Ok, here we go - someone check the math. http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/fs095-01/ Tells me the mean amount of mercury in US coal is 0.17ppm. We will assume 100% of said mercury enters the air. We will also talk about 100 watt incandescent bulbs to make the math easier.
450 grams of coal are burned to deliver 1 KWh to your outlet.
I was going to work out a full hour-by-hour comparison - but there is not need. I the case is B/W enough, unless someone can convince me less than 4% of mercury makes it up the stack.
Accepting for a moment that your statistic is true, which I don't believe, it is a lot easier to put one scrubber on one smokestack to remove the mercury (and other particulates and pollution) than it is to prevent the escape of the mercury from hundreds or thousands of households using CFLs.
I, too, would like to see a citation on the "incandescents cause the release of more mercury than CFLs contain", but likely will end up working out the math myself. Will post here when I do.
The main point, though, is: Scrubbers are primarily for sulfur dioxide. They are also used as secondary ash collectors, rarely as primary ones. Precipitators (and rarely bag houses) are for fly ash.
Neither of which will catch (much) mercury vapor, and these are about the limit of pollution control on coal-burning American power plants. Can't speak for other countries.
The total cost of ownership of an average car is ~ $0.50 a mile. Can we assume a 2 hour trip is ~100 miles? The cost is closer to $50 (one way) than the $26 you quote.
You are also grossly underestimating the maintenance costs of a bus. $0.10 a mile it is not.
So $100 vs $65 - bus wins on cash considerations. Cost of time is a whole other story.
This is from the man who by his own admission doesn't use a web browser. He's becoming more and more like the Ayatollah - issuing edicts about things that he barely comprehends and has never actually tried himself.
Why are you attacking the man and not his argument? What part of his argument relies on his personal use of a browser? He is discussing the underlying conceptual issues, not the aesthetic design of modern web pages, for Eris' sake.
The PR filters are obligated to affix some mention of "climate change" to many things. The physicists attempting to (re)measure minute changes in Earth's gravity field are probably oblivious to whatever state the atmosphere might be
No, rather the non-minute changes in water/ice distribution causes significant differences in the created geoid model.
I think it's much more likely that they don't want someone ripping off their iPod OS for their own $39 Chinese knock-off device. Nor do they want people to be easily able to reverse-engineer the app store protocols and hack the thing for their own profits
You are ignoring the difference between encrypting your firmware and using a bootloader which only loads encrypted code. They could have easily done the first and not done the second.
As I stated later in my post, this comes solely from the DVDs I have viewed, while in what I called "Pacific" nations. China, The Philippines, South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Mariana Islands. I'll admit to buying some, but the vast majority of ones I have viewed were provided by "hotel rentals" from the front desk. I was shocked the first time I saw one, as the disc was silver and had a silk-screened label.
As for "crap to support my viewpoint" - I didn't realize I had an agenda to push.
What proportion of pirated movies are from in-theater cameras?
Well, outside of Oscar season the percentage of early-run pirated movies which are from in-theater cameras approaches 100%. CAM shots (normally hand-held camera and the camera's microphone (which is what this procedure would target)) are often first, and I have seen plenty of bootleg DVDs which are this. TeleSyncs often (but not always) come second. (Sometimes they hit the scene first.) They are normally tripod-mounted cameras and patch-in for the audio (hard of hearing feed, or direct feed if in the projection booth.) These would also qualify as in-theater cameras, though this technology presumably would not affect them, as the time-delay measurement-from-known-speaker-positions-technique would not apply. Again, I have seen plenty of bootleg DVDs which are from this source.
It is true that DVD rips are the gold standard of "pirated" movies, but it is quite common for those to be the third or fourth release (after TeleCines or R5s or Screeners sometimes.)
I guess my point is that in-theater-camera releases may not be the most popular on bittorrent sites, but they are very prevalent, in my experience, on the streets of Pacific nations.
Do democrats even realize that they do in fact have a majority and don't have to cowtow to the Republicans?
Come six months time (when this stimulus package has yet (if it ever will) work) certain Republicans have already promised to say "I told you so!" and wage a holy-war of bullshit on the airwaves. Without at least the appearance of bipartisanship, the democrats have little defense against this (unreasonable*) attack.
*Sure it's unreasonable, but when has that ever derailed a good attack?
You can run Foobar2000 off a thumbdrive at work if you want a Windows media player almost as spartan as VLC and with even more comprehensive library management than Amarok.
So tell me again you can't acheive 170mW on a general purpose CPU. If you'll do the math you'll see we not only run a CPU (often dual-core at that) but also the D/A converter, the bloody screen, the stinking LCD controller, and every thing else in a smaller power budget.
http://www.rockbox.org/ Our code is open source. We beat Apple's runtime on the 1st and 2nd gen. Period. We don't use any "hardware decoder" on the iPods. Period.
In fact, we beat 170mW power consumption on playback on every single CPU decoding device. That's 42.5 ma @ 4v LiIon. We beat that on every single device.
Code is there, battery discharge curves are there. Battery capacity numbers are there.
Either you keep making up shit or you read the facts presented to you a day ago.
I've only cited a dozen documents. Please cite one (which isn't a repeat of one of mine) which supports your position.
It's amazing how we run Rockbox and Linux on our iPods, get better battery life than Apple with Rockbox on the iPods you quoted, yet are too fucking stupid to realize there is an untapped MP3 decoder in there!
Where on that wiki page you link do you see any reference to hardware MP3 decoding on the PP5002? The PP chips are dual-core ARMs System-On-Chips. I even mentioned twice the iPod/PP connection. I am not sure what new information you are bringing to the table outside a demonstration of your poor reading comprehension.
And to the suggestion that there is a "hidden" MP3 decoder on the recent PP chips - Rockbox and iPodLinux have done extensive examination of the (undocumented) chips by looking at the original firmwares which uses these chips. There is no hardware decoder, period.
800C is above the melting point of aluminum, which the case for all hard drives made in (at least) the last two decades are/were made of. I rather think it would be hard to hammer that to the thickness of foil.
In any case, I have seen people conversing with fairies and "tasting sounds"
I spent about half of my college years trying to achieve the sensory crossover I had read about in 5th grade health class. I'd be up for another attempt if I had a source for LSD today.
True. Of course, the control station is also announcing its presence rather loudly... the people we're fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan don't have the tech to take advantage of this
Two things: 1 - the control station is only announcing its presence loudly if we assume non line-of-sight radio use. The CIA and USAF have been rapidly moving to LoS radio and laser communication (satellite bounced) for their UAVs. The control station may be in-theater or: 2 - there is no reason to park your control station anywhere near the battlefield. The USA is very capable of controlling their UAVs from the continental US, where no opponent outside Russia could likely strike.
That combined with the fact that the UAV software is quickly progressing to the point where you can "park" one over a target site and it can operate autonomously for long periods, only requesting human intervention when a "key event" is detected and there is little reason one pilot can not control an entire squadron.

