Generalization are generally wrong...

carbon pollution is a myth. It is deemed "pollution" by those mis-informed or have an agenda, such as tax revenue.

I thought I was going to see a significant movement in the ice sheets, on the order of 10's or 100's of miles. From what I saw, the rate of decline was statistically meaningless, measured in mere feet. My guess is the previous administration was more concerned with releasing something that would show or capabilities of our spy satellites and not trying to conceal this.

This headline is very misleading. Sure you can buy 12x1TB drives for just under a grand, but you won't have anything to connect them to, as the controller itself is another $1100. Another eye-catching headline to get click through's, that' just wrong. Sad.

Norton, Symantec and others have created an entire multi-billion dollar subscription based industry around virus protection for Windows. I wonder how they are going to react to this potential bomb for there business model?

The atmospheric pressure at 30-40K feet is around 200 millibars, basically the air is only 20% as dense as it is at the surface (~1000 millibars). So the kinetic energy available in a 120 mph wind at 30K feet is only a small fraction of what that kind of wind is at the surface. Point being, a 100+ mph wind sounds impressive, but at that altitude the kinetic energy is much less than it is at the surface.

I am looking to buy a "smart" phone soon. One of the critical things I need is an ssh app so I can log into my linux servers. Does the Pre have an ssh app yet?

It some cases this may make sense, but on large scale I see problems with it. I roof painted white, or with white shingles would, fairly quickly lose its high reflection [Albedo] as dirt/grim turns it from white to brown/black in just a couple of years. In addition, the solar insolation in areas north 40 degrees north, would have a much less of an affect.

Great, it being Java and all I guess my when I upgrade to my 32 core 4GHZ desktop, it may be just fast enough to be usable....Probably not. I have never used a program written in Java that wasn't 10x slower than a comparable program written in C. JVM is a piece of crap, that is so resource intensive, that a lot of computers (1GB or ram or less) still in use today have problems running it. I hope Java will soon be a forgotten blemish in the history of programming languages.

Maybe they did? Doesn't say what number they called. But even if they called the "Regular" 800 number that customer service rep should have routed them to the Law Enforcement Emergency Number.

So multiple users/machines can access the network with one devices wirelessly.

I disagree, there could be evacuation routes that would only have to move folks 2 miles inland to get out of harms way. A tsunami generated in the eastern Atlantic would take several hours to reach the Eastern Seaboard of the U.S. giving time for some to evacuate low lying areas near the immediate coast.

I know and have known quite a few drug reps. Yep, all smoking hot and all got the job because of that. Doctors tolerate their stupidity because they are hot. They go to their drug rep dinners b/c and prescribe their drugs, b/c they are hot. In the end, drug companies bring it all back to basic human nature. I liken the drug reps that prance into the doctors offices to the Miller Beer Girls, that graduated and instead of giving out beer samples, now give out pills to doctors. It's essentially the same thing. No wonder our medical system is so screwed.
