    Cap and Trade: A License Required for your Home

    What a lot whining. In Australia you already need a sustainability declaration to sell your home. It has had zero effect on property prices - in fact property prices are rising at an "unsustainable" rate.

    That is a completely irrational statement.

    Linux

    http://www.prorealtime.com/en/ Anything that is Java based will almost certainly run. Some Windows stuff *may* work under Wine. DTN IQFeed certainly does. If you install Windows under VmWare, VirtualBox or similar virtual machine environment, then just about all Windows products should run.

    Ping times to foreign data server

    Very misleading stuff. Of course latency matters. Especially over intercontinental distances. Distance and number of hops to your destination determine ping time - your ISP has little influence over it. Your bandwidth requirements depend on what you are using it for. For example if you are...

    New health-care law will destroy US economy?

    Where do you get this nonsense from? Governments (and government owned corporations) produce all sorts of things eg * Police forces which "produce" law and order enforcement * In somewhere like UK, the NHS "produces" health care services * Transport and transport infrastructure *...

    I run software I wrote myself. All Java. Also IB TWS and DTN IQFeed (using Wine). There is no issue whatsoever with graphics performance - including running HDTV on one of the screens. The reality is that progress in computer hardware has outstripped the needs of many users - not all users of...

    about comouter

    But it does the job just as well as something that costs five times as much. Who cares if it has CUDA? How many here use CUDA or even know what it is? If you want to use CUDA then buy something that supports CUDA. Use appropriate technology for the job. Why pay thru the nose for stuff that...

    NVIDIA Quadro 400 PCI and Quadro 450 PCIeX16 driver conflicts?

    If you post the question on the NVIDIA support forum you should get a well informed answer. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/index.php

    Obamas racist new tax targeting whites.

    Are you saying that skin cancer can be attributed to sun screen? If so, I'd like to see some sort of authoritative reference. (No internet quackery please). There is no doubt that skin damage from UV exposure dramatically increases the risk of skin cancer and sun screens have been shown to...

    Is global warming a sign of mental weakness?

    Is that what the satellite temperature record says? Obviously not. Is the record saying that this year could well be the hottest on record - yes it is. So why do you feel the need to concoct nonsense straw men in your posts?

    Is global warming a sign of mental weakness?

    2010 mean global temperature from satellite observation. 2010 is the orange line. Other lines are for each year in the last decade or so You can generate your own charts here: http://discover.itsc.uah.edu/amsutemps/ This satellite temperature record is assembled by Dr Roy Spencer -...

    Is global warming a sign of mental weakness?

    It's beyond your words - because you have nothing to say and wouldn't be able to articulate it even if you did have something to say. Every national science academy and scientific society or association of international standing that have a public stated position on AGW have affirmed that the...

    Is global warming a sign of mental weakness?

    Quite so, humans are not the sole cause of warming - just the main one. Best estimates of warming since pre-industrial times attribute 75% to humans. Some increase of sun's brightness up until around 1950 probably accounts for most of the rest. There is no evidence of increasing trend in sun...

    Is global warming a sign of mental weakness?

    Why don't you just go and research this yourself? If you had any genuine interest in the facts that is exactly what you should do.
