AvGas is not just high-octane gasoline. It also contains TEL and other things that are necessary to make sure aircraft engines do not fail in flight. It also does not contain Ethanol, or many of the additives that are added to motor fuel that would cause damage to piston aircraft engines.
That said, it is not unheard of to use MoGas in a piston aircraft. Many engines have been demonstrated to survive just fine on Unleaded MoGas and have been issued an STC that allows its use in those engines.
Jet Fuel, like home heating oil and kerosene, is simply #2 fuel oil. However, Jet-A and other aircraft use fuels have been formulated with additives and other blends not to gel at low temperatures. After all, it's about -55C at 40,000 feet.
My State is one of them. We have to pay Use Tax on anything purchased outside the state where sales tax was not paid. And, if sales tax was paid, but at the lower rate, we have to pay the difference.
There's a line item for it on the state tax return form, and reporting less than a certain amount is an automatic audit.
At 16, she is horribly addicted to all of these things. We had my dad's 70th b-day party over the weekend and she sulked in the corner the entire time with her face buried in her phone. When her dad tried to take it away so she could, you know, be involved with the family on this momentous occasion, she threw a temper tantrum I've not seen in anyone other than a 5 year old in the candy aisle at the grocery store.
She's like that any time I see her - buried in the phone.
Let's say your only options for Internet service are to buy it from one of two companies, each of which is also a content provider.
Let's say that you buy your content from an online streaming provider, such as Netflix, and decide not to buy content from your ISP.
Let's say your ISP gets pissed and decides to meter your Internet service, except of course data traffic from their content farms.
This effectively kills all online streaming providers except for theirs. We're dealing with this here where AT&T just put caps on their DSL service in our area. We can no longer effectively use Netflix for movies as it only takes about 5 movies to exceed our cap.
Of course, we can buy cable TV from AT&T UVerse if we want...
See how that works? Net Neutrality, from what I understand, forbids ISPs who are also content providers from making moves such as this, right? Or, do I have it wrong?
Car insurance premiums depend on statistical markers indicating the likelihood of you having to file a claim. Currently, statistical markers include age, marital status, credit, make and model of vehicle, and so on.
It works. Most major auto insurers are healthy companies able to pay claims almost instantly, and the actuarians have it worked out almost perfectly so that those who claim more or are statistically likely to claim more, pay more.
I pay a lot more for life insurance because I am a pilot, and I have an athletic injury rider on my heath insurance that pays for advanced care for the treatment of sports-related injuries (road cyclist) - for example it will pay to fly me to an Olympic surgeon in Colorado to have an IM Pin Fixation (1 week off the bike and guaranteed union) installed in my collar bone should I have a bike wreck and break it - as opposed to the standard figure-8 brace and 6-8 weeks off the bike and MAYBE having a good bone union.
I'm a higher risk of death and medical claims because of things I do, and I don't mind paying for it. Why should obese smokers not have to pay for the higher risk that is due to the choices they make? And, what gives them the right to reach into my pocket and forcefully take my money to pay their medical bills that are the result of those poor choices? After all, the government is going to get its tax money out of me one way or another and use it to pay their medical bills for them.
You are misinterpreting the bill. This bill is saying "You are not allowed to reach into your neighbors pocket when it comes time to pay the medical bills that are the result of treating the consequences of your own poor individual choices."
They also promote "personal responsibility" where your bad decisions are not allowed to cost everyone else money. The tax only applies to those who wish to have the taxpayer pay their medical bills for them. If you don't want to pay the tax, then don't be a deadbeat, get a damn job, and buy your own insurance and/or pay your own medical bills.

Shouldn't it say "AMD Bulldozer will NOT bring a socket shift to PCs?"
A socket shift is when the newer generation is not compatible with the former, however in this case people can take a Bulldozer and just drop it into their AM3 socket and have fun. I don't see how that is a socket shift.
I definitely hear you there. I have some older motherboards running nice new processors as well, however what I am running into now is these older boards' lack of support for AHCI is putting a big wet blanket on the desire to use SSDs on these older machines.
But, it's definitely nice that the 1090T I just bought for my AM3 board can move over for a new Bulldozer when the initial prices wear off in a couple of years, without making me spend a fortune on new RAM and another new board.
Nuff said... and no, I've never played violent video games. The closest I've ever come to playing violent games was playing Quake 1 CTF for weeks and weeks almost 24/7 in college... but Quake isn't that violent...:p
That doesn't mean that the justification for releasing code under an open license is to "let users trust the service."
Releasing Facebook's code will not "let users trust the service" because most users, and I imagine the overwhelming majority of them, wouldn't know what they were looking at. It would not enable them to trust the service any more or less than before.
It would enable a few users, let's call them group G, to trust the service. The remainder of users, call them group L, would then have to trust Group G. This has the same trust problem as trusting Facebook in the first place, so nothing is accomplished.
Facebook's code is their property, and they have every right to keep it secret. If you do not trust Facebook, don't use it.
Most Facebook users have no clue how to read javascript, so releasing code will not help them. They would in turn simply have to trust another potentially untrustworthy source for information about whether Facebook's code is harmful.
How is it stalking when the alleged "stalked" are intentionally publishing their location data?
People who constantly "check in" and publish their exact GPS coordinates online 100 times a day have no right to bitch about people following them around online.
You suffer from that "all peril" disease that is sweeping the world. The main symptom is the belief that all things must be designed to withstand anything that could conceivably go wrong, and if it does not, then it was necessarily a design flaw. Lawyers suffer from this disease more than any other group, but it is even spreading to engineers and dorky slashdot types.
Were an asteroid to have hit the nuclear plant, you would be up in arms about why nuclear plants were not designed to survive hits from asteroids, and you'd be calling it a nuclear accident.

Seriously, every cell phone and IP-enabled kitchen appliance out there does not need a live IP address...
The Concorde didn't burn AvGas.

The real reason Internet2 was created was to let kids at different schools play Quake against each other with lower ping times... that's it.
There was a massive earthquake followed by an equally massive tsunami that buried the plant under 10 feet of water. That's what happened.
Earthquakes of that magnitude are rare. There have only been 6 in the world since 1900, and none of those were in Japan.
You're precisely right, and this thread is proof of it.

Does this work for Netflix when XBMC launches IE to play the movie? I've yet to get any remote to work in IE/Netflix in XBMC.

Not only will they be smaller, but I believe they'll incorporate some kind of functionality that will allow them to replace the telephone as well.
