Easy answer- always agree to whatever she says UNLESS it starts with "Does blah blah..". The "Does" sentence is always a bad thing to agree with, so automatically say no!
Ok, so I didn't express myself properly to those who are experts in aerodynamics (of which I am not an expert). From what I have read, it is hard to design a flying wing that is stable. I know that experimental and military craft have used the design successfully, but I was under the impression that a large passenger craft still had a few design considerations to be addressed.
Who knows why I got modded up? Maybe because I gave a sliver of information to the group of people on/. that have even less knowledge about aircraft than I do? You too could get modded up by explaining how flying wings work to the group rather than just attack me; I was just putting out my small bit of knowledge.
Shall I wait till you put up some comment about some subject that I am an expert in so I can rip how you have no knowledge of x? Are you the guy at work who wonders around complaining how everyone else is so clueless and wrong, yet never does anything himself?
Ooops, sorry about that. I'm not a security guy, so the idea I got was that this was a testing procedure that guaranteed a certain level of protection. I guess working as a defense contractor I get more access than to some stuff than industry folks.
I just hope that they have worked out the stability problems. The "all-wing" design has been notorious for being unstable except with computer help and "fly by wire" controls. If they have trumped these problems, go ahead; besides, I have no need to see outside the craft (one of the downsides mentioned. The passengers would be seated in wide rows only a few deep- think of the current tube and turn it 90 degrees, so only a few people would have window seats). But they are considering placing LCDs in front of all the seats with the option of seeing outside the plane. Now if they gave me ultra zoom over the midwest so I could see that farmer's daughter......

They make a PCMCIA card that is due to be tested for NSA Type 1 encryption soon. I saw it in action during source selection review, and it works pretty sweet.
I believe this will meet any encryption standards they could throw at you; it's good enough for the NSA!
Business connections have no such beasts as "unlimited" or "unmetered" connections unless you are leasing a full T1, T3, OC1, OC3, etc. line. If you don't have a full line, you will most likely have a CIR/BIR line (certified rate/ burstable rate), in which case you are still not really metered, but rather your traffic will get dropped if exceeding your rates.
BW limiting is pretty much reserved for the smaller businesses and the home users. Unfortunately, the home users can't afford the same quality of lawyers that businesses can.
Sadly, it has taken me this far down in the comments to find a self-proclaimed aethist who didn't call my religious belief a belief in the supernatural, a creation myth, or just plain stupidity.
I have no problem with aetheists, and I certainly speak very little about religion except with my wife and my newly ordained friend. It was annoying reading all those put downs.
Even if you do think I'm silly for my beliefs, I just wanted to thank you for not mocking. I was starting to think that aetheists in general are jerks (I only know 1 in real life- my best friend. irony) until I came across your post. Thankfully, I was wrong.

