And if your Ammoniamobile runs out of fuel, you can scarf down that emergency bag of dehydrated asparagus you keep in the glove compartment and pee a few more miles worth into the gas tank.
The Chinese economy also has the advantage of just being able to ignore any Luddites, rather than having to spend the first few years of any major infrastructure project swatting away at the useless lawsuits they generate. This is why China has high-speed trains while California - which funded such a project - does not.
What you will actually be doing in less than five minutes is pumping out a depleted tankful of vanadium electrolyte and replacing it with a charged tankful of the same stuff.
Don't confuse the traditional large European roundabout with the "modern roundabout" style being built new in the US: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R... Each entrance to a modern roundabout is a Yield. With experience, several traffic movements can be taking place simultaneously and the total traffic throughput can be much greater than a 4-way stop and greater than most signal intersections until the number of lanes goes to three or more.
We have started using roundabouts in a major way in parts of Arizona, so I have observational data on them. They work well until the volume of traffic gets pretty high, especially traffic in one direction. Then you need a separation to really keep things moving smoothly.
That being the label we apply to the direction we observe time to be moving in. If there is some other direction time could be moving in, please demonstrate it so we could label it appropriately.
That's because intelligence and personality are independent variables. Success is a combination of persistence, affability and charisma. If you find a person with these characteristics AND intelligence, get out of the way as fast as you can.
That's the best description of Mensa (it's not an acronym!) that I've seen in the this week's spate of publicity, which I think is coming out in connection with next week's annual conference in Boston.
Yes, as with Fight Club, the subject you never talk about in Mensa is IQ itself. The organization is for people who have one specific thing in common, but are in other ways totally diverse.
There was a similar headline just yesterday with Texas, and wind. You still won't be able to smelt much steel if you have to wait for that one windy day to crank up your mill. You would still lose to the Korean mill that can keep a lake of molten steel hot with baseload nuclear.
Watch for them to "close the antenna hole" in TV transmission so that a cable subscription will be required of ALL viewers.
But no, your cable company still won't be on the "Verify your provider" list that all the online viewing options come with now. Is there any hope for a SCOTUS case that will force that to happen?
Pirating their IP would imply that we were actually going to do useful things with graphene, such as large-scale desalination for our coastal cities. But we're not doing to do that. We're going to sit around trading legal punches with the Luddite lobby until the tech becomes available off the shelf and cheap from China. Then we can whine about the 'Chinks stealing our jobs'.
Lack of engineers and scientists is not the problem we have. It's the power of Luddites and their lawyers. We would need to import enough Asians to one thinly populated area, say Nevada, to tip the political scales and render the Luddites powerless.
Not for us in the US it won't, because we don't do science/large scale engineering any more, but private efforts, perhaps in conjunction with governments in the BRIC countries, are going to make it happen
The paper copy that is notarized and filed away at the bank includes the reference "Refer to folder X in file drawer Y of my home office file for a current list of online file names, site names and logins." I can easily keep this list current without having to keep re-issuing the official will.
The gyro would be a flywheel to store some of the power of downhills and flat pedaling, to be expended as a booster on uphills. And because a storage flywheel of this kind would at most times be at maximum speed at signals and stops on the flat, cyclists would no longer have an excuse to not follow traffic controls. Your feet could remain firmly in the pedal clips when you stop at the Stop sign.
One little thing I love e-zines for is putting an end to that annoying and worthless "Continued on page 357" convention that print magazines all have. The extra leafing time it took to read one article may have been trivial, but add it up over three-fourths of a reading lifetime and it turns into a major "Why didn't they think of that years ago!"

If your car divides by zero, it's probably a Fiat.

Nice try, but if the Fifth Amendment does not apply in Massachusetts, then the Eight wouldn't apply either.
Politically, Mensans tend to reflect local culture in each place. Ideologues find this highly disconcerting.
What has changed the most since then is a radical move toward balance of the gender ratio.

It might find a niche as a processor that makes money, literally, as in Bitcoin mining.
Lighten up, people! Here, have a coffee, black with stevia.

Any treaty binding the businesses of two or more countries would have to be known to all concerned, surely.
In the UK, that's the normal sentence for defending oneself from a criminal attack or leaving your wheelie trash bin out an extra day.

To put it another way, we require one or zero.
