Got it, and I agree. My bottom line: looks neat sometimes, not always worth the bother.
I might use it if the typesetting app manages it automatically and flawlessly. E.g., if it all it does is insert an additional space instead of setting the existing space wider, then no thanks.
Its project manager, Jon Saltmarsh, said Zephyr would be brought down once it had flown non-stop for a fortnight.
"Zephyr is basically the first 'eternal aircraft'," he told BBC News.
Which makes for a decent observation plane, mostly for disaster-area surveillance (dunno military apps, though). QinetiQ seems to agree:
Potential applications for Zephyr include earth observation and communications relay.
I remember reading on./ that the Nasa Pathfinder concept is comparable to a very-low-orbit satellite for practical purposes, even advancing the possibilities in Martian exploration.
Discrimination is really tough to prove, because you must first prove motive and anything short of the decider admitting it won't do.
That said, look at the 2004 recall referendum in Venezuela, which led to an infamous list of signers being published for "verification purposes" (link in Spanish, starting in page 25). After much damage was done (you're informally uneligible in many public institutions if you "signed against the President"), El Comandante himself order the list to be "buried", but obviously it can't be un-published.
So, it's a matter of what you expect from your government and what they expect to get away with. One thing I've learned is that many politically-aware Americans wish to curb the power of the federal gov't.
Yup! Freshly sliced tatties (or some other suitable tuber, come to think of it) go into the cells, and the spent slices go into the fermenter along with other available biomass that farm animals won't eat.
Platinum-based catalysts are expensive, so practical exploitation of ethanol as fuel for a PEM fuel cells requires a new catalyst. New nanostructured electrocatalysts (HYPERMEC by ACTA SpA for example) have been developed, which are based on non-noble metals, preferentially mixtures of Fe, Co, Ni at the anode, and Ni, Fe or Co alone at the cathode.
Even if some university comes up with this plant, we're talking about "developing" (some euphemism!) countries that may not have access to the seeds, or the doping metal. Anyone can rig a fermenter and a still.
Can anyone suggest a simple heat engine for the alcohol?
If you want energy, you could ferment them tatties, distill good 'ol CH3CH2OH and burn it. You might get more watt-hours/spud this way and there'd be no electrodes to replace.
Now, if you actually need small, cheaply refillable batteries for portable devices, this would be nice provided the electrodes don't wear out too much.
I noticed that too, but then read the caption and confirmed my suspicion:
Astronomers caught a glimpse of a future star just as it is being born out of the surrounding gas and dust, in a star-forming region similar to the one pictured above
The astronomers reasoned that it has not yet ignited its nuclear fires because it has not gravitationally attracted enough gas to arrive at the protostar phase. Despite their claim that the object does not have an active core, astronomers admit that it is ejecting streams of high velocity gas.
Why do scientists cling to their mathematical theories when the visible evidence is contradictory? The scientific version of cosmic history denies what is visible - the visible history of how galaxies and stars formed.

Scientists must accept by faith that atoms are immutable - because they used this idea to contrive their definitions, measuring units and mathematical laws. For example, scientists use the idea that atomic clocks dither with perpetual motion to define most of their measuring units. Yet no ancient galaxy shines with the frequencies of modern atoms. To support their creed, scientists invent invisible matter, invisible black holes, invisible space-time, vacuums changing the frequency of light etc. Their universe, by their own admission, is 99% invisible. No pagan myth maker could weave such incredible myths - backed by unnatural, mathematical things - never seen in any lab or photographed in any part of the spectrum.

Why is L1448-IRS2E glowing in microwave and infrared, like ancient galaxies? Why is it ejecting high speed jets like ancient quasars? The Bible states that God calls the stars to continually come out, that He spreads out the heavens like a curtain. He even says He formed the Sun, Moon and stars and placed them in the raqiya, the spreading place. Everywhere in the universe we see a biblical cosmic history - exactly as described in the Bible. The Perseus giant molecular cloud is part of a long steam of similar clouds, a star stream, ejected from the core of our galaxy. In billions of galaxies we see that orbits accelerate outward as matter keeps on taking up more volume and the atomic clocks also accelerate. In a universe where matter keeps changing, you cannot invent an empirical system that can validly decode earth history. But you can see Biblical cosmic history with optics. New telescopes continue to show a biblical cosmic history. How great will be the fall of Western science before God’s powerful Word.
Pakistan's Deputy Attorney General is preparing to also file charges against the blasphemous group Anonymous and his leader 'moot' for their continued and aggravated offenses against... pretty fucking much everything.
In GSM the cell size is limited to about 35 km radius, because the frame length limits the amount of timing advance. CDMA is free from such issues, so the max size is largely dependent on frequency, possibly up to 40 mi depending on TRx power and frequency.
You may want to read it from the beginning- there're 753 strips now. The first ones were old sketches, and later on it becomes a great comic for geeks (I've hit Wikipedia more than a few times to learn what he's about).

I just think she likes the explosions.
Mr. Bay, is that you?
Pornography/erotica is a genre. So are Action, Romance, Documentary, etc. Is there a similar push to create the likes of .action, .docu, and .love ?
And of course, the argument that certain content is especially sensitive hasn't been wielded to lobby for creating .hate, .religion or .violence

Bad ones at that - flat and with a hole in the middle. They make passable bird scarers, and wonderful "tags" for rednecks' cars.
Neither did the CDs - flat, slippery and with a f-ing hole in the middle! (no "your mom/sister" jokes, too obvious).
Seriously, I don't know who came up with such a name.
Man, you like the hard stuff - more like brain damage ;)
Well said. Also, undernourished people in developing nations are mostly lacking *protein*, not starchy foods (that's why many are also fat).

As I said above, it's the 4th result when Googling "L1448-IRSE" (alas). I guess you're calling the author a fossil, since he posted only yesterday.

There are some pics of the actual L1448 here

Hey, that's NOT a great idea!
