If you have an efficient power plant but it is away from any population center, do you l[o]ose in transmission what you gain in efficiency?
For automobiles, I always wonder about refining fuel and getting it the gas tank where the foul, inefficient internal combustion engine works almost directly on the wheels.
Alternatively, for a plugin car, if you had an efficient power plant out in the des[s]ert, you would lo[o]se a certain amount of energy by the time you filled up your car's batteries with 48V DC High-Test.
Are there good rules of thumb for when transmission los[s]es outweigh efficiency gains?
It makes sense (if Mexico and Canada would go along): America-bound travelers from the Atlantic would land at the Canada high speed rail terminus to embark toward the US. America-bound travelers from the Pacific would land in Mexico and travel on the Amero Highway to their destination.
A good example from physics is the Millikan oil-drop experiment, where he threw out all the data that didn't fit what he was trying to prove -- but then claimed in his paper that he'd never thrown out any data.
I'm as much an Ares I basher as anyone (and not a RS), but Ares I-X used a standard 4-segment RSRM first stage. The velocity and altitude are much different than they will be with the 5-segment RSRMV, or whatever they are calling it.
The test was designed to show that the "stick" wouldn't fall over on the launchpad and to get some aerodynamic data. It was in no way a test of the entire flight.
Ares I is really not almost done, and the many redesigns of the Orion capsule to make up for Ares I's deficiencies have delayed the programme further. I believe (I may be wrong here) that the J-2X upper stage engine and not Orion is the "long pole" development item for Ares I.
Even the number and type of engines has not been decided for Ares V, the supposed Batman to the Ares I Robin.
By contrast, all the major pieces and launch infrastructure are available to make the NLS/DIRECT idea work if the decision is made to take that route.
Cancer will be issuing a DMCA take-down notice and sue the pants off the scientists for cracking its code. This might be a useful way for people to (re)gain control their own DNA.
But the current implementation is about 10% overweight ( seemingly for the forseeable future )
moving it into A330 ballpark figures ( Similar empty weight ).
I have read that the overweight only applies to the first few airframes. Is this no longer correct?
Both planes arrive with bad timing
Even two years late seems like okay timing for a plane with better fuel economy, quieter, potentially better air quality, better radar-evading, etc.
OT, I know, but doesn't your theory require mods to be performed on all 220 floors and set off in a perfect sequence? And why start the sequence right where the planes hit? Why not start at floor 109 and continue to the bottom?
I ask, because it looks like the top of at least one of the buildings came down in a chunk that starts right where the airplane hit. Did they screw up the timing on the thermite? Why didn't that top part stay intact and reveal the unfired thermite pots to the world?

Yo, dawg! I heard you like recursion in your version control so I put a Bazaar server in your Emacs that's in Bazaar.
That has been the big thing in Mobile if you go by Wikipedia.
He was Dutch.
It would be so poetic if he stuck his finger somewhere to stop the bomb from going off.

Why don't you just write the rest of it and not just one menu.
Mod parent up!

It's called a prank. Pranks are funny. EOM

...is not exactly going to fly.
But a carbon fibre airframe with two giant turbofan engines will fly.

So, it's a clone with a skin taken from plurk?
Oh crap! I think I just figured it out!
The week before 9/11 a team of Mideast termite specialists came in to treat every floor, but really they were thermite specialists!
It was a conspiracy!

Well, the title of the article has all of 9 hours, and the title of the post you responded to is That was pretty fast...
So, to summarize:
That was pretty fast...it took all of nine hours.
Nothing to see here.
