  1. Re:Yes but on Forging a Head: The Upside of Scientific Hoaxes · · Score: 1

    I am speaking of a planned heist not implemented, "cap and trade" and carbon tax and such. The mega-corporations with our governments in their pocket are heisting us, and it includes almost all energy production, but they also have plans for increased profits from "cap and trade" and carbon taxes.

    I don't like fossil fuel pollution either, and your death and maiming statistics are too low.

    Making models of climate a decade or a century from now is not science; that is not the way science works.

    You are wrong, he obviously meant a standard U.S. 8' two-by-four

    Pi can be digitized in an infinite number of representations, your post contains one of them. You promote an ignorance of mathematics.

    There is no error at all, those are the correct number of whole cubits. You'd have the same issues if the measurement were given to a 0.001 of a cubit. Those who claim some error are ignorant of the concepts both of accuracy and precision.

    I can do better than 0.5 certainty, as the first three digits are 11.0

    There is no science within the CRU to carry, that is an institution which generate speculations to prop up a multi-trillion dollar wealth heist. The real collected data on global warming is a separate issue.

  10. Re:Yes but on Forging a Head: The Upside of Scientific Hoaxes · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That's not the point, whether they question global warming or not. the point is "There are thousands of scientists who question the methodologies and conclusions of the CRU". That junk science by them is being the basis for a planned multi-trillion dollar parasitic system on the most developed countries.

    That is not relevant, the snipers of which I spoke would not use that model of Barrat at that range. There are sub-MOA rifles for 2000 yards

    There are thousands of scientists who question the methodologies and conclusions of the CRU. The benefactors of the CRU have economic and political agendas, which is the salient revelation of the "climategate" e-mails.

    I have a real job, therefore I know the truth that what I said stands in 99% of companies (regarding the lowest end obsolete workstations given to grunts). The BIOS alarm can be reset at those 99% of companies.

  14. Re:Buy more ram on Ask Slashdot: Best Small-Footprint Modern Browser? · · Score: 1

    that level of monitoring of the lowest end machines given to grunts/interns is so very rare it's not worth considering by average grunt/intern, and one can always play dumb. In this case those with the potential for such fine grained monitoring have already failed, as they issued machine inadequate for the job. Someone should be monitoring *that*, that's called effective IT management, not going to elaborate lengths to make sure nothing ever changes on the inadequate tools.

    Irrelevant, climate modelling and making economic and political decisions based on those models is not science. The climatologists and their benefactors have set up their own echo chamber, and reality is proving them wrong. We are not on some runaway graph of ever increasing temperature.

    IT would never know anyway. Put in the RAM, if it works, great, remove it when you leave company. If upgrade breaks machine, take it out and put in ticket saying 'my pc stopped working". no problem.

    $3000 for that hard drive in 1982, would be $5700 in today's money. Flash Git? He did build his career to that point on a Remington Noiseless Deluxe portable from the early 1940s, very successful and in his 60s by 1980, can't we let an old man enjoy the fruits of his lifelong labors?

    outstanding (and therefore rare) long range snipers can do less than two foot groups at 2000 yards with 50 BMG or Chey Tac, that's sufficient to take out man-sized target (no, not head shots, pointless...getting hit anywhere in torso will ruin your mark's day)

    someone had a product that had internal scanner, you'd scan in the form, fill it in, and then impact print on it. I think was around 1987. I have an LQ-1500 and one ribbon left in foil package never opened, but haven't use the thing for at least 23 years.
