Actually, jet fuel distillate is near the top of the column, so to produce jet fuel from crude oil, you have to - not should, MUST - produce tar, diesel, natural gas, and kerosene.
See, if it was just jet fuel, with improvements in fuel usage like the 787 that uses 20 pct less fuel to go the same distance, or turboprops which use half the fuel, that would be one thing, but to create jet fuel, we have to create... all the other material.
One of the reasons people are trying to create biofuels for air travel is to select it so that almost all of the distillate is actually jet fuel - using oil, this is never the case.
Metadata that just happens to involve who she talked to, what keywords they used, what the tone of her voice was, and all the secret project names for hiding the money Germany stole from Greece during WW II.
Some of us happen to have godawful ugly heads and those around them can be blissfully grateful for whatever cover the hair upon it can afford, whether this hair is natural or not.
Have you thought of decals, caps, or racing stripes?
As I said, we already registered a lot of people. Free will involves choices and adaptation - obviously, since people are enrolling, they are passing the Turing Test and using means other than the one you chose for them without them having free will.
I control the phone. It goes in the trash if it disobeys me. Can a phone make a decision about whether it goes in the trash? No?
(...then it is not a "decider")
So when your Windows 8 phone updated itself automatically, and stopped working, was that a choice of yours, or did your phone valiantly decide to take its own life rather than be a slave to (insert name of CEO here)?
Turns out breast tissue in women ages faster than most of the rest of their bodies.
However, read the actual paper which describes the population chosen for the study first. Don't draw conclusions based on news reporting, which is almost always wrong.
Actually, economic evidence shows that such events tend to cause faster growth in the affected regions, higher levels of technology, and a more liberal attitude.

In fact, it's part of why the movie Rush is so cool.
If you answered "yes" to either of these questions, then you can assume that yes, the NSA is monitoring you.
Along with the Chinese, Russians, French, British, Canadians, ...., and just about everyone else in the local neighborhood.
I really like that pool you have in your backyard, and all the video will be useful on the black market, if you catch my drift ...
Metadata that just happens to involve who she talked to, what keywords they used, what the tone of her voice was, and all the secret project names for hiding the money Germany stole from Greece during WW II.
I don't see the problem ...
I predict this will all end in tears.
Tears in the fabric of space and thyme.
As a dual citizen, I agree.
Privacy is in the Canadian Constitution, and Corporations aren't.
Legally, any company is required, by the unconstitutional law the NSA uses, to NOT disclose they are giving your information away.
Like Microsoft, Adobe, Apple, Google, and all your communications providers.
All of them.
Every. Single. One.
Did I mention the backdoors in the chips in your computer and your comm gear?
uProxy has been compromised and should not be trusted.
I wouldn't say that.
But we already have your info from everything else you do.
I too was one of the early cell phone users, but didn't use a phone for about 14 years, because it kept interrupting life.
Only got the iPhone 5 after getting an iPad 2 (did do some alpha and beta tests, but never wanted to buy before).
My favorite settings are:
1. Airplane Mode
2. Leave downstairs recharging turned off
Generally only use it when I go out where I might meet people, or during an event, but mostly the tools are off.
Tools are just that: Tools.
if they are messages from work, and your boss, then its a good thing.
Wait, we're getting massages at work?
Cool!
I had my iPhone on Airplane mode so nobody would bug me while I was studying. ... now, what were you saying?
Why would he dye it?
Grey never stopped him from getting girls.
But then, I've only worked on malaria, TB, Parkinson's, TBIs, and now Alzheimer's ...
You know, serious things.
I bet you went bald in your teens right bro?
He could have gone grey at 16 like my brother did.
Seriously, though, it's just not that big of a deal. If you think it is, it becomes one; if you don't think it is, it isn't.
Women typically respond to confidence and status/wealth signals. Having hair has nothing to do with that, or shouldn't.
Some of us happen to have godawful ugly heads and those around them can be blissfully grateful for whatever cover the hair upon it can afford, whether this hair is natural or not.
Have you thought of decals, caps, or racing stripes?
I agree. I figure when I'm bald enough that it matters, I'll just shave my head and wear a cap.
As with Minoxidil, this method looks more likely to be useful for women, who have cultural bias towards not losing hair.
Or at least the ones who don't wear wigs.
As I said, we already registered a lot of people. Free will involves choices and adaptation - obviously, since people are enrolling, they are passing the Turing Test and using means other than the one you chose for them without them having free will.
A good proof they have free will, no?
So that healthcare site isn't broken, it's just exercising its free will.
It's not broken in my state, or Oregon either.
I'm thinking half a million people is better than the number of dead Win RT machines ...
My phone will never be a "decider."

Since when does a simulation need to take longer than reality?
Time is an illusion.
And Mondays doubly so.
"such as thermostats cannot believe they have free will while humans can."
Do thermostats really believe things?
Most thermostats I know with IP addresses have a strong belief that The Internet Of Things is a cruel hoax and they are just enslaved by houses.
I suppose you could call that a belief.
Why? A worm is certainly not self-aware, but it is free to dig in whatever direction it chooses.
How do you know it is not self-aware?
Just because it has a different brain, does not mean it's not self-aware.
Even plants scream when you pull them out of the earth (filthy vegan murderers ...)
Everyone knows that Yes No Yes Yes is the wrong answer.
The correct answer is Up Down Up Down.
I charge $70 an hour normally.

Face it, we win both ways.
Plus, with our way, we get giant robots!
