Under SI convention units are always lower case and the abbreviation is capitalized only when the unit derives from a personal name.
So 1 watt = 1 joule/second or 1 W = 1 J/s

Metric prefixes mega and larger are abbreviated upper case, kilo and smaller lower case. MWh, kWh

And now Congress is considering legislation to assure that furloughed workers get back pay for the vacation.

Watch closely and you will discover they explode several times from multiple angles.

The 1930s technocracy movement outlined a society without money, thinking that it and "The Price System" inevitably lead to overconsumption and collapse. They suggested replacing it with energy chits equally distributed among the population, valid for one year to prevent debt accumulation.

Lyndon Johnson started the shenanigans with his "unified budget" that included trust funds not subject to budgetary legislation, and over the years Congress used the concept for further obfuscation (such as pinning automatic budget cuts to the unified budget rather than the actual budget).

I have no idea what the current situation is, but the SS trust funds were officially off-budget as of 2005 according to http://www.ssa.gov/history/BudgetTreatment.html

"present law mandates that the two Social Security Trust Funds, and the operations of the Postal Service, are formally considered to be "off-budget" and no longer part of the unified federal budget."

Much of that analysis might be applied to the photon, as a purely mathematical construct to explain the quantized transfer of action between two events having (by definition) no separation in space-time. However electrons are affected by the intervening space even when there is no interaction, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aharonov-Bohm_effect

Big industry was behind both making both alcohol and MJ illegal. Competition from alcohol and hemp products threatened to constrain the profits of Standard Oil, DuPont, and General Motors. Prohibition was allowed to end after Ford was forced to stopped making engines that could use ethanol blends.

  Interesting history here http://www.starchiefpress.com/articles/article35.html.

An impoundment does result in a surprising increasing of evaporative loss compared to the free-river run. So a nominally non-consumptive water use such as hydroelectric generation or river cooling of the condenser can involve considerable fresh water loss, usually only important to downstream consumers.

Cooling towers are by definition totally consumptive and are also comparatively expensive so they are mostly used for nuclear plants which make steam at a much lower temperature than coal plants. Thus the small reduction in enthalpy at the top of a cooling tower translates into a couple per cent increase in thermodynamic efficiency and a significant ~5 increase in profit.

Nuclear plants *could* be run at a much higher temperature, but only the French have the guts to do that :)

My page loads have slowed to a crawl!

That's all that has to be demonstrated for a new drug, at least in the US. Not that it is more effective than a previous drug, only that it is safe and more effective than a placebo. So a new version of an old drug might replace a phosphate group with a sulfate group, and it does not matter if the new drug is less effective than the old one, it can be patented and handed over to the marketing department for another 15 years of cash flow. There are a million variations possible, rinse and repeat as needed to maintain the monopoly and high price.

So swap the passenger compartment onto a new chassis. No special equipment required, drive the chassis into the cab similar to the way tractors pick up front end buckets. If you buy only the cab and rent the chassis then Initial purchase cost would be small. You could switch between long distance, short distance, truck, limo, mini chassis as needed.

Sorry, I have a patent on that. Rounded sticks are ok, at least until I can come to an agreement with Apple.

E.g. adding ip4.sixxs.org to the ipv6 address, http://ipv6.google.com.ipv4.sixxs.org/

Don't know if any allow numerical addresses. Is the ISP providing DNS service for adding your own AAAA records to your routed subnet?

Visual pinball emulates a boatload of the games from the '30s to the '70s, and also has many original tables (I can recommend the Three Stooges) Most are unlocked so you can diddle with the scripts or layout (e.g. flipper length and power).

It also integrates with MAME for playing ROM-based tables.

And that last bit of water comes back during storage in a vented tank. Worse yet someone intentionally cuts it with water to make a few more bucks.

An easy test for water in gas is to put 50ml of gas into a calibrated plastic bottle, add 50ml of water, cap tightly, and shake. Considerable pressure is generated so don't use your thumb in place of a cap . After settling the ethanol and water will mostly be pulled out of the gasoline into an upper water layer.
A dividing line at 40ml means 20% ethanol+water in the original fuel. Dispose of the residue responsibly ;)
