Cite, please? With real facts, preferably, not some journalistic
nonsense.

Trick has a definition in the public arena. Regardless of how the term
is used in the scientific community the public thinks they are being
fooled.

I haven't payed for computer time in years. I can't believe that you are
not using a Linux cluster, 16, 32, 64 or 128 quad processor Linux
systems with 64 GB of RAM should make a nice little parallel processing
system.

Mann is still going to be kicked to the curb, hung out to dry or have
his resignation accepted.

You need to keep up with current events. Do yourself a favor and read
some newspapers. I have already posted links to these articles, it
shouldn't be too difficult for a guy like you to find them. A basic,
very basic Google Groups search will yield what you seek.

What you don't understand Billy is that you don't need an understanding
of science to know that the scientists involved in the vast
anthropogenic global warming conspiracy are corrupt. No.

Toyota is going through the same thing right now. Do I need to be an
automotive engineering degree or computer science degree to know that
Toyota screwed up? No.

Do I need a law degree to know that I am getting screwed by some law
that is written which can't be understood except if I pay 8 lawyers tens
of thousands of dollars to give me their opinion on it and then a judge
says they are wrong. But then the congressmen who authored the
legislation says that the judges interpretation is what congress's
intended?

Ok, recorded human history. You happy now?

Sorry, you are simply wrong. Once again, you are projecting your
layman's ignorance into a specialised field, with specialised
terminology.

We need the supercomputer for the size of calculations we do. Parallel
processing has its values for the simple calculations, but atomistic
models are simply too big.

Sorry, wrong again. If you can "prove" (and I know you use that word
very loosely) any actual wrongdoing by him, I am sure PSU and everyone
else would like to hear of it.

Ah, no cite. Just like your buddy Moderate, you get caught in some
outrageous and unsubstantiated claim, and then try to bluster out of it
by claiming that the challengers have to find the source. It is really
getting old.

Perhaps, but you do need a modicum of IQ and reading on the topic. You
seem to exhibit neither. And please substantiate your use of the term
"corrupt" with cites. We need to see the "proof".

What did they "screw up" in technical terms? Is it an electronic
problem, a floor mat problem, and accelerator pedal problem, or what/
Please let us and Toyota know, because they don't have the answer.

You see, all you actually know about this is that they "screwed up" the
response to the consumer. That has no parallel in the AGW case.

So you admit that you actually don't have a clue about the science of
AGW - you just know that because it doesn't align with your political
prejudices, it has to be wrong.
