You are both right - it depends on the temperature, and the temperature of gas doesn't change much in the retail underground tanks.
From this site:
- In ground fuel tanks keep fuel at the temperature it was delivered.
- Oil companies use fuel compensators in Canada so that they don't give more gas per dollar when it is cold.
- Oil companies don't use fuel compensators in hot states (except for Hawaii) because they dispense less gas per dollar when it is hot.
- Large customers like the U.S. armed forces have temperature compensation written into their contracts.
Given that Scientology hates antidepressants in particular and psychiatry in general, I wonder how long it will take them to use this study to argue against using antidepressants.
Another way to prevent SQL injection attacks is to use a Web application firewall. The advantage to using an application firewall is that it solves the problem without having to verify every one of the (possibly many) scripts running on the server.
As a parent who has been forced to purchase a ridiculous quantity of happy meals I am delighted by this
I wonder how your child forces you to buy happy meals? Did you give him a Glock for his birthday? Does he threaten to burn down your home if he doesn't get that happy meal?
Before you ask - yes, I don't have kids. But I'm able to repeatedly say no when I used to get those telemarketing calls. Why can't parents do the same with their kids?
The fact that Comedy Central engages in censorship should surprise no one. After all, how many major newspapers in the U.S reprinted the Jyllands-Posten Muhammed cartoons? Not many. And they refused to print the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons out of fear of what the Muslims would do.
And it extends way beyond China. I see this as simply another example of "yellow peril" thinking. What about the Brits, who want to monitor everything? What about the French, who want to kick people off the net for misbehaving? All this "evil Chinese" stuff is getting tiresome.
I don't recall a top military official in the U.K. or France threatening to vaporize Los Angeles. I do recall a high ranking Chinese general making that threat.
All these Stealth Fighters, are going to give
Air Traffic Control a lot of fun. Look forward to
see a lot a crashes, they is a downside of
planes being invisible, they can't see each
other until they hit each other.
They solve this problem by putting active radar transponders on board the aircraft. When the transponder receives a radar pulse, it sends a signal of its own which is picked up by the ATC radar. This is the same technique that ATC uses to monitor many civilian aircraft as well.
Or you're in the military and you obey an order that is contrary to military law (in which case, unless you frag the person who gave the order, you're up shit creek either way - either you disobeyed an order, or you obeyed an illegal order.
Nope - you are duty bound to disobey an order which is against military law. If you don't, you can be tried and found guilty of a crime. See U.S. v. Keenan.
World War 2 - because ties were cut between Japan and the Allies, Japan had a difficult time negotiating.
July 26, 1945 - Allied heads of state issue Potsdam Declaration

Looks like communication between the two wasn't a problem.
Despite a large amount of controversy CBS not only refuses to take donations by homosexual or bisexual men (despite the fact that every unit of blood that is donated is tested)
There is a window period where a person will test negative to HIV yet still be infectious. Thus testing alone is not enough to keep HIV tainted blood from the blood supply.
With rare exceptions it does not compel people to act. For example if a person is under a doctor's care then the doctor may be taken to task. But a random person has no obligation at all to help a drowning man or even to let others know that there is a man drowning.
In 1999, California passed a law that makes it illegal not to report a witness crime if the victim is 14 and under. This law got attention recently when a bunch of people stood by when a high school girl was gang raped in Richmond, California. Because she was over 14, the onlookers could not be charged.
It is the most prestigious award in Computer Science. Here is what it is given for:
It is given to an individual selected for contributions of a technical nature made to the computing community. The contributions should be of lasting and major technical importance to the computer field.
It isn't as famous as a Peace Prize, but it does recognize real accomplishment.
The remarkable thing is that any 2000 year old bridges survive at all. The city of Pripyat in the Ukraine is falling apart and its been only been abandoned for twenty years.
tritium, tritium and tritium AND Noble Gasses Which Decay Into More Dangerous Daughter Products (Xenon 137, Krypton 90, rubidium 90, strontium 90, Xenon 135, xenon 133, krypton 85, Argon 39). Of course no epidemiological studies have been performed on the noble gas venting which are released hourly from *all* Nuclear reactors. (did I mention tritium) 4000 gallons of primary coolant water PER DAY containing plutonium 238,239,241, technetium 99, iodine 129, carbon 14 and *ahem* tritium
If tritium were so terrible and dangerous, then why is used in things like gun sights that are sold to members of the public? Also, primary coolant water is inside a closed loop - that is why you need at least one other coolant system to move the heat out to the generators. Thus, your figure of 4000 gallons per day of waste primary coolant water makes no sense.
The California legislature passed a revised budget
a couple of weeks ago that solved the money problem (they claim). That means they are now once again
free to propose new laws, no matter how dumb they are.
They are going to use biodiesal because ships usually use bunker fuel which is a very dirty fuel (50 to 100 times dirtier than diesel). There are effots to get shipping companies to use cleaner fuel, and/or use grid power when tied up in port. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5438620.
Vancouver and Toronto airports are both pretty good.
Can anyone explain under what pretense the US gets to arrest noncitizens for violating US law? Any person that is on U.S. soil is subject to U.S. laws, unless you are lucky enough to have diplomatic immunity. What's unusual with this case is that the acts were allegedly committed by the non-citizens when they were not in the U.S.
This has happened in the past - Colombian drug lords have been extradited to the U.S. even though they had never set foot on American soil.
That said, I wish the federal government would spend more time on crimes with real victims,
like identity theft, rather than on victimless crimes like facilitating gambling.
Unfortunately, the Supreme Court takes a very loose view of what the Constitution says.
For example, it considers building a hotel and condominiums as "public use" for the purposes of eminent domain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelo_v._City_of_New_L ondon
Note that all four of the dissenting justices in the Kelo decision were appointed by Republicans.
I agree that this is a people problem.
In Santa Clara County, CA (AKA Silicon Valley) the person in charge of each precinct
is responsible for picking up all the materials needed for the precint the Saturday
before the election. He/She is supposed to verify that they receive all materials that
are needed for people to vote early enough so that anything that is missing
can be obtained on the day before the vote. They even have a checklist
to verify that they get everything that is needed.
I've been a poll worker three times, and this procedure is taught to all
precinct managers before every election.
"A very strong magnetic field compresses the plasma into the thickness of a pencil lead. This causes the plasma to release energy in the form of X-rays, but the X-rays are usually only several million degrees."
X-ray are a form of electromagnetic energy, and as such don't
have a temperature. Temperature is a measure of the average
kinetic motion of atoms or molecules. X-rays aren't atoms
or molecules.
The fact that the writer doesn't know this makes me suspect the
validity of the rest of the article.
According to this, pre-1978 works had their copyright extended to 95 years from the date the copyright was first secured. This was done via the 'Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act". Why would works copyrighted in the 1950's or 1960's be expiring in the next decade?
Given that the International Olympic Committe has chosen to hold their
games in places that grossly violate human rights like Nazi Germany (1936), the Soviet Union (1980), and mainland China (2008), I don't think they
have much moral standing to ban someone for spyware.
I wonder why the company doesn't use a biometric entry system that uses
fingerprints or retinal scans for security? People are less likely to object
to thumbprint scan than minor surgery. And it's probably more secure, given
that RFID can be cloned.

Along with the other hypothetical situations that have been mentioned, what if you need to report a dangerous situation?
California's ban on talking a mobile phone while not using a hands-free device has an exception for emergency situations.
