Posted 1077 days ago by Tomas Does that mean he got the Nobel Prize for nothing? Whit this in mind I'm just wondering 'which' side you think are representing the commercial and political hubris? ;) |

Posted 1083 days ago by Tomas So while Al Gore says that the Greenland ice sheet is a key indicator of warming, he didn't complete the sentence by mentioning that it's over 1 metre thicker and several thousand square km's broader than ~ 20yrs ago. Oh, and by the way - he is carbon credit broker.Does that mean he got the Nobel Prize for nothing? No. You have to be a loyer to cal an ice lost of 195 cubic kilometers per year an indication of global cooling ;) The folowing is taken from Wikipedia " The area of the sheet that experiences melting has increased about 16% from 1979 (when measurements started) to 2002 (most recent data). The area of melting in 2002 broke all previous records.[4] The number of glacial earthquakes at the Helheim Glacier and the northwest Greenland glaciers increased substantially between 1993 and 2005.[5] In 2006, estimated monthly changes in the mass of Greenland's ice sheet suggest that it is melting at a rate of about 239 cubic kilometers (57 cu mi) per year. A more recent study, based on reprocessed and improved data between 2003 and 2008, reports an average trend of 195 cubic kilometers (47 cu mi) per year.[6] These measurements came from the US space agency's GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) satellite, launched in 2002, as reported by BBC.[7] Using data from two ground-observing satellites, ICESAT and ASTER, a study published in Geophysical Research Letters (September 2008) shows that nearly 75 percent of the loss of Greenland's ice can be traced back to small coastal glaciers.[8] " |

Posted 1279 days ago by Tomas I would say that the people of Africa will pay the highest prize in this case It's a question of what you value most, the freedom of driving your SUV or the value of other peoples life. |

Posted 1318 days ago by Tomas Thank you Bernd. So "S5R5 search progress" is actuallt "Work creation progress" |

Posted 1318 days ago by Tomas According to the Server Status page all the wu's are crunched so the question is why can I still download S5R5 wu's? Is there some kind of beta test going on? S5R5 search progress Total needed Already done Work still remaining 10,949,633 units 10,949,633 units 0 units 100 % 100.000 % 0.000 % 273.9 days 273.9 days 0.0 days (estimated) |

Posted 1322 days ago by Tomas Nice one! Poor chap will probably be labelled a 'denier' now! No wonder people don't trust scientists any more - after the Cold War, Y2K, black holes at the LHC .... Maybe it is the same people that regard 'The Economist' as a scientific source ;) |

ATI or Nvidia, any guesses for GPU?

Posted 1350 days ago by Tomas Thank you Bikeman. I have to take a deeper look in how the detector actually works. |

Posted 1350 days ago by Tomas I just speculating here but I could imagine that a double precision based calculation will translate in a higher resolution of the wavelength that are being analyzed so I wonder what the precision of the GW detector is when it measure the wavelength of the light? |

Does Einstein@home use double precision crunching? If not the double precision crunching in hadware capability of the ATI card will have no advantage. |
