I had LASIK a couple of years ago, and have been tickled pink with the results. I went from -7 diopters in both eyes to 20/20. I'm in my mid-forties, so it was likely I would need reading glasses, but so far, I have not.
I hear they can help correct farsightedness now as well.
The numbers you quote are for current distillation settings that mirror current demand fractions. The refineries can produce more diesel and less gasoline, for instance, if there were demand for it. They have processes to make heavy hydrocarbons into lighter ones, and vice versa.
... is that "...measures that have been taken to minimize illegal behavior"?
That's cool - I wish I had the same standard with regard to my personal conduct.
"Officer, I've done everything I can to minimize speeding, but today I just couldn't help it." "Gee, your honor, I did everything I could to minimize my need to bash the victim's brains in, but this one slipped thru the cracks. I know you'll understand."
Since when is mostly legal "good enough"? Isn't obeying the law a zero-tolerance situation?
Are we arguing the same point? I said ADSL is not baseband, but broadband, which means it requires a MODEM to MOdulate and DEModulate the original signals.
Here's what I originally said:
I disagree. Even though the acronym has 'digital' in it, the modulation on the wire is not direct baseband [wikipedia.org] digital modulation - the sending and receiving sides of the ADSL signal are modulated above baseband to allow for the standard analog phone channel. From this article [wikipedia.org]:
"With standard ADSL (annex A), the band from 25.875 kHz to 138 kHz is used for upstream communication, while 138 kHz [to] 1104 kHz is used for downstream communication."
What part of that is inconsistent with ADSL being broadband and not baseband?
I still disagree. 10BASE-T ethernet is baseband - the digital signal (like that coming out of the PHY chip on TTL lines) is what's transmitted directly on the medium; in this case, twisted pair. The frequency domain of the transmitted signal includes frequencies down to DC.
Cable modems convert the BASEband ethernet signal into a channelized non-baseband signal. ADSL modems also modulate the digital stream up in the spectrum so that the analog channel can be passed unmolested.
Look at the picture in the wikipedia article - the digital data does not include DC, so it must be demodulated to recover the original baseband signal. That makes ASDL equipment MODEMs.
I still disagree. Baseband can be applied to digital modulation techniques. 10BASE-T is BASEband on the wire - the signal being transmitted includes the spectrum down to DC. Cable Modems take a baseband digital signal (ethernet) and convert it to a channelized non-baseband system.
If you modulate a baseband signal to a channel (like cable modems or ADSL), you're no longer talking about a purely digital system - you're talking a version of the signal that will require demodulation on the receiving ends, hence MODEM.

I agree with your conclusion and your reasoning is sound; however you assume that the chimp in question is conscious. I would bet that the transmission of the virus occurs after the chimp has either been rendered unconscious or recently killed.

You know what torqued me? Support for the Asus P4PE motherboard sensors was removed 'accidentally' because some other Asus laptop might've overheated or some such. Talk about collateral damage.

The Cosmos DVDs were remastered to include updated special effects and some previously unaired footage. They might've updated the soundtrack, but the Floyd was probably in the original.
I realize you're trying to sound smart, or at least snarky, but your post is correct. Using the rightkind of fuel cycle can provide all the power we need _and_ burn up 90%+ of that so-called 'waste'.
It is also the opinion of every whisky connoisseur (other than you) and distiller I've ever spoken with.
If you claim a 10 y/o whisky bottled in 1979 is now a 40 y/o, you'll be laughed out of the room, and perhaps the country.
The aging process requires the migration of the alcohol thru the pores of the wooden cask so that it will dissolve flavor compounds from the charred interior of the cask. My wife's favorite is a 25 y/o single cask, cask strength Macallan bottled by Douglas Laing.

Well, a concussion would certainly help promote the disease vector I postulated. Knock her out, drag her by the hair, etc.

If by 'Puff Daddy' you mean major toker, than you're correct - he used marijuana 'avidly'.

The Cosmos TV series by Carl Sagan. I loved that show.
