Put the positive test lead in the center contact and the negative test lead on the outer contact. A positive voltage indicates a "tip positive" plug and a negative voltage indicates a "tip negative" plug.
Prisons make big money, paid for by tax dollars. The state pays $x/day to a private prison to house a prisoner and the prison makes a profit at that rate. It's extremely profitable
Tape and vinyl aren't compressed, hence they aren't lossless.
Sure they are. You run them through very lossy analog compression where you remove frequencies that aren't recordable on the medium. With vinyl it is important to remove low frequencies that can cause the grooves to overlap. Cassette recordings use a bandpass filter to remove high and low frequencies. This doesn't go in to compression schemes such as Dolby noise reduction, which was an analog compression scheme to store more of a dynamic/frequency range than the tape would allow.
I used to take lots of photos of abandoned buildings, including military buildings, as well as industrial settings such as power plants, water treatment facilities, chemical plants, and so forth. I also did a lot of night photography in these settings.
Numerous times I became the subject of law enforcement attention, but when I showed them my tripod, lenses, and camera they would become friendly, having decided that I was a harmless photo nut.
It's scary to think about what would happen to me if I tried to do this now.
One interesting thing about NG is its link to oil. Many industrial processes can use whatever is cheaper as a feedstock/energy source, so when the price of one goes up demand rises for the other, raising that price as well.
The other thing is that prices are now high enough to make LNG pretty close to cost effective to ship. I wouldn't be surprised to see that take off as prices rise in the next decade or so. The middle east has >10x as much gas as North America, as does Russia.
That gives you nothing. A scammer site would simply provide your cc number to vbv as an alleged customer and pass the phrase/pic/whatever through to you. If there is a CAPTCHA they can have you solve that while you're at it.
It is kind of like the old days. I have heard stories passed down from 100 years ago about buying a kit to make your house, livestock, food, farm equipment, clothing, tools, decor items, even marital aids all from the same sears or montgomery wards catalog. It's just sad that the waltons aren't more like mr ward.
Maybe the plane waits as a courtesy for people attempting to make their connecting flights and a noshow holds up the plane for nothing. That $300 savings for one person just cost the other 200 passengers half an hour and caused a bottleneck at the airport.
While NG does come from fields much like oil, it doesn't get shipped over here from the middle east. Production is domestic. Thus, engaging in wars overseas, for oil or not, won't have an effect on NG supplies.
Actually, nearly 20% of US NG supplies are imported, mostly from Canada. We do get a small amount of LNG from the mideast. That amount is rising.
There is also a good deal of misleading origin information. My mother was injured by some drugs allegedly from a Pfizer plant in Germany, but it turns out the precursors, drug, inactive ingredients, and most of the packaging are performed in China. They simply boxed up the drugs using a robot in Germany and called it "MADE IN GERMANY."
Well, they already have air compressors in space. They already have heavy duty empty tanks. They are already planning on generating this waste hydrogen. I guess they could simply vent it, but that seems like a waste.
Cervical cancer kills nearly 4000 US women a year. This could be reduced drastically by vaccination. Vaccination also provides other benefits, such as not becoming infected with genital warts.
I think it is sad how obsessed with the illusion of safety we are becoming, but this one is pretty reasonable.
You could still use it as fuel. Pressurize it using solar power and use it as an unburned positioning jet. If you're throwing it away anyway, you could get some use from it.
There were lots of mp3 players before the ipod. Lots of people think the ipod was the first good one.
It seems like Apple's formula for success was to wait until late in the game, copy everybody else, have actual marketing, and offer an improved interface.
If it goes anything like the UI changes I've seen, here is the deal:
UI is changed based on the whim of some director. No studies are done to show benefits to the user. Massive user retraining is needed. Director moves along. UI changed back - turns out nobody likes it, it is retarded, and the reason for it existing is gone.
That all sounds great, and I agree with you, but we're a dying breed. Most people under 20 think email is a quaint relic they'll check a few times a week. More and more people my age (pushing 40) have abandoned email, IT professionals aside.
It's sad how often people won't give me their email address. They say they don't use it. They say "What's your myspace?" or "Facebook me" or twitter or some other depressing nightmare. I don't know why people are abandoning the last civilized thing about the internet. I'd say spam, but when I am forced to open a friendster account or some such thing I am inundated with spam.
I've been getting similar marketing calls for months now. My phone won't ring, but I am notified of a missed call. There is no voicemail. The temptation to call back to see what long-lost friend moved to an unfamiliar area code is probably pretty effective.
If I call back from a land line I get hung up on. If I call back from my mobile they try to sell me real estate. The best part is this is all illegal, but the fly-by-night offshore spammer couldn't care less. I don't report them or keep track of the numbers anymore. They're only used once.
Good points. You don't have to get rid of the atmosphere, though. There are plenty of solids that incorporate carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and so on. A self-replicating system like bacteria, yeast, or plants (imagine airborne plankton!) could do this over a long enough span of time.
I admit I don't know how regulation works. My understanding is that the power company would forecast demand 5+ years out and come to the PUC with a proposal for new power generation. After haggling there would be a plan, the power company would build the power stations and get a regulated profit and be reimbursed for the investment over many years. There is plenty of incentive to create enough power, and we have development of many different kinds of power.
I don't remember any blackouts from regulated power, aside from natural disasters. All the blackouts I've heard of have been after things were deregulated.
As far as other states, I know in my home state of Colorado rates are under control thanks to regulation. We have had no blackouts despite a quintupling of the population in the time I've been here. A brief search turned up problems in Pennsylvania and Maryland
I guess paying double with no price stability sounds OK to you, but I don't see the point. I don't see what is so great about deregulation. It costs more than regulated markets, without a single exception. It has ruinous instability although industry and homeowners need constant access. The only positive thing that can be said about it is the opportunity to make huge profits. I guess as an investor I am in favor of it, but as a consumer and believer in the value of stability for industry I am very much against it.

I can't believe they took a swing at evil libraries. Destroyer of homes, lender of copyrighted materials.

Keep looking, they're out there. There are 2 old manual 740s in my circle of friends, but they're not for sale.

Manual transmissions never went anywhere. I always am able to find the car I want in a manual. You generally pay less and get a few more M's per G.

Well said. It makes me sad that you see things more clearly and are better informed about US politics than many US citizens.

You are comparing the golden age of letters with "l8r d00d lol" and twitter?!?
Let me guess: in the future there will be bound volumes of the SMS of celebrities? It is actually sounding plausible.
