The size of the gallon was actually different depending on contents at one point. The US gallon was the size used for wine, and the Imperial was that for beer IIRC.
I just retired my old WRT54GL at the weekend with a nice cheap Asus RT-N16, running TomatoUSB. It doesn't have 5GHz support, but then I don't have anything that uses it yet. So far it's been a really good replacement.
No, that was in Return of the Jedi after she gets captured trying to rescue Hans who was frozen in Empire. It's still the worst of the three films, despite the bikini.
It is easer to deflect an asteroid that's far away. But isn't a big part of the problem getting the probe to the asteroid while it's _still_ far away? After the asteroid has been detected, the international agreements signed to do something about it, there's still the journey time of the probe getting there while it's still possible to do something useful.
If people did see police kill this guy and dump in the street, how willing would they be to come forward and publically corroborate it? I know I wouldn't be. Expect people to keep quiet.
There's a reason that "rocket science" is used as an idiom to indicate something that's extremely hard, you know.
The last time I heard a rocket scientist talking about his subject, he said it's pretty straight forward, and in fact "rocket science really wasn't rocket science":)
I think fertilizer is mainly natural gas based, not oil. But it might as well be since the costs are interlinked. But pesticides and herbicides are oil based, not to mention the diesel used in all the farm equipment, and transportation of course.
So we're basically fine as long as oil doesn't become really expensive, or worse, the demand outstrips supply... Teaching your kids how to grow their own food by hand is probably a good idea.
Not quite. They're using the full desktop chipset on that board. The Atom also works with the lower power 945GSE chip that's used by the Acer Aspire One, MSI Wind etc. You can't currently get a motherboard that has the lower power chipset yet.
I couldn't agree more. Hopefully he'll get pulled over for dangerous driving before anyone gets hurt. Someone who thinks it's okay to risk other peoples lives over an opinion doesn't deserve to have a driving license.
There's a lot more to the problem than simply the potential chemical energy available. Coal is cheap because it's a very dirty source of energy and is in little demand to oil. I don't know what the additional energy costs are for turning it into oil, providing the water needed, disposing of the waste created, etc, but I know it's not favorable compared to just pumping oil from the ground. Plus I'm sure coal prices won't stay low once you start using it in earnest. Requiring clean water pretty much makes it a non-starter given it's dwindling availability.
To stave off a peak in supply, you have to be able to scale your production of coal-oil to make up for the inevitable shortfall in easy oil. Peak oil is far from an availability problem, it's a production problem primarily.
The easy oil is going or gone, what is left is harder to get and so is likely to cause a reduction in supply. You need to keep increasing production year on year, with your raw material having to be mined. 85 million barrels of oil a day world wide is a lot of oil to have to replace, let alone top as consumption continues to increase.
You seem to be forgetting (deliberately?) that oil is primarily used as an energy _source_. Sure, you can make it artificially. But when it takes more energy to make that than it contains it is no longer an energy source, it's an energy _sink_. But don't let that worry your head in the sand.
How far back does this push peak oil? Lets do some math.
Assuming 1 billion (1000 million) barrels available, all of which can be extracted successfully before peak:
The last daily figure for world oil consumption was around 85 million barrels. 1000/85 = 12 days
So with all fingers crossed, it's been delayed by less than a fortnight. Hurray!

Hops, alcohol, and the carbon dioxide dissolved in it are all going to help stop unwanted bacteria from growing in beer.
The last government who agreed to sign us up for the treaty is also despised for its lack of backbone.
It used mplayer on the original version that ran on Xbox, but moved to DVDPlayer later when it became multi-format IIRC.

I don't remember any category 1 languages.
The category 1 language is, of course, the universal language of luuve.
Good bandwidth, but I think SA pigeon latency will be a bit of an issue thought. Playing L4D might be a bit on the choppy side...
