Russian hamsters are adorable, and potentially traumatizing. I got a pair of them when I was seven. Two months later, I woke up one morning to find the one hamster hunched over the other's corpse. I swear to you: he was eating his head.
In industry, this process is called a water gas shift reaction. This is a *very* mature technology which has been used since the days of gas lighting.
CO + H20 -> CO2 + H2
This wouldn't be the first microbe investigated to replace water gas shift reactors, but previous examples would need to come a long way to even approach the economy of the inorganic method.
As a power engineering student currently studying fuel cells: this is mostly because the operational characteristics of a fuel cell are almost always desciribed as cell voltage (volts) as a function of current density (mA/cm). If I recall correctly, this has something to do with the gram-cenitmeter-second system being used with the first cells.
If you want truely evil units of measurement, you should see what happens when the fuel cells' performance is integrated into chemical reactions--grams, kilomoles, kilojoules are added to the mess.
I swear, someday I'm going to move to a shack in Montana, plant some sheep, and spend the rest of my life using cubits like God intended.
I'd just like to add that this is a perfectly natural thing to happen in a Korean company. Some say there should be a better word for weird. There is; it's "Korea."
We in the West have a difficult time grasping how a Disney-loving, triplet-fearing madman could end up as the leader of an entire country. The answer is simply that if your average Korean had no financial or legal hindrances to being as weird as his heart desired, every man, woman, and child would be just the same.
But most of the music created for video games these stays was still created using MIDI! The file format is specific to the studio application, but MIDI is still used internally to communicate with various synthesizers and samplers including virtual synths that run on the local machine.
I've honestly never heard of someone making that mistake in my life. Are you using some sort of speech to text programme? If not, I think you have an as yet undiscovered form of dyslexia--you could get a disease named after you, CausticPuppy!
When I was in the Netherlands last year, I toured a large wind park north of Groningen. There, under the turbines, I saw a total of:
1 dead bird 1 dead sheep
From this, we can deduce that wind turbines are equally as deadly to sheep as they are to birds. The 800-1300 sheep killed annually must make the Altamont Pass a bloodbath of truely horrific proportions.
But seriously, folks...
The Altamont Pass is a disaster which was produced by irresponsible economic incentives of the time which put up low quality turbines willy-nilly throughout California. Add to that the fact that many of Altamont Pass's are placed on angle-iron framework towers. These make them ideal nesting grounds--well, if one ignores the 30 m food processor out front. Modern towers take great care in leaving no place for avian habitation.
This park's would otherwise be just a regional problem, but, thanks to more animal-focused environmental groups, and the tabloids who eat up their press releases, that wind park is biting us over here in Europe in the ass.
Altamont Pass is, however, the only wind park on earth with this level of environmental impact. Nothing comes close in these regards. A substantially larger off-shore wind park off the coast of Denmark (Knoetby, I think) actually showed that the birds weren't scared off, but instead kept a distance of about 150 m from the equipment.
Rapsani: You killed my brother, how dare you then sleep with my sister! Hajil: No, it was him Gandapana! Look, he's running away. Let's Sing!
Wait a minute--sex, in an Indian movie? Don't you know that sex was banned in Indian following independance? Scientists are still trying to figure out how a country of women who haven't taken their clothes off since the Sixth Century A.D. could have reached the 1 billion mark.
And we do have a royal family, but they don't have anything to say about anything. We're technically a kingdom, but nobody refers to Sweden as "the kingdom of..." y'know?:)
I am humming that to the tune of "United States of Whatever" in Swedish right now.
I've never understood this 4K space temperature. Is there a medium involved? Is this the average temperature of all matter in interstellar space? Is this the temperature a body would take on thanks to ambient radiation?

In Soviet Russia, hamsters eat YOU!
Plus, think of all the chicks you'd get...
Exactly zero.
Remember folks, this contest is in India. No Indian woman has had sex since the 4th Century A.D.
However, scientists are still frantically searching for the cause of India's staggering population growth.
Now we'll finally be able to make an appropriately dirty joke about "dongles."
It's funny how things come full-circle: the George Foreman grill was actually just a spin-off of a prototype Alpha-based laptop.

I have shown more people Andrei Rublev than Andrei Rublev did with his icons.
Call me hard to entertain, but that half-hour of entralling HIGH-SPEED SOVIET HIGHWAY FOOTAGE failed to tickle my fancy.
Does it means $sys$HIV installed without asking when they inserted the media?
"They"!? One at a time buddy!

Ah, the pebble-bed reactor. The only power plant on the horizon whose teething problem is constipation.
Don't forget that you elected him to governor in 2006.
Sure. They did such a good job with the Barbary pirates. The French also invented the guillotine. Of course, we Americans invented the atomic bomb.
Actually it was the Scottish who originally invented the guillotine--they were too cheap to hire an axeman.
Is this how Anti-Slash members go up in rank?

As someone who lives in a dorm full of Cameroonians, I can say it's not the best reason...
How much would it cost to build that excellent shelter and get the Saints to stop sucking?
Just how are most of these designs planning on transfering the energy to a steam turbine?
Additionally, prior to Seymour Cray's death at the hands of a drunk driver,
That's not usually how it works... unless the guy gets out of his car and beats you as you lie injured in your wrecked vehicle.
Hey, that George Foreman grill was spawned from a failed Alpha-based laptop design.
