The gases released by burning Vegetable oil are the same ones absorbed by the plant as it was growing. It's a natural process.
The reason fossil fuels are a problem is those gases were taken out of the environment millions of years ago over a period of millions of years and now they're all being dumped back over a century.
They did this on Mythbusters, they took used cooking oil, filtered it, and put it into a standard Diesel truck. It ran perfectly normally.
As they observed on the show, the only reason it's such a cheap source of fuel is because it's a waste product now. If people start using it as fuel, it will cost just as much as Diesel fuel does.
What if someone used their notebook PC for that one purpose?
Anyway, the device he saw was clearly hacked together. There's millions of people hacking together projects at home. Ever hear of the ambient orb? Before I did, I'd embedded an RGB LED in my USB keyboard that sets its colour based on web events.
In fact, I was at MP3.com at the time, I got to physically touch the first MP3 player ever made.
MP3 started as a software codec on computers. It's pretty much impossible to define what is the first MP3 player, except maybe the desktop of the person who wrote the codec. Even though it mentions portable, laptops of the time could run the Codec too. The statement is just meaningless.
The passage from 1:27 to 1:31 makes it very clear God created man and woman concurrently on the sixth day. 2:1 says God is finished his creation and 2:2 says on the seventh day he rested. Throughout chapter 2, God introduces Adam to various places and creatures in his creation, then decides Adam is lonely so he should create woman.
Chapter 1 is very clear that they are created together on the sixth day. Chapter 2 is very clear that a lot happens between them. This conflict arises because Eve was not the first woman mentioned in the bible, there was some imperfect revision work done to delete the earlier references to Lilith.
That alone should prove how stupid their arguements are. A museum is a place you go to question everything so that you can learn. You don't go to a museum to accept everything blindly.
I'd go to see another point of view. Creation and Intelligent Design scientists offer a much needed dissenting voice. They keep scientists honest(see Hoaxes List) and bring up interesting problems that the theory of Evolution must overcome.
Creationism and ID are just plain wrong and for a very simple reason.
The premise is that creation is too complex, to fantastic, to perfect, etc to have come about spontaneously, therefore some intelligence, "GOD", must have created it. This is easily disproven by backing up a step. Who created this God? If God is something that was always there (ie is a natural phenomenon), why can't the universe and humanity also be a natural phenomenon? If God were created by something else, who created that something else?
In other words, these people find it too fantastic to belive man just came about naturally, but not too fantastic to believe god just came about naturally. Their argument just falls apart.
Gen 1:27: So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Gen 2:22: And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
So in chapter 1, God creates both man and woman at the same time from his own image. Then in chapter 2 it goes on for a while about how Adam is alone so God creates woman for Adam from Adam's rib. We're 2 chapters in, and already have a self-contridiction. I would enjoy discussing this apparent contridiction with a beliver such as yourself.
Genesis might be funny, but the Creationism Museum's "Eyeless fish in caves" explaination is hilarious.
It fairly accurately describes natural selection but then explains that doesn't conflict with creationism because it's a "downhill" change. Something is evolving away.
Maybe it will be for the best if this story becomes the norm. If it just happens in a few rare cases people (and politicians) will ignore the problem. If it happens a lot the system will be abandoned.
The company doing the copying owns the DVD while they're doing the copy. It's their fair use right to put it on the iPod. Then they resell the DVD (also their fair use right) and include the copy they made, as they have to do.
I tried out scriptlance as both a renter and coder. As a coder I always got underbid until someone was willing to do a 20 hour plus project for $10 (with $5 of it going to scriptlance). Then I figured if it's so cheap, I may as well get help with my own projects instead of trying to make extra cash with it.
As a renter, I got a bunch of bids from people who clearly didn't read my proposal or have any idea what I was asking for and what it involved.
Would you hire a former jewelry thief to guard your jewelery store? Giving him full access to your security system and allowing him to be in alone at night?

Uhh...HELLO?

That problem does not exist for vegetable oil.

That's why friends episodes cost nearly $10 million each to make. 6 Actors each getting $1.5 million to produce 20 minutes of content.
Without these sponsors paying for garbage ads, maybe we get some decent content that doesn't cost 8-digts for 20 minutes.
Where does one acquire these aviation snips?
Some basic tin snips should work fine, you can get them at Home Depot in the tools section for $10-20.

Okay, let's have a discussion.
Gen 1:27: So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Gen 2:22: And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

From the linked site it sounds like it's a great place to go for a laugh.

What I've found most useful is Graph Theory and Formal Languages. I have a B.Math in CS and I've used just about every kind of math in my CS work.
Calling something the best Second Foundation Trilogy books is like calling it the best way to see a beloved childhood pet tortured slowly to death.

Not so good imo.

Someone at CBS actually has a brain?

When I order from ledshoppe.com or qualitychinagoods.com there's no hidden tarrifs or any taxes.
I'm sure it has more to do with collecting money. It's very hard (or impossible) to tax.
So? When I buy things overseas like electronics parts It's not taxed because it's very hard (or impossible) to tax it.
That wasn't fair.
It's an insult to bimbos.
