Theoretically it goes down about 10%, so in the real world I'd expect 15-20% if you didn't re-chip the computer. Octane rating is a little less so don't stand on the throttle or you might get engine ping which is hard on the engine.
There is not a lot of IP possible with a organism that occurs naturally, the "magic sauce" only comes into play when they try to engineer the little buggers to eat cellulose rather than starch. In the Clostridium family there are organisms the digest cellulose and organisms that metabolize starch into isobutanol, grow them together and sooner or later the little buggers are going to do the sex thing and exchange DNA amongst themselves; if your lucky you'll get a critter that does both and you've then made an end-run around all of that IP by avoiding the engineering.
Clostridium cellulolyticum strain H10 (ATCC 35319) is a non-ruminal mesophilic cellulolytic bacterium originally isolated from decayed grass compost (Petitdemange et al., 1984). http://genome.jgi-psf.org/cloce/cloce.home.html
Apparently it's already in your grass clipplings, so all you need to do is; 1 separate out the C. cellulolyticum H10 2 culture and grow an inoculating culture 3 sterilize you grass clippling 4 inoculate with you C. cellulyticum and ferment 5 profit
Arthur Eugene "Art" Arfons (February 3, 1926 – December 3, 2007) was the world land speed record holder three times in 1964 – 1965 with his Green Monster series of jet-powered cars, after a series of Green Monster piston-engine and jet-engined dragsters. He subsequently went on to field a succession of Green Monster turbine-engined pulling tractors, before returning to land speed record racing. He was announced as a 2008 inductee in the International Motorsports Hall of Fame three days after his death.... Arfons returned to Bonneville in 1964 with another Green Monster. He held the world land speed record three times during the closely fought competition of 1964 and 1965, but after a bad crash in 1966 turned his attention to jet turbine powered tractor pulling competition where he was, as usual, successful. In 1989, however, he attempted to return to land speed record competition, but was never competitive.... Arfons died on December 3, 2007, in Springfield Township, Ohio, at the age of 81. He was interred at Mt. Peace Cemetery.
"Nuclear produces waste." Do you have a reference for that?, everything that comes out of a used nuclear fuel rods is useful and valuable to somebody. The coolest thing is to just bury it in the ground, a thousand years later you can dig up almost pure plutonium!
I'm not completely sure either, but one mundane thing that people can do much more easily then machines is orientate part into the carriers for the machine, which to me would be the most plausable answer. I saw a video of a robot folding towels from a jumbled pile like they came out of the drier, while impressive that the machine could do it at all, it was painfully slow; I doubt the value of the work would be enough to cover the machines depreciation and energy costs. This is really the same as what was happening in the US's slave states just before the civil war, Slavery really was dieing due to economic pressures. Many slave owner would hire Irish day laborers to do really dangerous work because they were much cheaper and easier to replace than the slaves.
"Those of us who are public officials and are entrusted with the power of the state are ultimately accountable to the public, when we exercise that power in public fora, we should not expect our actions to be shielded from public observation." Judge Emory A Plitt Jr.
Maryland is a two-party state too, at least one Judge gets it.
I just watched a video where a man cuts off a motorcycle with car, jumps out with a handgun drawn and orders the motorcyclist off his motorcycle. The motorcyclist who recorded the encounter with what appeared to be a camera in his helmet was arrested under Maryland's wiretapping law, Judge Emory A Plitt Jr. said "Those of us who are public officials and are entrusted with the power of the state are ultimately accountable to the public, When we exercise that power in public fora, we should not expect our actions to be shielded from public observation." as he threw out all of the charges related to the recording, leaving only the traffic violations.
Care full there big boy, lumping the Police and the Military together is painting with a mighty broad brush. In fact even having the Military working with the Police can be a legal minefield. Civilian Police would never be able to work under the same restriction on the use of force and deadly force the Military Police do everyday.
There could be various reasons. Perhaps the publicity is designed to thwart a cancellation of the project by congress. I assume secret programs are easier to axe as there are no adverse public relations repercussions.
I was thinking it would be the other way around, 80% of congress wouldn't even know what they were voting for or against, so there is no way to bad-mouth the project. When everything is classified then you just vote for a strong defense, or against the industrial-military establishment.
I've seen a video where a bunch of carbon nanotube is illuminated by a camera's flash and the nanotube burst into flames, the lightening would ignite the cable even if it was not hit simply by being illuminated. If the cable is isolated, I assume you mean what we yanks call insulated electrically it still wouldn't help because the cable will pickup static electricity from the wind until it arcs over to ground/earth and still ignites.
I suppose it's a matter of the cost to build Vs. the cost to insure and how big your cahonies are. I expect the insurance rate for Taurus launches are going up past break-even for a while.
To be fair, you'd have to be quite brave to put an expensive satellite on top of a Falcon with so few launches so far.
To be fair, you'd have to be quite brave to put an expensive satellite on top of any launch vehicle, a Falcon with so few successful launches so far or the Taurus with two failures in a row. There fixed it for you.
Dude seriously, Carbon nanotube are very conductive and they also tend to spontaneous combustion when flashed with a light, now imagine one reaching from the Earth's equator to LEO during hurricane season; it's not rocket science here.
Just "notice" it in the middle of big-city downtown, where a controlled explosion would also knock out a quarter million dollars of glass. Besides I was googling the numbers off the device and Utah has put out bids to purchase two of these mechanisms. It's pretty likely that these thingys aren't FBI-only and most bomb squads would very likely recognize them at once. Then they would remove it with much fanfare and theatrics and transport it for a controlled detonation in the FBI property room; maybe even send you a DVD of the detonation at the bomb range with a generous explosion so to preserve their cover.
Mind you, this is not to say that the FBI is a particularly nefarious organization, but is it ever prudent to give anyone that much unchecked authority?
While I've had the privilege of working with several fine and Honorable FBI AGENTS, as an agency it definitely has much more nefarious history than non-nefarious. A quick read of J. Edgar Hoover's wikipedia article is all it takes to make a person realize that we are very lucky we still have the freedoms we have.
She was a slave, property, you can't have sex with her because it the same as using her to masturbate. Why ask for permission, she's property, do you ask your car if it's OK to drive it? You just don't understand the real concept of slavery and therefore why it's wrong.
I'm funny this way, but I refuse to accept responsibility for events that happened 900 years ago. Besides it's not like there isn't enough blame for both sides either.

First butanol isn't particularly water soluble, 87 g/L at 20 C and its density is 0.802 g/cm3, so it floats on top of the water

Wile E. Coyote uses stuff like that all of the time; gets them from a company called Acme.

No need to worry, Chris Huhne says you'll have plenty of electricity as long as the wind is blowing, so you'll be able to keep your cars charged.

To which I say "Thank You" and turn on my recorder, so nice of them to give me permission in an area of law that gets so obtuse.

The US Navy is working on one but it's not quite ready yet.
Yeww, neekid videos of your mom having kinky sex with 2 dwarves and an amputee, think of the children!

spontaneous combustion aside, conductive is a feature, not a bug...
Not when it get hit with a bolt of lightening I'm sure the 30,000 C generated in a lightening strike is enough to fry you carbon nanotubes.
