    no, China does not have sufficent weapons to do that

    nonsense, proxy wars of the cold war in korea and viet nam were not about those

  3. Re:Another another delay? on SpaceX Delays Falcon 9 Launch To Tuesday · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes, for the history of the space program government rocket launches were delayed too for technical reasons. You'll also note some of the rockets exploded or failed to reach space. A for-profit company might not want to make so many fireworks.

    statement is true as written, read with more concentration.

    Did you know the average global temperature was higher from 7550 and 3550 BC than now?

    " Early Holocene (10,000 to 5000 years ago) warmth is followed by ~0.7C cooling through the middle to late Holocene (5000 years ago), culminating in the coolest temperatures of the Holocene during the Little Ice Age, about 200 years ago. This cooling is largely associated with ~2C change in the North Atlantic. Current global temperatures of the past decade have not yet exceeded peak interglacial values but are warmer than during ~75% of the Holocene temperature history." -- A Reconstruction of Regional and Global Temperature for the Past 11,300 Years by Shaun A.

    why, I can make simulated annealer (minima solver) with traditional analog components

    anyone who invests in D-Wave might want to think about that one

    there is no way any "climate change" in the next hundred years will be anywhere as near severe as has occurred in earth's past

    you link to shill rubbish, the D machine is just another example of doing simulated annealing poorly, which is why classical machines can solve the fabricated and invented D-Wave problem by means scalable without limit

    that's really funny if you thought was attempt to confuse. stop confusing yourself. I don't have to make posts helpful to your shill agenda nor does anyone else.

  14. Re:Certify it on Google Forks OpenSSL, Announces BoringSSL · · Score: 2

    wrong. FIPS certifcation has just been proven to be meaningless, and in fact the reason openssl was such dung. Most FIPS certfied systems have multiple known vulnerabilities now.

    Instead, those with a brain will chose the superior alternative being developed, and those in government will have to follow leadership and make a better standard.

    oh, you want list of all the alternative technologies that can power areas like most of northern america? there aren't any or they would exist. Nuclear and fossil are the only viable options, no citation needed because reality shows it so.

    Or maybe the USA should be like Germany, driving big business out with their ludicrously expensive "green" electricity?

    wrong, you are the one short sighted. the truth is use of fossil fuel has increased human lifespan, health, and driven civilization forward, far outweighing the downsides. Now we have alternatives but they are not yet developed enough to be viable replacement globally

    think harder.

    it MAY be easy for them to find the jammer. if the person who plants one has any brains, it will be hard to impossible to find who owns it.

    with some truly creative use of coax and multiple antennae, it is also possible to make it impossible to even find the source of the signal with triangulation
