What is a home chemist going to produce that's worthwhile? The experiment itself. Did you see the word 'hobby' above? That's about it.
I recently build Geiger counter, one from Velleman construction kits. Why? Just for curiosity, and because I always wished to have one (I grew up during the cold war), not because I'm about to handle some radioactive materials.
It's the same with home chemistry experiments. It's about doing it, experiencing the process, not creating some product.
The key is to drive a manual transmission and to hold in the clutch whenever you can(especially downhill) so that the car coasts(runs at idle) as much as possible. And don't engine brake because that is poor form and is retarded. Use your damn brakes.
Explaining how to drive by means of an irony doesn't help much.
The facts are: -cars with manual transmission are more fuel efficient compared to cars with automatic transmission.
-if you are and engine breaking, the fuel consumption goes to zero with modern engines. That's because the car electronics completely stops injecting the fuel when your engine RPM higher than idle RPM and there is no pressure on gas pedal. And your AC and alternator are still working.
All know that Earth is the center, and the Church is the center of Earth! Correct! On top of it, the Pope is center of the Church and Mr. Hankey (the Christmas poo) is in the center of Pope.
After that, center of Mr. Hankey can be described as pure crap, no matter how deeply do we look.
Trees suck up large amount of CO2 when they're growing and convert it into plant matter. When they reach adulthood, the amount of CO2 they process drops off.
Well, explain that to trees in my garden. The bastards just keep growing and growing, it simply sucks to clean all the old leaves and cut new branches every year.
If printed on laser printer, stored same way as really old documents are, your data could restored even after few hundred years. Don't forget to include decoding algorithm and create several copies of your data, just in case.
I had a K8T800 motherboard for an old AMD 3200+ processor. It was considered state of the art and cutting edge and all that...how the mighty have fallen.
Agreed, I own two boards based on VIA chipset - K8M800 and K8M890, and I must confirm they're as stable as any intel based system would be. And perfomance is really well too.
Aero graphics must surely be bad for the environment - it prevents most of the GPU from powering down.
Windows 9x was also bad for environment - it didn't send IDLE instruction while doing nothing, so the CPU power consumption was still at max.
This guy http://estu.nit.ac.jp/~e982457/other/cpuidle/idle.htm has done some measurements proving how silly OS design increase power draw. 15 Watts difference doesn't look much, but just multiply it by number of Win 9x installation.
Windows NT were already using the IDLE command, so what was reason for not implementing it to Win9x, while some freely availabe utilites (Waterfall, Rain, CPUidle) did the job? Shame on you, Microsoft, again.
Do you even have the sense to realize that if what you are saying is true, the CO2 wouldn't be climbing at an unprecedented rate?
All right, enjoy your panic, if it makes you comfortable.
Temperature is mostly affected by clouds, CO2 plays quite insignificant role in greenhouse effect. Now blame hydrogen cars, because hydrogen-powered cars exhaust water vapors.
I really hate this human-inflicted global warming hysteria.
The experiment was performed in Japan, however the italian article is cited. And italian language doesn't use 'h' as a pronouncable letter. Italian uses 'h' only to change pronounciation of other letters, as in 'gh' or 'ch'.
So, Italians who just started to learn foreign languages are having troubles with words using 'h', they pronounce 'heating' as 'eating', etc.
Italian english beginners also tend to speak english words, but using italian grammar.
If you can't prove he exists then you certainly can't prove he doesn't exist. Just another nice example of twisted, incomplete Christian logic. Can you prove
Remember, Christian proof of God are so-called 'miracles'. You can't prove miracles happened, but also you can't prove they didn't happen. Oh! That means miracles could happen! Wait, we have a proof of God can exist, let's start some religion.
Doesn't that mean they have faith in him not existing? Come on now...... faith in a lack of existence, Thats Funny. Believing in something is a faith, however not believing in something is a denial, not faith.
Please describe your definition of God, His basic properties and superpowers. I'm sick of discussions about existence or non-existence of something that is not even properly defined. Even this http://www.skierpage.com/images/southparkgod.jpg is more specific than the usual Christian jibber jabber.
Sorry, but religion can never replace science, or even be placed equal, since religion is just a placebo. However even the placebos can have a real effect on some people too.
There's a problem when a word like Rossvyazokhrankultura is considered *short* for something
It is common Russian way to create shorts. It's easier to say it when you're drunk (also common in Russia) then to spell something in Russian alphabet. Just like 'Gosgortechnadzor' or 'Khosrasschiot'.
If humans could travel at speeds close to c, we wouldn't need to have immortality. The slowness of time would allow the travelers to reach the stars in a normal lifespan.
Agreed. Lot of years ago, just for a peace of mind, I programmed a simple simulation which confirmed that.
If the person travelling would calculate his/her speed from time*engine thrust/ship mass, he/she would discover that there's no light speed limit for the traveller. With enough thrust for adequate acceleration and deceleration, the travel to Alfa Centauri would take few months - from traveller's point of view. On Earth, and on Alfa Centauri also, much more than just 4 years would pass.
What a pity Einstein didn't know The Ludicrous speed.
The rest of the world agrees it is happening right now. Bullshit, we don't.
Everybody knows that CO2 is a greenhouse gas. More CO2 -> higher temperature, plain simple. Simple answers to incredibly complex questions are nice, but in most cases wrong.
Go and see movie 'The Great Global Warming Swindle' and 'Manbearpig',the famous episode of South park.
The antenna design being presented at next week's APS Division of Plasma Physics meeting in Orlando consists of gas-filled tubes reminiscent of neon bulbs.
Hmm, looks like it's gonna be stealth only in Las Vegas..

Not sure about that... In France, stop signs say "stop". (In Quebec however, stop signs say "Arret", but that's a whole other can of worms...)
It also says "Alan" in Wales, but that's different story.

Don't forget to reverse the polarity. You ALWAYS have to reverse the polarity.
While reversing polarity, compensate. Keep compensating, Mr.Sulu.

Easy solution: match each color change with an audio alert.
Any suggestions for my colourblind + tonedeaf friends?
Why the goverment just doesn't do what communists did around the world after WWII?
I mean, why not just change entire country into the prison/labor camp? For 42 years?

When an object is too bright for a CCD camera, it causes excess charge to "bloom" into adjacent pixels. It's a common artifact.
Common? OMG it's the first Mars artifact I ever heard of!

Whatever power kills a car 45 feet away (100 joules) probably won't even blip an engine 450 feet away
It still could kill anything that has antenna - things like cellphones, car radios, GPS.
