  1. Re:I have a diesel engine, I run on almost anythin on $1/Gallon "Green Gasoline" In Sight · · Score: 1

    Just out of curiosity, have you noticed which wasteoils affect the cold start? Or are they all added as a mixture? I am curious how much impact they have on cold flow of Biodiesel blends.

    ...enzymes to break down the ENTIRE plant...

    Well, enzymes only work on sugars.

    Also I am a bit dubious about the claim that cellulosic ethanol is made from a waste product. Currently, most of the cellulosic 'waste' is plowed under and used to mitigate fertilizer use. For truly renewable energy, these nutrients need to be replaced. Either with organic material... or petroleum based artificial fertilizer. I do not know offhand if anyone has done an analysis on the entire life-cycle of cellulosic ethanol.

    Hell is other people. And so is heaven.

    After death you "live on" through other people's memories. Good memories are heaven. Bad memories are hell.

    We are stardust. And we are memes.

    Here in Houston they have a proposal to allow single occupancy vehicles in the HOV lane if they pay a toll. The more congestion there is, the higher the toll. Therefore: More Money = Less Sitting in Traffic.

    *waves his cane menacingly*

    When I was in school CS was for people who liked computers but could not hack EE.

    Disclosure: I was an ME. But, I hardly ever hung around with fellow engineering students. To my mind, the whole point of college is to broaden your experience.

    How about:

    SLOW THE HELL DOWN, YOU SELF-CENTERED, CLUELESS MORON.

    Two things:

    1. No matter how fast you go, there is some maniac that thinks you are going 5-10 too slow.
    2. Traffic flow works best when everyone moves at the same speed. Going faster is just as bad, if not worse than going slower.
    In the absence of some other method of forming this social contract, I suggest going the fucking speed limit.
