An adequate supply of high volume CO2 which you could release remotely into the intake should work, but would have to be tested, which is something you do NOT want to do on your own engine.
Good thinking; I'll do it on my girlfriend's engine.
Logs don't lie no matter who's using them. You have a problem with logs?
That depends: Does the entity providing the logs have a stake in their contents? Which technologies/protocols are in place to prevent fabrication/alteration of said logs?
I understand why you're posting AC. Sadly,./ has a fawning love of Tesla and Musk that anyone daring to offer even the mildest criticism will end up with their karma in the dirt. It used to be the same around here with Apple and Jobs.

Why add the "Neo One" to the name? You just won a case for a very valuable name in the electronics industry, why go adding extra crap to to let people know that it isn't really an iPhone?
Perhaps the "Neo One" designation indicates phones with a convenient-to-remove/replace battery, and reliance on fewer proprietary technologies than the Johnny-come-lately's iPhones.
As far as I know, there's not a 1:1 relationship between the power in the bomb and the power of the earthquake it creates.
There isn't. It depends on the type of rock, the local seismic conditions, and how well the weapons energy couples to the local rock (which depends on test chamber geometry, the presence or absence of stemming, etc...). Predicting yield from earthquake strength is a very inexact science. (Heck, even determining the exact Richter measurement involves a certain amount of assumptions and black art.)
It would be like worrying about what kind of oil is used to fry your french fries. Perhaps there is a small difference in there somewhere, but you really need to worry about the quantity of oil, not the type.
1 lb. of fries fried in 1 gal. vegetable oil vs. 1 lb of fries fried in 1 gal. used motor oil: Negligible difference.
1 lb. of fries fried in 1 gal. either oil vs. 1 lb. of fries fried in 2 gal. either oil: Life or death.
In my area, I've often seen Chinese LR44 alkaline button cells priced around US$3+tax for a package of six, three of which are stored in a combination laser/flashlight/key-chain/battery-tote.
While on the topic of LR44s, here's a pertinent article regarding batteries for users of cheap digital calipers (e.g., General, Pittsburgh):
Slashdot has long had a solution for avoiding many potential SSL/TLS security-breach incidents: Deny users the privilege of utilizing SSL/TLS and that precious certificate unless there's a damn good reason, e.g., logging in. After that single use, dump 'em back to unauthenticated plaintext.
This same tease & denial technique is employed on all of the rest of Dice Holdings holdings—including SourceForge (albeit in a slightly more lenient manner)—logged-in users enjoy all-you-can-eat HTTPS (and the nightmarish specter of its subsequent compromise); unknown, cookie-free scum can rot... We can't have casual passersby getting fingerprints all over that precious certificate, now can we?

Nice way to cite an article that doesn't say what you claim it does. The answer to the headline question is, by definition, "yes".
Quoting the last paragraph:
My point isn't that the situation is hopeless, although it certainly gives one pause. All I'm saying is we need to dispense with the illusory notion of "alternative" energy, which suggests we'll get to be choosy about energy sources. Sorry, not going to happen. We'll have to use them all.
If you interpret that as a "yes," we'll have to agree to disagree.
Don't get me wrong, Zero Dark Thirty is probably the closest thing in that list to being relevant, but you miss a bigger point -- 0DT takes a very disgusting pro-torture stance, which is pure propaganda bordering on outright fantasy.
I didn't get that impression. Further, on The Colbert Report on 2013-01-22, the director called torture "reprehensible," and indicated that the depictions were included in order to avoid whitewashing history.

I framed my question based upon the understanding that under US law, everything anyone creates that can be considered a "work" (for example, these comments) is protected by copyright from the time the work is created... Am I mistaken, or does the registration process merely serve to codify/insure the rights-holders' claims?
Napalm B is made with polystyrene—most Tupperware products are made from polypropylene, which is insoluble in gasoline.
Adding heavier petroleum distillates only serves to lower the gasoline's energy density and its ability to dissolve/stably mix with the gelled polystyrene—find something else to do with your Vaseline.
Plastic jar, nails and screws, fertilizer, newspaper, and matches = shrapnel bomb
A hole in your plastic bomb casing tight enough to form a proper seal wouldn't allow your newspaper fuze to burn through to the interior.
By "fertilizer" I'm guessing you're talking about ammonium nitrate, in which case you'd want to add diesel fuel or nitromethane to your shopping list... COTS fertilizer from Walmart isn't a proper explosive.
Bleach and ammonia = mustard gas
Not unless "mustard gas" is your name for chloramine, the antiseptic commonly used to disinfect municipal water supplies.
Statutory damages for copyrights are always awarded per infringed work. The only discretion for the fact finder is the amount, which can vary anywhere between $200 for innocent infringement to $150,000 for willful infringement. But it is always per work, which means that it doesn't matter if two people saw it or ten million. This is exactly what is happening in the RIAA file sharing cases, by the way. The damages are so large because there are lots of infringed works (e.g., if you shared 10 songs, damages could be up to $1.5 million).
At whose discretion is the delineation of what constitutes a single "work?"
To elaborate: If a P2P user is sued for allegedly sharing (for example,) two albums of equal play-length and file size*, each in its own monolithic archive file (e.g.,.rar), but one album contains ten tracks and the other is a single-track DJ set, would a court more likely consider this two, or eleven works/infringements? If the latter is the norm, couldn't, say, a publisher sue for each chapter/recipe/etc. contained in an book, and so forth?
Not necessarily... In the case of the first situation, I imagine that revealing one of these devices to a boyfriend or girlfriend would not be pleasant, at least not unless/until the patient's S.O. responded with acceptance. I included the latter situation due to the reported supplemental abuses experienced by some passengers reliant on various medical device(s), at the hands of TSA thugs.
The tube should ameliorate some of the dangerous effects of repeated exposure to gastric acids by the sensitive tissues and teeth of the mouth and throat, so there is that...
Sure, but the same benefits can be achieved via do-it-yourself nasogastric intubation, using a length of latex tubing and a hand-pump from the hardware store. No surgery, no inter-abdominal infection vector, no awkward situations in the bedroom or airport, and a total investment equivalent to a plateful of cheeseburgers.

Good thinking; I'll do it on my girlfriend's engine.
Cutting CO2 mainly depends on technology (or cutting the standard of living, which most people don't want to do), aimed at two areas:
1) Non-emitting cars. Electric cars look more viable every day; it's not inconceivable that most people could be driving them by by 2050.
I'm not so sure... have you seen this review of the Tesla S? :o)

I can't say when there was a time when "venerable" would describe Internet Explorer. It's pretty much been despised its whole existence.
I'm guessing it was used sarcastically.

The moon is probably valuated many zillion dollars, give the tidal effects and romance industry that it fuels. Who's up to catching it?
I saw this on The Straight Dope recently: What's the moon worth?
Cecil Adams also estimated its "theoretical value" at "countless zillions," but currently "not worth jack."
There isn't. It depends on the type of rock, the local seismic conditions, and how well the weapons energy couples to the local rock (which depends on test chamber geometry, the presence or absence of stemming, etc...).

What is "stemming" in this context?
What makes you think NK wont turn into a US puppet state anyways, only now with nukes?
Can you give an example of a realistic scenario in which that might occur?

Even Vietnam could whip up a better sim than stealing one out of a common game.
I'm not so sure; North Korea's driving simulation technology approaches a level of sophistication not seen since the heyday of Pole Position.
