  1. Re:Oh no, not again. on Don't Worry About Global Warming, Say 16 Scientists in the WSJ · · Score: 1

    He's not adding more, he's taking it out. Don't confuse "not being able to add more than it will hold" with "taking it out when it may or may not be totally full". That is a sub-kindergarden level mistake. I don't mean to troll you, but that is really, really basic.

    I am of the understanding that new growth trees sequester CO2 better than old growth ones. This makes intuitive sense as well.

    It isn't hard to prove an argument is invalid. Go for it.

  5. Re:Wasted money for decades on Deathmatch On Mars: an Interview With Warren Ellis · · Score: 1

    Not our money, anymore than we had Russia's money. We have adopted a system where we don't produce anything, and take what amounts to charity from our rivals in order to keep up appearances, and in so doing, become dependent on them. Once their support is withdrawn, well, tear down this wall.

    Actually, they are, just like BO is Bush III. Same policies, different spin. Same means, same ends.

    Yeah, so let's just make up shit and ignore the actual terrible destructive policies that they keep setting in stone.

    If Ron Paul doesn't make it, then I vote Libertarian, but I would take damn near any third party over "1st tier" R or D candidates. I would prefer a principled, proven candidate like Paul or Kusinich over a neophyte from a third party, but a random guy off the street would do a better job than most R or Ds, as they at least haven't been corrupted.

    We don't HAVE ANY!? I guess you have missed the total militarization of the police in this country, as well as the introduction of numerous new agencies with the power to detain and arrest you for no reason.

    People need to wake up to the fact that we are living in a police state.

    Godwin's law does not apply to discussions of fascist or otherwise totalitarian regimes. Absolute statists hide behind that dodge all too often.

    BS. They ALWAYS did that. I have NEVER seen one ounce of doubt or question come from AGW supporters. No null hypothesis, no openness to new or alternative ideas (including remediation efforts that don't include shutdown of worldwide commerce and industry), and no willingness to engage those with doubts in an honest and open manner. Just insults. And it has been that way for decades.

  16. Re:Counter party risk on What Happens To Your Files When a Cloud Service Shuts Down? · · Score: 1

    Well said. I like that you used the term "counter party risk". This problem is one that is pervasive throughout our economy, not just with cloud servers. Anyone who has any money anywhere should think long and hard about counter party risk. It will be the en vogue term as the next crisis unfolds. MF Global has already shown there are no longer ANY checks in the system against that risk, much to the chagrin of certain farmers who used accounts there to hedge against sudden changes commodity prices.

    *Implying that the military isn't a branch of the government.

    Implying that corporations are joined only with the military, and not with congress, the executive, and police organizations.

    *Implying that free market is the same as a free-for-all, rather than continuing to have simple laws that are applied evenly to all parties (ie, don't murder, steal, assault, or trespass).

    You know, there are plenty of free economic zones around the world. None of them look like "Blade Runner". You watch too much TV.

    The fact that the law can be broken does not mean there is no law. Also, those charged with enforcing the laws are fully capable of breaking them. And they can be pretty in-your-face about it as well.

    You don't get to pick the payload, just the programming (or worse, just the message that will be transmitted).

    Later versions "may" allow for sensors of various types.

    This is an ingenious way for this guy to fund the launch of his own microsatellite, if that is his real goal.
