And in the meantime wouldn't some anti piracy measures be a good idea. Or should we just stick our heads in the sand till it's over. It's going to take a while, we're still busy sorting out the political situation in Iraq.
Power steering you use all the time as your car is not riding on rails. Holding the wheel straight when you hit an imperfection in the road is power steering.
Ever drive a vehicle with no power steering? above 5mph or so you don't know there is none the movement of the wheels on the road becomes your power steering so you effectively don't use it above 5mph
If the AC is clutched out, then it isn't really a drag on the engine in the first place. Smog pump is a different story.
Ever turn an A/C compressor even when its clutched out? It's a lot harder than it seems like it should be, sure it's easier than when its actually doing work but its still wasted energy.
It's interesting that race cars don't have airbags and are built with rigid frames and usually the driver survives an accident at well over highway speeds. What do they know that we don't?
If they collide with a fixed object their own inertia is far lower than the huge SUV of today, and if they collide with another vehicle its another vehicle that weighs about the same. If one of those race cars collides with an SUV of today, the driver is dead hands down. I know someone who has survived several bad wrecks in a race car including flipping upside down entirely. But you know what he drives on the road? a huge honking suv because he knows the other vehicles will kill him if he tries to drive a light rigid frame vehicle.
Power steering you only use when actually steering (IE on the highway going straight its not in use)
Power brakes use vacuum on gasoline powered vehicles so it is n/a here
A/C clutches out 60% of the time unless its a super hot day so its not in use all of the time.
The flywheel mass needed to make this work in anything bigger than a moped engine would be somewhere between impractical and impossible. Ever try to turn over a car engine with your bare hands?
Yeah on my 10.5:1 compression v8 I did it easy with one hand and no wrench. Oh... I only weighed 140lbs at the time (5'10" tall.)
It's not extremely difficult to turn an engine over by hand unless its a BIG diesel. Now with accessories attached (power steering, a/c and the like) its another story. But it is possible to clutch those out.
At that point all it takes is a squirt of the injectors and a spark to turn things back over. From complete stop to start almost instantaneously.
The awaiting fuel charge position is known as the intake stroke, you need a power stroke to run, how is having the pistons on the intake stroke beneficial at all? and you can't inject and get compression at tdc before the power stroke. You'd have to stop with the intake charge in already in the cylinder and compressed. Workable for brief stops but the cylinders will bleed down relatively quickly.
how would you make change for a 75 cent item when someone pays with a dollar? If you're going to ditch nickels you have to ditch quarters too, 50 cent pieces would be the smallest you desire.
Speaking as someone who hasn't been sick since 2006 and I NEVER get a stupid flu shot, you may be on to something there. Part of it is to not bother with medications and having a superior immune system untouched by anti-bacterial products. That and a complete belief that I cannot get sick anymore. That's all it takes. A strong will and immune system that gets exposed to all sorts of real-world bacteria and flu bugs is all you need. Stop getting sick, you weak fucktards!
Methinks someone doesn't understand vaccines. I got sick for the first time in years this year but I always get the flu shot if the opportunity presents itself. I don't go out of the way to get it but if I happen to be in my doctors office and he offers it I take it. It's part of exposing your immune system, ever notice how some people actually get sick when they get vaccinated? It's because their immune system is working hard fighting the vaccine.
Just so we aren't continuing to spread rumors and people aren't going "well I heard on the internet that..."
What you are saying isn't entirely truly the law does not say anything at all about a styrofoam cup nor does it say anything about tape
http://www.legis.state.la.us/lss/lss.asp?doc=410591
what it actually says is this
(b) "Open alcoholic beverage container" shall not mean any bottle, can, or other receptacle that contains a frozen alcoholic beverage unless the lid is removed, a straw protrudes therefrom, or the contents of the receptacle have been partially removed.
Can't I just take any Android GSM phone and put in a SIM for any GSM network, so long as the SIM's accounts are active (and both the phone and the network use the same frequency, as they all do in the US)?
Sure but you need your phone to be unlocked... which most aren't. You also need to be using the right frequency for gsm (which in the us they don't) now you can make voice calls... oh you want 3g, hope your phone has the right 3g frequency (protip: this phone will work on t-mobile but and at&t but will only get 3g on t-mobile)
Sure, those parts are pushed for small cars because of perceived need for larger number next to HP, but they aren't actually needed. A VW SDI car ends up snappy enough (actually better from TDI at low engine speeds), typically with higher mpg; and reliability is a nice bonus.
He's mixing up stuff. No one has specified 4 stroke or 2 stroke diesel. A 2 stroke diesel is incredibly efficient (far more efficient than the Otto cycle iirc and even miller cycle) but does in fact require a turbocharger or supercharger. your BIG engines (ships, trains and the like) are usually 2 stroke diesels.
Yes thats about right a diesel engine is really fuel efficient which is why trucks use it.
I'm not sure that "efficient" is the correct term for a diesel cycle engine. The diesel cycle itself is less efficient. The thing is a gallon of diesel fuel contains 30% more energy than a gallon of petrol.
I think it is by definition that consumers don't produce much content. Making production of content easier with cheaper hardware is a good thing as it reduces the amount of consumers and increases the amount of producers. True most of it will be crap but it does lower the bar and allow people who otherwise might not be able to spread their ideas to spread them.
Don't be so sure. IIRC, verizon is using the sim-less variant of LTE. So if the MEID isn't in the database the phone isn't getting on the network without committing a felony! The mere existence of a CDMA iphone doesn't mean that it will be easy to get on Verizon.
And, while we're at it, can we do something about businesses that insist on using little kids in their ads, apparently in the belief that cute kids drive up sales? There's a local furniture store here that uses the owner's kids in every single ad. Those kids should sue the guy for child exploitation.
Please don't tell me you live in Louisiana. My little brother did a commercial when he was 2 or 3. He loved it. He's long since forgotten it but the filming part was fun for him as well as seeing himself on the television. So suggesting those kids sue for child exploitation would be kind of silly. That is exactly the sort of thing children love, It's also a new experience they learn from.
You seem misinformed. You do need to complete a background check in order to purchase a gun. Afaik a Canadian citizen (criminal or not) can not just hop across the border and purchase a weapon. Most likely the criminals get them in the US the same way they do in Canadia, Buy or steal them from someone capable of purchasing it legally.
Not really. You're post is asinine, but you'd never admit it.
And yet you missed the entire point of the post. The point was that the market restriction was more artificial than anything else. By the way, the biggest thing the sim card or equivalent is used for isn't used as a device identifier. It's used as a carrier identifier. Without it google has no idea who to cut a check for your purchases that you make on that device.

depends, if the weak point is them fetching a large image off your site it'll let you serve up a smaller response alleviating the load on your link.
well if every single judge up the chain believes it, chances are the jury is going to believe it too. Judges are usually smarter than jurors
Wouldn't you want the jury to be able to do some research on their own to discover that recovered memories are a load of shit?
I'd rather be able to appeal it on the basis that the judge was clearly biased.

Things with automotive electronics only started to get "good" around 94 when GM first kicked out the 3800 series that was fully electronic controlled
94? The 3800 has had efi and coil packs for full electronic control since 88.

If guns weren't so trivial to buy in the U.S.A

Roaming to and from the femtocell works exactly the same as to normal cell towers.
Roaming from the femtocell works exactly the same. You can't roam to a femtocell in the middle of a call, at least with the at&t 3g microcell you cant
