More like 3000 psi. But you don't try and confine it...you get a regulator on the tank (or not, if you're cheap), you attach a hose to your serial-bubbler setup (think a few bongs, each with a hose from the mouthpiece to the next downtube), you set up an underwater collector (bucket full of water upside down in a bigger bucket of water with the hose going into the little bucket), then you crack the valve on the tank till it bubbles nicely and fills the bucket. unplug the last hose, suck the bucket dry, enjoy the brain cells dropping like flies, repeat to your heart's content.
you can bubble the auto-grade n2o through 4 or 5 water washes; it will greatly reduce the so2. [n2o is "slightly soluble"; so2 is "soluble", sez the merck] disclaimer: i have my bs chemistry, so i can claim "epxertise" and state the above as Fact - but if you're idiotic enough to actually TRY bubbling dirty n2o, it's at your own risk.
they aren't cheap, but a MoTeC ECU will let you play with your injection maps to your little hearts content, along with pretty much everything else that you can electronically control in your engine (uhh...injection mapping, ignition...what else is there?). truly a hacker's dream toy.
Been in the field for a few years, worked at a national lab, major university...and I can tell you there is no such thing as an unbiased scientist. We don't actually cook the books, but most researchers have an preconceived notion of what their results should be, and will interpret their data in a way that backs up that desire. Nobody ever talks about it and even fewer will acknowledge it, but it's there, which is why I look at all this squabbling between left-leaning and right-leaning scientists to be pure political bullshit; especially since most scientists are of a rather liberal bent and despise Bush - $20 says if gov't scientists were all enviro-friendly, this lot would be bitching about the myth of global warming.
I'm not even a computer-type person (my resume is a mix of chemistry and cooking), but I always put the reason I left a particular job right there on my resume. It makes situations like this pretty much self-explanitory. Of course, I've never been fired for any negative reasons, so I don't have to worry about that...YMMV.
It's holding over 4.4Mbits (550kB/s) and still going strong, all the other mirrors are running about 10kB/s. [shameless plug]Of course, if you have any ISP besides OptOnline, you're SOL;D[/shameless plug]
2500Mbps*(1B/8b)=312.5MBps Sure, Ultra320 disks can't SUSTAIN it, but they could handle a burst from the network. Anyway, you know it's going to practically be more like 2Gbps, a measly 250MB/sec;)
I noticed a lot of posts claiming that the testers are a marketing gimmick to get you to kill the battery faster - here's what HowStuffWorks has to say:
One question you might have right now is, "Doesn't the battery tester drain some of the battery's energy?" The answer is, "yes, but not enough to matter." If you tested the battery every 5 minutes it might be a problem, but most people don't do that.
Course, it could be different for geeks...toys like that are there to be used every 5 minutes!;)
i just tried firefox 0.8 for OS X - it's not bad at all, but it just doesn't look as integrated as camino. i know camino development has slowed to a crawl, but is it totally done? are there any plans to use the firefox guts in the super-slick Cocoa front-end maybe?
120db at 50,000 feet is going to do nothing - the sound pressure from the engines will probably be a few orders of magnitude higher.
You didn't RTFA anway - if you had, you'd know that it's one installation, to protect the nissan factory lot from hailstorms, not a sonic cannon in every car (well, some stereo systems put out way more than 120db...).
The plastic security threads embedded in all US bills $5 and up are UV sensitive; they all glow different colors according to the denomination of the bill. I've seen doormen at clubs in NYC with small blacklight boxes.
I'm not saying we could wipe off every bacterium on Earth, but we could certainly disrupt the biological system enough to make it incapable of sustaining humans. And in the end, that's all that matters, isn't it?
ehhh, whatever - i suspect the planet would be better off without humans crawling all over it. i love how environmentalists fly off the handle when i point out they're actually interested in the survival of humanity, not the ecosystem...
At least that's what the DOCSIS spec supports. I don't know the upper bandwidth of coax, but I'd imagine it's pretty high - 200+ channels of digital video and music is no mean feat.
My mom's iMac just needed plugging into the wall and cable modem. Sure, if they were more popular there probably would be more virii, worms, trojans, &c., but it would still be a *lot* more secure (X at least). Of course, I may be designing something to be completely foolproof, while underestimating the ingenuity of complete idiots.;D
thats one of the perks of living near NYC - we have Cablevision, so we get optonline...10/1...mmm, that's some tasty cable lovin', and i don't need to screw around with my modem to get it! w00t!

It's a workable solution - I don't think the watch can be set that accurately. Anyway, why do you need to know the time (on your wrist) to the s?

[W]riting a PPC emulator that runs on the x86 just happens to be unbelievably difficult to do with anything even remotely approaching an acceptable speed of emulation due to the neatly mismatching design philosophies of the two instruction sets.
Sooo...why does the PPC do a fair job of emulating an x86 then? I have VirtualPC on my 1.25 DP G4; it only uses ~60% [of *one* proc] when it's going full-tilt, yet it feels about as fast as my PIII-800 at my last job. Not screaming bleeding-edge fast, but perfectly usable for 2000/XP. Is it really because the PPC is that much leaner and more efficient a design than the x86, or is there just much less interest in an 'optimized' PPC emulator?
