That has to do with tax manipulation, diesel takes more feedstock (it has more BTU's) and modern cracking plants can be tuned more or less arbitrarily so it's taking more barrels of crude to make the same number of gallons and hence is more expensive. As much as many people like to knock the free market, in some instances it really does work efficiently.
Another use for WMO is in cement kilns, actually all types of waste oil products can be used in kilns. In fact until some stupid NIMBY's get wind of it that was the way the EPA was dealing with with PCB's, the kilns burn hot enough to completely break down the PCB's which are otherwise very difficult to destroy.
Yeah because you can get useable torque out of a small diesel it's often the case that the diesel version puts out less CO2 per KM/mile. As an example the BMW x1 xdrive20d (middle diesel option) puts out 153 g/km whereas the 28i (lowest end gasoline option) is significantly higher at 219 g/km while producing 15% less torque at much higher RPM.
As I said, Linux inherits it from POSIX which inherits from ISO C. On Linux it's defined as __TIME_T_TYPE which in turn is __SLONGWORD_TYPE long int so on 32bit arch it's a signed 32bit integer and on a 64bit platform it's a signed 64 integer. There are oddball systems that define time_t as something other than a signed int, but the vast majority of systems define it that way. I guess the ultimate takeway is to use the standard libraries, never assume what an undefined datatype will be, and never write to disk a variable who's type is platform dependent =)
A tornado can take down anything man is going to build above ground. None of the housing I saw in Germany was going to stand up to an EF3+ any better than your average track home. For an idea here's the description of what an F5 did in 1985 "At Wheatland Sheet and Tube, the asphalt was scoured off the parking lot, and shards of sheet metal and routing slips were left wedged beneath the remaining asphalt.".
No, you can play games with Soul Calibur in the title on other platforms, you can only play the real game in the arcade or on a Dreamcast. There's a reason it's the 5th highest ranked game of all time at gamerankings.com =)
Nobody would, but if you have an older card and want something reasonably quite and low powered that won't break the bank while playing most current games at 1080p and above resolutions then the HD6850 and the GF 460 1GB are probably your best bets. I don't game as much as I once did so my recent upgrade went to an "underpowered" HD 5750, but mostly because it was passively cooled and hence silent not because I saved $50 vs one of those cards.
LOL, we had an OC3 connection just for the dorms in 1997. Unfortunately since then they've only upgraded to a 400Mbps connection on the resnet side since so it's way less impressive now relative to home connections =)
Didn't say the unions did, I was talking about the midwest. There are literally thousands of businesses large and small that have specialties and focus on how to make manufacturing more efficient here. My dad's business at first glance sells chemicals, but the real value add he brings is knowing how those chemicals fit into the customers business and how the customer can improve their process to be more efficient. He's literally walked into businesses, spent a few hours looking over how they are doing a process, and saved them hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Some guy who hasn't had a couple decades of seeing how stuff is done both bad and good won't be able to bring that kind of advice to the client, and that's the situation with 80+% of the vendors in the south because they just don't have the experience base.
To add to that a little, Detroit and the midwest has an entire infrastructure of industries around building physical things. My dad has customers in the southern US and when he goes down to call on them he finds broken process things that are obvious to him just from being in the industry for 20+ years. He often points these things out and tells them how they could improve the process which is probably why he keeps these clients despite not being able to call on them more than a handful of times a year. Fleeing from the unions might save some money but it also costs money by not being able to tap into the knowledge base that has built up over a hundred years.
It's been the situation in the US de facto if not de jure for quite some time as well. Anyone who's under the impression that this is not happening in the US is a fool who's either not paying attention or very much in denial. The difference is that in the US if you use encryption you can plead the 5th and be protected under US v Hubbell.
The 720p streams require a 7-10Mbps connection so I assume they are sending at near 7Mbps with the additional used to handle buffering and fast action scenes that are above the ABR. That's kind of a grey area but I think 720p24/30 will look better than 1080p24 and especially 1080p30 content.
Say the initial tank is good for 2 days, with the initial drop you've provided the equivalent of 20 days with the solar load. If you can't get another fuel drop in in less than 20 days the place is absolutely screwed anyways.
FTFA 24 of them will fit on a C130 and provide water for "more than 10,000 people", so I'm thinking more like 500 people per large unit and that's under ideal conditions. That's as opposed to a more traditional unit about the size of a cargo container that can do 200k gallons a day or enough for 40-50k people. Personally I think for large scale disasters it makes a LOT more sense to drop 2 of those and two fuel/generator sets and supply 10x more people with fresh water since every cargo flight counts.
Low, which means it will actually hurt perceived resolution because it will be wasting bitrate on pixels that will be blurred in the next frame anyways. It's the same reason I always use joint stereo in LAME, why waste bitrate on stereo difference that the brain can't hear 99% of the time when it can go to improving the mid and high end resolution instead (does not apply to all encoders but I find the LAME JS psychoacustics to be quite good).
No, Comcast is going to offer DNS servers that properly handle DNSSEC including passing along signed root answers. It is up to the client whether they wish to accept or reject unsigned domains (or in the case of anti-spam appliances probably give additional weight to non-signed domains).
OpensDNS has the same flaws as Comcast's Domain Helper service (ie does not return NXDOMAIN), GoogleDNS has some issues I can't remember and for us has pretty significant latency.

If you own the car and live in a state that has bond insurance laws you could stop paying the insurance company if you are willing to take the risk.
Uh, Linux inherits time_t from POSIX.

Soulcalibur. Heck the console, game, and arcade stick probably cost me less than the arcade game had taken from me in quarters =)
Nah, 1080p30 takes a bit over 3Gbps and I know most gamers whine about 30fps.

Diablo2 looks best on a Glide capable card, though I just use a Glide->OpenGL wrapper to enable the prettier effects.
Yeah, after I posted I thought about that. Perhaps having both options available is a good thing =)

Good to hear, always glad to hear that the Internet is getting a little less broken. Btw do these recursive resolvers support IPv6 yet?

Here's a decent list of SOHO routers with IPv6 support.
