Eh. The scammers use "stupid shit" as the bait because that's what works. If "intelligent shit" started attracted the most clicks, they'd start using that instead.
OK I'm all confused now. Just answer the question, is "Why Apple Is So Sticky" safe to click on or not?
that one time a year(if that) where you have to go further then the cars range you can always borrow or rent a gas powered car
buy one of those little cargo racks that stick on the back of SUVs etc that fit a 1 1/4 inch hitch and are just about the size of a modest gas generator, like one foot by two feet... Most people use them to strap down a beer cooler, or maybe to strap down gas and propane tanks. I'd strap down a small gas (or propane) generator.
The tesla roadster, when actually tested by someone other than tesla, only had a range of less than 60 miles.
Yeah, but lets be honest here, that test was 240 quarter-mile drags complete with tire burnouts. Not only did they need a charge, but they needed a new set of tires after that abuse.
Seriously. I don't understand all of the hate being thrown at BP.
Something few people understand, is relative risk. We know practically nothing about this accident, might be a one in a billion chance at a BP operated well. So we give them the corporate death penalty, because they have a lot of money and the workers of the world need to unite, so lets smash them and everyone working there will simply work at their competitors, etc. The problem is, someone else will run the wells, and what if their competitors have a one in a million chance of the same accident? And what makes anyone so certain that their competitors so morally and ethically superior that we need to hand them profit on a silver platter, just because their competitors are unlucky?
The unlucky aspect is interesting. The mob rules mentality is that a James-Bondian villain did this on purpose, thus punishment and retribution is vitally important. What if, after investigation, it turns out to have been random chance? Then all the hostility would have all the meaning of viciously attacking someone for selecting the wrong lottery numbers.
One thing for sure, the world is full of "people" whom jump at any chance to destroy others, regardless of any reason or logic. If they later get the reason or justification, thats nice, but they are by no means interested in it as a prerequisite.
the USA taxpayer and consumer will bear the brunt of the cost of the cleanup
and have an unlimited supply of $$$
You may wish to meditate on the relationship between the above two quotes. Where exactly does BP's unlimited supply of dollars come from? I don't think you realized how closely those two quotes are related.
I will be shocked if they are held accountable in the end
Relatively little oil is pumped out of the GoM and shipped around the world to Saudi Arabia.
If by "they" you mean the USA taxpayers, its only fair if we're the ones burning the oil, that we're the ones paying to clean it up.
The only difference between "BP" taking our money at the gas pumps to pay, or the USG taking our tax money to pay, is whom has a more efficient cash handling system, whom can skim more money off, etc. Generally BP works on a cash in cash out system, whereas the USG spends about $2 for every $1 taken in taxes, leading to national debt, which is somewhat beyond the scope of this post, although it is another minor difference.
You have to realize that all those recent estimates are generally from folks whom financially benefit from enhanced estimates of reserve size. Its kind of a game on "theoildrum.com" to guess just how much they overestimate vs what is actually produced.
Typical example from wikipedia quoting some initial reports from 2008 "The condition and size of the Carioca/Sugar Loaf field has yet to be clarified[1], however there is speculation that it could contain between 25 and 40 billion barrels["
Probably around 10 billion barrels. Seriously. Undersea wells can produce unbelievable amounts of oil.
10 BBL would be the biggest entire-field discovery of the last half century, at least. I think no oil fields in the last quarter century have been found above single digit billions.
Actual production from a professionally managed well, in a legendarily great field, that undergoes multiple enhancement and recovery operations, would be a world record setter at 100 MBL or so.
Since this is a hybrid gas/oil well, and in a "eh" of a field, and nothing kills future production like overproduction today, I think a high guess for this well would be 5 MBL liquid oil.
Assuming constant production (huge mistake), 5 MBL producible, and a reasonable leak rate of about 10 KBL/day, the well would stop on it's own sometime next summer. If you believe the idiots whom claim its leaking 200 KBL/day (more than any historical well has ever produced under any circumstances, as far as I know), it would have emptied out a couple weeks ago.
However, wells actually produce in an exponential decay, more or less.
For every barrel of mud pushed down that equals one less barrel of oil spewing out of the pipe.