900,000 grams of coal burned for this light bulb over its 20,000 hour lifetime.
153mg of mercury in said coal.

http://ipodlinux.org/wiki/PP5002
Where, exactly, do you get your information that there is a MP3 decoder in that SoC?
Perhaps you're thinking of this PP brief? http://web.archive.org/web/20061202104706/http://www.portalplayer.com/products/documents/5002_brief_0108_Public.pdf
You're confusing (assuming this is where this rumor started) a hardware feature and the capability of the ARM core when using their (PP) SDK.
Where on that wiki page you link do you see any reference to hardware MP3 decoding on the PP5002? The PP chips are dual-core ARMs System-On-Chips.
I even mentioned twice the iPod/PP connection. I am not sure what new information you are bringing to the table outside a demonstration of your poor reading comprehension.
And to the suggestion that there is a "hidden" MP3 decoder on the recent PP chips - Rockbox and iPodLinux have done extensive examination of the (undocumented) chips by looking at the original firmwares which uses these chips. There is no hardware decoder, period.
Ok, sick and tired of those who don't understand what is in a DAP:
iPods:
http://ipodlinux.org/wiki/Generations
Note they are all ARM processors with no hardware decoder.
Older ones are PortalPlayer
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PortalPlayer
Newer ones are Apple labeled ARM chips
Also note on the wikipedia page how many DAPs use these chipsets.
Again, not hardware decoders.

look up the chip numbers - general purpose CPU, no hardware decoder.
Do you want me to link more?
So wrong.
iPods, Sansas, Zunes, all the iRivers, they all decode on general purpose CPUs.
Rockbox is in no way, shape, or form Linux.
"Informative"?
Name one modern MP3 player which doesn't use a general purpose CPU and decode in software.
800C is above the melting point of aluminum, which the case for all hard drives made in (at least) the last two decades are/were made of.

One hell of a jamming technology to block the laser to satellite communication of a high-altitude plane.
