    Solution: More cameras

    Why do you think criminals will be locked up right away? Or at all? People are commonly captured on video shoplifting. Society has to want to prosecute these crimes for the camera thing to work.

    Get the Lead out -- time to stop dragging our feet

    You'll get most of the ethanol out, along with a significant amount of toluene and xylenes also used to increase the octane. Water alone can hold about half a gram of toluene at room temperature, but the ethanol that goes into the water will also carry a significant amount of those aromatic...

    Delta jet (Milan to JFK) damaged in severe weather

    It was the 70's. That was the media picking up a few papers that were published, they were exciting because those papers were contrary to the predictions made at that time.

    How do you spend 87 million on strapping a dozen electric motors onto an existing four seat airframe
