape. Close all the downstairs windows. If you have a furnace fan in the basement, turn it on. This works.
Animals know if you're hot, get wet. Put a wet cloth on your head, it'll dry quickly, keep wetting it. You can work ourside at noon on the hottest day by doing this.
If you're in an apartment you can get a bit of a gain from A/C by turning on the bathroom and kitchen ventilation fans. Getting rid of hot air is as important as cooling the rest of the air.
I live 2000 feet from Lake Ontario, seven feet above it.
I'd feel more confident about these predictions when at least two of them are the same.
So the "twenty feet by 2100" thing is gone now then is it Mr. Gore, cause, gosh, that sure sold a lot of movies books and carbon taxes.
And what would the sea rise be without man? Of are we supposed to believe the sea stays exactly the same forever?
Well, we only have 88 years to deal with a foot rise in water. Damn, that's devastating, we'd better get right to work.
Somebody ought to put this in perspective and figure out the human cost of this then compare it to the human cost in natural disasters by the end of the century.
It also should, you'd think, occur to somebody in a position of authority in the US that fighting natural disasters in the homeland is perhaps money better spent that having those boys occupy 153 countries with 186 bases with various occupying forces around the world.
"Read up a little on the science of Hard Disc Drives - heads usually rode on air, just above the platter surface. Same effect could be employed here."
They're sealed though, and you can only open them up in a clean room. Guess what happens if a hair gets between the heads and the platter? You get this cool tinkle tinkle noise, but not for long and the it stops working.
Air bearings aren't new by any stretch. If computers had filtered air (not that hard, you can buy filters off flea bay that replace a drive bay panel) and the the computer is never moved or hit then maybe. But with computers sucking cat hairs, let alone 2 foot log human hair... well, I dunno.
Put 100 of them in the worst places imaginable and compare the death rates to conventional fans. Then we'll see if practice is different from theory.

Both can be true, they're not mutually exclusive.
FOI systems have to be designed to handle this; it happened in Canada in the 90s and is not an insoluable problem.
You can't just have researchers saying "no, don't wanna" to legitimate FOI requests, they aren't the ones to decide who sees government funded data!
So... trees in southern latitudes agree with their conclusion while northern trees disagree with it.
Don't you think this is a fairly important observation ?
Talk about an "inconvenient truth"...

I dunno about you, but these gave me a different perspective.
"while there's a 1000 times more money at stake for the oil-industry than for the scientists"
Unless the nuclear industry was doing a bit of funding too. You might want to follow the money in that direction.
Go chase down your Google Chrome history file. Indicies, journals and files with sql-ish names. What are they doing here?

Just a thought.
"A consumer should NEVER need to access a CLI."
Ah. There's the problem. Who you calling a "consumer"?
THEY shouldn't have/need one (but some are going to be unavoidable until about the 23rd century)
The rest of us? Please, go away. We're working.
Are you talking about "Lynx" the text based browser?
90% of car drivers can't tell you what a camshaft does either, but it doesn't change the nature of a camshaft.
Altavista had site: before google was born. Where did you think that command came from?
If you type commands into a line it's cli. That it takes free form english as well is a good thing, but we did start doing that in the 70s...
I'd love to get away from the command line. As soon as there's something that can do what it does maybe that'll happen.
But not in my lifetime and not in yours either.
Is why are domain names still a hierarchy? They were only designed that way because computing resources were expensive.
Think about it. Do we want to give people names or entire hierarchies and hops they do the right thing?
Yeah no kidding, it usually takes weeks to get those.
