The motherboard I have in mind is the ASUS m5a97 r2.0. Back in October, 2015 I got a PDF on that motherboard at http://data.manualslib.com/pdf2/42/4150/414970-asus/m5a97_r2... Just checking, the PDF doe

It may be that we are at significant risk of a big disaster. So, we want to be correct. For one, we can conclude that there is little or no danger, that we need do nothing, do nothing, be wrong, and have a big disaster. For another, we

I followed your link on the Navier-Stokes equations. Nice. They mentioned C. Fefferman: I'd forgotten that he wrote the problem description for the Navier-Stokes equations for Clay. Fefferman is one of the most respected mathematici

Your view of a lot of the methodology in science, and more so in engineering, is correct or nearly so, and I agree with it nearly so. BUT!!!! So far in saying what human sources of CO2 will do to the temperature of the earth, as in the g

First, the scientific evidence for your claims is in one word, JUNK. For proof of the junk status, their predictions have already failed badly. Again, once again, over again, yet again, one more time, this time just for you, in science, wh

When I was applying to grad school for applied math, one place I applied was the Division of Applied Math at Brown University. I had a business trip to the small jet engine shop of GE in Lynn, MA, so went down to Brown to meet some profs.

I suspect that we are mostly in agreement but are not reading English the same way. What I said about Joe, a generic guy, his lawnmower, a generic emitter of CO2, gasoline, a generic source of carbon to burn, and NYC, a generic city high

I just watched it: It has a lot of interesting stuff on time scales of some millions or billions of years. Yup, in particular, there have been some huge swings in temperature and CO2 concentrations and big effects in weathering rocks, the

Whole wheat flour is somewhat bitter. Children are especially sensitive to bitter flavors and, thus, don't like wheat bread, coffee, etc. But, grown up, wheat bread, along with dark breads from Central Europe, etc. can no longer seem

Relax! With the rumor that some fast food hamburgers had ground up worms, an answer was that the fast food place wanted to make money and keep down expenses, and per pound worms were more expensive than beef. So, no ground up worms in the

I've never used pastebin. I'm not really against putting a copy of the 11,000+ bytes in some public place, but I'm wondering if anyone would be much interested. Tell me a little about pastebin, and I will try.

There's no game, and your Neptune example does not apply. Instead, you are making an accusation of racism; I claim, rightly, that for such an accusation solid evidence is needed and you, the person making the accusation, should provide
