You're wrong about me. I'm not an alright person at all. All I care about is myself.
Which means I don't appreciate being constantly solicited by 'maybe' people whose scientific abilities don't include proof of concept or the ability to refrain from fraud, intimidation and coercion.
Incidentally all the models failed to predict the cooling of the past 15 years. Sincerity is not a substitute for competence.

Now we have it. When logical debate fails, throw insults.
For anyone who actually wants facts:
NASA[^]. NASA are clearly frauds
Wikipedia[^]. A wikipedia article showing that the 5 year average temperature has risen consitently, with a blip in 2005. There was a reduction in solar output which slowed temperature rise, but we are now back to normal solar output. Sites that deny these facts use very specific data (not global, full year data) and typically obfuscate their lack of candour.
I guess that the rise in sea level has been caused by "unusually heavy rains" and New York's budget provisions for dealing with sea inundations are more proof of lack of competence.

But given the previous comment and that it an accepted fact then why does every issue devote 3/4 of the space to articles about that? (Not saying it does but that is what the post that you responded to said.) Surely there is a lot of science out there to report on?

To be fair when I read it commonly many years ago there were more technology articles in than would be justified by a complete survey of all of 'Science'.

Quote: why does every issue devote 3/4 of the space to articles about that To be honest, I think that there's some exaggeration there! I do think that the large number of articles on the subject is due to a number of factors that include contoversy, the complexity and the huge implications. I work for an environmental and land resource, watershed based, agency which has major roles in planning, flood prevention and summer flow augmentation. Climate change occupies much of our attention. In our watershed we've seen one-in-a-hundred-year events become more like one-in-ten-year. There are huge implications for property loss and human lives are at risk. This tends to mean big money and, ultimately, science does tend to follow the $!
Quote: many years ago there were more technology articles I agree. If we look back on our careers, a lot of new technology used to rely on new science. We see a lot of new technology now comes out of process refinements. Even the space race, that drove a lot of innovation, has slowed. Sure, we have quantum computing and carbon tube research, but these aren't hitting the production lines yet. Even 3D printing is based on old inkjet printing techniques. I assume that when we have our next spurt of new technology based on new science, we'll see that reflected in Popular Science.

My first through was "hurrah for Pop Sci."
In my experience, many laypeople have no clue about things scientific, but do have a strong opinion, often about some misconception they possess.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

Suddenly IE started crashing, and after a little bit of debugging I find that it's F-Secure that's bringing the browser down.
It didn't even help to remove the plugins from IE, it still causes IE to crash ...
Anybody else having fun with IE & F-Secure?
|
|
|
|
|
Nope.
But then, IE is only there for decoration: I wouldn't actually try to use it!

I didn't even have Chrome installed on this computer - and I couldn't use IE to download it. Browser Choice to the rescue - not something I ever expected to happen ...

My installation order: OS, Firewall, AV, Chrome.
IE is miles down the list...

I only brought two computers with me on this trip - both of them set up for 'development', left one at the office. The browser started crashing after booting it up here at the hotel.
|
|
|
|

So...you checked into the hotel, and "started browsing" then IE crashed. Hmmm - suspicious: just what were you browsing? On second thoughts, I don't want to know...

And then you find you're too tired to sleep anyway... fun, fun fun!

Didn't help ... Seems the IT department installed a version of F-Secure that's not a 100% compatible with Windows 8.

No IE has a real purpose if used correctly i.e. with one of these[^].

Works fine here.
Maybe you should change your browsing habits.
