Geolocation is another reason ncr is useful, when using VPNs.

I'm pretty much in the same situation - problem is just adding /ncr to the URL is easy to remember, especially when not on your own computer, ?gfe_rd=cr&gws_rd=cr doesn't exactly s…

A useful feature of google search is ncr, no country redirect, which prevents geolocation redirection to the localized home page. Useful if you travel a lot, only want results in E…

There's a nice model of a gyro monorail shown in the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGYXJjRfgTM I may be possible to do the same with Lego Mindstorms - certainly you c…

No evidence was found of wrong-doing at the Climate Research Unit. The only result was it provided a source of comments to be taken out of context by climate sceptics. Which is exa…

> The above graph is the source data for the famous "Hockey Stick" graph. The one below it is similar data taken from another location (IIRC one was taken in Arizona, the other Cal…

You can find NOAA's current climate model here, with source code, compile scripts, and sample data: http://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/cm2-5-and-flor However, as mrow84 points out, you will …

> That means it has to treat the globe as a grid of 18 mile cubes Although this is made somewhat easier in that the vertical component is done in pressure "levels", somewhat simpli…

The title suggests this is unusual, but it's not really. The simplest way to look at a glacier's changes over time is mass balance. A glacier accumulates mass, principally from sno…

The distance between New York and Washington DC is about 225 miles and takes just over 4 hours by car. Assuming a dedicated high speed rail line based on highway distances, at the …

Now corrected.

Given the subject, would it be amiss to point out that the title as written here is missing a comma?

It's Stefan Rahmstorf, Professor of Ocean Physics at the Potsdam Institute.

I missed that discussion, thanks, although this link is a better read than the bloomberg article. To add to this post though, there is an interview with one of the researchers (Lew…

That's a little unfair to later generals as the nature of warfare has changed. No longer is the general the king, emperor, consul, tribal leader, etc. One of Hitler's mistakes* was…

Wellington couldn't come to Blücher's aid as Napoleon blocked him with his left wing under Ney at Quatre Bras. Your argument seems to be coming from the historical revisionism that…

Khalid ibn al-Walid Some others, often overlooked from a Western viewpoint, would be Subutai, Timur the Lame (Tamerlane), Belisarius, Zhukov, and Suleiman I. There are more. Arguab…

Strictly speaking that should be association football, although everyone calls it football outside the US of course. "Football" existed before, but simplifying somewhat, just about…

When you say "translations" I assume you mean just the admin. But does Wagtail support multilingual websites (nothing seems to be in the docs)?

It's a problem of how fast. If the Earth's climate slowly changed over thousands of years, we could probably adapt. Fast climatic changes would be a problem as the biosphere would …

In the current ice age, the cycle between glacials and inter-glacials is primarily driven by variations in the Earth's orbit, and therefore the distribution of incoming solar radia…
