Thanks for your help. It seems now the problem somewhere deeper in my
test-cases :-
BTW, while experimenting I've found resolv not able to resolve LAN names.

BTW2, I've also found ruby1.9's Resolv fails with unicode errors (reading
etc/hosts) on Russian Windows XP :)

Hmm. Maybe a bug report?

If you're worried the problem is XP then I suppose there's
virtualbox+linux or andLinux or what not.
Take care!

But what about global temperature???
Why are you ignoring it?

After A Decade Of NO WARMING, Here Come The Excuses

Oct 28 2011

Finally the warmists are facing up a problem that so many in the media
refused to even acknowledge:

Barnes had uncovered a piece of a puzzle that has provoked, frustrated and
focused climate scientists over the past half decade. It is a mystery that
has given cover to forces arrayed against the reality of human-driven global
warming. And it is a question that can be easily stated: Why, despite
steadily accumulating greenhouse gases, did the rise of the planet's
temperature stall for the past decade?

"If you look at the last decade of global temperature, it's not increasing,"
Barnes said. "There's a lot of scatter to it. But the climate models go up.
And that has to be explained. Why didn't we warm up?"

http://www.eenews.net/public/Greenwire/20...

Judith Curry has not much sympathy for the excuses being trotted out by some
alarmists.

After citing some, she concludes:

Well thank you IPCC authors for letting us know what is really behind that
"very likely" assessment of attribution 20th century warming.

A lot of overbloated over confidence that cannot survive a few years of
cooling.

The light bulbs seem to be just turning on in your heads over the last two
years. Think about all the wasted energy fighting the "deniers" when they
could have been listening, trying to understand their arguments, and making
progress to increase our understanding of the causes of climate variability
and change.

"It is a remarkable fact that despite the worldwide expenditure of perhaps
US$50 billion since 1990, and the efforts of tens of thousands of scientists
worldwide, no human climate signal has yet been detected that is distinct
from natural variation."

Bob Carter, Research Professor of Geology, James Cook University, Townsville

"A major problem has been the co-option of climate science by politics,
ambition, greed, and what seems to be a hereditary human need for a
righteous cause."

"What better cause than "saving" the planet, especially if one can get
ample, secure funding at the same time?"

William Happer, Cyrus Fogg Brackett Professor of Physics, Princeton
University.

"The claim is that the temperature has changed from ~288.0 to ~288.8?K in
about 150 years, which, if true, means to me that the temperature has been
amazingly stable, and both human health and happiness have definitely
improved in this 'warming' period,".

method has been dispensed with, or abused, to serve the myth of man-made
global warming."

show evidence of AGW, and the "scientists" go to work to produce such a

<Start extract>

This past summer, Robert Kaufmann, the BU geographer, made waves when
he released a modeling study suggesting that the hiatus in warming
could be due entirely to El Ni?o and increased sulfates from China's
coal burning. While the figures Kaufmann used for the study were based
on the country's coal combustion, and not actual emissions -- a big
point of uncertainty -- many scientists saw some truth in his
assertions.

<snip>

Kaufmann's findings may only be relevant for so long. Since 2006,
China has begun to mandate scrubbers for its coal-fired power plants,
though it is uncertain how often the scrubbers, even when installed,
are operated. But change is coming, said Daniel Jacob, an atmospheric
chemist at Harvard University.

"The sulfate sources have been leveling off, because they've been
starting to put serious emission controls on their power plants,"
Jacob said. "It's interesting. When you look at the future emission
scenarios from the [next U.N. climate report], you see SO2 emissions
dropping like a rock, even in the coming decades. Because basically
China is going to have to do something about its public health
problem."

More scrubbers -- good news for the Chinese, but not for short-term
warming.

"You could have a repeat of the rapid warming of 1980s and 1990s,"
Kaufmann said.

Excuses, excuses, ...

What were "the (totally useless) models" and ALL the leftist/warmist whackos
saying?
Let me guess ...
