I'll bet you $1,000.00 that no current AGW model accurately predicts the global temperature to within +/- 0.1 degC over the next ten years, without internally inconsistent, ad hoc tweaks to the data driving the model to coincidence.

Bet to settle on Jan. 08, 2018.

Um... Perk... Huffington was, at one point a Republican (married to one, at least, even if he did turn out to be bisexual), and spouted conservative rhetoric. So. For a decade or more she's said the diametric opposite. What's your defense, that she doesn't really believe anything she says? So... wh...

Huffington claims that it's both the Dems and Repubs behind the current crisis, but, oh yeah, she's conservative, she can't be counted as MSM. Epic fail. She is extreme left wing, and has been for a decade or so. You also think Anthropomorphic Global Warming ™ (I'm sorry, human caused climate chang...

I found out centrifugally pressurized rockets SHOULD NOT be built out of a home casting.

Eh. Someday, with a forging.

Here is a great but highly polemic post rom realclimate on the details of how Roy got his PDO data that matches so precisely. He selected to indices, and linearly combined them, and then added a big damping factor. http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2008/05/how-to-cook-a-graph-in-three-e...

If the Polywell works middling well between best and worst assumptions.

After rereading that I clearly needed coffee. There should be no subsidies for the new power technologies other than research, if that, and it is no tragedy oil prices have fallen to a lower natural level. That's far better "welfare" than what the new administration proposes. Yours, TDP, ml, msl, & ...

Josh Cryer, those are excellent comments you made...

...to support the idea we should do nothing to subsidize those energy approaches until fossil fuels are scarce enough for them to more competitive.

If you drive 20kmi/yr, and you work even two full time jobs, and you pay for the usual things in addition to transportation, then Ivan was ludicrously wrong.

The average speed of car would be north of 32mph, for a real world person.

Greenpeace Is Sceptical (and ignorant)

I was born in 1971, and this has been a true statement the entirety of my politically aware life, which started in the campaign for Reagan's first term.

Tainter's argue that the capitalism is an unstable system. I believe he is right, specially in view of the recent events. Certainly there are more predictable ways to organize a society other than private property, and the concomitant freedoms of expression and association, but I would not trade th...

Hello Roger and scareduck. It sounds like you have been taking the mainstream media seriously. This mainstream media: http://www.pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/archives2/024231.php They want the US to have lost in Iraq. Paying attention to them makes me wonder if you two want us to have lost in Iraq a...

From the moment of realizing the nature of the character, reading Chalker, and hearing Kurzwiel speak of the Singularity--I've thought the future was a inevitably going to be more like Jack L. Chalker's dystopias then I was comfortable with. Unless the first emotive AI is like Daniel K. Moran's "Rin...

That is a cannard. In your case it may not be true, but it is still commonly seen that much computer code is unreadable, and that in Forth it is particularly easy to quickly develop efficient but unreadable code. The dictionaries are developed idiosyncratically for each application (or they are mor...

...and but for this I will not reply further. Forth users tend to generate write once, read never code--you may not have this as an issue. The ASM and HLL lang. for the Prop are quite determinate and exactly intended for the control of real world hardware, at which it does quite well. Anyone who kno...
