I suspect they are more concerned with someone damaging a boom or interfering with operations of a response vessel than hurting themselves. Get a little close, turn the wrong way and now your prop is chewing through the boom. They have enough problems as it is, they don't need clumsy people screwing things up worse.
If a photographer can't get the picture they want from 65 feet away, they need to find another line of work. I just play with cameras, but I've got a lens that, on a clear cold night, can get a decent picture of the flipping moon. No, didn't cost a fortune. Less that a grand actually.
Thanks for the clarification Sean. I managed to avoid organic chemistry in college thus avoiding discussion of anything with too many carbon atoms. Thankfully it wasn't required for my branch of engineering.:) I only remembered the wood alcohol thing from a news item when I was a child many decades ago and had no idea there was a distinction to be made between ethanol and methanol. As for avoiding the oral consumption of the stuff, around here they add it to normal gasoline (likely with some needed additives to make it stay in solution). I suspect that for most people the odd flavor would curtail such notions. Of course there will always be a few...
If I remember correctly, wood alcohol will kill you. I suppose that using this new method might make something that won't kill, but I'd certainly check first before making that martini.
As we all learned in Econ 101, if you decrease availability you push the price up. This is not to say that the higher price goes to the farmer, unless you are a large corporate owned farm where the corporation owns the distribution chain.
You will get no argument from me that the Options markets are parasitic, but they can only hold prices up for so long before the increased prices cause surplus goods and thus push prices down which cause options contracts to become very costly to the investors who manipulated the market. Having an alternate use for the food, like the production of ethanol, only helps the speculators hold the price higher. Since these same people are the ones who invest in things like ethanol plants, they can help themselves by building more ethanol capacity and getting government regulations in place to force more ethanol into the fuel supplies.
Any way you look at it, family farmers and the poor (and yes most poor work and work hard) end up getting screwed again by large multi-national corporations and the politicians they buy.
That was the point of the first sentence, that it was a good thing they were finding alternative sources rather than cutting into the food supply. The second sentence is with respect to growing wheat and corn specifically to create fuel, thus taking that land out of food production which these new technologies would help to offset. It is not only happening in the heartland of America, but in third world countries where large corporate owned farms are not growing food for the local population, but are instead growing starch to convert to fuel.
I'm sorry this wasn't as obvious as I thought it was.
I couldn't do it myself in a week, just too slow I guess. And no, if I have to share the money with other people, they can buy the hardware from other funds. Besides they would want military hardware and that will cost $1,000,000! Or more!
Yes, of course. But how many 3 ton Suburbans do you see on the freeway during "rush" hour idling in stopped traffic with a single guy in it wearing a tie. He is not going to a construction job, hauling a load of bricks or a pallet of 50 25# sacks of tile grout, he is likely a financial analyst for some insurance company just trying to make it to the office. If he uses the capability of the vehicle ever, it is to move the boat from storage to the marina in the spring and haul it back to storage in the fall, something he could hire done for 1/100th of the cost of the Suburban. The number of these vehicles that are actually used to capacity is very small compared to the number sold. When they are, they are usually white and not "Amber Mist" and they have vinyl seats not leather and the come with an AM/FM radio not an eight channel sound system with dual sub-woofers. And they don't have $8000 worth of wheels and tires on them.
Back in the day, when I still had a strong back and worked putting up grain silos in eastern Montana, the company had a big, brown, 4 door, F350. When this thing went anywhere, it was loaded with a dozen large steel jack supports, a generator, a pile of electric impact tools, about 40 gallons of ice water, 4 or 5 workers and towing a trailer that had a big hydraulic pumping system with a dozen 4 foot long cylinders and about 400 feet of hose. This thing deserved to get 10 miles to the gallon, it provided value when it went anywhere. They also had a little Ford Courier that was used when only one or two people needed to go someplace or something small needed to be moved. While this thing didn't get anywhere near 50 mpg, it got way over 10. If they could have gotten a 50 mpg vehicle that would have held up to country roads in the mid 70's, they would have gotten one in a heart beat, because even though gas was under $1 per gallon, it would have paid off quickly because they racked up LOTS of miles. Eastern Montana is a big place and nothing is near anything else when you get out where they grow wheat.
Yes, context does matter. If you see someone who actually needs such a vehicle driving a Hummer, you have dropped into an alternate universe because it doesn't happen in real life.
So, you are saying she was f&%$&^#% blind? Look, see, not safe, don't walk = normal thought process. Look, see, not safe, keep walking = f#&@^$ stupid.
When did the republican mantra become "Spend Baby Spend". Oh, wait, they do like to spend don't they, it's the paying the bills part of it they have a problem with.
They are basically telling you that once you leave the office you are to forget about work. No reading email from home, or the road (unless using a company machine). If they want you to read email from home they need to buy you a machine with which to do so. Bill them for the power it consumes! No longer bring your computer to work. If they cannot provide proper equipment, you will just have to work slower. It's all quite simple really, put the burden on the hospital to make it all work, it's not your job or your problem.
Just one question though, do they want to encrypt the Micro SD card in your Droid as well?
I have no idea what the Lab Manual is like, sounds interesting, but there is not description on Amazon. The Student Manual, from the description on Amazon, sounds like it might be a good start but will not have the depth of the original book.
I concur on The Art of Electronics. It contains most of the information I received in two+ years of Electrical Engineering classes. It starts out slow with the basics, this is a resistor, this is a capacitor, this is an inductor and the like. Scanning through my (now 21 year old) second edition, about the only area it doesn't cover that I got in school is power, but then power is not electronics.
If you are not interested in getting an engineering degree to do some DIY electronics, I'd suggest two places to start: 1. Make: magazine. Regular articles on electronic control circuits with some good information on how they work. (and many other great things I might add) 2. The Encyclopedia of Electronic Circuits, Rudolf F. Graf. (now called Volume 1, since they put out 6 more over the years) It has almost 100 simple to complex circuits with descriptions of what they do, but not much about how. To get the how, get The Art of Electronics and plan on reading a lot of the first 100 pages and then using it for a reference each time you try to decipher what some circuit is doing.
This is so far beyond the simple CNC (read paper tape here) controlled mills we has access to when I started collage. Absolutely amazing. Watching it tilt both the product and the mill in different directions while the mill cutter was inserted into a cavity struck me as a little scary. It looked like it was going to snap the tool off. The compute horse power in this thing must be huge and the designers must have had a blast with developing this product.

