Even if it's -20C you can drop in to river, climb up, and not have hypothermia. Damn cold tho, until your clothes freeze and then it's not that bad anymore really. Tried and done.
Please, before you start talking shit make sure you are talking about same thing.
Octane is a metric, for which a molecule is being used for one of the reference points, which named as octane, and therefore is causing confusion.
Yet octane itself is just a metric. You don't add the chemical octane to the fuel to get the desired octane rating, but the fuel has a specific octane rating.
Yes, i were unaware there was also a chemical called octane, but when talking about octane ratings, we are not talking about that chemical.
Yet there is no information avail of that engine, the only article results in malware warning:) If it would be easily enough doable, reliable enough, those would be in the market today.
Indeed, but it is important we as people don't stop fighting against. And when, if, they manage to pull through this stunt we develop technology further to avoid this:)
Ofc, that's just "good business", force your own laws to others, but cry foul if they try to do the same, little by little creep more power over others while giving none to them. Makes tons of sense.
We are talking about today, not past history, something which happened BEFORE even US existed.
You haven't probably heard that many EU countries too have their own form of "The Declartion of Independence". Also, the root laws protecting citizen rights are not as easily broken here in EU than in US.
Get out from under the rock, and look around. Think PATRIOT ACT, TSA, Homeland security. All the breaches in citizen rights happening there.
They are broken so casually that even tho i'd like to visit US, i simply do not dare out of fear of getting ass raped in GITMO for next 15 years because i carried with me a laptop with encrypted password database in it.
Money: USD has heavy fluctuation. EUR is quite stable in comparison. US has wider margin between poor and the rich, making rich richer and poor poorer. It's harder to strike "little bit rich" in US in that sense.
Commerce: EU companies generally concentrate more on the quality of things, and has countries with the easiest entrepreneurship anywhere in the world, ie. Finland is one of the easiest countries in the world to run a company! and many other EU companies join the same. Companies in EU also enjoy big tax breaks for sole proprietorship, promoting entrepreneurship that way. US is more strict. I've compared forming a company at US and Finland.
Society: Depends on what is meant here. Social welfare? Cultural provisions? Friendlyness of people? Entertainment activities? Culturally most EU countries can't even be compared to US, the gap is just that big. Entertainment: US has Vegas, but we have plenty of "small vegases" all around EU. Often a part of a city. We also have "Free Cities", which are practically under Anarchy. Laws and Citizen protection? Well, we don't torture people, we do not detain them for indefinite periods of time without court. etc..
Art: You can't be serious. Look at France, Spain, Italy. Da Vinci? The Renaissance period? Art movies? Hollywood movies != ART generally, very very few of them are.
The poor: Social welfare saves many of the poor, and helps them get back to their feet. Some of them even become rich after social welfare network has saved them.
The Rich: Yeah, it's harder to be megarich in EU, so US has EU beat right there. But on the flip side of coin, almost every EU citizen can be considered rich, even unemployed poor people.
Military: This is a joke too as well, right? Ok. EU doesn't have it's own military, each country has their own. but no united military. But EU is host to some of the toughest armies in world. For example our army is nothing to mess with, fending off the Russians in Winter War: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_War Russians had 200 times more tanks, 3 times more men, 34 times more aircraft. Russia suffered over 4 times more casualties, while technically we lost, in every sense we won that matters -> we remained independent, we lost some ground tho. This continued to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuation_War
Yes, we are one small country, but a country which packs hell of a bunch per person in active service. Last 10 years there's been a lot of stuff about our military service (everyone has to go) being too tough, our military strategies and weaponry used has been at the spotlight for being too cruel & effective (we swapped to something even more cruel and effective and stockpiled away the stuff in spotlight), and just lately that we have way too much rifle inventory, i think they were Kalashnikov clones they intend to melt now because we simply have too many of them.
Our official stance is to stay unallied because our military is a sufficient deterrent, yet we share a very long border with Russia, and are strategically important location for Russian commerce. Every General knows they are up for more than bloody nose if they pick up a fight with us, what we lack in hardware and technology we more than make up for in "Sisu" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisu, guerrilla tactics, use of weaponry which other countries want to ban us from using. Then you add up our elite being extremely skilled: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simo_H%C3%A4yh%C3%A4 And we are just one small country part of the Europe. I would assume Norwegian and Swedish are some tough guys too, even tho Swedish don't have neighbours to worry as much. and then you count in rest of Europe, with German people, France (those guys don't have any self preservation instinct!) and their Foreign Legion, Italian and of cours
