FOlA judges: Secret 28 who made the BBC Green will not be named

Beeb is green?

Beeb is green? I still hear 'Farmers are spending less money heating their greenhouses' (implied 'Therefore global warming is great') on radio bus. programme promo.

Notwithstanding no evidence proffered -

Wonder why you live longer than a chimp? Thank your MOTHER IN LAW

Re: Great computer model

Of course it is only a model - because that is all that can be done.

There is no reason not to do it tho, - it will either reinforce the theory, detract from it, or add nothing to the debate.

In this case a result was achieved.

"So picking nits out of hair, not crapping in your own water supply, putting salves on wounds, taking a bath have only started happening in the past 100/0 years?" Yes, thats (approximately) true, for most of us.

Re: Great computer model

Lifetime extension due to medical advances has only been significant for abt 1% of the time theorised, really significant advances for about 0.2% of the time (~ 100 yrs)

There is no practical way to 'really test' hypothesis, but modelling the what ifs gives reasonably valid evidence - not proof, just 'best evidence to date'

Study the hypothesis & modelling, give some constructive criticism to make a better model. Let us applaud your 'good science'.

In the meantime, .............

4G? Pah! Boffins charge up the dial to 5G data EXTREME-band kit

"When FM radio came along it needed more space, so it sits around 88MHz in the "Very High Frequency" band which stretches to 300MHz."

It does now. Originally "FM radio was assigned the 42 to 50 MHz band of the spectrum in 1940" (wikipedia)

RCA needed to kill the business of Edwin Armstrong, inventor of FM, as he began to transmit in the 42 - 50 band. So RCA bribed the FCC commissioners with gifts of the 'new fangled' television sets to 'encourage them to change the FM band from the 42 to 50 Mhz band'.

FCC dutifully complied, and Armstrongs business collapsed, with both transmitters and receivers obsoleted. Then RCA, headed by David Sarnoff, Armstrongs 'best friend', (would you believe?) simply stole the invention & started manufacturing FM sets. Armstrong sued, but deeper pockets RCA kept appealing losses, instead of paying the damages. Ah, glorious capitalism!

Eventually Armstrong thought he had one last chance to win - he asked his wife to let him sell the apartment - she refused, he hit her, she walked out. Some weeks later he put on his hat & coat & went out - from the 13th floor window.

Sarnoff declared that he did not kill Armstrong, but quickly negotiated a settlement with Armstrongs widow. ('Gunna deal with you, or deal with yer widder?')

Sad fact is that most of RCA's deep pockets we due to its very profitable manufacture of Armstrongs previous amazing inventions - radios with feedback, regeneration, superheterodyning etc. Between crystal sets and high fidelity, most of the inventions are Armstrongs.

Armstrong played a significant part in winning WW1 by providing the allies with unjammable communications, when axis powers only had jammable FM.

Of course, things are much better for inventors now.

Pigs.

Perhaps, David, you could reconcile your measurements with the following.

Or is the needle stuck?

Re: vineyards and ice fairs

" It had many narrow arches, and thus many thick supports in mid-stream, which slowed the river down considerably, making it much more likely to freeze."

BS. Many narrow arches & thick supports mid stream SPEED UP the river.

To slow down the river you have to REDUCE the volume or INCREASE the channel cross section.

Intel comes out swinging against $1.3bn European fine

INVENTORS - DO NOT TRUST INTEL!!!

INVENTORS - DO NOT TRUST INTEL

I invented a CPU cooler - 3 times better than best - better than water. Intel have major CPU cooling problems - "Intel's microprocessors were generating so much heat that they were melting" (iht.com) - try to talk to them - they send my communications to my competitor & will not talk to me.

Winners of major 'Corporate Social Responsibility' awardS!!!

Huh!!!!

When did RICO get repealed?"

INVENTORS - DO NOT TRUST INTEL!!!

BTW, I have the evidence - my competitor gave it to me.

BBTW, I am prepared to apologise to Intel if;

• They can show that the actions were those of a single individual within the company, but acting outside corporate policy, and:

• They gain redress on my behalf.
