You do know how easy it is to lie with statistics don't you? Oh right scientists can do no wrong in your world view and we should dispense with reproducibility of their claims and take them on faith. Right.

Mann is a master at lying with statistics.

As is Dr. James Hansen of NASA GISS, fabricating many temperature readings using 1,200 km and 250 km radius circles for a temperature station as if it's temperature represents accurately all the area in those circles. Then he passes off these graphs as if they are accurate representations of his alleged Arctic CO2 Climate Doomsday Rapture aka CAGW. It's not just he arctic either. Where ever there are no temperature stations they commit these frauds rather than working to put in more actual temperature stations. They have disqualified themselves as scientists by their scientific and financial frauds.

No, political whitewash investigations did not even get into the actual frauds committed by Mann et al.. In fact they went out of their way to ignore and avoid the facts. The very questions asked in the inquiries showed that.

Obviously you've not followed the case beyond the fluff political whitewash.

If a scientist at CERN fabricates data to support their claim then yes he/she/they would be committing scientific fraud and if that fraud gets them more grant monies, as in the case of Dr. Michael Mann, then it graduates to financial fraud.

Most scientists actually show their work. Mann did not. Heck he can't even reproduce it. He can't even show others his work. It took years of sleuthing by many to uncover the details and depths of Mann's frauds in his Hockey Stick Statistical Lies.

If as a scientist you fabricate data to support your claims then you're not qualified to be a scientist, a con artist maybe, but not a scientist.

"Interesting-- so corporations are persons, according to the Supreme court, but universities aren't, according to the Virginia court."

The realty is that Corporations and Universities are abstract concepts that represent a group of people. Are they people? As much as Soylent Green is people.

“If your experiment needs statistics, you ought to have done a better experiment.” – Ernest Rutherford

And that is if you're using statistics without hiding the decline and thus distorting the alleged science claims.

What else is there to say? He and Harper are being in the Big Brother Fascist State. It's time to say NO to their kind of evil State Totalitarianism.

Building a prototype by the seat of your hacking pants is one thing, working in start ups and corporate IT departments does require you to get serious and drop the hackery and adopt a professional attitude towards software development. Become an engineer committed to the design of the system that works for your client's needs.

You'll of course, at any company where work has been done, discover that hackers have already been at the company likely creating a mess. One thing that successful software engineers do is clean up the hackery messes by organizing the systems they left behind. When creating new systems that are to last a long time then organize it the best that can be done with a sane and clear design to get the job done and make it easy to maintain and grow.

It's not that you'll never use hacks along the way but it's best to never put those into production code. It will likely come back and bite you and the client more often than not.

Testing Suites help a lot. Create them. Use them.

Oh, get really good at debugging the systems. Listen to other people. Ask them questions. Be humble when you don't know and thank people for assisting you. It pays off and makes you indispensable.

without their permission, toss the judge in the Thames along with his ruling.

In fact a documentary series was made about this that reveals all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR90P1GhZA4.

If it was that easy to build an atom smasher every kid would be doing it! Oh wait they are, every time they throw something!!! Must crush, mush destroy, must obliterate! Must!!! Muh ha ha!

It's clear now.

"US Federal Appeals Courts ten years ago declared pepper spraying peaceful protesters to be an illegal violation of their 4th amendment rights to be free from excessive force and that officers who cause such felony assault are liable for their actions and do not receive protection of sovereign immunity as their actions are excessive use of force which the 4th amendment prohibits."

When the, ahem, elected representatives of the cult of government go wayward and want to impose more violations of our Natural rights by the State cult members it's time to vote them out of office. It would be better to toss em into jail for life for their criminal attempt to subvert the rights of free people, but getting them out of office would be an acceptable first step. Impeach them.

I take a hard line against every cult member of the cult of government that violates the public trust by violating the rights of human beings in their jurisdiction. Toss them in prison with ten times the period of punishment that non-cult members would get.

It runs Linux which, last time I checked, works for general purpose computing. 100 cores... sweet.

Tilera has had 64 and 100 cores for a while now.

"Tilera's primary product family is the Tile CPU. Tile is a multicore design, with the cores communicating via a new mesh architecture, called iMesh, intended to scale to hundreds of cores on a single chip. As of September 2010, shipping versions of Tile have 36 or 64 cores. The goal is to provide a high-performance CPU, with good power efficiency, and with greater flexibility than special-purpose processors such as DSPs. In October 2009, they announced a new chip TILE-Gx100 based on 40nm technology that features up to 100 cores at 1.5 GHz. Other Gx family members will include 16, 32 and 64-core variants."

64 Cores
"TILE64 is a multicore processor manufactured by Tilera. It consists of a mesh network of 64 "tiles", where each tile houses a general purpose processor, cache, and a non-blocking router, which the tile uses to communicate with the other tiles on the processor. The short-pipeline, in-order, three-issue cores implement a MIPS-derived VLIW instruction set. Each core has a register file and three functional units: two integer arithmetic logic units and a load-store unit. Each of the cores ("tile") has its own L1 and L2 caches plus an overall virtual L3 cache which is an aggregate of all the L2 caches.[1] A core is able to run a full operating system on its own or multiple cores can be used to run a symmetrical multi-processing operating system. TILE64 has four DDR2 controllers, two 10-gigabit Ethernet interfaces, two four-lane PCIe interfaces, and a "flexible" input/output interface, which can be software-configured to handle a number of protocols. The processor is fabricated using a 90 nm process and runs at speeds of 600 to 900 MHz."

100 Cores
"The TILE-Gx processor family brings 64-bit multicore computing to the next level, enabling a wide range of applications to achieve the highest performance in the market."
