Buy your soildering iron toaster ovens at good will! Not only does the money go to helping the poor, but you are helping keep usable appliances out of our landfills! Besides, with all the nasty stuff in the water based soldier, i doubt you'd want to cook with it afterwards. If you mod me up, mod me as informative, not funny; I'm being serious here, help out your local charity.
lol. i think they tried that idea out in the latest bond film. i'd pay good money to see that sort of thing in action in real life. a hell of a lot cheaper to make "surgical strikes" on certian iraqi targets. just refill it with a couple of new tanks of pressurized gas and solar panels every couple of months.
considering that biomass would really fuck up the filters sucking in the water.... a series of progressively smaller and smaller nets in a 60 ft radius around the inlet for the warm water, along with a loudspeaker making noises of predators should prove decent enough to keep out 99% of sea life that might clog up the area. as for the cold water, plankton only swim near the surface, from what i understand. cold water is retrieved from 60-100 feet below the surface, at least.
won't most of the nitrogen be released when the water is boiled and evaporated? if not then, wouldn't the nitrogen boil out of the solution as it approaches sea level, much as it does in your blood when scuba-diving? there might be a considerable amount of nitrogen left in the return water, so long as the return water is sufficently distanced from the coast (say, 3 miles), you are pretty much out of the range of sea life and nutrients for life to live on, all of the things needed for sea life only exist out to the first mile and a half or so when it comes to the ocean coast, so as long as the water output isn't released into an ocean current moving towards the coast, you should be good to go. if all else fails, pump the water back to near the same depth that you got it from to keep the nitrogen in the solution.
nice troll. he didn't claim a complete knowledge of the subject, and was hoping for some specific awnsers. you obviously haven't done this and are just adding to the noise everyone who enjoys slashdot keeps complaining about.
the quick and easy way i tell people to remember the difference between the two is fission is splitting the S apart, while fusion is putting them back together. it's only psuedo technically correct, but then again if the person is having difficulty telling them apart, they're not going to be particularly concerned with the technicalities of why that's not the perfect analogy.
how about a kilometer radius circle of glass that sits about 15 feet off the ground with no walls other than support beams, in the middle sits a kilometer high concrete tube, inside of it are multiple generator turbines. as the sun heats up the air underneath the glass, it moves to a low-pressure zone, the top of the concrete tube, where the ambient air temperature is nearly twenty degrees lower than at ground level; and somthing to the effect of 60 degrees (farenheight) difference between the top of the tube and under the glass. they want to build one of these out in the australian desert.
so long as you have an insulated pipe of any length going to a deep part of the ocean, you should be good to go, once you get the water moving, partial capilary action should keep energy used for water pumping at a minimum. i am not sure how far the gently sloping beaches extend into the water of the pacific before diving deeper, but a pipe a half mile in length should be able to suck sufficiently cold water for the system. this should work anywhere south of washington state (a.k.a. california). at least, that's how my uneducated self thinks.
i regularly wear my contacts for two weeks straight, although i should be taking them out nightly. if i start getting eye strain earlier in the day than normal, or any other symptoms that i am pushing it with my contacts, i go ahead and take them out and let them soak for a few days. i'm sure other people do this too.
well by that logic, you could just stick pure THC in a gell capsule and a glass of water. unfortunately, THC is heat-activated, which is why you see it baked into brownies and whatnot (Still warm) and smoked (hot THC vapors)...which means unless your average body temp is somewhere around 190 F, you're gonna be SOL.
LSD might work, although that's a sight (no pun intended) more illegal than mary jane
a nicotine patch is what immediately came to mind.... although as nasty as nicotine is, you might go blind wearing even a low concentration "patch" on your eyeball...
