Yeppers, and I hear the Daily Kos (which I pronounce cha-os, not “cause” or “kose”), was scrubbing its site from some pretty aggressive comments.

There were several other people who bought new batteries from an online source rather than going through expensive Dell. I shall try that first, as the “reset” procedure did not work, and it looks like the pin in my adapter is still in place.
#184 Tedtam, I’d start with the battery. Depending on a lot of variables you can only expect an 18 to 24 month lifespan from them. More importantly, Windoze can only stand so many ungraceful shutdowns before it becomes a vegetable.
Crap. It looks like I may have to buy a new adaptor and/or battery for Baby Dell. It works on AC power, but if my loose cord falls out or jiggles out of place (it’s been loose for a while), my computer just shuts down. I hate not having a battery; I have no grace period in which to reconnect.… Read more »

This TDP talk sparked my interest again: I haven’t looked into the subject in a few years. I found this source of information on TDP and how they ultimately oversold / underdelivered: http://robertrapier.wordpress.com/category/thermal-depolymerization/
There ain’t no free lunches and there ain’t no perpetual motion machines. Fun stuff to think about though.
I’ve also seen where they take the waste from meat processing (esp. poultry) and convert to a hydrocarbon – diesel fuel or kerosene, IIRC. You do indeed recall correctly, at least about the poultry part (the end product of TDP is pretty much light, sweet crude rather than kerosene or diesel). The pilot TDP plant was in very close proximity… Read more »

And I do truly believe, despite our numerous differences, George Walker Bush is the real thing, a genuinely decent, sincere man of honor. However, I always thought that of him even when I was cussing his decisions as President.

The feedstock for TDP is not limited to plastics which allows for more capacity, but in the big picture the amount of oil produced is relatively small. Probably the biggest benefit is the reduction of the amount of stuff that goes into our landfills.
