Exactly. Or, maybe they received a bulk of requests, each for a specific piece of data.

I love that add-on because I keep forgetting I have it installed, then, out of the blue, BAM!, a sentence no longer makes sense but is much more fun: "Hospitals now delivering babies in my butt, film at 11!".

There's no need to install Ansible on the remote systems, only on the machine running the playbooks. All Ansible activity is run over SSH and has no remote dependencies.

Also keep in mind that Eich was given only 4 days to create the language. I agree that things should have been fixed long ago, while the changes would have been less disruptive.

Nice, you now have Karnal knowledge!

But you wouldn't need to re-write all of the flash memory if it is encrypted and the key is properly wiped. Without the key it might as well be random data. The trick would be to make sure that the original key isn't still lurking on one of the chips, but I'd like to think that people far smarter than me worked that part out.

I would agree with that. "Fabrication" was used in the article, and was probably a bit of a stretch. I have no idea if there was intent to deceive at the NOAA, and am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

I'm not familiar with Christopher Booker or his works (he might be full of shite the majority of the time, I just don't know), but it looks like he was right about the 1930s having the highest temp on record: NOAA Reinstates July 1936 As The Hottest Month On Record

I'm not a supporter or denier of "human-caused global warming/cooling/changing/whatever", I think people are a bit arrogant to think they have accurately modeled a system as complex as our planet's weather. To all of the fanatics on the subject, I say "tone it down, you don't know either". /shrug

And at the same time, there's a story that the NOAA has been fabricating their temperatures for years: The scandal of fiddled global warming data

A buddy of mine was making more than that as a pipe welder. It's also very helpful if you're willing to travel.

Same here, but using Firefox 28 on OSX, error message "Peer's Certificate has been revoked. (Error code: sec_error_revoked_certificate)".

Actually, that's not the case. As already mentioned by PhrostyMcByte above, here's the quote from Microsoft's FAQ:

Pretty cool in my book.

I don't care who ya are, that's funny. If only I had mod points...

In all fairness to mythosaz, he called it a "garden gnome," not a "theoretical garden gnome."

I agree with your general sentiment regarding fake science, however, a little bit of reading comprehension will go a long way.

It's not like the summary says "The oldest rock on earth!".
