We're not quite there, but we're getting quite close. The important thing to remember is that vehicle-sized gasoline engines are stupid inefficient. you get maybe 25% of the gas in mechanical power, and the rest goes out the radiator. Good electric motors are about 90% efficient.
The car they're using (2010 mercury milan) has a 17 gallon gas tank, so that's 612KW-hr of energy (36KW-hr per gallon). Now divide that by 3.6 for our efficiency gain, and that knocks it down to 170KW-hr of battery needed (a little less than 3x what they're using). Add in the fact that an electric doesn't idle and regenerative braking can be almost trivially implemented and that knocks down our battery requirement even further.
Mcm is an abbreviation for 1000 circular mils (How the fuck they came up with that abbreviation, I have no idea), and a circular mil is the area of a circle 1/1000th of an inch (a mil) in diameter.
Converting that to metric, that gives us wire 18mm in diameter, which would be a bit smaller than 8/0 AWG.
His suggestion by no means precludes your desire. Take APT+synaptic (or whatever GUI frontent you like, or just the command line if you want.), for instance. nice centralized way to get and update programs. But if you want to host.deb files on your own site and not deal with repositories, that works fine too.
There are multiple types of electroshock therapy. electro-convulsive is only one type. Another type called vagus nerve stimulation (which uses an implanted device similar to a pacemaker) is used to treat certain types of epilepsy, as well as treatment-resistant depression.
Has anyone considered the meteorological effects of removing all that energy from the atmosphere?
Yes, and it's insignificant.
According to the NOAA, an average hurricane releases roughly 14 Terawatt-hours of energy per day. According to the EIA, annual global electrical production comes to about 20 Terawatt-hours.
To summarize, one single hurricane can power the entire world (with room to grow) for an entire year if captured for two days.
Now consider how many hurricanes and typhoons there are in a year, how long they each last, and do the math. And don't forget about lesser weather phenomenon like thunderstorms (An average thunderstorm releases about 10 gigawatt-hours) and wind in general, which also release a non-trivial amount of energy.
Couldn't they just package it up and send it to the moon or Mars?
I doubt it.
To move it out of low earth orbit, you would need a large amount of force. The station weights about 370 metric tonnes, and would need to accurate by about 3.5 kilometres per second to reach escape velocity.
The shuttle's orbital engines will give you 53.4 kN of force for 21 minutes. Using that to push the ISS out of orbit would take about 7 hours.
Being as the exploit is already in the fucking wild and being actively exploited, preventing the information from being presented is completely and totally pointless.
That would be Miller v. California and is know as the Miller test. For something to be considered obscene, it needs to meet 3 criteria.
1. The average person, applying contemporary community standards, would find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest. 2. the work depicts/describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct or excretory functions specifically defined by applicable state law. 3. the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value.
I'm not a lawyer, but based on what I've read the general guide is that if male reproductive material is used to produce a child, the biological father is liable for child support no matter what the specific circumstances are.
I believe it was ruled in Ferguson v. McKiernan that a sperm donor is not required to pay child support.
I'm fairly sure the idea is to have the engine spin at the optimally efficient RPM and drive a generator designed to also provide maximum power at that RPM and that will be more efficient than running the engine at any of the range of RPMs required at various speeds.
I don't buy it as :
1. The HSD system already uses a CVT system that keeps the engine damn close to that optimal RPM across the speed range, so I don't see much possible gain there.
And series hybrids are better than parallel hybrids because...?

And, AFAICT, decided to not include it in the constitution.
Gasoline will auto-ignite just fine, it's just much trickier to control when it ignites than with spark ignition or diesel ignition.
Mercades has a engine in development called the diesotto that does this.
the spark plug ignites the gas already, and it BURNS- how much more combustion could you get?
It's not so much getting more combustion, but making the combustion behave how we want it to. And there's a long way that can be gone.
But whether this has any real point compared to other fuels, such as diesel that have a big leg up on gasoline to start with, is up for debate.
Since when is the name of a law required to have anything to do with the content of the law?
Because Microsoft has a vastly larger marketshare. Apple has, what, 10% of the general computer market?

Disregard me please. I screwed up and dropped 3 orders of magnitude. That should be 20,000 Terawatt-hours of annual energy use.
Going around assuming lewdness where none exists can get you into big trouble.
In the US, it gets you elected to congress.

The Fusion-io ioDrive Duo could, but connected directly into a PCI-E slot rather than SATA, but it is definitely possible to make a drive that will.
Wonderful. You now have a password you leave everywhere and is effectively impossible to change.

Relying on a right that is not spelled out in law (or in precedent) in court is unlikely to result in you winning.
Unless I'm mistaken, the Declaration of Independence has no legal standing.

They still own the infrastructure, LLU just requires them to lease it to whoever is interested.

I don't know anymore. This is venturing into Poe's Law territory now.
