You are still posting retarded, stupid remarks. This is one.

And it shows that you will *never* catch on.

You and your little conversation with someone in the industry is 100% made up bullshit, BOY.

No need to discuss anything with a story bitch. Spout off another story, bitch.

Same gear as now. Traffic controllers and the tech inside is the same as it was in the '70s.

Your immaturity shows with each and every retarded LOLygag you spout, boy.

No it would not. Current lights are very expensive lamp tubes on very expensive AC HOT lamp tube mounting sockets in a triple overpriced POS '70s tech crap street light. Same s*it been around forever.

An LED version WITH a battery would take up the same lamp head space and be CHEAPER than the crap the maker has been ripping of the American people with for DECADES.

You are not even any good at counting beans, BOY. You are dirt dumb.

Huh, weird. What does (+0) + (-0) = ?

George H.

It's the opposite sign result that you get when (-0) + (+0) is calculated, so THAT'S all right. Other situations, though, it gets... confusing.

The ceramic package 486 chips make excellent X-acto knife sharpeners.

I agree with you on this. It was a stupid remark to say you were catching on to anything.

I wonder what a shrink would label your disorder. You literally know nothing of the situation and yet you insist what I am saying is crap.

The city owns and maintains the traffic lights on it's roads. However, the main drag through the city is a state road. The state reimburses the city for maintaining the traffic control devices on the state road.

Is that simple enough for you to understand?

I would be more worried about the results from

(+0) - (-0) = ? and (-0) - (+0) = ?

I guess the point is mathematically (+0) and (-0) are the same, they only d iffer in the representation in the machine. So it makes the circuitry a bi t harder to construct for these cases.

That's conflating simulation and dissimulation.

One generally accurately agrees with empirical observation, the other doesn't. One's based on accurate models of known physical processes, the other isn't.

However much group-think rightly points out that all simulations are equal, we mustn't forget that some simulations are more equal than others. :)

It might be possibly unreasonable if both simulations were equally founded on accurate models of known physical processes, and had equal histories of closely predicting empirical observations.

But Spice is based on models carefully tested and characterized against real devices, with millions of hours of experience. The climate stuff hinges on a pile of twiddle-factors and rules-of-thumb.

At least that's what I saw when I downloaded the FORTRAN for one of them some years ago. (Spaghetti code. The tortured manifesto of a confused mind crying for help. And no comments.)

Yes. But clouds don't.

Bill Gates sank OS/2 with dirty tricks. A giant OS/2 selling point was that you could multi-task (Windows couldn't), yet run your Windows apps.

So, Microsoft added a "I smell OS/2" trap to Windows that generated a vague "compatibility" warning when starting a Windows session under OS/2. That scared everyone away; OS/2 tanked.

Microsoft denied it. Then Dr. Dobb's Journal published a logic analyzer capture of the self-modifying encrypted landmine in action.

Confronted, Microsoft 'fessed it was there, but 'accidentally.' By then OS/2's reputation had been damaged beyond repair.

I fell for it. I bought a copy of OS/2 direct from IBM, but, concerned about the 'compatibility' warning rage, never installed it. Gate's fake issue got me.

I've been using the same X-acto blade my friend Ray gave me, for forty years. It's still virgin, still surgically sharp.

Thanks Intel!

Some sims are parts-per-million accurate. Some are absolute nonsense. One trick lies in knowing which is which.

Yes, I should have credited you with the trick.

Get a real scalpel type utility knife and real scalpel blades made from real high grade steels. It is worth the extra cash. And they are far more precise.

Oh and a diamond grit $2.00 nail file does a better job.

Spice simulates circuits that one can build and test, so empirical observat ion is easy.

Climate modelling tries to match the existing climate in general - the butt erfly effect means that it can't match a specific situation for longer than ten days - so it's a different ball game. Despite the whinging of the deni alist propaganda machine, it is still worth doing.

Wrong. Climate simulation is based on accurate models of known physical pro cesses. The difficulty is that the systems being modelled are chaotic so yo u can't have accurate predictions for periods longer than about ten days.

The climate system is thermodynamically constrained so if you run enough lo ng term models you can get a pretty accurate idea of what the climate is go ing to look like in the long term, which is worth doing. The denialist lobb y has a large financial interest in ignoring these results, and James Arthu r and John Larkin seem happy to forget this.

That misrepresents climate modelling. James Arthur has got money from the K och brothers, whose fortune depends on the fossil carbon fuel industry bein g able to keep on selling fossil carbon as fuel.

Actually code from a graduate students' programming sandbox - part of the C limategate files which he's been misrepresenting as a research grade clima te simulations ever since. I've called him on it before, but he keeps on ly ing about it.

If that is true then CONTROL of said lights is not ANYTHING they would argue over.

Is THAT simple enough for you, you dippy f*ck?

Spice fails tests against real devices, if you know where to look, and 'climate stuff' hinges on a thing I saw in a math lecture once, 'the fundamental theorem of weather'...

Spice was Fortran in version 2F5, and not terribly readable. I had to edit and recompile some of it (to use models made with lowercase lettering) but that might have been 40 years ago.

I'm dubious that the C rewrites are better commented or more readable (refer to the Obfuscated C contest for a bit of perspective).
