The point? Alcohol, that has less latent energy in it, can be made to do the same amount of work as gasoline that has more latent energy. This savings in energy is almost like a little free energy from something as simple as ethanol.

Smiley


No it can't, there are less bonds in ethanol than gasoline, which is primarily octane, decane and other long chain molecules.
The enthalpy of combustion can be calculated and verified with something as simple as a bomb-calorimeter where energy loss is minimal compared to something as stupid as an internal combustion engine on a motor cycle.

Gasoline    47.30MJ/kg
Ethanol    29.7 MJ/kg

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion

This is how much energy is required to bring the atoms together and assemble them. Hocus pocus, buzz words and marketing do not alter the molecular structure of a simple carbon chain.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy

This is literally first year chemistry of which you can verify yourself at home, a calorimeter is not difficult to assemble.

Comparing a poorly tuned gasoline burning engine to a properly tuned ethanol burning engine does not add more carbon-carbon bonds.
10:1 compression ratio is low if ones goal is as complete combustion as possible, an aluminium headed gasoline engine would run at 18:1 with proper anti-knock agents(tetra-ethyl-lead) and aggressive cooling.

You have a 3% chance to roll above 97/100, and you are rolling three times.

0.03^3=0.000027

which is 0.0027%. I hope this helps.

Yes, each roll is independent. Product of probabilities.

Black holes, white holes, wormholes, relativity, dark matter, big bang theory, string theory......       Unproven bullshit theories, made by schizophrenic minds.

Better explain that to all the satellites that compensate for frame dragging.

This thread started me on a new project.

I was originally going to get a nes off ebay and a compact flash based universal game cartridge, but that would have cost a couple hundred in total and i'd be limited to nes. So I went the emulator route.

I've setup an old laptop with the hyperspin front end and configured it to run as a nes/snes/genesis emulator. Everything is controlled via gamepad and windows is mostly hidden. Heres a demo of some guys complete setup.

More importantly i've found out about rom hacks that have completely redesigned some games, there are  brand new, to me, zelda, metroid, mario, link to the past games, that I've never seen before.

No it as ridiculous as saying the key to a happy wife is a washing machine.

It is not as simple to learn as you might think. I played baseball for many years, I couldn't pitch worth shit. I also played football and I could throw a football a lot easier.

Throw like a girl means hinging at the elbow and not rotating the arm about the shoulder.

Its the difference between throwing an American football or a baseball.

Try throwing a baseball with a football style and of course it wont go very far.

Most people will "throw like a girl" if they were never instructed on how to properly use the entire arm.

According to legend, in 1989 a team of Russian scientists who were operating under the direction of Dr. Azzacove drilled a hole that was nine miles deep in an unnamed place in Siberia before breaking through into a cavity. Intrigued by this unexpected discovery, they lowered an extremely heat tolerant microphone, along with other sensory equipment, into the well. They listened and recorded (purportedly) the tormented screams of desperate people. The second surprise was the high temperature that they discovered at the earth's center, which was over 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The conclusion was that they had opened a hole into Hell.

The temperature at the center of the earth is 10,000 degrees Farenheit, so 2,000 is not surprising. Plus at that temperature and depth, there would be a lot of pressure, and gasses trying to escape, so I wouldn't be surprised if that pressure moving things around sounded like weird noises some might think sound like screams.

Or it might just be a stupid story that a couple of scientists made up, since we have gone to those depths before and haven't had the same experience. (http://xkcd.com/1040/large/)

For example, the Deepwater Horizon oil drill gets oil from about the same depth as that hole the Russians dug, yet we just get oil. The Marianas Trench, the deepest part in the earth, is about as deep too, and we haven't found any "hell" when we went there either. At least James Cameron didn't say anything about seeing hell. Maybe he's hiding something.

Here is a recording claiming to contain a copy of those supposed "tormented screams of desperate people."

I hope you credited Art Bell...
