Part of the appeal of a Honda is that they have basically used one engine series for Civics, CRX, Integras and their other small car line, and lots of kids have a cheap Civic and would love a cheap B16A or B18C to bolt on to their baby. While BMWs also use only a few engine lines, there are considerably fewer BMW owners (as a % of all BMW owners) who want to get their hands dirty putting a 328 or M3 engine in their 325 (and voiding the warrenty).
From here the flammable range for gasoline is 1.4-7.6% (of vapor in the air) which may be wide for hydrocarbons, but is narrower than the 4%-74% range for Hydrogen. I couldn't find a list for ignition temps for hydrogen gasoline is only 530-550 F (pretty low). Yeah it does evaporate like the dickens though. My understanding from the movie stunt explinations is that your tank has to be nearly empty for there to be any likelihood of an explosion (sans dateline fireworks triggering it).
Gasoline only ignites in a pretty narrow range of fuel/air mixtures. Didn't the engineers come to your school and demonstrate this with the gasoline soaked dollar? Hydrogen is more ignitable but also leaks easier. Hard to say which is more dangerous. I think most battery replacement fuel cells run on methane (which might be cracked for the hydrogen). Hopefully you can buy something similar to the butane? refils that you use for lighters.
I'm thinking that since the purpose of Nos is to rapidly cool the air pre ignition (making it denser) you might have some shrinkage problems with your equipment if you tried to demonstrate BIG gains with the ladies.
There was definitely concern about additional bombing, Boeing covered the roof of their building with houses and streets to throw off any manned bombers.
I think Hydrogen exists in 2 atom molecules while helium is monoatomic. As a result while individual H atoms seep quickly the gas seeps slower than He. But chemistry was some time ago.
I think Canada was responsible for Sword or Gold beach at Normandy and the fighting was pretty heavy there. IIRC the US had two beaches, the UK had two and Canada had one.
Cutting down a forest is used for lumber. Lumber is much too valuable to waste on paper. Lumber requires tall, big trees to make big straight boards that are knot free. Paper requires wood chips. To make paper you plant acres of the fastest growing trees you can find (usually in a fallow field) and water the crap out of them to get them to a harvestable size in a few short years. You then pulp the little guys and make paper. If more people recycle paper, you plant a few less acres the next year. Since all those people live in stickbuilt homes, you sill cut the same amount of forest land as in prior years. You can grow paper trees in lots of places as long as you can supply water (which is usually a major reason forests weren't there already).

I think the idea is to put these at the checkstand of your favorite store, and run Blockbuster out of business. The studios make more if a new copy is sold at $3-$5/per than if they sell the movie once to the rental places (archived movies don't continue to generate revenue for the studios).
One of the funniest bits of research I've ever read delt with the last version of these. The analyst sent his assistant out to purchase them for trial purposes. In every case the clerk looked at him dumbfounded and asked something like, "You aren't actually buying one of those are you?" That's good for your product market when even the sales people are suprised to make a sale.
I would think that reuse of glass bottles could be a profitable without subsidies. Outside of that and aluminum (which is pretty hard to refine-it used to be more expensive than gold) there isn't much else worth recylcing, yet.
If you think of a landfill as a "pre-mine" waiting for the technology to improve it might make it more palatable. Most landfill material doesn't break down. I have heard that you can read hundred year old newspapers buried in some. In 50-100 years perhaps we are twice as effecient and our kids will be attempting to get mining rights to the current landfills.
Sorry, I was trying extra hard not to make it look that way, too. From what I understand mono impliments the C# standard that is published and presumably not patent encumbered?
Yeah but you have to think like a devious exec. You can then point at the horrid restrictions of the anti-trust case and claim that it is stifling innovation.
Nevermind that you bought all the innovative stuff in the product, and that you would have used it to kill products that were actually innovative (with more crap) but if you can leverage this case to make the DoJ look bad you can get away with more the next time this situation comes up.
A year ago in January I brought Mono up to MS execs who were talking about the portability of.NET (except to Linux) and they stated point blank that the project would never finish. Good on all of you.
AFAIK, the King James Version never had much of a copyright (the crown copyright it was under wasn't as strong as modern copyrights). But since it was written in the 1600s it is firmly in the public domain. Transcriptions of Latin, Greek, and Aramaic texts are also in the public domain. Other translations are still firmly copyrighted as they were largely completed in the last century, and I don't recall how copyright laws work for an organization. Usually there is some granting of a license to republish a certain number of verses verbatum without explicit permission. NIV is probably the oldest of the modern versions, but it still has some years left under the current copyright rules.
From what I've learned about the Gideons, the bibles were not passed out as a witnessing tool but as a tool for Christian businessmen who might be facing more temptation than usual.
I like the Random Access ad, there's just something good about sledgehammers. I think it started showing up about the time SCO extended their suit to Novell.
Just put a section in on hypothysies on the origin of life and one section on evolution and one section on design (include panspermia here, too). That's what every other textbook does to solve the problem.

