I pay into 1.5% of my salary above 30K Australias universal health care and am happy to do so. It works very well. We have good health care for everyone. If you want private insurance you can have that too, and get a tax rebate.
Our government spends less to give universal health care than yours does to NOT provlde it.
For a given span the higher the aspect ratio the lower the drag at the low speed end of the low drag bucket.
If one designs a wing to produce a certain wing span the the bigger the aspect ratio the LOWER the drag at low speed, but the lowest speed ios then higher.
To make it really simple, my 3 meter model can never be as efficient as a 15 metre span glider.
Of course a larger wing produces more drag, AT the same Co-efficient of lift. IF you use the extra lift available the drag would be higher. If not then the drag could well be less than a small wing at a high angle of attack, at a higher speed too.
So a bigger wing at a low angle of attack can easily produce less drag than a smaller one at a high angle of attack, for the same ammount of lift.
At a higher speed of course.
It is not as simple as a big wing produces more drag, wing loading, etc need to be considered.

Prince Andrew served with distinction in the Falklands. Prince Harry wanted to serve in Afghanistan, and did for a short while until the press embargo was broken. At that point his presence would have increased the danger to his men to an unacceptable level so his commanders removed him.

Good old Credence.

"What I've seen is that some chargers power any USB powered equipment (including those on my PCs and laptops) and other wall and car chargers only power *some* USB powered equipment"
Quite so. We glider pilots have been using IPAQ 31X navigators which also use the mini USB, and have found they will not charge at a rate sufficient to run the unit without feeding 3.3v on each of the USB data lines, it seems these are used to tell the unit to switch to a fast charge.
The slow charge mode flattens the battery if charging and operating simultaneously is required.
Mark Scott the bos of Australias public broadcaster ABC gave a speech in which he castigated Murdoch. A few quotes;
"When you have been so powerful and dominant for so long, it is hard to believe that empire is slipping away. You want to believe you’ll see the green shoots of recovery, the good times coming back when advertisers start spending again. These surviving media giants - successful and profitable for decades - are used to shaping their audiences and their worlds. The habit of command is hard to break. And any deference to audience power seems acquired only when all other possibilities have been exhausted. The latest example is the push by newspaper proprietors, led by Murdoch, to get people to pay for their content online. After nearly 15 years where the vast majority of online news and information has been free. When Rupert Murdoch bought The Wall Street Journal, he indicated he would look to drop the paper’s paid website. But now in the saddle, he looks to transplant that paid content model to all his newspapers. And he is keen for other newspapers to fall into line."
Yeh sure. I buy lots of laptops for work these days. A hundred or so this year.
I would not trade my current Dell E6400for any Mac(ASUS really)laptop.
You cant get a processor this fast in a Mac at all. You can only get a Mac with a processor 2 levels of clock speed slower-and costs 30% more for the same spec otherwise.
My current Dell hibernates and resumes in less than 20 seconds for each. If you cant get a windows laptop to go to sleep in less than a minute you should hand in your geek card.
In fact a Mac is probably just the thing for you, particularly if you find computers a pleasure (as I have noted before thats why Apple round the corners, so it hurts less when you stick them where the sun dont shine). (-:
You need to get out more, to me computers are a tool and nothing more-after 30 years as a hardware tech, I have seen lots of cool tech come and go, and I simply choose the most cost effective tool to do the job reliably.
Nearly every post I have made in the past that does not follow the Apple fanboy line gets modded down, but its not OK to say so apparently.

Rightho, I will just nip around and book into the 4 year lazer surgery course.
Then YOU can be my first patient I operate on, after all thats all the training I need right?
Would you bet your sight on your claim?

Funny you should propose that, it was proposed in the brilliant Yes Prime Minister series.

"Something else you seem to ignore is large wings, while providing for lots of lift, directly translate into higher drag"
WTF?
The higher the aspect rario of a wing the lower its drag.
As English designer and glide manufacurer Fred Slingsby famously put it, "There is no substitute
for span".(In terms of increasing a wings efficiency)
The smaller the chord of a wing the lower its reynolds number, hence less efficient.
Try googling Aspect ratio effects and reynolds numbers.
Can I buy a vowel?

Dont you go bringing your rational well thought out posts to this thread mate.
It's an iphone thread on Slashdot, that sort of thing is just not done here.

Hell the bags might end up at the right place for once.....
