My next post had to do with Freeman Dyson's visit to Portland. http://mybizmo.blogspot.com/2009/12/freeman-dyson-in-portland.html He's quite conservative, like NASA, about saying we know precious little how sunspot cycles impact global climate, wasn't jumping into that "Maunder Minimum" debate except to say we still aren't that sure how the sun works (relationship to Earth another set of issues). He also wondered if global warming means the Sahara might return to lushness, as per 6K years ago, but he wasn't pretending to know the answer. http://www.livescience.com/history/060720_sahara_rains.html edu-sig has been blissfully *not* about this topic. I only bring it up because of our crossing paths earlier (here in cyberia on that WE list) and because of the "Dutch engineer" meme, which relates to the Python work I'm doing, at least tangentially. Note how even the math-teachers are likewise obsessed (losing focus): http://mathforum.org/kb/thread.jspa?threadID=2017705&tstart=0 whereas they *should* be talking about what *I* want to talk about (grin): http://controlroom.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-radical.html Kirby > > >> >> -- >> Edward Mokurai (默雷/धर्ममेघशब्दगर्ज/دھرممیگھشبدگر ج) Cherlin >> Silent Thunder is my name, and Children are my nation. >> The Cosmos is my dwelling place, the Truth my destination. >> http://www.earthtreasury.org/ >> _______________________________________________ >> Edu-sig mailing list >> Edu-sig@python.org >> http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig > > > > -- > >>> from mars import math > http://www.wikieducator.org/Digital_Math > -- >>> from mars import math http://www.wikieducator.org/Digital_Math _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list Edu-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
