Oh, so that was my description of the reason for the car to move and for the propeller to turn in the opposite direction to the wind. But the reason why the car is moving faster than the wind is because the propeller is pushing the air from the front of the car to the back, thus it is pushed by the wind forward by the sail properties of the propeller, but it goes faster than the wind by the actual propeller properties, which push the air from front of the car to the back.
I just read the article and here is how I understood this.
This propeller is like an active sail, it becomes more and more 'solid' the faster the wheels are turning.
To understand it, imagine this car without any wind, it's still. So the car is standing, propeller and wheels are stopped. Start moving the car forward by hand, and the propeller attached to the wheels will turn. It will turn pushing the air from front to back.
Now if there is wind from the back of the car, it pushes the propeller, which cannot physically turn that way but acts as a sail and pushes the car forward a little. The wheels start turning and the propeller starts turning a little from the wheels. The area, which propeller covers now per second is a little greater than before and so more wind is pushing the car per second forward by blowing into the propeller. The car moves faster, the wheels turn faster. The propeller turns faster creating more barrier for the wind, it's like a valve that is closing the faster the fluid or air is trying to move through it.
So basically it is a sail, not a propeller, but a sail that increases its area with more forward motion.
Ha ha! So now the joke is on you. Should have known better than dumping the ex, I bet it's painful right now to think of all the money and power and girls/boys the ex'll get as spoils of this little situation!
I understood very well, my point is that in an environment with many various apps, it is going to be extremely difficult to first 'know' them and second to optimize for them. I am remembering a few places I worked at, there is no time for an admin to do even normal everyday activities, like various heat tickets, forget about having time and a lab! to do actual studying of apps and possible optimizations.
Hey, as I said, the advice is wonderful and those who can afford it (like Google I guess) are doing it already.
Like 'know your apps' means anything in the corporate world, especially when apps are custom built, what are you going to do, replace a custom built app with something else? If it was easy like that then why was it custom built in the first place? Sure, some custom apps can be replaced with out of box stuff, but seriously speaking, most cannot, and then your administrator is in the hands of the geniuses in the management, business, marketing, and software development departments:)
AFAIC that qualifies as hacking by you;) When I assign temporary passwords they are a few letters and numbers combined and then I set the system to force the user to change the password on the first login.
I had a Linux machine I put up get hacked once though... I set up a machine for someone and told them explicitly, "CHANGE THE PASSWORD!" He agreed to. He didn't and it was compromised within two days. After that, though, it was all good.
It's true, there aren't any kilometers in Utah, for that matters I don't believe there is such thing as a kilometer. Look at that Google map, it's so small, there is no way there is even one kilometer anywhere on it even at maximum zoom level!
and to the son of a bitch, who just moderated this 'overated', you motherfucking piece of shit, I am truly hurt, as the most caring individual here, you are lower than dirt. Don't like my post - don't read it. You have to downmode it - don't be a pussy, use the troll or flamebait, what the fuck is up with 'overrated' pussyfied bullshit.
First, I was replying to this comment and he or she was replying to mine.
Now to yours.
I doubt that engineers would design the BOP stack with a discharged battery...
That is not the point. The original point was that given the amount of time that these companies had to prepare real solutions to the oil leaking like it is in the Gulf and the companies did nothing. My point is valid, the engineers were used as tools who worked on deeper drilling but not on safety or oil leak/spill solution. And so we are witnessing this in full glory right now - same thing that happened during Ixtoc spill is happening now with exactly the same steps and with exactly the same failures, but SURE they are doing this now 30 times deeper. Good for them.
So again, engineers are not running oil or other companies, management who only cares about profit and not any damage they may cause is running them.
So I am not an oil drilling engineer and I proposed that they need to do something else that they did not look at previously and all of a sudden a bunch of assholes, including that 'engineer' are pissed at me for proposing shit that apparently is 'stupid'. Well fuck them, fuck that engineer and whoever wants to spout bullshit. Were are their solutions that are DIFFERENT and can WORK rather than the same useless crap as before? Nowhere in sight.
So, in short, I think your excoriation of engineers' work generally is a bit misplaced.
- so in short, I was not attacking the stupid engineers, who can't understand what I am saying, I was attacking the BP and other companies involved. If engineers want to take offense, I already said what they can do.
Slashdot Mirror
Replaced with icons that look meaningless like squashed bugs, and names like "My CMOS Settings" and "My IDE Controller"
And Clippy. Don't forget Clippy.
replaced with a keyboardless interface with names like iCMOS and iDE.
Oh, and WIFI, don't forget the WIFI to mess with the iBIOS from your iPhone.
I added this later to show why use a propeller and not a fixed sail. There is a difference.
crap, Desmond Hume must have left the building! We're fucked.

I hope I got this right.

Those Titanians are constantly drunk. That's probably very smart as long as they don't drive.
Large amounts of oil can always fix things, just get the useless fish and water out of it first.
so how is it, working for Sarah Palin?
wouldn't it be more useful to bring a bunch of cats to the red planet then?

Considering iPads are not very good (so I heard) at networking, this may not become a problem.
some people single-handedly try to build subways others put weapons on robots. It's all good.
with a hundred owls you mean? Everyone knows that in the future instead of rats the problem is owl infestation.
and DOM, don't forget the DOM.
