OK, very funny; but I haven't seen mouldy petrol, diesel, kerosene etc. !!

Err, maybe I'm completely misinterpreting every other post in this thread, but as far as I can make out -- mBTU == kiloBTU; mmBTU == megaBTU. I think you're wrong here, maybe?

Anti-fungal agents? Hang on a second here, I didn't know that fungus could feed on hydrocarbons??

Obligatory XKCD: http://xkcd.com/1102/

So, does this mean they sold two tablets this year? :)

I don't know why no EV manufacturer has thought of this:

Build a small generator / fuel tank into a TRAILER that you can hook up to your EV. This gives you the best of both worlds: for short, around-town trips, you leave the range extender trailer at home; but, when you want to drive long distance, just hook up the trailer and you can travel an arbitrarily long distance. Given the incredible efficiency of EVs, it's likely that a well-designed range extender trailer could give you several thousand kilometres of range.

Heh:

Ask Slashdot: What would be the best question to Ask Slashdot? :)

Only bass trombones (the 'F trigger', and sometimes a 'D' trigger too.)

I like you :)

An historic X would be correct (the adjective starts with a vowel). So would an eulogy (y is really a vowel, in this case).

In both cases, I disagree, because it's just dumb. But that's the rule ... can we change the rule?

Betteridge's law says the answer to this question is, 'no'.

My mistake -- the indefinite article.

Sorry, wrong. The 'correct' grammar as taught to me in school was to use the definite article 'a' when the noun referred to starts with a consonant, and 'an' when the noun starts with a vowel. Critically, this rule *regards 'H' as a vowel*, leading to the correct usages:
  An hero
  An hotel
  An hovel

Personally I think it's dumb to regard H as a vowel in this context, but that's what I was taught.

Draconian Restrictive Monopoly, more like.

I would think not. Bitcoin mining isn't cost-effective on FPGAs any more.
