Angle of attack can cause direct lift, but its EXTREMELY inefficient. the angled wing surface will always try to direct the motion of the craft to align with the angle of the surface. if the angle of thrust is not aligned with the angle of least resistance of the wing, you create a perpetual pitching moment.
IE: lets say thrust angle is 0deg, and wing is angled at 10deg. the engine moves the craft forward, but once the wing attains sufficient lift it cant STAND the drag of the lower surface being forced direct into the airstream. the least resistance is for the air to approach the wing at 0deg relative to its leading edge. in the original frame of ref, this puts of the wing at 0deg, and the thrust at -10deg.
stunt planes fly upsaide down because they have symetrical airfoils and the plane is balanced and flown at very precise conditions by the pilot. its also why it takes a non-trivial amount of skill to keep a stunt plane in the air.
and the books are wrong because they still say "bernoullis is the reason" and thats one of the first things they unteach you in aero engineering. bernoullis equations are useful for modeling and prediction, but his principle has precisely squat to do with actually generating the lift.
the problem was originaly poised as a test to aero engineering students to test if they truly understood the concepts at work.
the treadmill is a red herring. a car wont go anywhere because its "thrust" comes from the wheels.
however an airplane doesnt care about its wheels; its ground interface could just as easily be a set of skis or a hovercraft skirt system. the thrust comes from the action/reaction of forcing air rearward with its engines; as long as the engines work, the airplane will move forward and develope lift....it's wheels will just spin way faster compared to a static runway.
its not a conservative/liberal thing. but you just had to bring that into it. as if there arent leftist pages on fagebook just as full of it as the birther movement pages.
so many people use facebook and twitter as an echo chamber, only associating with those with similar views and beliefs, much like normal life, but to a far more extreme degree. in real life you still must interact with those of more rational, or different views. in FB/Twitter you can completely tune it out, and all you get is a constant feeback loop of BS and deception. its actively helping people to become MORE partisan, MORE extremist, LESS rational.
the difference would be cows are currently maintained as a sustainable managed food source. whales are not; whales would only be able to provide food on the scale of cows for a year or two before being going from LC to EX.
Yes and No. Good games are still good games. Being software they can be infinitely copied (the no part)...yet, some of the older stuff is still very hard to find (the yes part), and hard to get working (the only part of the hardware statement that matters).
exactly. the stock market is not a zero risk game. they took a risk by valuing it higher than many people were saying was advisible. and in the end, the market did it thing, punished a lot of them, and then recovered with some very decent gains for people who saw the bubble that was coming and were patient enough to ride it out.
QBasic 4.5 on a (at the time) spanking new Epson Equity LT-286 "laptop"...that weighed ~20 lbs, and had a smokin hot 1 or 10MHz (I dont rememebr exactly) processor and 1 whole MB of ram. i thought it was so cool i was making my own.exe's
Harriers are approaching end of life. F18s are getting old. A10s are going away. These aircraft no longer have new made parts, any replacements we use in the squadrons come from the boneyards, from aircraft set into storage specifically so they could be parts sources to keep planes flying while techs, young sailors and airmen, try to fix the defective parts themselves (the training program for the military aircraft maintenence squadrons is phenomenal, and puts any civilian tech school to shame).
Your articles are bullspit and your post is ignorant.
base 10 is not magical thing that should be applied to everything just because we use 10 numbers. that's silly and does not logically follow. there are many engineering and computational situations where the non-metric units have an inherent advantage. also: with the ubiquitiness (whatever) of calculation tools, the process of converting should never take more than a few seconds, nor be scary to anyone, even those who cant do maths.
who gets to decide what qualifies as mental illness and not simply angry rantings?
at what point does (ranting against the president, calling him a war criminal and calling for his arrest/execution along with his adminstration and everyone who voted for him) become a mental illness and not simply another typical pissed off american?
be very careful with your answer because approx 1/4 of slashdotters could face arrest based on your answer.
1920x1080 High settings 1x AA (and honestly dont even need that when running at this rez or higher) 60+ FPS in nearly all games including your precious "modern 3d games"...because honestly they dont push any harder now than they did a bit ago.
the card that does this for me? a 4 year old GTS 250
either your standards are too high, or you're deluding yourself as to the actual worth of running at 400000x rez with 20xAA and 50 bajillion gigawatts of memory. probably both, as you;ve obviously falled for the graphics = gameplay fallacy.
the word "automatic" means that it performs all 4 steps of the firing sequence on its own, with the user just pressing the trigger. IE, no other actions required, like cocking the hammer, working a lever/pump, etc etc.
the steps are: Firing, extracting, feeding, Cocking, and are performed in that order. a weapon that performs all 4 of those actions on its own with simply a trigger press is an "automatic".
Fully automatic means it will recycle and continue firing without having to release and resqueeze the trigger. Semi-automatic means it only cycles once for each trigger pull.
invalid argument as you're you're changing the situation. the statement was "the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun".
he already has a gun. that is the situation.
"well if you stop him from getting a gun"... no, that's not the situation. the situation is he already has it. and he will. because none of these laws have EVER stopped bad guys from getting guns. none of them EVER will.
the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun, and it always will be. and there are thousands of cases every year where guns save someones life, even without shots being fired. guns are used for protection without being fired more often than they are used to kill. you know nothing, your stats are BS.
and the suicide stat is also both BS and fundamentally illogical. there are a million things int he home that can be used for suicide; removing the guns wont change that. again, you are blaming the tool, not the internal mental problem that causes someone to committ suicide. the gun didnt make them do it, and if they didnt have a gun they could just take a bottle of pills, jump off the roof, or open a vien with a steak knife.
That is not Texas, as in the sovereign state government of hte state of texas. That is an industry group representing car dealers located in texas. There is a difference.

you are wrong. so very wrong.
you're an idiot.

Nice objective summary

Not a dictator, and he is right in many ways.
so many people use facebook and twitter as an echo chamber, only associating with those with similar views and beliefs, much like normal life, but to a far more extreme degree. in real life you still must interact with those of more rational, or different views. in FB/Twitter you can completely tune it out, and all you get is a constant feeback loop of BS and deception. its actively helping people to become MORE partisan, MORE extremist, LESS rational.
so really, i think he's right.
the difference would be cows are currently maintained as a sustainable managed food source. whales are not; whales would only be able to provide food on the scale of cows for a year or two before being going from LC to EX.
Yes and No.

I think he'd have bigger concerns than the pictures.
Such as the fact he was raped.
I believe that would be the bigger concern.
its our problem you situated your computer where its hard to get to the basic front panel controls?
exactly.
the stock market is not a zero risk game. they took a risk by valuing it higher than many people were saying was advisible.

no.
the average ignorant person hates the idea of the stock market.
the average intelligent person loves the idea of the stock market.
the average intelligent person hates the winkwinknudgenudge slap on the wrist punishments of the people tasked with being its watchdogs.

hes more african american than most african americans.
and liberals/democrats never, EVER vote to deregulate when paid by lobbyists to do so.
