  1. Re:Sounds like most temperature data on Death Valley Dethrones Impostor As Hottest Place On Earth · · Score: 2

    Most temperature data collected over the years should be disqualified for those and other various reasons including the data fabrication that is done by GISS, NOAA and others.

    For a number of articles on the topic that show the data fabrication see: http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/data-tampering-at-ushcngiss.

    Showing graphs without the data to support them, and claim operations have been applied without specifying the operations is quite frankly horse shit. Back up your assertions or go away.

  2. Re:What if... on Death Valley Dethrones Impostor As Hottest Place On Earth · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How about Celsius or even kelvin? Most of the world preferably use these units, even here in the UK, home of the imperial system. Seriously, join the 20th century!

  3. Re:Elsevier needs to go away on Hacked Review System Leads To Fake Reviews and Retraction of Scientific Papers · · Score: 1

    The current system is a hindrance. As an undergraduate student I want to get the fullest picture of my field so I can become the most rounded nurse that I can be. In comes Elsevier, restricting access by imposing ridiculous fees - £30 for 24 hours, anyone?! - despite a wide ranging institutional subscription. Sod that.

    So I'm left reading abstracts, having to omit what look like relevant articles because I cannot verify the veracity of the authors methods. Let's not forget that this is affecting your future doctors, nurses, radiographers and all the other allied health professionals.

  4. Re:Thank fuck! on Finding a Crowdsourced Cure For Brain Cancer · · Score: 1

    Considering that the placebo effect may be stronger than the effects of normal medication in a number of cases (depending on your metabolism), you might be very wrong. It's not a coincidence that medication that fails to out-do a placebo, is not approved for use in humans.

    Your line of reasoning seems confused. What does the efficacy of medications and their approval have to do with the complete and utter lack of rigorous evidence for the efficacy of homeopathy?

    Unless I'm missing fundamental, the efficacy - or lack thereof - of proper medication in a population has nothing to do with the long settled question of magical water and sugar pills 'curing' illnesses.

    The principles supposedly underpinning homeopathy are frankly bullshit. At best it's misguided; at worst it's completely unethical and possibly fatal.

  10. Re:interesting times on EU Says MS Must Offer Other Browsers; Now What? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Another problem is that in IT classes people are taught microsoft, not the critical thinking required to seek their ideal solution. Microsoft will retain their monopoly until IT education becomes education and stops being indoctrination.
