Not sure about that exact model, but most cars will work on 100% biodiesel, it's just that with the variations in the processes no two batches of biodiesel are exactly the same. So they cover their ass on manufacturer variablity and say that 5% is the only approved amount. Basically it shoudl work fine, but if you get a bad batch and it scews up your motor they won't cover the repair.
Journey to Forever isn't a very reliable source, some of the info on there is just plain wrong.
Take anything you read about biodiesel from the homebrwer websites with a healthy dose of skepticism. A good chunk of the people there have no effing clue what they are talking about (admitedly I've seen some *very* knowledgable folks there too, but they are much rarer than the guy that flunked organic chemistry who is putting forward his notion of what should be done)
Um, as you point out it would have been a *third* degree felony. Which is not a *first* degree felony which would have had a 10 years Statute of Limitations, instead having a 5 year SoL. Meaning the judge can no longer be charged for that incident.
So Facebook is going to block links to sites that are full of spam, or attempt to take all of your personal information in order to make money from it...

Isn't the function of the Board to oversee the running of the company by Upper management? The board nominally works for/represents the shareholders. Who would the proposed new oversight committee represent? What happens when we decide that this new oversight committee isn't doing it's job properly? Do we appoint yet another committee to oversee the committee that oversees the board that oversees the upper management?
I don't think the CEO of a company has it as simple as many make it out to be, if any business school graduate could do it for a fraction of the price they would be doing it. There are plenty of companies out there and if anyone with a degree could do the job they would all be leading those companies into becoming much larger and more successful companies.
Because the people that put out content for the computer ship on them. A cheap 4G mem stick is ~$4, to press 4.7G DVD costs them pennies. Until there is a useful way to allow customers to DL onto their own memory sticks, optical will stick around.
Actually I see it the other way, the various industrial entities would love to go after you after a single report or even suggestion of piracy. A 6 strike policy allows you plenty of time to find a new carrier, or find a new way of doing things that are not detectable with current standards.
Although I wonder... the torrent system is covered under copyright/patents right? Could (should they so desire) the holders of said IP make it a caveat of the use of their method that it not be used to entrap users? Maybe it's just me, but turning around and accusing the industries of illegal pirating would be quite satisfying.
If we just put the people to work manually turning hand crank generators we could make that puny number of worker hours per megawatt tremble in fear. Of course it would cost us something like $30 a kilowatt for electricity, but it would be ultragreen energy!
Except that it doesn't take more energy to make than we get back from it; it's just not VERY energy-positive. Let's assume the high estimate that was originally produced of 1.34, so for each unit of energy put into it you get out 1.34 units of energy, so in order to get that 13 units of energy to run your car you would need to utilize around 38 units of energy, quite a bit higher than for gasoline. And there is debate if it is energy positive, that was taking a best case scenario from your end.
Gasoline is about 50% more energetic than Ethanol...
We didn't make the carbon in the fossil fuels, either, we just released it into the atmosphere.
This is not a useful supporting argument. Although I notice that didn't stop you from trying anyway. You're right, we should just stop using anything that has carbon in it. that seems to be your solution to our moving around of lead, so it also seems to be appropriate for carbon. We took that out of the ground and are spreading it around in the air and water too.
Now look here, boy LOL yeah that makes me totally feel inferior, oh golly whatever shall I do.
Ethanol isn't a good solution to a problem, great we take our food supply and convert it into a small portion of our fuel needs. It's a horrible idea, and it can't realistically be used to supply our fuel needs. I'll refrain from making a ball joke at your expense, but if your going to push an alternate fuel supply at least make it something that could go somewhere.
And now we're replacing it with ethanol, which doesn't. yes, it just takes more energy to make it then we get back from it, sounds like a great trade off.
MTBE is still better than lead, because lead never breaks down, being elemental. But don't let the facts get in your way. As you just pointed out lead is elemental, it's not like we made the lead in the environement, it was already there, we just moved it around. But don't let the facts get in your way.
I just checked the videos on the website linked from the article, it appears YouTube has blocked the playing of the embedding videos on Mr. Silvers page, at the request of the owner. It tells me I need to go directly to youTube to watch the videos. Oops.
If I sell a nice laminated card with a level 60 characters account name and password on it, would that be acceptable?

weigh yes, its mass wouldn't change. most "scales" don't measure mass they measure the amount of force applied by gravity on the object (hence the change in weight you feel in a moving elevator or being "weightless" in space/freefall, the mass is still there it still takes a given amount of force to move the object)
Aha, but there is a flaw in your system your idea of 1g is no longer the same 1g it was when the system was devised!
We all know the ocean has risen several thousand feet due to global warming (I saw a graph that Al Gore had it indicated that as little as "just longer than anyone can remember" the world was 50 degrees C coooler than it is now.)
Not to mention that most users blame IT/the manufacturer when they mess up the system. It's liek going to the doctor and yelling at him because you broke your leg skiing, or blaming your mechanic cause you got drunk and crashed your car into a tree.
If people ran to the doctor everytime they got a bloody nose, stubbed their toe, or got a cold I thinkt he doctors would be getting quite annoyed with them too. Or if they went to the mechanic to get the seat, mirrors or stearing column adjusted the mechanic would make them pay through the nose for every visit.
Now the IT guys are expected to answer every dumb question that any user has, and by default the end up talking to the most inept the most, since people who know how to adjust margins or set the printer to print in landscape format just do it and don't bother the IT guys constantly.
Also the biggest diffrenec between IT and other proffesionals is that IT can wear T-Shirt, most other types are shirt and tie environments.
LOL maybe they should plunk down a VCR in front of the customer with a small TV, plug both in, hand them the manuals to both and say "you have 10 minutes to get this VCR hooked up, and have the correct time set." If they pass they can sign up for the internet, if they don't well good luck.

They have a point, we should shut down the sun to protect us from all that harmful radiation. As a bonus Global Warming will no longer be an issue.

Yes a third degree felony it is, which means that it does not qualify for the 10 year SoL that a first degree felony would.

Honestly I'd find a good subduction point and toss it in there, sure it'll piss of the Morlocks... But a little sunlight takes care of them.
