I can state categorically that it does not produce a constant acceleration for a constant force, because over 100 years ago Einstein proved that this is not the case. That is acceleration is proportional to the mass and the force but *ALSO* the velocity. So changing the velocity which acceleration does, changes the force required to get the same acceleration. It's why you can't accelerate a mass to the speed of light.
So yes neglecting the fact that the EM drive does not have a power supply that last for ever violating the laws of thermodynamics and does not violate special relativity it is a perpetual motion machine and defies the laws of physics, or perhaps it is not.
Go read the Act of Parliament you berk. The problem is that the Act does not make the outcome of the referendum binding, it was merely advisory. Nothing is stopping the government implementing the decision, they just need to do it via legal constitutional means and not illegal means.
Wrong an EM drive *IF* it works needs absolutely no theoretical explanation for it be valid. Verified observation *ALWAYS* trumps all theories regardless of how precious you hold them or whether you have an explanation.
I would point to things like superconductivity, first observed in 1911, but BCS theory didn't come along till 1957. By your standards superconductivity was mythical despite all the observations between 1911 and 1957.
Worse still BCS theory puts an upper limit on the temperature of a superconductor of around 30K. So in 1986 when high temperature superconductor where found that break BCS theory and worse still for which there is no settled theory of their operation, by your standards it's all bogus despite widespread and repeated observations to the contrary.
Does the EM drive work? I don't know, and I remain highly sceptical. However I do note that unlike other quack science nothing is being held back as "trade secrets" and nobody has been able to do an experiment that shows it is wrong. I remain suspicious that there is a problem with the observations and want further testing. However right now the observations have been repeated and are holding up to scrutiny. Until that changes no amount of theory is worth jack.
Please stop spouting incorrect scientific method. As I said at the start repeatable observations always trump theory.
Perpetual motion machines require the indefinite production of energy that can be converted into motion. As the indefinite production of energy is impossible, the laws of thermodynamics intercede here and besides the EM drive does not produce energy then it is not a perpetual motion machine.
So you have a method of producing constant power indefinitely? Though not, so an EM drive is not a perpetual motion machine.
I would add any method of producing constant power indefinitely would lead to a perpetual motion machine EM drive or otherwise.
However even worse a constant force does not produce a constant acceleration, Einstein disproved that over a 100 years ago.
If you want to claim an EM drive is a perpetual motion machine and breaks the laws of physics please use actual physics and not made up physics when making that argument.
The issue with the Eurofighter is that it is an intercept air defence fighter designed for the cold war. As it came into service the Soviet Union collapsed and the claim was that we no longer (at least here in the UK) needed an intercept air defence fighter.
I suggest that you go live near one of the current bases for the Eurofighter in the UK for a few weeks, because they are being scrambled for intercept air defence on a regular basis, and far from being unneeded are actually essential.
Really all my nieces got diamond and gold crosses for their Christening presents. As godfather to two of them I purchased two of them. I find your insinuation that I was trying to "woo" my baby nieces highly objectionable.
I would also suggest Googling for "diamond earring footballer" clearly someone spending ten's of thousands on diamond earrings they wear themselves are doing it to woo women.
And some MP's could simply choose not to vote. which makes the maths a whole lot more complicated. Further complicating the maths is that not all constituencies are the same size (see boundary review for more details) so if each MP voted according to the referendum result in their constituency you could easily get a different result.
I fully expect my MP to vote not to give the PM the power to trigger article 50; as they are SNP that is pretty much a given. Though the previous MP was Liberal Democrat so I would have expect them to do exactly the same. Either way the will of the electors where I live was clearly to remain, so I would expect my MP to follow that.
Ignoring the referendum result is legal; ignoring the law is illegal.
Anyway the ruling is clear that the Prime Minister does not have any pejorative powers that would enable them to overturn an Act of Parliament, and will hence have to follow the law and get the approval of the Parliament to overturn the EEC Act 1972 (UK). It is a relatively narrow point of constitutional law, and I would be very very worried is the Prime Minister was legally entitled to just randomly overturn an Act of Parliament.
So the President of the USA can just do what he or she wants without recourse to either the Senate or the House? Didn't think so, and it is no different here in the U.K. The Prime Minister is not a dictator and has to follow the constitution, and that says *ONLY* Parliament can overturn an Act of Parliament and as triggering Article 50 would overturn the European Communities Act 1972 (UK) then it requires Parliament authorise this take place.
The result of the case is not the slightest surprise to anyone with even a basic understanding of the UK constitution. Heck the government have announced they would put forth a "Great Repeal Bill" to overturn the Act, this ruling just clarifies that this must come *before* triggering Article 50.
