Microsoft's WMV9 needs about 3-4 mbps for 720p. Presumably mpeg4 would be in that same ballpark.
You'd probably want to be able to burst to at least 8mbps for complex content without macroblocking (strobe lights, explosions, fast motion...)
Please complete question 7 of the problem set, then get back to me.
7. For this exercise you need an inexpensive tire pressure gauge, which you should always carry
with you anyway if you drive a car. If you don't have one, please borrow one. Then find a parked car (either your own or a friend's), and measure the tire pressure. Also measure the approximate area of each tire that is in contact with the road surface. Use this information to estimate the weight of the car, explaining your reasoning completely. You might as well work in English units (force in pounds and area in square inches). If possible, check your answer against the number printed in the owner's manual. Otherwise, record the make and model of the vehicle so you can check later whether your answer is reasonable.
If both the Prius and the Hummer's tires are filled with 35psi of air, they'll put nearly identical pressures on the road. "Nearly" because tires aren't perfectly elastic. Call it maybe a 5% difference.
Of course, the Hummer will exert its 35 lbs on a lot more square inches at once.
If you spend 6 hours at it, you *might* find an anonymous proxy that doesn't include headers that the great folks at the BBC could recognize to find that you are in the good old "bastion of freedom" US of A.
Hmmmmm... Quite a bit happens, and there is quite a bit of exposition needed to not completely confuse someone who hasn't read the book. 4 hours is going to be a bit cramped.
Wouldn't adapting one of his Known-Space short stories or novellas make for a better start? One of the Gil the ARM stories? Or maybe Protector or World of Ptavvs? (sp?)

"More gas" taken to excessive levels can also wash the oil off the cylinder walls, leading to premature piston ring wear. It also dilutes the oil, causing a decrease in viscosity that can destroy the crank and rod bearings, camshafts, lifters and valve-stem guides.
The slower burn of an overly rich mixture also causes high exhaust temperatures which is hard on exhaust valves and their valve seats.
Finally, it cokes up the head and piston tops something fierce, which causes hot-spotting and leads to pre-ignition.
Too rich is just as damaging as too lean. It just takes longer for the damage to become apparent.
At which point, you go to Google and find what you're looking for at some other site that doesn't do that crap, just like many of us do today with 100% flash sites.
And if the 100% Javascript site sees its traffic nosedive and goes out of business, well, that's their problem, isn't it?

Face it, they've had 1/2 of Expose for years, it's just a matter of putting the other windows back to their old size and maximizing the clicked window to match the feature.
On any tax except a sales tax Florida certainly does see revenue from out-of-state sales. In fact these "use" taxes are one way to ensure that governments can generate revenue from people outside of their juristiction.
Businesses don't pay taxes, they just collect them from customers. When businesses sell exclusively to the government that relationship gets weird...

For bonus points, answer question 8 too.
