Most of that corn isn't sweet corn that people can eat but field corn that is only suitable for cattle feed. Running the field corn through an ethanol fermentation doesn't render the residuals inedible by cattle either, distiller's dried grain is a very high quality animal feed.
Yes but as the momentum decreases, so does the mass, which would at some point be to little to maintain an event horizon; the black-hole would be come non-black. A classic black-hole maintains its event horizon because it has enough matter at rest-mass to do so, a mini-black-hole requires the Lorentz transformations of mass-time-space for the mass. Possibly, a mini-black-hole would only exists if it maintains it's velocity and therefore it's mass, and velocity is a vector of the absolute speed and direction of travel, so whether it's a black-hole or not is totally dependent on the observer's frame of reference. It seems possible that if a mini-black-hole were to approach you on a near-miss trajectory, that you would see a black-hole approach you then as the radial velocity diminishes due to cosine error that it would become a normal particle to you, and become a black-hole again after it passed by and it's radial velocity increased to relativistic levels. A diagram of this would look like a light cone the had a space dimension rotated to where the time dimension would be in the classic diagram; Of course I'm not a physicist.
Not to mention the any blackhole produced will be traveling at the speed of light minus a smidgen and have a mass just a smidgen above zero, so when it's 1 second lifetime expires it'll be halfway to the moon's orbit anyways! Those blackholets will be traveling about 3.5 million times the Earth's escape velocity.
my 2001 Jeep Grande Cheroke was listed at 18/22MPG, the program is for vehicle 18MPG or less so I'd assume that it wouldn't affect most of the SUV glut
You'd be amazed at how many cars are driven in Detroit that run with one cylinder not firing, are 15 years old and have no insurance; I'm sure Detroit is not unique.
And then the 'Mohave' commercials came out, finally trying to cry that Vista was good. Instead, they made it sound as though retarded chimps loved it. "I can set a timer on computer usage so my kids aren't on it all day!" "I can make videos!" "It's so easy to view pictures!" "I just love it!"
When they used it on 6Ghz dual core machines w/4GB of ram it's all good, when they went home and "upgraded" their 1.2 GHz machine that had 500 MB of ram shared with video they learned the meaning of YMMV.
A badly coded PHP script cannot infect the whole linux system, it can only effect areas that your user or even more likely user nobody has write and executed privileges for. If you install a website admin script and secure it with a weak password, somebody is going to get in no matter which OS you use. Your going to have to nuc the site from orbit and reinstall from know clean sources to be sure you didn't miss something, then down load the entire directory structure, privileges, file names lengths and timestamps and make sure they don't change unless you change them!
I've found that when I'm installing something from my limited user account in Vista, that is simply asks for the admin password and does what I want, when running in the admin account the dialog boxes are very noisy. In XP it is a nightmare, you have to download the installer, copy (and only copy, move will not work) to a shared folder, then right click and do the Run as Admin to install! Overall on my high-end machine I like Vista, better than the XP on my wife's machine but unless I'm doing something windows-centric, I stay in Linux. Vista's security model is much closer to the superior Unix model than ever before so quite whining and get used to having to do things right.
When you purchase a CD, you own the CD. but not the music on the physical media, nor the right to redistribute the contents; reselling the used physical media with it's contents are a grey-area.
Creating a copy does not exclude others from creating a copy, so no. No but your appropriating the rights holder's right to distribute; better to support a good local band and go to their proformances and buy your CDs directing from the band and let the RIAA vampyres die of their own accord.
This does seem to be a recurring theme. Normally the Russians are very good and engineering equipment that is tolerant of quality variances, but they either need to figure out this separation issue or beef up them hatches.
The US Military has already been trained in Linux, they were trained to use it in the most difficult and obtuse means available; it was a clear case of malicious obedience. They did the same thing to kill JINTACCS, Joint Interoperability of Tactical Command and Control Systems.
From what I understand the first thing a switching PS does is rectify the AC to DC and smooth it, so they shouldn't care if it receives 240VAC or 330VDC, actually the PSU converts from mains voltage and the 5VDC is primarily used and the motherboard converts it down with switching mode PS to get the voltages the chips actually use such as a CPU pulling 1.3 VDC at 154 Amps. The UPSs then become a battery pack and a charger and can loose the inverter section and it's inefficiencies. a datacenter wired for 440VAC should be able to handle 440VDC without to much difficulty. It impossible to compare the two without building a couple and seeing how they fare over time, I expect the DC systems to have more problems with galvanic corrosion in the wiring connection.
If the Dell support rep could have just given her two or three helpful tips, she could have probably been fine. OpenOffice is a perfect replacement for Word. I don't know about her Verizon situation, but I'm sure there is a workaround for that.
like 1. plug network cable into computer, change Firefoxes' user-agent to IE6 on Vista, enjoy 2. write paper in OO save as.doc file, enjoy
verizon doesn't have linux specific help guides like comcast does so she might have to get someone computer-fluent to set up real Email or she could easily use verison's webbmail interface.
Abbie Schubert, I bet she'll never get a job that involves computer-literacy or critical thinking now!
Household current hurts more, your muscle will convulse at 60Hz, but 400Hz is to high of a frequency for them to convulse at. I got knocked off a launcher by 208VAC @ 400 Hz once, didn't hurt as bad as you'd expect, but I still wouldn't want to do it again

My BOINC client has crunched LHC test data generated by cosmic ray produced particle hitting the Atlas detector already.
What's a low-momentum, high-energy particle, 50% the speed of light rather than 5 nines the speed of light?

That's probably 30-40 degrees cooler than the outside air the Air conditioner's evaporator coil is usually cooled by.

I simply tell people if it doesn't run as a limited user it isn't Fully XP/Vista compatible.

How about unconscionable contract? Even non-compete clauses have an expiration date and valuable consideration for compliance.

They can still shoot, but can't order more bullets.

Plug in the network cable, let DHCP take care of everything, WHOA dude that's hard.

Light bulb filaments last a lot longer when run on DC too.
A. You won't get zapped from 48VDC. If you are extremely sweaty you might feel a slight tingle, but nothing to get excited about.
When one little sliver of copper wire penetrates your skin, I want to hear you say that again.
