  1. Re:High speed flutter on Floppy CDs And DVDs? · · Score: 1

    Taking "thinner" as a relative descriptor, dt, such that t2=t1 + dt and where t2 is less than t1, suggests a disk of 1/5 the typical thickness. Hence, the phrase, "You look thinner, honey." would mean, "You've lost weight."

    However, it you choose to view "thinner" as a non-relative, binary indicator of measurability (wherein the phrase, "You look thinner, honey." should be interpreted as, "You take up space, honey.") kind of adjective thingy, well, then the "5x as thick" line of logic choo-choo's along quite nicely.

    Marketers pay 3.6% for losses across AEP's system. These would be 128kV to 765kV lines.

    Cost ranges from ~$50/MW to as much as several thousand per MW(during peek load hours: summer or winter extremes).

  4. The author is right on Shortcomings Of OSS? · · Score: 1

    The author makes the observation that there are a lot of folks out there suffering from the same outlook as those who used to mock Ford.

    He never denies how rewarding it is to build something from the ground up.

    He knows that, eventually, the newbies will long for something more rewarding than what a one man show can provide.
