Easiest? No. Anything in a command line is not "easy". It is fully functional? Yes. However I would rather choose a script from a drop down menu, select the comps from the left and drag to the right, choose a time, and hit "run". I can do this with N-Central. You just have to pay for that solution.

People constantly confuse Science with Scientists. Science is a process for understanding the world we live in. Scientists are fallible human beings who are motivated and controlled by a wide variety of variables and who make mistakes just as often as they make real breakthroughs. Then you get to add politics into the whole mix and you can see how fact and truth are easily distorted.

Point in case. This was not the hottest year on record but it was the hottest "La Nina" year. Well "La Nina" is just a scientist made up phrase to describe when the certain parts of the ocean are cooler or warmer. Its meaningless in this discussion.

2012 Another Record-Setter For Weather, Fits Climate Forecasts 336

Layzej writes "The Associated Press reports: 'In 2012 many of the warnings scientists have made about global warming went from dry studies in scientific journals to real-life video played before our eyes. As 2012 began, winter in the U.S. went AWOL. Spring and summer arrived early with wildfires, blistering heat and drought. And fall hit the eastern third of the country with the ferocity of Superstorm Sandy. Globally, five countries this year set heat records, but none set cold records. 2012 is on track to be the warmest year on record in the United States. Worldwide, the average through November suggests it will be the eighth warmest since global record-keeping began in 1880 and will likely beat 2011 as the hottest La Nina year on record. America's heartland lurched from one extreme to the other without stopping at "normal." Historic flooding in 2011 gave way to devastating drought in 2012. But the most troubling climate development this year was the melting at the top of the world. Summer sea ice in the Arctic shrank to 18 percent below the previous record low. These are "clearly not freak events," but "systemic changes," said climate scientist Stefan Rahmstorf of the Potsdam Institute in Germany. "With all the extremes that, really, every year in the last 10 years have struck different parts of the globe, more and more people absolutely realize that climate change is here and already hitting us."'"

Oh, so you mean when you TEST the theory that you can get tangible results which seem to verify the theory? Well, then devise a good test to prove the theory of Evolution. I'm not talking about mutation either. I'm talking about species arising from simple subtractive processes in the DNA/RNA replication process.
