Umm whats this.

Yes they have killed the xserve line but the Mac Pro uses server hardware and works quite well as one.

Lightsquared anted to "SELL" internet to everyone, they certainly didn't want to give anything away.

Crazy thing about it, is the people who understand electronics, programming, computers in general, mostly the people who come here, are the ones who are most worried about the move to e-voting. Why would you go with a technology when the "experts" don't trust it.

Thanks, Now I was able to get in on the joke

Then please tell me how the moisture in the air gets to the upper layers of the atmosphere where it actually forms?

Ok read your article. It seems the primary reason for the increased ice in the Bering sea as compared the rest of the arctic, which has seen a decline in sea ice coverage, was due to winds blowing the ice down to the Bering strait where it backed up until the ice wall finally collapsed and the ice then flowed into the Bering sea while the low temperatures helped keep it frozen.

Not sure what point you are trying to make with it, as it even mentions the record highs in the continental US.

Except snow doesn't form down here, it forms high up in the atmosphere, to get that water up there you have to have heat to drive the saturated air up. Notice it snows far heavier on the warmer winter days. Once the temp drops well below freezing the chances of snow are greatly reduced.

So I am wrong, care to educate me, o' weather scientist. Are you saying moisture density in the air is not increased by heat? And why would it have to be colder for more snow. I find that snow is more likely to fall closer to the freezing point, in fact the temperature generally rises when it snows.
Basically what I am saying is it can get too cold to snow (well not really but the probability the conditions for snow are vastly reduced), below 0F you really don't get much precipitation. Snow requires a few things to occur before you see those white flakes. 1 Moisture saturation, the more moisture in the air means the higher probability of snow, 2. Temperature, must allow the ice crystals to stay frozen on their way down, 3 a temperature difference between the lower atmosphere and the area where snow develops. On really cold days there is not enough heat to drive the saturated air to the very cold layers of the atmosphere where snow forms

Oh wait you said I was wrong? Hmm guess not.

Again how is more snow show that the warming trend is wrong? Snow is a product of moisture in the atmosphere not the temperature (unless it rises above say around 38 degrees). I would argue that more moisture is a product of warmer temperatures due to evaporation.

More snow does not mean cooler temps. More snow means more moisture in the air.

Don't read much do ya? " neither is true."

Replace my 30 hp Yanmar Diesel with an electric motor. I really only use it for docking and mooring, I'll luff through the doldrums. I worry more about too much wind rather than not enough.

Double my current 6 6v golf cart batteries. and I could circumnavigate in comfort, and use all my gadgets.

and I'd need a new boat, my little Pearson is fun for the coast but I think the ocean would break her

Just saying that we have better ways to perform the task already.

So almost the entire usable area of the deck is wasted for the solar panels. Get a sailboat and do it safer and with more style.
Not sure I'd want to be on that thing in heavy weather,

And most cruising boats worth their metal have solar cells that provide enough power to charge the batteries for night time use. This is really a non story. I know some guys who would rather wait for the wind then start up the diesel.

Yeah but that's a completely different range in prices. 229 vs 999.
