Biomass derived kerosene is already available. The quality apparently isn't very good, but oil is still really cheap, so I'm not sure that means very much.
You don't need to worry too much about the long term costs, you just focus on short term emissions goals; If emissions are too high, raise the tax; if they are in-line, don't raise the tax and maybe lower it.
The idea that a government would ever lower the tax is somewhat laughable, but that is a problem of government, not of carbon emissions.
The 16 cores help because your operating system is doing hundreds of things all the time, not just waiting for you to type B into the currently active gui.
I imagine that personalized search results were a direct result of realizing that a certain number of good or bad ratings were a strong indicator; I would be surprised if they were not aggregating the clicks from personalized search and feeding it into the generalized results.
That sure is carefully worded. The absolute difference between the averages is only 13%, and is only 20% of the smaller number. It also quietly ignores all the decisions that are not considered for appeals (meaning when a case from the 9th is appealed, it is somewhat more likely to be overturned than other courts, but saying nothing about what percentage of all the cases heard in the 9th are overturned upon appeal).
Central is pretty student oriented; they have to be to compete with community colleges (which are about one step down) and Michigan State and Western Michigan (which are about one step up).
If someone gets confused by that, they certainly wouldn't get into Carnegie Mellon, and they probably wouldn't get into Central (or at least, they wouldn't be applying).
I think part of the reason for the name is that there are also Eastern Michigan and Western Michigan (all three are public universities).
This particular game is all about estimating your opponent. As you point out, it is possible that the security tool the college installs is incredibly powerful, but it isn't particularly likely.
I guess it is pretty likely that they notice a bunch of VM drivers though.
Yes, but are the cockpit doors nothing, or are they something?
I sure don't think that everything done in the name of airport and flight safety has been effective, but saying that things are identical to 8 years ago (this seems like the most reasonable way to read nothing to me) is pretty silly.
I read (one place) where you talk about cockpit doors; pretty much every pilot is going to let the stewardesses (and some passengers) die before they intentionally crash their planes, so yeah, the doors do actually make the people on the plane safer, the box cutter terrorists have to make a bloody mess killing them one by one instead of simply incinerating them.
The mechanism used isn't a trick, it is an explicit feature of Firefox. That is, it checks a local machine registry key and runs extensions that are pointed to by that key. Any installer with system privileges can do the same thing.
Now, would it have been better for Microsoft to make the installation optional? Probably.
It was a misunderstanding of the attitude at large of Firefox users. That they changed it is a reasonable indicator that they have some respect for those users.
It wasn't even particularly important that Columbus took the voyage. As much as anything, he has been anointed by history, I'm sure there were lots of people looking to sail West (for the most part, people then did not think the earth was flat) and make some bucks, he just happened to get funded and successfully make the voyage.
The old parts of the city benefit from long experience with severe weather and are built on high ground. The devastated areas are mostly newer construction, where people didn't bother to look 50 years into the past, to the last time a storm devastated the city.
It isn't that big a deal to synthesize hydrocarbons (well, as long as you have some energy). Fossil fuels don't have anywhere near the energy density required to 'bootstrap our civilization to space' anyway.
It could be a platform thing (I'm running FF3 on Windows), but you might want to try disabling flash (or running flashblock); I don't ever notice javascript based ads locking things up, but something like 2/3 of all flash objects that I activate eat 100% cpu.

Only after you have cut them open do you know what color their insides are.

So because people are partisan morons, I have to disclose my vote (note that I vote and am not a registered anything)?

There is a pref that pretty much does that.

You apparently think Bruce is a moron too.
Hardened cockpit doors and the elimination of 3/4 of Al Qaeda don't count?
Isn't it obvious? A coder writes code and a programmer writes programs.
If I had mod points, I would mod him Goddamn-dirty-longhair.

5 years! Even the most outrageous weddings I have seen are more like 6 months, if that (but I don't really fly in ritzy circles either).

In the sense that using less paper means that the book costs just a little less? Yes.
