Uh... fucking what?
I doubt that Boston has done any maintenance on a brand new Japan Airlines aircraft, and even if it had, that's not an excuse for a battery fire.
I think about the only thing we can safely say is that you're an idiot.
That's funny, all comments I've seen about A380 long haul flights say it's more pleasant than any other airliner (usually because of the lack of noise). I certainly think so, although I do have a beef with how far away you are from the outside window and the consequently small view.
I hope you're smart enough to realise that carpet has nothing to do with the aircraft design, right?
I'd say that's a pretty bad guess. APUs can be used to generate bleed air for air con during takeoff, rather than taking it from the engines, and they are frequently left on at the gate (which is when this happened).
I love waiting around to transfer hundreds of GB large FEA results files or partition images etc. What kind of non super collider owning freak would need more speed?
P.S. A single consumer Hitachi 7K1000D 1TB will read sequentially at 180 MB/s near the start of the drive, and most 7200 RPM drives will do 140. My two examples are sequential BTW.
P.P.S. it's not the year 2000 any more, get with the times.
How big are 4k high frame rate 3D movie files are going to be? And why would you want to wait longer than you have to? I already hit sequential speeds of 800 MB/s (~8 Gb/s) two years ago with a RAID 0 array of cheap 60 GB SSDs (for fun, not actual usage). Speeds of multiple GB/s are going to be a reality and the average user will find a way to use it. How about off site backups of TB magnitude data? Sure, if you're serious you will use a proper drive interface rather than the hypothetical USB 4, but at some point it will be something that the common person will do, and I can see there being a USB 4 or equivalent to make it easy.
There may be other reasons that USB 3 will be the last USB standard (like your one protocol idea), but the original poster's opinion that "nothing will ever need to transfer that much data per second" is a load of bullshit.
Try orux maps. Much more advanced than Google maps and allows you to download OSM data for any size region at any detail level. The most detailed levels take up enormous amounts of space, but you rarely need that much detail over a large area.
There are low pass filters and there are low pass filters. A first order filter would at best filter the 2nd harmonic by 6 dB.
If your output frequency is relatively constant, the proper way to do it is to use a highly resonant band pass filter.
And yet other gun owners in this discussion are claiming this is a good thing, because now the criminals know to avoid them. The spite and fear is because too many people buy guns because of some glorious fantasy.
Put the bloody things in gun safes, like you do in Australia! It's not totally secure, but carrying a safe out is an obstacle, and it's also pretty good at reducing stupid accidental shootings from people (including kids) screwing around with loose guns. Yes, it's bad for defending your home, but for some reason that just doesn't seem to be much of an issue in much of the world.
Loudness is unrelated to the amplitude of the carrier signal that's being frequency shifted. Hence the FM rather than AM. Besides, since when do radio stations have competing signals on the same frequency (do you know what capture effect is)?
I agree that knowing *how to use* computers is very important to daily life, but disagree that that is any more important than basic physics and "how stuff works" knowledge of everyday items.
You rarely *need* to know how things work, but it's nice to not have the wool pulled over your eyes and be able to make useful logical deductions. I like knowing how computers work, but I wouldn't elevate them over fields.
Is it possible that you don't realise how many marvelous things you have no idea about and don't care about (it would be ironic given the topic:D)?
A lot of my friends are CS or SE graduates and don't have the faintest clue about things I think are common knowledge and important (I'm a mechanically inclined aeronautical engineer).
Yep, thanks. I found that article after I wrote that post. So it's an antenna effective area effect. Didn't know that.:o
I also found that in urban environments, the effect of distance is much stronger than inverse square, making the antenna area a smaller component of range limits.
Just quickly though, it seems that tastesicle's 30 inches for 60 GHz is incorrect. With 4 times the power of 5.4 GHz 802.11 and 60 GHz, I get 12 feet not 30 inches.
I have never heard of this frequency vs range thingamajig. Unless you're referring to losses through solid objects.
Satellite TV would not exist if this were true. 240 W, 12 GHz, 36,000 km distance and only ~30 dB receive antennas.
Please provide a reference to this "101" level effect.
Interesting. Perhaps it's more affordable in Australia (that's a first!), because the people I know of aren't rich, just a little obsessive;)
I've been to factory equipment auctions and browsed online and you can get some really cheap used 3 phase machinery; as soon as something 1 phase shows up the price rockets. Businesses seem uninterested in the old equipment, but guys tinkering in their sheds love them.
AFAIK 20 A at 240 V is the most you can get from single phase in Aus, with 10 A at 240 V being a standard power point, so 3 phase is not so uncommon (even small food shops have it). Remember that it's not just a matter of high power, but dumb motors run nicer off 3 phase.
Oh bullshit. I know of numerous hobbyists who get 3 phase installed on their properties so that they can use used machinery like welders, lathes and mills. They don't even need to be particularly powerful devices, unless 2 kW is your definition of large, because industrial equipment tends to use 3 phase by default.
Unless all you're saying is that no residence comes with 3 phase by default, in which case I agree.
I don't suppose you've ever worn a heart rate monitor during a weight lifting session. Recovering from anaerobic effort is an aerobic process (for some reason this escapes most people), and believe me, when you're lifting heavy you pant and beat hard afterwards. The times I've worn my HRM, my average HR was around 135 140 (about the same as fast walking?), peaking at 183 after deadlifts. And don't think that my rates are high because I'm unfit; when I do 10 mile time trials on my bike my average HR is ~170 over 26 minutes (37 km/h average speed).
I'm not saying it's equivalent to any other cardio, but to say that lifting does not exercise the CV system is a load of BS. Admittedly, the effect would be reduced if you trained with 1 or 2 rep sets and very long breaks in between.
Splitting your wings into several elements and using coefficient lookup tables and a rough flow field to calculate forces on those pieces and summing the result is hardly "aerodynamic simulation".
There is a whole lot of bullshit being said about the realism of X-plane's flight model. X-plane just takes the flight model one step closer to the fundamentals. Funny how the big $$$ simulators don't bother doing it that way...
The old "I haven't seen it, so it's false". Nice.
I subscribed to all, and wondered why I see so few active people on FB. Surely they aren't all just lurking? Nope, going to their wall shows they have said many things I have not seen (I look multiple times per day).
But hey, I must be imagining it because you haven't seen it.

LOL, will you ever learn? I remember thinking I'd be happy if my internet were as fast as a floppy disk...

Irrational attraction to lethality (e.g. all this "tactical" bullshit) should also be considered a mental illness.

There are multiple effects. I'm aware of lower frequencies passing through obstructions easier, but that's not the f^2 effect the poster mentioned.
