From page 46...
... Practically, agencies and program managers often require multi-institutional collaboration. An NSF-sponsored study of virtual organizations, however, suggested that projects involving multiple universities produced fewer knowledge outcomes than those involving a single institution.

From page 47...
... Today, chip density on central processing units (CPUs) is doubling about every 18 months, network speeds double every eight months, and disk capacity doubles nearly annually with little or no increase in cost for a physical unit.

... The longest instrumental record may be the central England temperature composite going back to 1659. Useful global atmospheric records have been taken since World War I, global ocean measurements began in the 1990s, adequate ice measurements started five years ago, synoptic sea surface temperature measurements from satellites began 30 years ago, atmospheric CO2 measurements are fifty years old, satellite altimetry measurements started 15 years ago and deep ocean physical measurements have only begun.