Are you a vegetarian? Its entirely possible to push so hard you pop the casing like an overstuffed bratwurst on the grill. That image is why I ask if you're a vegetarian, as you'd be unfamiliar with it. Actually if you're a vegetarian, maybe the old trick of stuffing dried beans into the crack of a rock, then soaking them until they split the rock might appeal to you, and is a partially correct analogy, but not as good as the overstuffed brat.
I guess the best Slashdot-automotive analogy would be if the head gasket leaks oil because the pressure is too high for the damaged gasket, overfilling with oil to the point of hydraulic locking the pistons is likely to be the only thing you can do to make the situation even worse.
The problem is we KNOW we have a weak casing and/or weak cement problem to the extent that its pouring out 15K barrels/day (or whatever, it does vary). One certain way to damage a casing and cement job is to pressurize it. One certain way to pressurize it is to pump stuff down there. Combine all of the above and I'm thrilled to hear they stopped before they burst that thing wide open.
are they pursuing the only thing sure to work, which is drilling at a tactically chosen spot of the same oil field to relieve or nullify the pressure at the leak?
Correct action, wrong intention. The goal is to fill the well, from the bottom up, with heavy mud, just like when it was drilled. The "only" way to do that, which always works, is to drill the relief well. 100% odds of success. It just takes "about a quarter" to do. If you want to get all technical about pressures, the goal is to get the pressure due to the drilling mud to equal the down hole formation pressure... then theres no flow. (Once nothing is moving, you replace the heavy mud with heavy concrete, with predictable permanent results)
Or are they really going through all options sequentially, with the least costly and fastest solutions first.
Correct action, wrong intention. Its all PR. The stuff they're trying is basically PR with a slight chance of working and minimal odds of making the situation worse. I'm surprised they don't have the FIRST robotics schoolkids working on it for PR purposes, etc. For PR reasons you can't show the relief wells digging deeper for three months on TV every night, even if thats the only thing that'll work for certain. Also depending on random luck, three months is about the minimum time required. Unlike everything done so far, it'll work for certain, but it might take... six months due to problems, who knows.
Some good life-advice is anyone whom tries to promise how fast they can dig a well, other than setting a finite lower time limit, is basically either being vague to the point of uselessness, talking about averages, or is a total B.S.er.
Well, this accident was sort of the worst case scenario in that every fail-safe mechanism failed.
Its worst case in a hell of a lot of other ways:
1) Timing. Wells kick all the time while drilling, but while you're drilling you've got the mindset and equipment to work around it so you don't get blowouts. Cement jobs fail all the freaking time, but thats OK since you've got a hole full of heavy mud. BOPs, being mechanical devices in the ocean, fail on occasion, but thats OK because four nines of uptime, combined with un-used rate of four nines, means no problem for about eight nines. Too bad it all happened at the precise worst time.
2) Geology. Despite whatever the idiots on TV say, this is a hybrid gas/oil well not an oil well. A leaking oil well is no problemo you just suck up the oil at the source. Can't do that on a hybrid well because the methane hydrates from the gas clog up the works. Also oil gushers rarely catch fire and vaporize the platform, TV movies excepted. A leaking gas well is no problemo for the TV newsies because nothing washes on shore. Turning the GoM into a big methane fizzy drink is not an ecological ideal but its not, relatively, as bad. So, if it were a pure oil well, you'd have an intact platform uncontrolably squirting oil into a supertanker tied up next door, or worst case you'd be able to capture about 99% of the oil at the source. Or if it were a gas well you'd probably still have sunk the platform and killed everyone, if not even worse than it was, but there would be nothing floating ashore. Also the geology of the bottom of the GoM is completely unknown to the newsies so you get idiot ideas from people whom refuse to understand that the bottom of the GoM is a thousand feet of muck. They think its like the "little mermaid" movie where its all solid granite, and all their ideas reflect that inaccurate assumption.
BP knew for a fact theirs didn't work and ignored it.
You need to add a cite when you state something that ridiculous.
BP knew they had a problem when they brought huge chunks of rubber and again ignored it to continue drilling.
