Tennessee whiskey is filtered through sugar maple charcoal in large wooden vats prior to aging, unlike the process used to make Kentucky bourbon. Tennessee whiskey is not bourbon whiskey, as defined by Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1, Part 5, Section 5.22.
"Even more remarkable - and even less widely understood - is that in many areas, performance gains due to improvements in algorithms have vastly exceeded even the dramatic performance gains due to increased processor speed."
coincidentally, i read an article a few months ago that said the non-illegal immigrant northern california marijuana farmers were opposed to the broad decriminalization of marijuana for fear that big pharma would get involved and run them all out of business. in turn, this would wreak economic destruction on entire counties (where mary jane is their larges/onlyt export).
As of 2008, the main technical regulations for the Le Mans Prototype classes are as listed below:
* LMP1 - intended especially for manufacturers: minimum weight of 900 kg. Naturally-aspirated engines limited to 6000 cc. Turbochargers and superchargers allowed for gasoline engines with a maximum displacement of 4000 cc and for diesel engines with a maximum displacement of 5500 cc. No limits on the number of cylinders for any type of engine. Homologated production car engines (complying with LM GT1 regulations and at least 1000 units per year) allowed within the same limitations. Fuel tank size of 90 litres for gasoline and 81 litres for diesel engines. Wheel size (maximum diameter) of 28.5 inches and maximum width of 16 inches.
Surely the government would have no reason to lie! Sort of like the East German women that were all drug-free in the '70s and '80s, despite the adams apples and mustaches.
how coincidental you should mention that... today on cnn.com, one of those east german athletes "says sports steroids changed him from woman to man..."
NFL kickers and punters always have new footballs to deal with. In 1999, in order to encourage returns by making it more difficult for a kicker to reach the end zone, the league began using "K-Balls" -- kicking footballs -- that went largely untreated. From the start, they were unpopular with those required to use them, kickers and punters who previously had the ability to knead, scuff, even microwave footballs before using them in games.
Now the K-Balls are handed to them right before the play, leading to those almost comical moments when kickers animatedly squash, punch and push on them just before they are set on a tee.
"The leather isn't cracked," Brown said of a K-Ball. "It's very sharp, the edges are sharp. Sometimes it doesn't feel as if it's aired-up enough. You get a quarterback ball, and that ball's hitting hands, it's popping, it's cracking. The ball expands during the game, so the leather becomes more pliable to your hands. There's a big difference."
I thought I read that those rolls were cause by a control surface malfunction/deficiency that was later corrected. At that altitude, "normal" control surfaces really don't work and all the pilot could do was wait until he was back in atmosphere to right the ship.
I do know for a fact that the flight profile was also changed on subsequent flights to lessen the possibility of the craft entering an uncorrectable roll.
Lets not forget that this is the same guy who nearly killed his test pilot by launching in high wind conditions, because he didn't want to disappoint the crowd below.
I don't remember this. Can you provide a reference?
I understand your point about money, but I think that the fact the people are willing to contribute (ridiculous amounts of) money to the further human spaceflight is impressive in itself.
That said, I think that the (just-announced) X-Prize Cup in 2006 will keep everybody flying. They're giving everybody else two years to catch up and then planning something like 40+ launches over the course of a week. With prizes for altitude, distance, quickest turnaround, etc.

maybe... except baumgartner is military trained.
furthermore, slashdot even allows users to exclude stories by topic...
it's a broad interpretation of a law written to make it illegal to record conversations without the consent of all parties being recorded.
i guess "options > go offline" was too hard to find.
studies have shown that 256kbps AAC is at least as good as 320kbps MP3...
that title is just begging for jokes...

Neither do I, but I love Jack Daniel's. I just don't like that they call it "whiskey", when it's bourbon.
technically it's not...

in 2006, the le mans diesels had the same tank size (90L).
for 2007, that was changed to 81L.
audi has won the last 3 years with their r10 tdi.

this really isn't a big deal... worst case scenario, they'll just have to throw a lot of money at fox to get 'em off their case.

agreed... i don't find it unreasonable at all.
actually, just the opposite.

yeah, but between weigh stations, logbooks and whatnot, those guys pretty much track every mile already.

If you click the squares on the map, it takes you to info (location, strength, etc.) about the quake.
There are specific maps for northern and southern California, as well.
The X-Prize contender from Argentina says they don't need permits there.
