No matter how accurate the model resembles the larger craft the data collected won't be 100% accurate for many reasons. One of the main concerns is Reynold's Number.
This number, basically, relates the size of air molecules to the size of the object. The size of the air molecules are the same in the airtunnel as in the atmosphere. The model, oviously, differs in size from the actual craft.

>>No tax package will ever tell you stuff like "if you only claim 80% of your home office deduction, then you can use the Druss-Knackwurst Act of 1923 to triple your mileage".
I'm glad no software package will tell you this. There is no such beast.
If you have a convuluted lifestyle/pay system, then I'd agree a CPA or PA would be the way to go. Most of us can do it by hand some Sunday evening while watching a movie.
Hopefully nobody gives up!! I'd more than welcome a large (or even small ) over-through of the gov't within the next year. Our country needs the wake up!
I'm s conservtive as can be on nearly every issue, but I'd advocate death for any politician who lies. they're there to represent me, not to make some behind the curtain deals. Find them, prove them guilty, kill them for treason.
If you're not trying to do the best for the US, you're an enemy. I have _no_ issues killing enemies. (Secret Service, parade them through South Jersey if you feel our gov't is in need of a cleansing)
Redneck/Country Boys are some of the loyalist folks around. just don't try to lead them w/ a puszy. They (as everyone else) can smell it a mile away.
The only way to live in a place that isn't a "Nanny State" (your words) is to stick up for all of your rights and knock those in power out of the equation no matter what their stature.

>>If the industry really thought ahead, there would be a UPS built into the power supply, with enough juice to do a suspend to disk. Why this has yet to take place is beyond me.
Flexibility. If you're located in an area served by a large UPS already, having one internally would cause issues. We've had our facilities maintenance folks complain to us because our small UPSs were fighting w/ the large UPS installed for powering the data center. I left electronics back in college so all I can relay is that it had something to do w/ phase and waves.
Integration/Cost. When my PS takes a crap, why should I have to buy another one w/ a builtin UPS? Having individual components makes replacement less expensive.
Efficiency. An external UPS can assist several devices. Is the internal one you prescribe going to be able to power my monitor also or will I not be able to see the screen to save my documents, etc while the computer is still up?
I don't believe these concepts to be beyond most people. surely you could've have come up w/ them if you had actually thought before posting. Maybe you just like to bitch?
>>Just this last week I saw a brand new Dell server in which the hard drives had a plastic cover that made air flow impossible. At another place in the case, there was a fan whose intake was a closed plastic area. Hot hard drives and placebo fans don't improve server quality.
Could you provide the model numbers of these servers? I'd like to investigate further. While I'm not a proponent of Dell, the airflow on any of the servers we've received in the past 3 years appears to be good.
Soundex is a phonetic algorithm for indexing names by their sound when pronounced in English. The basic aim is for names with the same pronunciation to be encoded to the same string so that matching can occur despite minor differences in spelling. Soundex is the most widely known of all phonetic algorithms and is often used (incorrectly) as a synonym for "phonetic algorithm".
>>Why spread them out to 300 locations? The only reason I can think of is to minimize risk of disaster from fire, earthquake and so on. However, when trying to do that, companies usually split it up into a handful of locations. Not 300 locations.
For speed. Having the data available at network crossroads means faster access.
>>So in theory, yeah - I'm for allowing closed source drivers to be developed for linux, because without hardware support, you'll have very little non-tech usership of linux.
So be it. I don't care if every 3rd grader can't run Linux. I want it because it works. And always works. Dumbing down the kernel to allow for a binary only driver to be released by a manufacturer and then forgotten is useless to me.
I understand that (insert your favoite vendor here) needs to make cash, but why not allow for proper driver development? I make sure the device I'm using has wide support no matter what OS I'm using. how can that be a bad thing to the hardware folks?
It may be some type of 802.1x client. The system is pretty easy to get running w/ Cisco. I haven't had the chance to work w/ other equipment. Many linux distors and XP come w/ native clients. If no client is available, the first time a web page is requested, on a given port, the network device intercepts it and displays the login page.
Works well if your users are using webapps. Not so good if they're using 3270 emulation or the like.
Is it still in vogue to request we all imagine we had a "beowulf cluster of blue gene suprtcomputers?"
I wish I was smart enough to have an actual use for this beast. If I were, I'd be able to figure out how to heck to pay the huge electric bill this would generate.
Don't underestimate your ability to miss the point.
W/ the spy conversations going on, it was more obvious that traffic clandestine. When running voip encypted, it's not so obvious. Yes, your uber-cool traffic analysis will show streams more than chunks. So? I could be streaming audio/video. It all about creating a plausible 'excuse'. If the service providers start blocking encrypted streams, they're bound to kill legitimate traffic also. Customers will complain and you can take it from there.
You're very correct. (If it possible to more correct than just normally correct)
VOIP can be tunnled to that it loooks like any other encrypted traffic. Are the feds going to start block:443 traffic because I may be tunneling my weekly call to my mom in the traffic?
I work for a state agencey. I've spent the betterm part of days explainging to the higher ups what a certain technology can do and what it can't.
Has anyone been pondering a way to provide politicians w/ this infornmation?

I realize that headlines sell and flinging mud wins campaigns. I'm probably too disillusioned to think can't be corrected.

wikipedia has a better description of the soundex algorithm here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundex
Soundex is a phonetic algorithm for indexing names by their sound when pronounced in English. The basic aim is for names with the same pronunciation to be encoded to the same string so that matching can occur despite minor differences in spelling. Soundex is the most widely known of all phonetic algorithms and is often used (incorrectly) as a synonym for "phonetic algorithm".
The last time I played w/ spellcheckers, the 'soundex' function was tops. It basically mapped phonetic sounds to values and summed them.
The problem w/ scientific terms is that the rules and patterns that compose a soundex value don't hold up wo complex words.
The same approach may possibly be taken, but the patterns and values will need to refined/redefined.

Google has again worked its magic and scaled down a nuclear plant to fit in along side the CPUs.
The first thing that popped into my mind was that the maps looked really familiar. Didn't Nintendo Power have pullouts "back-in-the-day"?
Dang, going to have to pull out the NES _AGAIN_!!

It's even easier than ncpmount nowadays. There was the novelclient (yep, that's the spelling). It was basically a front end for ncpmount.