Sure it's specialized, but it's very neat innovation. Now if they can scale it upto say 200k transistors and implement best optimizations, or make a "fore" chip managing all the different cores which puts some of the optimizations there.
Floating point ops can be done in a GPU at immense speeds in any case;)
The only point of those services is to allow people to conveniently distribute ANY content, including movies etc. but not limited to. A cheap CDN for many sites, kind off, to distribute their files.
Just like servers are a way to distribute content, that does not mean they are solely for copyrighted content.
That is impossible to do as long as authorities can close down a business at a moments notice taking all data with them. How do you provide customers something the govt has taken away from you?
No matter how many off site backups they have, this still applies, unless they work under the radar of legal system.
AWS is extremely expensive, you get several other backup solutions for the same money, so solution is to use 2 different companies (or more):)
Those "smart" engines which can control their compression are called "Turbocharged engines":) Turbocharging forces air into cylinder, thus not only changing how full the cylinder is filled, but also the dynamic compression.
On market today is no engines which can change the dimensions of combustion chamber, that is just too hard, to add moving parts absolutely sealed to a moving part or to a part with not enough space. There is some research on going about this tho.
Backfiring is what happens when your mixture explodes in the intake manifold (Used to happen with carburated engines, very rarely on fuel injection engines) OR ignition timing is so far off that the mixture is ignited prematurely causing your piston and thus engine starting to travel backwards ie. -> backfire. This usually happens only when trying to start the engine, if it happens while engine is running it is usually in form of detonation, see below. Both is something "backfiring" is used to describe.
Detonation, Pinging: This happens due to uncontrolled ignition (not to be confused with ignition spark) event prematurely, already at high piston position and at high cylinder pressure. Gasoline burning Pressure peak is occuring before the piston has cleared TDC (Top dead center), thus causing piston to work against the high pressure, making even higher pressure towards the TDC, sometimes causing fatal piston damage. On racing engines working at their ultimate limit of performance envelope, a single, or a group of single detonation events easily leads to fatal failure of piston.
So when a detonation occurs, either the engine continues running on normal direction, or something fails and it continues running on normal direction. This is due to other pistons working as well, inertia from rotating components of the engine.
Octane is not a chemical, or any existing material thing, not a atom, not a molecule. What you probably mean is 2,2,4-Trimethylpentane which is also called as "iso-octane" due to being the 100 measurement point/calibration point.
Octane is a measurement, just like millimeters and Gs of acceleration. Thus there is no octane value of octane.
Ethanol octane rating is 108.6 -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating But not even that is the most important thing why Ethanol is actually a preferred racing gas in non-endurance events. Ethanol stoichiometric value and energy content is so that you can put in the cylinder 48% more ethanol than gasoline, but that 48% more has higher energy content value than gasoline at stoichiometric/MBT (Mean Best Torque) mixture, thus producing more heat, and heat = power.
Lotus achieved 19% performance increase just by tuning when using E85, but that is not fully capable in taking advantage of E85 which would allow also higher compression or higher boost on turbocharged, or combined higher boost + compression. E85 also allows you run more timing advance resulting in higher maximum RPM and higher power output at high RPM.
E85 in racing purposes is actually rather cheap atleast here, it costs almost 1/3rd less -> ~1.65€ for 98E5 and E85 is around 1.15-1.25€ So for same mixture ratio you end up at 1.702 to 1.85€ per "comparable liter", but you also have 19% higher output so for the same power output "comparable liter" is just 1.378€ to 1.498€
On normal driving, if your car is able to leverage the fuels benefits, that translates at best to slightly lower fuel expenses:)
We are not putting a serious effort to get man out there! Yeah, some probes etc. but lunar landing was over 40 years ago ffs!
Space exploration budgets are quite miniscule compared to war effort. Thanks for us being so aggressive with each other, we are not getting ahead as a race and going exploring the vast riches available in the galaxy.
Where would we be now if NASA budget would have remained at the 60s level? What if all countries in the world would put in even some kind of effort in to it? I'd bet the cost to get to orbit would be really small compared to what it is now.

Last winter here was coldest in over 50yrs x)
Even if it's -20C you can drop in to river, climb up, and not have hypothermia. Damn cold tho, until your clothes freeze and then it's not that bad anymore really.
Tried and done.
Belgium sounds like a nice and safe country! :) I've visited there once for a few days over 10yrs ago, liked it :)
"Might" ;D
Yes, ACTA them the hell out!
Wonder how taking down a politician happens in practice tho ...?
and maybe because of that media is not interested to report about it :(
I see remarkably little in mainstream media about any of this

They go for 5 letter ones ;) ;D

German is the same, my dad moved there to work :)
I would believe a few are completely fine with it. Wonder how French look on it.
and USD has been on verge of what exactly for past several years?
Exactly.