No the court has ruled that only Parliament can overturn an Act of Parliament. As triggering Article 50 would over turn the 1973 EEC Act then Parliament and *ONLY* Parliament can give the authority to trigger Article 50.
This is UK constitutional law 101 and anyone who thought otherwise is simply ignorant of the law. Blame Cameron for not making the referendum result legally binding.
Problem is we already have fewer glaciers than 100 years ago. In fact we have fewer glaciers than 50 years ago. In addition the vast majority of glaciers have substantially less ice in them than even 20 years ago. Perhaps you might like to get of your fat lazy ass and go visit some *ACTUAL* fucking glaciers you moron.
I think better than a a specific monetary cap is how it is in the UK. The cap is *ACTUAL* losses for none commercial infringement. Generally this is going to be way lower than $5000. So downloading an album won't even attract the cover price in damages. It would have to be something like wholesale price minus manufacturing costs, something close to the profit plus royalties. It's why, despite it being illegal in the UK to rip your own CD into MP3's nobody has ever been or ever will be prosecuted for it.
Think is while this is a UK ruling it is based on working time directive, and hence has potential to be applicable across the EU. Depends I guess how far Uber choose to appeal this, but EJC is still the top courtfor this assuming it gets that far before brexit kicks in.
I would imagine that 10 or 12 bit sampling is way more likely than 16 bit, which then saves you a byte for your two samples, cutting bandwidth required by 25% if you pack the bits.
The *ONLY* clock in my house that I ever have to set is the one on the oven and that is because nobody makes an oven with a LW radio clock. I would have preferred an oven with a timer that if you didn't set the time didn't show anything, but apparently nobody wants one of those. Regardless on Sunday morning I will wake up with all my clocks all showing the right time within the second without me lifting a figure and none of them are connected to the internet (well apart from the computers and tablets and phones) and it's been like that for years now.
Anyway I am sure you could use some IoT power socket things and a raspberry Pi to rig what you want up.
Right because fully waterproof to IP68 3.5mm jack sockets have not been available for years already?
Sony have been doing waterproof phones now since early 2013 at the latest with waterproof jack sockets that required no plug and/or cover. By the time they got to the Z5 they even had waterproof microUSB sockets that don't need a cover as well.
The claims about needing to do it for waterproofing is just utter rubbish that Apple fan boys lap up because they don't know any better.
It's the same with most things like this it only gets more expensive in real terms over time. So yes in the long term it is cheaper to lay the fibre now than it is in the future.
Something else to bear in mind is that the OpEx for fibre is a lot lower than the OpEx for copper based solutions. Basically there are no power hungry electronics in the middle to go wrong with fibre hence it is cheaper to run by a *LOT*.
Usually old gas pipe was steel/iron. What they do is push some plastic pipe down the existing pipe, then blow hot air under pressure into it. This causes it to soften and expand so that it takes the form of the existing steel/iron pipe. The existing pipe can now safely rust away. At least this is what they do in the UK.
Clearly you missed the bit about getting it *BEFORE* he was due his vaccination. However that aside the measles vaccination is not 100% effective, so even if you have had it you can still get measles. Its bloody rare but I personally had the misfortune to catch it as a young adult (literally a couple of days before my degree finals started) and I can assure you it is fucking unpleasant, and for me personally disastrous for my career prospects going forward.
Why on gods earth to people still buy printers that need to be plugged in to a computer? Of all the peripherals that you can get for computers the printer is absolutely the one that should be networked. The idea of plugging a printer into a laptop is so retarded it beggars belief. Any such printer is a heap of junk that needs consigning to the trash at the first available opportunity.
I would note that wireless printers are the next stupidest thing imaginable, wire it up to your router for god sake or wireless access point or whatever.
That is the most informative post I have ever seen anywhere about the classified emails. Assuming what is posted here is true, then one can see why the FBI didn't bring chargers because there is not a chance in hell of making them stick in a court of law.
On the other hand Mr. Blumenthal or whoever sent him the classified documents needs routing out and banging in jail for a long time. The problem is the rabid hatred of Hillary has clouded this which is the real crime.
Given exactly the same problem exists in the UK, do you mind explaining how Ronald Reagan achieved that? On the other hand it might just be down to what the baby boomers did both sides of the Atlantic.
Doing that on your workstation is frankly as dumb as hell. A compute cluster stuck in a data centre somewhere is a million times more sensible. Oh and before you claim it won't work for you my day job is running a HPC system with thousands of cores and we have users doing exactly what you are doing so try again.
