Good idea, but you'll just end up with a lot of illegal migrants off the books doing the work:( One problem is that "small government" by design is about having too few people watching what is going on for any sort of regulation to work.
What do you expect in a place where selling weapons to Iran and Hezbolla is "patriotism" and beating a Russian at chess is "treason"? The aristocrats can do no wrong.
Yes but still vastly cheaper than the power stuff used to be. Those CPUs have mostly been priced out of anything other than military budgets. I think at one point a very sleazy sales guy was trying to sell me an 8 core power machine for around the price I could get three 64 core opteron machines with four times the memory. For some stuff the former would be faster, but still impossible to justify in dollar terms.
Methanol has more chemical potential energy than CO2, and that energy must come from somewhere.
Heat.
This is the same unicorn fantasy that the "water as fuel" people constantly buy into.
Only because you jumped to a conclusion and had that fantasy of it not being a net energy loser. If you take a look at the other comments you will notice that others are a bit more rooted in reality and are discussing the implications of making methanol this way instead of other ways (which are also net energy losers but we do them anyway if the end product is useful enough).
What are the odds that one can power whatever this methane generating device is with solar or wind, so that you can store energy for use later?
Heat is heat, so definitely. An ideal would be a solar thermal thing out on a farm steadily dripping enough methanol over time to drive a tractor - you'd still need to ship in the precursor but not really a lot per unit of fuel. In some areas it wouldn't have to be especially cheap and would still beat local fuel costs over the long term.
I'm keen on a way to make methanol without needing to pipe in oil, gas or the reasonably involved process to make it out of vegetation. If all you need is heat and a relatively small supply of a precursor that could cut the capital costs down significantly and allow it to be produced in a lot of places. It's not about reducing carbon, it's more about energy independance.
Only if (like with fusion research) little is done over those 5-10 years. For example synroc was a year away from production for twenty years since there was no funding for a years worth of work for that time.
Yes but windmills have tiny unit sizes as far as electricity generation goes so they are brought on and offline as needed. Need another 15MW, bring a few windmills online. They are spread around national grids so the wind is always blowing on some somewhere. Tricky to control? Not since about 1970. Your phone probably has the CPU power.
Again, no way this makes sense... At least not for carbon sequestration.
It may make sense if waste heat can drive the reaction, or solar thermal or whatever. I heard something along those lines when it hit the press a few months back Also the possible military, agricultural and mining exploration implications are interesting if it can be done on a small scale anywhere with a heat source. Shipping fuel into remote areas has diminishing returns - hence bizzare stuff like using solar at Dome A in the Antarctic where the panels are mounted vertically on poles to catch the summer sun - just about the least sunshine on the planet but it saves shipping in a bit of fuel.
Or, another way to put it: The N900 clearly wasn't the tech to end all tech when tracking sleeping patterns.
Obviously, but equally obviously the existing function available for just about every phone since 2009 is likely to have led to pulling the plug on a project that is an incremental improvement.
With respect different hardware has been producing the same outcome for years - and you are the one that jumped on my post ignoring that because of SHINY NEW TECH or something. Movement is what matters and there are many ways to find out when it happens.
Please ask it again in a sensible way instead of weird shit about microwaves (did you really mean an ultrasonic distance measuring device instead) - WTF did you mean and what does it have to do with results that you can get in other ways?
How about you say what you mean and then it will be less of a secret thus making communication possible. Deal?
There is that - then there are people who sell fried pork doner kebabs as if they are a middle eastern food (ironically the place near my work that does that is run by Chinese - hence fried instead of grilled and pork instead of beef or lamb).
It appears the hot dog analogy didn't work, or was it just left unread before the reply?
I suspect if something is different enough to stir up protests we are in pork chop in synagogue territory. Either way I really can't see how DarkOx can use it to support an SJW strawman.
Ok then I give up - what were are you thinking about when you replied to my post above about applications for sleep tracking? Something other than applications for sleep tracking?
So you are fine so long as your ISP doesn't know who you are. I suppose that is anonymous for a certain value of anonymous but I think my point stands and not all bitcoin users understand that the tracking information is there and it is the least anonymous currency on the planet.
No. Just as MS Exchange is a suite with parts that do different things a different environment with LDAP and a mail transfer agent can also work together. Sure you understand at least that much? The truly amusing thing is in a thread about a third party addon for MS Exchange you seem to be demanding that I find a single application that provides everything the MS Exchange suite and it's addons can provide. How about we move away from marketing fiction and a bit closer to reality?
This one time, this one guy said something stupid. Therefore, Linux is better.
No, those half dozen times at least in as many different articles. Both things have it but he kept insisting that it was an MS only thing and linux had to "catch up". Amusing.

FFS look up how little wind velocity it takes to turn these things before posting something based on an assumption that it takes a lot more.
Demand varies over time.
No - I mentioned apps where radio waves are not involved and you jumped in. Don't pin your own failure upon me.

The soil magic thing was debunked but people in politics still like it.

Show your working.
An example is an example. In this case the fanboy had the fault and not either OS - so an example of that. What is your problem exactly?
Of course it's weird since it is not correct. I mentioned another way to do things and you misunderstood. Dumbed down enough yet?
Perhaps you should have thought about that before jumping on my post and attempting to propagate your confusion.