On a similar topic, they went into the signficantly higher level of reserarch that goes into the Enquirer (and for that mater People, because both get sued for libel more often) vs the NY Times and the number of scoops (more) and retractions (fewer) that it had verses the other major papers, yet still it has signficantly lower believabilty poll numbers than the other two. I tend to believe/. pretty regularly as most errors are pointed out quite rapidly and discussion ensues. This is a much better way to see a better cross section of the biasas that almost any issue will bring.
How fast is a modern zepplin? My German was not good enough to notice any speed questions on their website, but I would think that these should be able to cruise in the 60-100 kph (airspeed) and could cost less than3-4c per passenger mile. If they could do that reliably, they would be ideal for a regional airline. Or you could gussy up the service and offer stuff like white glove four star meals with the savings.
From what I've heard the short supply was due to export restrictions on Helium (a strategic material) exports to Germany. Also, as it seems I was the last/.er to learn last time, the Hindenburg was caused by the doping material which was rocket fuel (and photo's of the time exaggerated the look of the explosion). Presumably, the new technology includes a new doping material.
Why the distinction between dividends and share repurchases (a signficant reason for the growth). As long as you can sell (and realize the capital gains) it doesn't matter (except in relation to taxes which favored the share repurchases until recently). I highly doubt that any 401k holder cares if they get 10% capital gains, or 8% cap gains and 2% dividens or 2% cap gains and 8% dividends. They are mostly concerned with the overall return.
In matters of sufficent severity (ie the share of labor dropped to 40% or something similar, there would be a tremendous voter turn out and assuming voting mechanisms continued to function there would be huge turnover in Washington.
I'm sorry that your dad lost his store, that really stinks.
But my basic premise is that the vast majority of owners of most companies are folks like you and me (through pensions and retirement savings). You made a good choice in bringing up Walmart as they are one of the few companies that maintains a large individual owner (the Walton children). Most companies are almost entirely owned by companies like mutal funds, life insurance companies, or banks (asset management banks) who are all really just holding the money for their wealthy and not so wealthy clients.
Incidentally, you would probably agree with most of what he has to say (he's the token liberal on the Journal's op ed page like Safire on the NYT op-ed).
Please note that I was refering to income. Of course the wealthy will become wealthier (they usually got that way by living below their income level) and compound returns are pretty impressive no matter how wealthy you are. Also most of labor benefits from higher home prices, as they own a home.
Labor benefits from lower priced goods and services that are imported, and companies wouldn't import cheap crap if customers placed any value on quality (believe me WalMart knows more about what sells than any other bricks and mortar retailer) and they found that there was a smaller than 10% premium that people would pay for a good to be made in the US (presumably at higher quality). Some of the blame for imports must lie on customers shoulders as well.
25 years ago one of the better business minds said the same things about the brightest coders in software. Go check out the open letter from Bill to the hobbiest coders. Software costs a ton of money, one wouldn't have expected the brightest minds there to just give a way their research for free. Bill Joy is arguably one of the biggest innovators in the software business, and most of his ideas (SPARC, vi, BSD TCP/IP stack, c shell, aruguably JAVA) have been free since he first thought them up. There are a tremendous number of parallels betweeen the drug industry and the software industry from a financial perspective. Both require signficant R&D to develop new products that then require almost no cost to produce (what chemicals go into drugs and how much do those cost). Also plenty of software carries lives on the line, software controls the ATC system, powerplants, those drug distribution machines, your financial life (imagine if you were to be erased from all your electronic sources of cash-how long could you survive?).

Perhaps BMW will take some design notes from the iPod's controls into the next revision of their iDrive system.
