Multiple your 4 oz per day by lets say 1billion, and then work out what the saving would be if we could drive this world wide, and that's per day, take that figure to a year!
Once again, the inability of Americans to let go of the imperial system has lead to a disaster, if only the bottle had been marked metric then Gerard Depardieu would have known how much it held!
Companies going bankrupt is the invisible hand of the free market, they overproduced and stockpiled, based of forecasted growth, the real shame here is the closing line of the summery showing how we never really want to learn, saying demand is looking good for the next 5-10 years, their are no certain bets.
Its amazing what technology the spy game brings forth, one has to wonder how much this really cost, considering they haven't declassified that yet? The cost would of been huge, not just in the $ sense, but in the fact that all those specialist from different fields where taken to develop just this one project for so long.
It dose seem odd, that if the amount is so high that it hasn't been declassified, why they went ahead with it when the SR71's were in use, or was this a bit of a power-play between different branches of the government not sharing or not wanting to give up control over something.
Looks like a rather natural cycle, with about a 100k period, with our current high period being an extended one, but it goes back almost 15 thousand years, and yes their are higher peeks.
I wonder why this was moded down, as the GP above, it dose make a valid point, though its more on the side that I viewed it as an easy task and put no effort into it. I do remember talking with my parents about what it was like when they when through school and it was a lot of memorising facts and figures, and the idea of the bonus complex reasoning questions I used to get at the end of tests was viewed with scepticism.
It was hard to believe anyone would needed a calculator for 47 * 3,
Though I got the triangle one wrong, but realised it as soon as I clicked to get the answers, Its been too long since I used any real graph, I forgot I would only be putting one axis into the negative!
Moral of the story, put your high paid (but not needed for day to day operations) staff on the ground floor and your important manufacturing facilities with all the massively expensive equipment on the upper levels.
From experience, I can say both AC and DC can throw you.. maybe not always, but with two shocks, one from each, both where throw back events..
One from a worn 240 volt stranded power cable, and the other from a 1990 circa Apple monitors' main capacitor.. Both sent me back about 2 meters with a real jolt, though the DC hurt more, but it was one hell of a large capacitor.
Larry Niven and Douglas Adams, I have a massive list of writers to start reading, like my list of TV shows to start to watch, one day I will get moving on it all.
Its toires like that which bring a smile.. I allways had that though about Afra running though my head, its just the way he pops into 'The Rowan' and seems so out of place in an overshadowing way, and the way the Rowan her self seems to step back out of the light.
I started on Anne McCaffery's works with a older hard cover of Dragonsdawn, and then went straight to the library a few days later and got out the rest one book at a time, and the good old internet alerted me to Red star rising coming out soon.. To fill in the time I started on The crystal singer series, when I finished that it was onto 'The tower and the hive'.
I am not ashamed to admit that the opening Paragraph of 'The Rowan' still makes me cry, even the first time I read it, weird, and thus the 'Tower and the hive' became my favorite series, and Damia is my favorite book of the lot.,
What a let down, I was hoping to see a visual guide to these, you know something like how many small European countries would need to be covered in Cray 1's to equal there power!
In unrelated news, university's all over the country have approved funding for new arts projects, with a unexpanded need for a large number of hidden surveillance type camera.
as we are using metric here and also talking Antarctica, that would come under Australian metric measurements, that would be measured in VSH - Volume of Sydney Harbour, and we all knows that's 562,000 megalitres (562 million cubic metres), as I don't know the average thickness of this piece of ice(the article seem to state it runs 50m thick, but is that an average or just the max?), I shall leave it to someone else to work out.
This would be an urban legend based off the original round 50 cent piece, that a short while after minting became worth more then its face value in silver, and hence why we don't put such base metals in coins these days.

I picked up two "50 watt" CFL's for under the house, man they work great! Its like having a couple of 300 watt spot lights!

We are currently at war with Eastasia, we have always been at war with Eastasia.

I don't know about the manslaughter charge, but I am pretty sure it is 7-10years for owning a Tamagochi!

I have herd many a story about the Aussie VS US army, and war games.. often wonder how true they are!
