Higher evaporation means more clouds (somewhere) and more rain (somewhere). Recent studies show increased snowfall in central Antarctica for instance. It's entirely possible that global warming has lessened the severity…
Right, of course we should want single-payer, just like Canada! Never mind that the average wait time to see a doctor in Canada is almost 20 weeks, and that tens of thousands of Canadians cross the border to the US…
It doesn't. The only way an ice sheet gains mass under any normal circumstance is new snow falls on top. As more and more snow accumulates over time, the ice sheet grows thicker. What offsets that is that ice flows…
Oracle is only one player in the Java ecosystem. OpenJDK owns just about everything now, and most organizations are going to get support somewhere besides Oracle. There's been some good recent innovation with Java, and…

To be fair, each service has its own variant. That's increased cost, but each service should have aircraft that'll work well for the individual service's requirements. The F-15, F-16, and F-18 are all multi-role…
It doesn't necessarily follow from "the airframe isn't the most expensive part" that you still wouldn't want an improved airframe. The F-16 isn't stealthy (terrible in fact), and the F-22 isn't well suited as a strike…
"Bless your heart. Election history, with regard to the party holding the White House, strongly predicts the Republicans will have a bad time." 'Past performance doesn't guarantee future results...' Trump has confounded…
They bother implying that because of a political agenda. In point of fact the "hundreds of thousands" of useful idiots will eventually come to understand the real world - and in the meantime little will change. The…
"For the cost of a single death machine, the will for war could be bought: you just use it to deliver books and medicine and food, instead of death and mayhem and misery." We've done that for decades with North Korea,…
Japan is also considering a F-35B purchase according to the article.
"What's realistic about calling for a large-scale rollout of something which has never been built, in an industry where cost-overruns are typical? Shouldn't you build at least one before betting the farm on it?" (Sorry…
"Does the average f2p shovelware author really have the resources to implement a system like the one contemplated in this presentation? I doubt it." It doesn't matter. Take a look at Summoner's War, the top revenue MMO…
It's not happening much at all in NFL football, since it's a major penalty if caught, and it's hard to hide. I do hope helmet technology improves to handle inadvertent contact.
