Ethanol Production Using Corn, Switchgrass, and Wood; Biodiesel Production Using Soybean and Sunflower David Pimentel and Tad W. Patzek Natural Resources Research, Vol. 14, No. 1, March 2005 doi:10.1007/s11053-005-4679-8
The latter is more interesting because not only does it point out the economic issues, but also that there are other issues such as water consumption, soil erosion, political costs etc. associated with using ethanol for fuel.
The Oil Drum is a very worthy site because it presents a useful hard economic view of alternative energies. I think it's probably overly pessimistic, however it's probably a lot closer to the truth than a lot of the advocacy positions that appear in the media.
It's a travesty. The kid was actually attending an engineering magnet school where I imagine about half the student body was building 'electronic devices' in their homes, and had chemicals that when mixed could explode.
His mother has been making statements to the press that show how utterly stupid this witch hunt is.
I hope they file a big fat civil rights and false arrest lawsuit.
The list prices are the same. I got my discount by calling Cablevision and complaining their price was too high compared to the FIOS intro price. Wack. $50 off and free movie channels for a year. That year is still in progress. It will be interesting to see what happens when it expires. I will be perfectly happy to switch if need be. It's worth it for that kind of money.
Cablevision customers who live in a non-competitive area get nowhere near as good a deal if they complain.
An alternative to this would be to finally break the monopoly faced by many Americans on their broadband cable services.
I live in an area served by both FIOS and Cablevision, and neither have caps, and have played them against each other to get discounts on my service bills.
It is $200+. Apple's all time high is $705, and Monday it was trading pre-market below $500.
It is not cherry picking data. It is pointing out that the dance is winding down. It was a great ride while it lasted. I've seen this things before. Trees don't grow to the sky.
As this article points out Apple is merely a niche player now.
Apple is a company that has gone about as far as they are going to go unless they find new markets and new products. And finding something on the scale of the iPhone is going to be really unlikely. As one of the articles I pointed out, that's a once and a lifetime event.
Sorry. Just because I am employed by a corporation does not mean my actions fall under a corporate shield. The idea is preposterous really. Employees and officers of corporations get prosecuted for their individual acts all the time. If it weren't so you could not possibly have a working legal system in any way.
The corporate shield protects employees from actions of the corporation, for example if I am head of Exxon and an Exxon ship in Timbuktu sinks you can't sue me. You might be able to sue the captain of the ship for his part in the accident though.
Nah. There is a protocol for storage that includes removing the gasoline from the engine that everyone that has to deal with seasonal equipment knows all about.
This article is ridiculous. I have lived 12 miles inland from the NJ shore for 20 years. In that entire time I've experienced ONE power outage lasting more than 24 hours, that being the recent storm. I got through it partly with the help a gasoline generator that cost about $400.
I am not about to use this experience as a reason to install a power system for tens of thousands of dollars that the storm would have probably blown off the top of my roof and WOULDN'T supply power at night, which is when I would have needed it anyway.
Displacement of workers by technology has been going on since the invention of the horse collar in the 12th century.
Some 900 years later we all live far better lives.
I'd think by now this debate would be over.
Technology drives down costs. This increases demand and makes capital and disposable income available for investment in new products. The new products spawn new industries which hire people.
The problem with all of this is that the skills of the displaced workers are not necessarily needed by the new industries. Buggy whip artisans aren't don't get many database admin interviews.

I did that plus I had a pretty elaborate chemistry setup in my basement. I used to make a variety of explosives in small quantities for backyard fun.
I had a copy of the anarchist's cookbook and some rockets too.
I also had a few electronic devices for a model railroad too.

So your sister is Sarah Palin?
That's about right.
In the stuff I'm doing all I have to worry about is if it's worse than O(n) or not.
If it is it's too slow.
Done.
Usually 2.0 sucks even worse.

It seems to me that population reduction will occur regardless of whether or not the UN has a hand in it.
Your link is to a crackpot site, I hope you realize.

Apple is 6th in China, the fastest growing market:

It is still well short of freedom of speech, and British libel laws are still a huge problem.
Unlike Romney supporters the facts are on my side:
1. Apple stock off 200 points.

2. Apple market share falling.

3. Apple's margins down.
http://seekingalpha.com/article/1070841-apple-gross-margin-conundrum-explained
So who is denying reality here?
More likely they think it's a waste of money. Apple stock is starting it's inevitable fall to reality and their margins are reverting to the mean.
Soon enough the iPhone will be remembered as the the product that followed the Blackberry into the dustbin of history.
That doesn't require the application run on a server that allows connections from the internet.
Usually such things are done on a server that is at least two firewalls away.

Hmmm generally to take advantage of the corporate veil requires that you uh incorporate first.
There are ways around this. For example the SSNs could be stored as a hash and referred to as a hash.
Also the server this application runs on is connected to the internet why?
The payback period for solar panels is measured in decades.
Who lives in a house that long? The resale value of the house is not increased by solar panels, either.
It just does not make any economic sense.
Get a natural gas conversion kit. Cost: A lot less than a solar panel installation.
Yes, and labor (installation) prices which are the bulk of the cost have increased in the past 5 years too. Net change = 0.
Nah. There is a protocol for storage that includes removing the gasoline from the engine that everyone that has to deal with seasonal equipment knows all about.

Likewise my use of PNC has not been affected.

A currency can be destroyed by inflation making it worthless.
However this is a symptom of having too much money.
