  1. not a record on NOAA: Earth Smashed A Record For Heat In May 2014, Effects To Worsen · · Score: 1, Informative

    Earth provably warmer in the "recent" (less than 12,000 years) past, and moreover that higher peak held for 3,000 years from 7500 B.C.

    The hysteria and FUD and the billions of dollars and euros wasted on "climate modeling" is absurd, so is basing billions of euros and dollars of cap and trade scams upon them

  2. Re:No Evidence on Climate Change Prompts Emperor Penguins To Find New Breeding Grounds · · Score: 1

    Citatation prove and says exactly what I said, we have not exceeded those past peak temperatures.

    Now you are trying to claim possession of some magic crystal ball and are making speculation about the future. that is nonsense.

  3. records go back to 1880, very funny on NOAA: Earth Smashed A Record For Heat In May 2014, Effects To Worsen · · Score: 1, Troll

    taking measurements from inaccurate thermometers and scant coverage from over a century ago, and claiming we know global average temperatures in the 19th century is beyond ludicrous. No amount of massaging of data can make credible comparison to today's grid of sensors.

    no I wouldn't, quite familar with that in both Linux and BSD lands

    just last week had to install some nagios nrpe package that had some Perl library requirements, and it was hell first trying the one from repository, then a couple alternative CPAN ones, and finally finding the actual POS that would work.

    some people still write new COBOL too

    sure, can write good stuff with it, but it is passing

    it hasn't yet, since 2000 Larry and the Perltards jacking around with Perl 6 specs and still it's in development with no production release. In the past we'd say Perl 6 was like Duke Nukem Forever, except DNF finally got released so that joke's gone

  11. Yes, Perl is indeed dead and rotting on Perl Is Undead · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Larry killed Perl, 14 years and counting and still no Perl 6 production release.

    Meanwhile, Perl 5 being phased out of system building / admin tools and web frameworks. Even Perl 5 is dying.

    there is a south pole too, so very easy to say away from the north pole is south, and if the north pole is moving on the face of the earth, the velocity vector tangent to the surface must be pointing south.

  17. Re:Updating? on Linux Mint 17 KDE Released · · Score: 2

    but you can do it, just not reccommended. I upgrade in place all the time. just point to new repositories and have at it. no big deal smoothing out any rough edges if you're a pretty good linux admin.

    you'd of course make backup of client's system anyway, and have restored linux systems from backups successfully in the past?

  18. Re:Bugger on Linux Mint 17 KDE Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    are you pretty good with linux admin?

    linux mint is built on ubuntu, so just point toward the proper linux mint kde 17 repository list (most of which will be same as yours) and apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade

    then smooth out the rough edges.

    I've done this plenty of times, but only do it if you're pretty handy and experienced with linux admin

  19. Re:not North Pole drift on Satellite Swarm Spots North Pole Drift · · Score: 1

    no, the magnetic pole is south of the north pole, and the north pole itself can only be moving in a southern direction if you think about it.

  20. Re:No Evidence on Climate Change Prompts Emperor Penguins To Find New Breeding Grounds · · Score: 1

    the temperatures have not exceeded those values, nor is there any reason to believe they will even by people accepting the exaggerated nonsense from the IPCC

    bad headline, the drifting of the North Pole is seperate matter from drift of magnetic pole. The magnetic pole is moving north at 40 km / year (accelerating from its former value of 10 km/ year a century ago. Normal and expected too.

    The north pole itself moves a few cm per year
