Yes compared to Airplain, Boats of this era, and even cars, The shuttle is dangerous. ..
Actually, since saftey is measured in passenger miles, the shuttle is doing pretty good. It's just that when it fails it always makes international news.
Seven people in a minivan going off the road only makes local because it didn't blow up real good while being televised live.
Interestingly though, the needed rate of technical development and cost in real dollars of mounting a sailing expedition in the Age of Exploration was similar to that of the shuttle program, even if St. Brendan managed to do it on the cheap. He only went across the little pond on the short route.
Take a magnet in each hand, like poles toward each other. Move them toward and away from each other. Feel the forces.
How long does it take for the magnets to "recover" from each motion?
Electric motors do not work by interlocked mechanical devices. They work entirely through the EM force field. They self "clutch." The function of a clutch is prevent interlocking mechanical devices from damage. Take an electric model car and set it to running at slow speed. Now grab a tire. The motor will stop turning. You will feel the torque generated by the EM field. Rotate the tire against the force. Now let go of the tire and it will start turning again. If the motor operates the wheel by direct drive there isn't even anything to break.
If the motor is attached to a mechanical drive by a belt slippage of the belt provides additional clutching action, but this is highly undesirable because such clutching takes time; and what you want, as you note, is instantaneous reaction of the platter to the forces in the motor.
You certainly do your best to know,for marketing reasons, but you do not know that you know. What you know best is where they were at some previous time.
And the longer a printer goes without being registered the less you know about is.
You know rather less about where your ink cartridges are.
It would be more expedient to just replace the battery when it's sent in and not worry about the legitimacy
The problem being that, since hard goods are not sold under license, they are actually property, not "intellectual property," a legitimate source is any source that has legally purchased a drill.
Which one likely goes about doing by calling up a wholesaler and saying "Give me ten of those," and they say, "Ok."
Or maybe you buy them at the bankruptcy auction of a failed hardware store and resell them through your own, or from a card table on your front lawn.
So long as it is not stolen the sale of a DeWalt drill from the back of a van is perfectly legitimate, because it is sold, not licenesed.
I can now buy Epson printers from my local supermarket and Epson has no idea that they are even there. They don't frickin' care. That's why the registration card thingy. Whoever files that card is the "original" owner. I can buy that printer from the supermarket, resell it from my card table, write out a receipt for the sale, and the receipt along with the registration card will be legitimate proof of purchase.
Hardware analogies will always fail massively when applied to "intellctual property," because "intellectual property" isn't property, and hardware is, even if it contains "intellectual property," and minumum warranty requirements are set by law.

Frank Abagnale was the Kevin Mitnick of his time, and although he was a master counterfeiter his chief skill was in "social engineering."
Brazen, fearless and with a personality to charm the socks right off of you, if he had stuck to cons he might well never have been caught (bad paper leaves a paper trail). Having once caught him keeping him caught proved to be a bit of a problem and on one occasion he simply talked his way out of prison
It isn't listed in his IMDB entry (which he has by virtue of being the author of Catch Me if You Can), but he once made an appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and so impressed me that it is one of the few Tonight Show interviews that has always stuck with me.
I haven't read the book, so it may well be the blurb that is at fault, but certain discrepencies between the book blurb at Amazon and things he said in that interview suggest to me that he's never really given up the con game and we'll never know what is the truth and what is the self generated myth about him.
I don't know that there are special names for corn beer, or millet beer, or amaranth beer. Then, of course, root beer and birch beer are really beer if you really brew them. Recipes are available on the net, as they are for barley beer, so I'm at something of a loss to explain what this story is all about.
Me, I generally just go straight for the cognac, but I'd have to move to France to make it myself.
He is talking about the wastes inherent in producing the catalytic paint in the first place, some of which may not be immediately obvious, such as additional fuels burned in exploratory ventures seeking new sources to fill the increased demand for the constituants of the catalyst.

And the world is so full of "signifigant" dates that when it does happen they will simply retrofit the event to a date and say, "See? We were right."
Such is the mind of the magical thinking nutcase.
They totally ignore the fact that to be a prediction you have to predict the future, which, I hear tell, is the hardest type of prediction of all.

How does this translate to humans? Is this basically saying that race mixing is inheritly deviant to nature or to natural evolution?
