The level of espionage out of China is pretty ridiculous. I wonder how long this goes on before the trade advantage of dealing with them is over weighed by their rampant spying.
If you use good deep-cycle batteries, and maintain them, lead acid batteries will last decades. I've worked on boats with 20 year old batteries that work perfectly well, and have no need to be replaced.
I think that any public company declaring to 'do no evil' is some sort of thin sham, Google included sadly. The problem is that if doing evil will make more money, they are actually legally obliged to do so.
oh yeah, the us coast guard does a great job protecting the whole north atlantic. its really a wonder that other countries bother having a navy at all, and their ships are a common site in the med, and the along the japanese coast... infact most of the sea except the east coast of africa, and the along the coast of malayasia are protected from piracy by the us.
seriously, its not the us coast guard thats reduced piracy, its the fact that piracy is a lot harder to get away with throughout the world. reaction times of world wide security forces, not just american, have gone from weeks, to hours.
well, the gas station on the corner here is selling for $1.05 a litre, and the density of gasoline is ~ 711 kg/m^3 according to these guys a ton of gasoline therefore is around 1.406 m^3, at prices here in vancouver thats about 1476 canadian dollars.
you could probably get a better deal if you were buying bulk, but i believe the profit margins are actually fairly tight in the gasoline market.
it isnt, diesel engines dont vaporise their fuel, they inject it in a very fine liquid mist, and it burns from there. however to make it thin enough, it is injected into the engines at around 95 c, and it is also run through centrifugal cleaners before it is injected.
on the ship i used to work on the fuel was actually thick enough to ball into little mud balls at around 15 c.
thats not actually as silly as it sounds, there are lots of stories of special forces soldiers using techniques similar to those in the parents link to avoid detection...
not saying it would work in an office, but still...

and, I'm wrong... that's true if today is april 24...
Mr Butts
good O`Brian reference.
My country doesn't have the budget, frankly. I'm Canadian.
a valid point I suppose, I'm not certain their not, but they're on my side(ish). Clearly a double standard, but I'm OK with that.

in a high noise/vibration/dust environment?
I think the issue is one of maintenance. things need to be replaced after their life-cycle is over, even if they seem to be functioning at the time.
I do this too. It's nice when I'm somewhere else, and I can use someone's connection, so I provide the same on principle.
'data' is not the plural of 'anecdote'
seconded, come on, this is funny.

ah c'mon... that's gold there! +1 funny.
It's clear evidence of a noodley appendage!
You could counter your neighbour with "gravity is 'just a theory'" as well.

now, if I was defending curling, I know it's my nationality, but hockey's got some pace to it.
yep, I was in canadian army cadets too, and we came to know that green tape as gun tape as well.

all calculations done in metric eh? so i went with a 1000 kg ton, and 1000 L to the m^3

not north korea, not iraq, not iran, not in a military capacity anyway.

damn, i spilt my coffee... thats awesome.