well you had mentioned that one of the major problems was getting a semi-steady power source, and that your motorcycle engine, over a wide range of revs, would produce different amounts of current, and whatnot. this should at least help you in the slightly more predictable current department (assuming a fairly sunny day each day). it might be worth it to invest in a second small 12v battery and charge the G3book off the battery that is being charged by the solar 12v trickle charger via a 12v adaptor for your powerbook. i am using a similar setup for my PSOne, sans the trickle charger, 12v motorcylce sized battery from radio shack, cigarette lighter adaptor, and a 12v adaptor for my PSOne, and then the PSOne attached to that. your setup would be similar, but with a solar trickle charger charging the battery and a powerbook and cigarette lighter adaptor for your powerbook (i know they make one for my tibook, and pretty sure they have one for a g3 powerbook). this would keep the ducati from being bogged down by the charging off the alternator, if nothing else. if you wanted to, you might be able to run both batteries in paralell/series (i forget which one simply gives you added capacity w/o doubling voltage) for better reliabilty of the system overall at the cost of increasing the complexity of your system signifigantly. or you could just add the solar trickle charger to your existing battery with a logic switch attached to the charging line to your battery with a switch that would give juice to the laptop via a cigarette lighter adaptor only when it was fairly bright out with a light meter, or an "angle meter" when the bike is going downhill, so that the engine is only charging when going downhill and you're not overstressing your engine and alternator. ok i'm done rambling. i'll check out that site hopefully in 18 months.
in an airline magazine, and probably elsewhere, you can find a solar 12v car battery trickle charger, it is roughly 5x18" and maybe 3mm thick. they run about $100, and while you wouldn't be trickle charging the battery off of the engine any more, it would likely be more reliable overall. maybe that will help some. what website will you be posting your updates to?
have some soft wax for her to carry around, stick a dab on whatever she needs to sign, stick her signet ring in it, leaves an impression of her initials, and poof, you have a legally binding contract. romans did this for nearly a thousand years, maybe more.
I use OWA every day at UT Arlington, it works flawless for me on 98, 2000, XP and OS X. This is, of course, when I'm not at my personal computer downloading emails to mail.app. For some blasted reason you can only send email through the university servers when you're physically connected to the univ network via STMP or whatever. I can't use mail.app to send email from my offcampus apartment. fuck. so i have to log in and turn off pop up window protection in chimera/navigator/camino to send mail via the web interface.
i hate having to delete all my sent/recieved email with attachements. could they make deleting email any less intutitve?
all in all it works for me and the rest of campus of 22-23 thousand people + faculty. what was the question again?
none of the TVs our family had in 1992 had RCA in when i got my super nintendo, they all still used composite in, but it still came a multi-out that is compatible with the N64, and GameCube. Hell, the original Nintendo came with RCA outs for video and audio... that makes it alot easier to hook up to modern televisions now that people are pulling these systems out 10, 20 years after their inception. I would be very suprised to see HDTV-out missing from the PS3, especially if it's slated to be on the market and dominating it for four years after it's release (2008), and then another 2 years as a "pocket" system (ala the PSOne)
isn't minneapolis in minnisota? i guess i'd have an inferiority complex if college students didn't know where my semi-large city was, either. i'm guessing minnisota is near the great lakes. i grew up in gig harbor, personally. not too many have heard of it, but it's a nice place in washington state.
have you ever been to berkley? in the last 15 years? there's an enormous population of asians in the bay area, that's where alot of taiwanese people end up settling down, not the rest of the US, although their numbers are growing elsewhere nowadays, especially just north of dallas.

so the surface tension holds it on and whatnot, the page says it's due to electric whosamacallit. what would happen if you made a square consisting of two opposite sides made of metal, and two opposite sides of a nonconductive material such as plastic? I suppose you'd have to add a small mineral content to make it conductive, but would it increase the total surface tension to the point of giving resistance to pressure, or would it decrease it, causing a short circut and blowing water droplets everywhere?
I think Duct Tape is the generic term, even though it's not actually used for (heating) ducts, as the adhesive has a tendancy to melt. They use a type of aluminized super tape for duct work.
Anyways, there's a bit of a blur between generic Duct Tape and Duck Brand Duct Tape, although I think the company in that case was named in correlation with their primary product.
Splitting hairs: Maybe I missed the humor, but I read this as "I (verbed) the (plural nouns) on the (noun)", which to me is two generic meanings, unless you count nouns and plural nouns as two completely seperate forms.
well according to CmdrTaco's Journal entry..."most Slashdot stories are posted several minutes before they are live on the mainpage. Of course, major breaking news goes live instantly... and that would still be true. All that would chance is that subscribers could theoretically see the normal scheduled stories some amount of time early. I don't know what that window is. 10 minutes? 30 minutes? And of course, these stories would be clearly marked as stories that are under construction, subject to change, or even deletion."
and he goes on to talk about subscription people would get to read slashdot stories earlier than everyone else, thus bypassing the slashdot effect to some extent
