Nuke plants consume 20% of our power? That just doesn't sound right....by a lot.
I know that nuke power SUPPLIES about 20-25% of our nations total power. Yes nuke plants do use "outside" energy to power the water coolants, but 20% of our nations power!! I dont think so, maybe 0.02% if that. There are only about 100 nuke plants in the USA, I find it impossible to believe that they use that much. Check your facts.
Your title says rt 24, which runs by the Mall at Short Hills, but in your comment it says rt 78. I'm guessing you meant to say rt 24? Which side of the highway? East bound, west bound?
Overclocking?? With electric eels?

When you want to overclock your computer - like at a lan-party, and you're playing Counter-Strike, you could irritate the eel to get that extra bit of power. Of course your eel might get tired after a while..
He seems to have done quite well, with several US hits that I can think of (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Wires, etc.)
But you're right, once American producers get ahold of something, it goes thru the comittee process and get's vanillified/homogenized and made into visual wallpaper/mush. That's why you have to avoid the big name releases and see smaller films that have much more character/personality...
Don't forget that alot of countries have their own version of the FDA. Japan has their own and can tend to be isolationist. Europe is moving towards a unified agency. Many small countries save cost and just approve/disapprove whatever the USA or other large nearby country has already reviewed.
So while it costs nearly a BILLION dollars to get a new drug approved in the USA, a device is cheaper to get approved. But it still costs money. The USA will propbably be used as a test market and other countries will receive applications, once this initial reaction is judged.
Actually, that's cheaper than many other existing wheelchairs (WC) that are out there already which cost around 35K. But these are often, but not always, the one's that are usable by people with upper extremety disabilities - joystick, sip and puff controls by your mouth... Medical devisec aren't cheap.
You can use the excess heat to build a steam powered compressor that will drive an AC unit.
But seriously, It's that the chip can run hotter, not that it is using more power. Now with a diamond chip, you might not need a heat sink - natural heat radiation will spill off most of the heat.
Glycogen storage- Free-fatty acid system

Once you have started to deplete your blood glucosen your liver will start to breakdown glycogen into glucose. (Note if you deplete your glucose stores too quickly, you will go into a diabetic like coma nad probably start to seize if your blood glucose is too low.)
Once your body has depleted enough of its glycogen storage and glucose levelesn more free faty acids (FFA) start to escape from your bodies fat stores, and are oxidized in the mitochondria to acetyl CoA, which can then be introduced into the citric acid cycle for energy production (ATP and it should shift the equilibrium to glucogenesis).
Note also that highly trained endurance athletes (not most slashdot readers - sorry) can only derive a maximal 70% of energy produced from fat burningn the reaiming 30% or so still must be from glucose. If glucose is depleted much more than this, then exhaustion occurs.
If I remember correctly from physiology, 100 food calories (100,000 actual calories english units) will produce about 200 watts for an hour. A pound of fat is about 3000 calories, so a pound of fat should roughly produce enough wattage to run a 400 watt computer system for about 15 hours!!!
As long as he is eating a balanced diet, as we should all be doing, then not much needs to be done. He didn't allude to any symptoms indicating racing thoughts, flight of ideas,etc which can be common to ADHD. From all that he said, it just sounds like he is a procrastinator. He can do the work when he needs to (last minute), thus he seems to be able to function well when he wants to. This then indicates that this is probably a choice and not something organically wrong with him.
I believe the gist of the article is that the bacteria are able to turn a SOLUABLE form of uranium into a NON_SOLUABLE form. Therefor it is less ilkely to be dissolved (or far much less of it) into the groundwater and migrate to potable (drinkable) water suplies. Or You could "wash" the soil and introduce the bacteria into the water and have them "filter it out" , thereby purifying the water. It's been done with petroleum eating bacteria on oil spills, so why not nuke wastes. I even remember way back when I was taking some bacterial engineering classes, that some bacteria were selective enough to distinguish different ISOTOPES of elements - not 100% selective and therefore probably not good enough for nuke purification schemes..
I'm a doctor and i REALLY needed to study ALOT- both during med school and in residency. After working a 100-120 hours in a week, it's hard to get motivated. What I found out, and so did many other people, was that the best way was to read BEFORE you went home for the day. Make it part of work at least for an hour or two a day. Once you go home, there are too many distractions and you won't get stuff done (I've been there).
The other thing to do is make lists of small segments, if you procrastinate. This will force you to work more steadily. Yes I'm a procrastinator too, and this works.
The last thing to do is get out of the house and go somewhere where there are NO distractions. Not Borders or Barnes and Nobles, but the local law school library, where nothing interests you and everybody else is working hard. My 2 cents worth.
That galaxy unfortunately reminds me of that horrible picture everyone knows about.
I don't know about you, but I guess I have a little Slashdot shellshock - I can't help having a little fear of what I'm going to see, everytime I click on a link..
Uh don't forget that Oxygen is pretty toxic/caustic. If something has spent it's whole life in a relatively oxygen free low low pressure environment, then the sudden change will be horrible for that life form. Kinda like we humans trying to live on the surface of Venus - not going to happen.
When I was younger(say 12-16 years old, and before I was in a punk/metal bands), I used to be able to tell if certain people on my block had their TVs on by walking in front of their house. I could hear the 60 Hz humm from the street about 50 ft from their door.
It's a survival advantage for little kids to have acute senses - hearing, vision, taste. It gives them time to run away after hearing the dangerous animal or to not eat that horrible tasting poisonous berry. As we get older they decrese and more and more adults need help.
Just microwave your clothes for about 5 seconds...That should take care of any anoying built in clothing bugs. I guess there will be RFID scanners being sold too. Just periodically sweep your stuff to see what's been bugged. I'm not sure what to do about the ones they're putting in car tires now, though..
Well, probably a few more than that, but here goes. DNA in a cell isn't just sitting there all unwound, There are many huge sections of it all bundled/wrapped up around little protein cores which reduces the volume of DNA and more importantly only exposes the sections of it that are needed by the cell at that moment. This is controlled by other proteins within the cell. #2 would be that we don't have any idea of what all the upregulator proteins are like in mamoths. If we just stick the DNA into, say, an elephant cell, it might not be able to understand the DNA.
My Grandparents were in Florida about 15 years ago taking a walk on the beach, when they saw a crowd of people gathered. Some smuggling boat had broken up and it's contents had washed up on shore.
The contents were 1) Plastic wrapped bags of money, and 2) Large plastic wrapped bales of pot.
Unfortunately, the US Customs agents had also heard of it too and were preventing people from taking "souvenirs".
I'm happy with the stability of my machine, but what I want to know as an experienced end user is what can I expect from the 2.6 series. How about someone knowlegable listing the top 10 gains over the 2.4 kernel?

Last time I looked I was using Kmail, Evolution and Mozilla to do that. Mozilla has been pretty good at recognizing spam too and rejecting it.

That's how he started, by inventing a small easy to use/cary infusion pump. Good for people on chemo, who need insulin infusion, etc.

It's called reincarnation, but you have to start from the beginning of that level(i.e. baby).
