JP-8 is nearly identical to Jet A-1, which is the fuel used in commercial jet airplanes and is mostly kerosene. It's not very aromatic and is harder to ignite than gasoline.
You may be thinking of JP-4, which is similar to commercial Jet B. JP-4 and Jet B have naptha in addition to the kerosene.
Google killed off Google Reader because it "only" had about a million users. (Although based on the number of new Feedly users it's likely that the number was a lot higher than that.) Google Voice has about 3.5 million users, and while it has a lot of great features it also has a lot of limitations and quirks that have been there a while and there's no sign of Google addressing them. Now Google says that Hangouts is the future, but I suspect the transition is going to be akin to pulling the rug out from under Google Voice users, similar to the way that Google Reader users were "transitioned".
Full disclosure: I'm not a Google Voice user. I used to be a very satisfied Google Reader user.
Important to note: ammo has a shelf life of a few years. Within a decade, culpability for gun crimes could be much more transparent.
Good quality ammo has a shelf life of a few decades, or more. I've personally fired commercial 9mm ammo that was 25+ years old; it worked just like brand new ammo.
I still have my Casio FX-7000G in my desk drawer. IIRC I bought it around 1987 to replace my beloved TI-58C. I didn't find the graphing very useful, but other than that it was a fine scientific calculator. Eventually it got relegated to the desk drawer and replaced with an HP-32SII.
I believe they missed a big opportunity by not delivering a Verizon LTE capable phone in the $350-$450 range. There is a significant portion of users who are still grandfathered on to "unlimited" data that are approaching upgrade time (e.g., early adopters who bought VZW's first LTE phone, the HTC Thunderbolt back in Dec 2010). There's a large market of people that would choose an unsubsidized LTE Nexus 4 which lets them keep unlimited data for that price. The competitive subsidized phones (i.e. GS3 or Note 2) would only be about $200 or so less but would cost the user their unlimited data plan which a lot of people value more than $200.
The HTC Thunderbolt was released in March, 2011. However, your comment is still valid - a lot of people who bought a Thunderbolt then will become eligible for a phone upgrade in November, 2012. A Nexus 4 that runs on Verizon's LTE network would be an attractive alternative.
I'm all for openness, but I'm not going to buy an "open" phone that's starkly lacking in features. The Nexus One had the best hardware of any smartphone on the market when it was introduced. The Nexus S? Nice, but not spectacular. Galaxy Nexus? Nice, not spectacular, crappy camera. Nexus 4? No LTE - that's a deal breaker for a lot of people. Was the Nexus One a fluke, or has Google given up on trying to deliver a Nexus phone with great hardware?
I was #8 in the jury pool for a DUI case. They were empaneling 12 jurors so I was going to be on the jury unless the prosecution or the defense chose to strike me. During voire dire the prosecutor asked a general question along the lines of "how do you feel about DUI cases?" I raised my hand, explained that I was a computer programmer, and said that I was skeptical of the reliability of breathalyzers because of articles I had read in trade journals concerning buggy breathalyzer software. I was not picked to be on the jury.
I think "glazed glass" means literally glass that's installed in some sort of frame (i.e. the panes of glass in a typical house window are glazed into the window frame). TFA says "advanced window glazing". I think we have a Bad Submitter - perhaps his eyes were glazed over when he RTFA.
My keys, phone, wallet, etc. are always either with me or on top of the tall cabinet that my toddlers can't reach. Fortunately I don't have any pets to worry about (at the moment).
In the last year I've owned three cell phones that were all capable of 3G and all worked fine on AT&T's 3G network.
AT&T currently offers about 18 different phones that are 3G capable. While I'm sure that AT&T is looking forward to a 3G-capable iPhone, I think it's much more likely that their ongoing 3G expansion is more about supporting their current customers and current product lineup than about supporting future products.
Most of them also have a "limp-home" mode, for when things go dead. Its not like the laws of physics (including how diesel engines work) suddenly get suspended. It can be damned HARD to shut off a diesel engine. For example, if the oil seal splits on the turbo and engine oil gets fed into the engine intake - it'll burn, and pulling the manual fuel shut-off won't do squat. I know because I had that happen to me on a Case 780. Couldn't even stall the engine.
What about common-rail diesels? These are now the prevalent type in passenger cars. If the ECU goes out what do the injection solenoids do? I suspect they'll just close up tight and the engine will quit.
From TFA it looks like the 100 Hz number comes from the fact that it generates 100 pulses per second. The radio frequency that it operates is "tunable in the 350-1350 MHz range".
Modern passenger car diesels use a microprocessor to control injection timing, turbo boost, etc. I would imagine they're just as vulnerable as gasoline engines.
That's true, but if you add 1 to that result you get 65537. And dividing either "1000000" or "100001" by 2 gives the correct results. I can replicate the problem as a display problem, but I can't produce any actual calculation errors.
That's technical? It's just some tips (albeit useful ones) on how to build the Second Life client. Don't waste your time with TFA unless you're interested in building the client.

No probably about it. Your cat definitely knows more about economics than Larry Kudlow.

"M" CableCards can decode 6 streams. You'll need only one for a Tivo with 6 tuners.

Overdrive offers library e-books in several formats. All the books I browsed through at my library today were offered in Kindle, ePub, and PDF.
I'm skeptical too. None of the Google Talk messages on my phone have been billed as SMS.

April Fool's deserves the full color treatment!

I'm really interested in trying Fennec on my actual mobile device. Oh well, I'm glad to see they're making progress.

$18 and about five minutes of my time. I hope some kids enjoy the heck out it.

I agree. As far as I can tell this is a display bug and not a calculation bug.