Let's see, a pen can be used to write a note to be handed to a bank teller during a robbery. Therefore, the pen must be illegal. Works for me... :)

From the list of things they were using to produce the fuel, I'm guessing the compost pile.

I'm sorry this wasn't as obvious as I thought it was.
of not actually decreasing the food supply and driving up the cost of staples such as grain and sugar.
Nothing like solving the energy issues for the wealthy while letting the poor starve just a little faster.
I couldn't do it myself in a week, just too slow I guess. And no, if I have to share the money with other people, they can buy the hardware from other funds. Besides they would want military hardware and that will cost $1,000,000! Or more!
and I'll get some friends together and have a usable system up in a week. (Hardware extra!)

How much fuel is saved by replacing a vehicle that gets 10 MPG with one that gets 50 MPG?
So, you are saying she was f&%$&^#% blind? Look, see, not safe, don't walk = normal thought process. Look, see, not safe, keep walking = f#&@^$ stupid.
is she f&#%^g blind, just stupid or what. If you don't feel safe walking some place, DON'T WALK THERE!
Sadly true, sadly true...
When did the republican mantra become "Spend Baby Spend". Oh, wait, they do like to spend don't they, it's the paying the bills part of it they have a problem with.
Can you provide a link to a document on setting up such a key?
Thanks
