Compare the typical 12 gauge domestic power wire for (125 VAC @15 amps) in your house to a jumper cable for your car for (13.8 VDC @135 Amps) and you would see why.
The typical computer power supply and almost everything else anymore uses a rather efficient switching power supply, it takes the input power, rectifies it, runs it through a transformer by switching the DC on and off at high frequency, then rectifying the output from the transformer to supply the rest of the computer. The power supplies change from 115 VAC to 230 VAC input by a simple switch, the 230 VAC , which has a peak to peak voltage of 325 volts, just a stones throw from 380 VDC. The only reason that switching power supplies aren't used on DC is because one side of the input rectifier bridge will probably burn out from not having a rest cycle to cool off. Beef up that bridge rectifier and the power supply will not care what the input frequency is. It would be trivial to convert power supplies to 380 VDC.
Darik's Boot and Nuke ("DBAN") is a self-contained boot disk that securely wipes the hard disks of most computers. DBAN will automatically and completely delete the contents of any hard disk that it can detect, which makes it an appropriate utility for bulk or emergency data destruction. DBAN is a means of ensuring due diligence in computer recycling, a way of preventing identity theft if you want to sell a computer, and a good way to totally clean a Microsoft Windows installation of viruses and spyware. DBAN prevents or thoroughly hinders all known techniques of hard disk forensic analysis. DBAN is a free software product that can be used at home or in a business at zero cost. The only official place to obtain DBAN is by download at this web site. We do not sell DBAN media. Darik's Boot and Nuke
As long as the disk and controller is good, the hard disk should be wiped, well as long as the NSA isn't convinced it wants to see what was on your disk that is.
The initial purpose of a smokestack is to provide draft to the hearth, the heated flue-gasses are expanded and therefore lighter than air, so the taller the smokestack the more air is drawn through the hearth.
My favorite Cameras are the Lubitel 2 for portrait work and really rough environment; that camera is as tough as a Russian Tank and my Canon FTb almost so. When you really get interested in taking more than snapshots, nothing beats a manual film camera and a darkroom.
You say that like the Distiller's Dried Grain left over from making the EtOH isn't an outrageously good cattle feed, or for that matter the press-cake left over from oil extraction is still useful as feed as well. The other thing your forgetting is the majority of corn grown is for animal consumption not human.
The IPCC's 2035 statement was an error that they have admitted. That particular statement never got vetted by a glaciologist who would have known it was ridiculous. It was basically on the level of a typographical error, not a scientific error.
I would consider that in it's self to be symptomatic of a lack of scientific rigor, the IPCC reports have numerous examples of NGO's inserting their propaganda into it that isn't peer reviewed. How does one get to be an editor of the IPCC, popularity contest?
You know, they don't pull this stuff out of there arses, unlike you.
it's computer model, they pull it out of computer models, so they have to be right because they use computers and everything. Everybody knows if you ask a computer an illogical question it starts spitting out lightening bolts and explodes and since there aren't computers blowing up all over the place they have to be right because they use computers and everything.
At that time I Could go outside the door and jump on our snowmobile and go for a ride, In High school I worked in the tow both at a ski area for spending money and free skiing and it was much colder and snowier in the 1960 and 1970 than it was in the 1980 and 90's. It was much more plausible in the public's mind that some kind of mini ice age was coming. In the nineties, if I wanted to go from a snowmobile ride I had to drive 200 miles north to find decent snow and this global warming was much more plausible in the public's mind. Guess what kiddies the climate has a quasi-periodic temperature oscillations of 30, 60 and 120 years; the sun has a sun-spot cycle of 22 years and everything is in a down cycle so expect it to be cool for a while.
It's already been 15 years, and this year we clearly into a La Nina phase, so this winter (or summer if you a southerner) is going to be cold and snowy just like last year. it's more plausible that a LIA, Little Ice Age, is going to happen than a MWP, Medieval Warm Period.
Actually if the water cools of it will dissolve considerably more CO2 into it than warmer water does, the same as a cold soda pop doesn't fizz as much as a warm one does; when atmospheric CO2 hits 172 ppm we get glaciers kilometers thick, when CO2 hits 150 ppm plants can't utilize CO2 and everything on Earth dies except for possible some deep sea creatures.
A Canadian Law Enforcement Officer once told me about how amusing it was to be lectured about civil rights, by another Canadian who learned about his rights by watching American TV; not everyone is American, and even if you are don't bet your life or liberty on what you learned watching CSI.
Yeah , fuck scientists! Those entitled pricks draped in lab coats haven't done shit* for us!
* Except for essentially wiping out polio, smallpox, and a host of other major diseases. And generally improving the quality of life not just for all Americans but people the world around.

Excellent rant, it reminded me of this from Monty Python's "Life of Brian"
Reg: But apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
Maybe it's a matter of is zero the first number or is one, if the clock is starting when the neutrinos enter the hadron stop but the yardstick is measuring from the outside of the hadron stop, then the 60 nS difference would just about work out to the excepted speed of light.
MINOS as it now exists can only check the 730 km trip from CERN to Italy, not the 18-metre (60-light-nanosecond) trip across the iron "hadron stop" at the end of the decay tunnel at CERN, which may be at the heart of the result. This is because MINOS uses a matched near detector / far detector layout, whereas OPERA measures from the original protons (which are "upstream" from the hadron stop).
That is so far behind the state of the Art, right now we are able to run a combine-harvester to 2 cm accuracy; your talking about incoherent scribbles and the framers are doing inkjet quality crop-pictures.
Not sure but it looks to me when you zoom in, that it follows the surface to the point where gullies and ridges pass through it, try this for a better view. Many of the "whitish" traces appear to have been applied multiple times so you can see some parts of the trace has faded a bit and right near the pushpin you can see vehicle tracks both on and off the trace at maximum magnification.
Raided or offered them an opportunity to work on the exciting, high risk project that get the real space geeks adrenalin pumping; the kind of projects that NASA rarely does anymore.
Well since the climate is chaotic any change is irreversible, but the the real issue is if the climate sensitivity is in the range of 2 - 4.5 C / doubling that the alarmist claim we're not only screwed but hopelessly screwed, if it's the more likely 1.7C to 2.6C, than what we see now is pretty much all there is so it's no big deal until we start turning blue.
Once the grease is put in the render's container, it's their property and they will defend it; the restaurant that generated the waste grease probably doesn't care. It's the grease rendering company that being stolen from, not the restaurant.

Maybe it's a matter of is zero the first number or is one, if the clock is starting when the neutrinos enter the hadron stop but the yardstick is measuring from the outside of the hadron stop, then the 60 nS difference would just about work out to the excepted speed of light.
The 60 LnS thick hadron stop, and neutrinos getting to a detector 60 nS too soon is just plain suspicious.
Obviously those hooligans would have been either heretics or infidels so we can just torture a confession out of them then burn them at the stake.

Not always, the The two-stage biodiesel process completely avoids soap.
The grease isn't put out, it's in a container owned by the rendering company leased to the restaurant on the restaurant's premises.
Once the grease is put in the render's container, it's their property and they will defend it; the restaurant that generated the waste grease probably doesn't care. It's the grease rendering company that being stolen from, not the restaurant.
Why would you steal from Alice's restaurant when you can get anything you want there?
