I want to see the max and min values with associated dates for the 1979 - 2009 periods. Also, I don't understand why we (US Citizens) have paid roughly 1.3 million dollars to get vague and inconclusive results like this. I really wish that the NSF would start funding real science for a change. Here's an example of other weird stuff they research with our money. http://majorityleader.gov/YouCut/Review.htm "This work was supported by NSF grants ANS 0909388 and ARC 0901962, the NASA Cryosphere Program, and the Ohio State University Climate Water and Carbon Program. Field work along the K-transect has been supported by NWO/ALW." Here's the grant information. http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward.do?AwardNumber=0909388 http://www.recovery.gov/Transparency/RecipientReportedData/pages/RecipientProjectSummary508.aspx?AwardIdSur=29630 I'm not totally against NSF I think it's an awesome idea but I would like some accountability.

Google Didn't Ship Relicensed Java Code After All 223

RedK writes "In a follow up to yesterday's news about Google apparently relicensing confidential Oracle code found in Java under the ASL, it seems that the blogger who initially reported the issue was plain wrong, as the files he indicated were in breach of Oracle's copyright do not actually ship with Android. Google has also deleted many of these files, which were mostly used as unit tests."

Comment Netflix or Productivity? (Score 1) 291

So the choices are (movies and netflix) or my smartphone? You know what...if I cancelled my netflix and stopped going to see movies...that would free up so much of my time! I could spend time figuring out how to make my millions instead of gaining weight on the sofa! Even if I don't make my millions I could read and expand my mind! Plus with all the money I save I could probably buy a used sports car and have some REAL fun. Hmmm...which should I choose?
