but you did not provide any evidence for any massagin of data. You pointed to some allegiations of fraud that later on turned out to be misunderstandings of the science or clear dishonesty. e.g., claim: NASA drops inconvenient stations to inflate the warming. truth: he station data has not come in y...

update: GISS february data is in; they also show this February as the second warmest in the recorded temperature history.

Very cool. I seem to detect some inspiration from the art of Warhammer, is that true?

Bump. New video featuring physics and solar wind effect posted today. See it at http://www.minerwars.com/ I like the way the chain guns kick your opponent's ship around :) Thanks for posting this, Gekko. I am now quite impressed. I like the way the ship moves, and the solar wind effects --- and the...

"Since the errors are largest in February (almost 0.13 C), we believe that February is the appropriate month to introduce v5.3 where readers will see the differences most clearly." The following graph shows how removing the errors affects averages: http://www.drroyspencer.com/wp-content/u...

Not quite sure if I understand what you want to say, but if I understand correctly you are throwing together two things: While he may say Feb was the \"warmest\" the question is by how much and how bad was the data used: February being the 2nd warmest is derived from his satellite data, wh...

Pandora

no they are not. Read my posts above. Several people have now looked at this (including some skeptics) and they do NOT find any higher warming on the so-called bad stations --- in fact, if anything, people find the reverse. The 'bad' stations show less warming than the good ones. If you threw them o...

new levels being played? That's some news!

Because there is bad wheather somewhere? Is this all you got? edit: just to give you a global perspective: Note sure what GISS and HadCrut say but according to the UAH satellite index, this February was the second warmest February on record. http://rankexploits.com/musings/2010/uah-betting-results-b...

we don't have such problems here. Sounds strange anyways ... they could always go to a private dentist if it is this problematic. And of course, not everything is perfect --- particularly in areas where there are not enough dentists --- but in general it works quite well.

Pandora

OTOH, we can look at true socialist health care as performed in various countries like Britain. Is this what we want here? as someone who is living in Britain I can attest that it works great. I would not want to miss it. Think about it: almost everything is covered for not much tax, and for everyt...

I think it is weird that they only focus on the distructable environments. This is a nice feature, i guess, but I really would like to see some gameplay. How will the fights look? Which weapons will be available, etc.

Pandora

I'd love to see some combat.

Pandora

done. noted in the comments that I am not american.

Pandora

would do it of course, but seems to be very US centric. Would you like me to take part nevertheless?

Pandora

Next one: Two American researchers allege that U.S. government scientists have skewed global temperature trends by ignoring readings from thousands of local weather stations around the world, particularly those in colder altitudes and more northerly latitudes, such as Canada. To which i replied that...

Woody, here are some updated on the last few issues you raised. "The University of East Anglia breached the Freedom of Information Act by refusing to comply with requests for data concerning claims by its scientists that man-made emissions were causing global warming." http://www.timesonli...

BTW: the fact that I bring up marijuana so often only happens when people try and pass off misinformation and simply bad articles without doing any actual research.

A plan I had (but never realized) was to not only have an alarm clock but also a coffee machine connected to the timer. It would turn on 5 minutes before the alarm, and brew coffee directly into a cup. I reckoned I would wake up much more esily with the smell of coffee in my nose, and the prospect o...

Pandora

With that kind of attitude you should be asking yourselves \"what's the point of civilization anyway, can't we all just slip back into our tribal way of living?\" Humans ask questions, humans explore. That's just what we do. I don't think we should not go into space. Space *is* pretty coo...

Pandora

Nice post Pandora. It brings to bare the old "space age" notion that technology is "cool" and simple and easy to use. "Just push a button". ..btw.. are we still in the space age? :lol: Anyways, I think that author has a nice grip on what's going on in the market place....

Pandora

Since I'm a realist and humanist I would say there is no space age as far as the human exploration of space is concerned. The distances are too great, the environment is too hostile, the human body is too frail, and the costs would be astronomical to consider any manned mission beyond our own moon,...

and the best regiment for a biological clock is a baby.

Pandora

a friend told me of something that helped her. An alarm clock that simulates sunlight, but much brighter. She never rises due to natural sunlight, but this apparently does the trick. not sure if this the thing she meant, but have a look: http://www.gadgetshack.com/sun-alarm-clock-radio-light-therapy...

The Kraken is awesome. Love the color scheme.

By the way, do you know layer tennis? two designers duke it out over several rounds, each uses what the other has drawn for his new work.

I agree, Sirius. The challenge is basically to get all those interested who don't care about computers till now. If it works, they might be gaining a huge market segment --- if not, well, Apple has enough money to afford a failure.

Pandora

Nice perspective on the iPad: A big part of the reason for all the excitement about the iPad is that, similar to the Nintendo Wii in the videogames industry, it appeals to segments of the market which have not traditionally been targeted. Segments which are nevertheless ready and willing, as with Wi...

Problem is it is not only Christy but the head guru Jones saying the warming scam is just that...a scam. not sure where you got this from. Read his actual BBC interview, not what the sceptic noise machine makes of it. Here's the part of his quote the deniers like to omit: BBC: How confident are you...

Pandora

Quite close still is not "statistically significant". the actual significance level is quite important. It tells you how likely it is whether the apparent warming trend is just random noise. Standard significance is typically .05 (so we can be 95% sure that the warming trend is not just n...

Pandora

All in all, the climate warming scandal is just that as more and more of the skeptics data is being made public. Oh well, the skeptics are really riding the wave of the email scandal. But you are mistaking making lots of noise with actually having a point. "John Christy, a professor of atmosph...

Pandora

haven't forgotten, Woody, just traveling and extremely busy right now. I'll comment more when I am back. Again, double check your sources. Jones has been quite misrepresented. For example, with regard to the 15 year trend he said that there is a positive trend that is close to significance, but that...

Pandora, you don't want to wait for a competitor's device to come out? Sony and HP are working their own slates right now. Hitler even mentioned he might get the HP.

hate to go against the grain here, but I actually quite like the iPad. Mostly because I am interested in GUI design --- I think its cool that that iPad inally comes close to Jeff Raskins original vision for the Mac in the 70ies. http://gizmodo.com/5452501/the-apple-tablet-interface-must-be-like-this...

Pandora

Well the problem of credulity lies with the promoters of climate warming. Perhaps if they were more forth-coming on their data and how it was used, the sceptics might be more forth coming. LOL. NASA has tried that. When McIntire found a very inconsequential error it was blown out of all proportion....

Adding the known output from active volcanoes (Table 1) and gas vents (Table 2), the total geological CO2 emission in Italy would be in the order of 20–60 Mt/year, 5–15% of the national anthropogenic emissions.