For example- ...it took us two years ('96 and '97)to get all to crap out one of our developers put in in a state of demetia...
Kinda scary when: 1) Your company is "crapping" out people; 2) it took 2 years to crap out said people; 3) one developer crapped = screwed?; 4) A basic grasp of English grammar is way beyond your abilities.
Maybe you should stop claiming how great you are since you have no real job (SW dev and public policy- I've done that starting with my 1st freeware program I gave to my township.)
When you move out of your parent's house you will find out that you actually have to really talk to industry people; oopps, I'm sorry, you are so important that CIOs will just flock to you and automatically accept your survey results.
Making sweeping claims about anything you have not investigated is not the best way to fame, either:
Examples- "Basically, take an informal study..."; kind of like this?
"contact some industry leaders (send email to some CIOs...."; like you have some CIOs' private emails.
"do intense follow up"; reiterating info that other people have already done is not considered "intense" nor "follow up"; it's considered plagarism.
I always need a couple of sub-contractors to do my dirty work, if you ever need a job counting cables let me know (I wouldn't trust you to do anything more than that after your post).
But c (speed of light) is a _universal_ constant, no matter how you may want to twist it (not you in particular, but the original parent).
You, as the original poster are confusing 2/3 c with 2/3 c _acceleration_. As you say, the car is accelerating in regards to the truck, but then you have to submit your frame of reference to an outside observer (to get an independent observer frame of reference).
Like I said- Assume c=100 mph. c actually equals 8^12th or something (yes I know this is wrong but I'm just trying to show that it is a really big number).
You just proved my point. The original parent said 2/3 c, but you said "accelarate". c is a constant speed, accelarate is an increase of speed at a constant rate.
You totally missed my example. I said both the truck and the car can go at 67Mph, NOT, repeat NOT, that they can ACCELERATE at 67 Mph.
Please go re-read my previous post and make sure you note the difference between speed and acceleration.
If you still believe that the original parent can somehow break the c limit, then please email me at bryan1945@yahoo.com so I can explain this to you.
This kind of depends from what I've noticed. AM and FM seem to be off by a few minutes. FM stations always seem to hit commercials at the same time, but AM seems to vary a bit.
This could be wrong now since I've stopped listening to FM stations because (IMHO) current music is utter shit. Plus it's really nice to know more news, current events, and sports info than the rest of the office.
This is pretty easy- the speed of light is an absolute. In your scenario, you are assuming that the 2nd rocket is at rest in regards to an outside observer, just like it is at rest in regards to the 1st rocket. This is incorrect. When your 2nd rocket starts up, it will go nowhere in relation to the 1st rocket.
This is because both rockets can go 2/3 the speed of light, which is an absolute speed as observed by an outside observer. It's like saying you have a truck that is going 2/3's of 100mph, and you have a car inside that can also go 2/3's of 100mph. What happens when the car is released? The car is going 2/3's of 100mph, the same as the truck.
Now if you say your first ship is going 2/3 c, and your 2nd ship then _accelerates_ away from the 1st ship, then your 2nd ship is now approaching c. But relativity states that as an object approaches c, its mass increases asymptopically to infinity. I forget the equation, but it's fairly common in any physics book.
Hope that helps.

I'm guessing that a whole lot of fanboys wanted to see this and a whole lot of teenagers wanted to see Kirsten Dunst (sp?) in that rain scene.
Besides that, I'm fucking baffeled why anyone would see this (though on a side point, I'm am greatly happy that Raimi made mucho bucks; maybe Evil Dead 4?!!?!??!?!?) I've gone to AOTC 3 times already I like it so much.

Don't complain because you are such a recluse that you have no touch with what the other 99.9% of society knows. It's not like Spiderman is some kind of secret society.
I would guess you are 8 years old or a total social failure. This is just a guess based on the fact that anyone I have ever met at least knew that Spiderman has something to do with a spider (if you didn't catch that, you really should not reproduce).
Ah, no. I am a person, and I would rather see more standards compliance in everything. Oh course, I'm one of those irrational engineer types who like things to work together correctly rather than work to some stupid company's vision of who it should be.
Develop SimSchool and let the kiddies play that in the comp lab. Maybe one or two of them will catch the irony and go out into the real world and do something real, like go out on a real date instead of SimDate. (Wait, geeky high school kids, dating.... input does not compute!)
Yup, I agree. My main password is an 11 alphanumeric pseudo-random combo (pseudo because I made it up in my head, so who knows how random it really is, but it looks damn random). 36^11 is roughly 10^18, so good luck brute forcing that in your lifetime.
At work we have to change one of our passwords every 6 months, and we can not re-use them. So I have had to come up with 9 passwords (oh, and they can only have 6-8 characters. Thanks for flexibility) that I can remember yet are fairly secure. I've been reduced to creating full numerics based on a stupid algorithm I made. Totally sucks.
With the increasing amount of crap we have to put up with to watch anything, and with the decreasing creativity of the media conglomerates, they will eventually push me right out the door because I won't care enough to watch. Throw in the increasing prices of cable and/or satellite, and that's one more step closer to the door.
I guess that the majority of the US public won't really care and will continue to watch "When Animals Attack Survivors in Extreme Celebrity Cop Chases Part 4" (that might actually be interesting), but I've found myself reading books and re-watching my DVDs a lot more than TV. I even (gasp!) went for a walk yesterday.
The harder these fools push their crappier fluff the more people will just give up on it. It will be a rather shallow curve, but I think it is inevitable.

Thank you, I thought that this point would be obvious, especially after the B2, which is basically a flying wing.

...or something like that.
I kind of doubt that all of those arrested were running full bore 24/7. I also doubt that any of them were connected with greater than Ether speed.
Bad assumptions do not make a great argument. Of course, I'm making wild assumptions, too, so feel free to ignore everything I've just said!
Thanks, I can never remember those! Might as well call them "way to friggin' big for now!" (at least for the next 4 years.)