You must either have, or be quoting someone with, no industry experience at all. They call them "pigs" but they're basically big rubber stoppers with some molded in scrapers. After you pour in the cement, you put this (usually) rubber stopper on top and then push the works down the hole using the mud pumps. That makes sure there is no cement stuck in the bore. Not surprisingly, you drill thru the pig once you start drilling again. Not surprisingly there is all manner of rubber junk brought to the surface. There is actually an interesting way to fix this problem, by passing some sort of international UN binding law that annular BOP confinement rings may only be manufactured with yellow seal material and pigs/plugs/etcs may only be manufactured with, let say, red seal material. It has to be international in scope or else the contractor whom last worked in Saudi where all the pigs (err, sorry for kosher joke) are yellow, so when he sees yellow seal material floating in the mud tank his reaction would be "eh just a drilling pig".
The worst part, is when everyone on the rig is highly specialized, if some laborer sees "stuff" in the mud tank, his opinion about it isn't worth a whole heck of a lot more than the average dude on the street, because of that high level of specialization.
They knew they were engaged in risky behavior, they cut dozens of corners, shaved the rules, lied about their problems, and did anything at all to cut their expense and increase their profit.
And thats different from every other person and every other company that has ever existed, exactly how? Careful throwing those bricks in your glass house. Ah, you go first...
I think it's only fair to invite them to leave the country permanently
Who, the suits at BP whom frankly are more of a financing shell company (like GE or to some extent the old GM), or the american and foreign contractors whom actually did the work that failed, or the govt regulator types that can't be everywhere all the time? Your plan does seem like a very efficient way to remove all the personnel with experience with these problems who also have a high level of motivation not to make the same mistake twice, so in the long term, I think your plan for revenge will come back to bite you.
In addition to the on going environmental damage 11 men were killed - personally I think there is a case of culpable homicide to answer, and BP employees should be charged.
The suits at the top get charges, but the guys whom did a bad concrete pour get away with it?
Considering the peak for low earth orbit is around 350 km
ISS is around 380km... just saying. Also despite appearances at launch it doesn't pop straight up and down like an elevator, so the actual path traveled under power is somewhat longer than you'd think. And on landing, a crappy 3:1 glide ratio or whatever doesn't sound very impressive, but it starts from so very high altitude, that it does add up (err, multiply up, or you know what I mean)
So I wonder what they would do with the abandoned shuttle... spacewalk and fix it, leave it to safely deorbit?
Almost certainly fill it with garbage then deorbit into the pacific. Would be highly embarrassing to have it survive reentry, so they'll probably do something interesting to see what happens like intentionally auger it in.
The time required to make a tile, test it, ship it up, somewhat exceeds the fuel cell fuel excess capacity, once they shut off they freeze and its all over.
Also the adhesives are best applied on the ground, hard to tell what damage there is underneath the tile inside the wing structure... its pretty much a total material loss, but at least no lives will be lost, assuming the relief shuttle makes it up safely...
In "big" transistors, silicon is doped with other elements, to a very high ratio silicon/other element (can't remember, but I recall something aroung 10E6 ratio)
So when you have only seven atoms, what happens?? (ok, I guess this is already a problem with current tech, but still)
I'm guessing the doping ratio is somewhat higher, like 33% for the emitter and collector, and 66% for the base?
That does seem a wee bit high. I'd like to see a 4 atom diode, while you're at it.
I think you're missing the motivational value. Theres a pretty big jump between "I don't want to eat crap" and "I merely have to not screw up enough to get fired". Well, maybe not so much where I work. But in general, I mean.
Are there any 2-D bar codes with enough capacity, and a bar code reader system with enough security holes, that I could get a tattoo on my arm that could infect random windows boxes?

Two years later we get:

Petrobras says its only 4.5 billion barrels.
Similarly, one can read news.google articles watching Tupi estimated drop over the years from above 8 billion to now only about 5 billion.
The oil biz is somewhat less transparent and open than most slashdotters are used to.
Probably around 10 billion barrels. Seriously. Undersea wells can produce unbelievable amounts of oil.

However, wells actually produce in an exponential decay, more or less.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_depletion#Oil_well_production_decline
So, the well will never quite go to zero, but once it drops to less than the battleship Arizona leak rate, I think we can stop worrying.
For every barrel of mud pushed down that equals one less barrel of oil spewing out of the pipe.
