Is this basically the same process used in wood gasification? In a wood gasifier, wood turns to charcoal, to CO2 then to CO. This seems to be the same thing but using the sun as the heat source instead of hot burning charcoal.
The "40% more efficient gasoline engine" thing isn't new. See this 1979 article in Mother Earth News. [motherearthnews.com] Wikipedia h
Crowers invention has nothing to do with what you are talking about. The water injection described by Mother Earth News and wikipedia, is used soley to cool the piston so you can increase compression.
Crower actually built a 6 stroke engine. 4 regular strokes followed by 2 steam strokes. I don't know if it works, but it is totally different technology than what you linked to.
Why exactly to you believe the Hummer's lifespan is limited to 120,000 miles?
Consumer Reports has consistently ranked hummer low in reliability ratings. The Prius on the other hand has very good reliablity ratings.
A tax on incandescnt bulbs would be better. 90% of the lights in my house or CFL. But a few lights are incandescent. Those lights have the fancy shaped bulbs. As a kid I used incandescent bulbs to keep the chickens warm in the winter.There are a lot of niche areas where CFLs make no sense.
Don't outlaw incandescents, just tax them more. Then you get the energy savings and the minority of people that need incandescents can still legally get them.
but I assume that mercury is disposed of properly, unlike the mercury that is in your CFL bulb and ends up in the trash
Actually that mercury is spewed out into the atmosphere http://www.epa.gov/oar/mercuryrule/basic.htm
Since air contamination causes more health problems than ground contamination, I don't think mercury is much of an issue.
I remember reading that Gene Roddenberry had written a pilot back in the 70s about a postwar federation and a "lone" captain trying to bring the fedeation back together. That idea turned in Andromeda. I wonder how much Andromeda had on this idea?
A good point, but a better question is which is more power efficient: 1) running 4 old dontated computers or 2) building and manufacturing a new computer.
Very little oil is used in the production of electricity. Most oil is used in plastics, gasosline and other products.
I don't see how nuclear would cut dependence on oil much. Maybe it would cut our dependence on coal.
I think you are over estimating the intelligence of criminals. I like to watch COPS too. It drives me nuts when the cop stops a guy for a routine traffic stop then I see:
Cop: "Can I have permission to look in your truck:
Guy: "Uh, Uh, yah sure"
Cop: "Looky here, a pound of drugs"
Guy: "Uh, I don't know how it got there. Its my friends, uh I its not mine"
Frankly, before we get to the crazy frog, shooting all the MP critters who pushed this stupid law followed by a selective school run cull may be a better place to start.
I noticed a couple of mention to the "Crazy Frog" in the comments. For the US folks, what is that?
FISA only has a 15 day exception and Bush has gone way past that: "Notwithstanding any other law, the President, through the Attorney General, may authorize electronic surveillance without a court order under this subchapter to acquire foreign intelligence information for a period not to exceed fifteen calendar days following a declaration of war by the Congress."
In Hamdi v. Rumsfeld the Court said that presidential powers does not exceed or override the 4th amendment.
It doesn't matter what law Congress passes if it doesn't abide by the Constitution. The 4th Amendment is pretty clear:
" The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
See that part about "supported by Oath or affirmation" and "probably cause".
No resolution by Congress can trump the 4th Amendment. Only a Constitutional Amendment can. I don't see any other Amendment that give the president the right to violate the 4th amendment, do you?
Isn't another thing she is upset about is that it was illegal for her to discuss it with anyone? Even to talk to staff attorneys to see ask their opinion of the legality. Informing a congressman then saying, if you use this information we will put you in jail is almost as bad as not telling them in the first place.
The problem is not in keeping secrets from the general public. The problem is certain parts of the government keeping secrets from ELECTED officials. With the current administration a large number examples have popped up where elected officials where kept in the dark. When certain parts of the government hide information from elected officials, then the government looses any accountabilty. Without accountability then we don't have a democracy.
The current administrations secret wiretaps, prisons etc.. is a huge example. I am not so much upset that the general public didn't know, but my elected official sure as hell should have known about it.
Telling a witness to lie on the stand IS a crime. The lawyer SHOULD be disbarred. No matter what the RIAA says, a lawyer can not legally commit a crime like asking a witness to lie.
So yes, the RIAA lawyer should be disbarred and jailed.
2 of the soekris boards have cardbus slots. I have a net4511 with a PCMCIA USB 2.0 adapter. So USB 2 is easily done on the soekris. Even so, I would recommend a soekris board for handling a terrabyte of storage.
Um, the article is under the topic "Editorial", so your comments about "unbiased journalism" and "personal rants" don't relay make sense. Editorials ARE SUPPOSED to be biased. Wikipedia says "An editorial is a statement or article by a news organization (generally a newspaper) that expresses an opinion rather than attempting to simply report news, as the latter should ideally be done without bias."
So should slashdot and every other news outlet stop having editorials?
This is trotted out every time this discussion comes up...but no one can ever point to any specific "drug" or treatement that has had this happen. It is always this mystical unknown magic cure that is being with held so that the drug companies can make more money...
No!!! IT IS TRUE!!! I new this guy, who had friend, that worked for a company that had bought up the patents for a cure for cancer and for the 100MPG vapor carburator.
I think the question is more, is it a legalist loophole or your basic constitutional right. You have the write to question your accusure. In this case, is a machine and you should have the right to inspect how it works. It would be a very bad precedent to say we can never question the output of any machine. Also if you do a quick google on breathalyzer accuracy, you will find many articles explaining how facters other than alcohol can cause them to give high readings.
Even if they throw out the breathalyzer the defendants could still be convicted. A breathalyzer exam is only one piece of evidence. You have the testimony of the officer on the scene, results of any touch your nose and walk a line test, etc.
Also they admit to having software problems in the past CMI had to recall its devices in at least one case due to a software error, he said. Asking to see the source code seems perfectly valid.

Yeah, Kevin Sorbo's ego really ruined that show. Season one and two were ok, but when Sorbo got more control it went into the shitter fast.
