umm no? it's linearly proportional, so a 10% drop in pressure (13 PSI -> 11.5 PSI) would require a 10% drop in temperature, measured on a Kelvin scale.
i solved this issue on day one. they injected hot gas into the football right before the pressure was measured. pressure was fine with the hot gas, but once the gas reached ambient temperature the pressure was lower. Using the ideal gas law I calculated the gas would need to be 30 C (about 55 F) hotter than ambient. Completely feasible.
If I am to force myself to become interested in something that I naturally find boring, I am going to need better incentive than "but you can make friends with people you don't normally want to be friends with!"
actually I disagree with you about scaling problems. The central issue in this discussion is that the counterweight system doesn't scale well because above a certain height the cables become too heavy. The self propelled system works at any height with no scaling issues.
then a lot of CEOs would be going down to the courthouse to change their names, then going to the dance studio to learn some moves. This is how these things work.
regenerative descent is interesting. This way even though the elevator will still require big motors and may accelerate slower, the power required will be less.
the self propelled elevator starts to make sense at a certain elevator shaft height. eventually with really long shafts the weight of the cable dwarfs the weight of the passengers and becomes an off-balance load, requiring bigger motors to handle. Also see my comment below about the coolest idea ever for "spider" elevators that climb along the outside of the building.

it's fine that they are sinonims, but you can't say "comprised of". That is poor grammar. You can say "comprises" in place of "is composed of".
I'm actually a huge fan of using "comprises" or "comprising" as a synonym of composed of.
slight ftfy:
Promise contract to company.
Make contract impossible to fulfil.
Bankrupt company.
Sweep up company assets on the cheap.
Profit.
no way goog is majority shareholder. why would you think that.

the problem is, with the rubber bladder and then the leather outside, the football won't feel noticeably warmer immediately

obligatory xkcd.
On the contrary, at the current rate of increase of smog production, Earth is going to transform into a gas planet.
smog has been going down in the US for 3 decades. in china it is going up, however.
yes but even if it were in a habitable zone, it would still be drenched in xray and UV, so I'm not sure how habitable it would really be...
Also was interesting to hear that he *does* have a plot outline, he knows how it will end, who lives and dies and who comes out on top

. Bing Videos is to Google Videos as Myspace is to YouTube
OOOOOH BURRRRRRN
idk, what's the quote.
Guess what, you want Youtube, you MUST take Gmail, Calendar, Photos, Docs and all the rest as well.
whaa? i watch youtube all the time with a gmail, docs, etc.
Heck, Microsoft doesn't even have a compelling YouTube alternative!
whaa? videos.bing.com is a total pornucopia.
gotomyPC!!!!
remember the sully sullenburger thing? he landed on no engines.
yeah but we'd still have congress and the supreme court, and two out of three aint bad.
I say let's keep the dems in power. the R's messed it up big time.
by 2022 the first world will be the third world and the third world will be on top!
Or a MCC-197 surface to air missile...
yes but a 4-engine plan can land on just 2 engines. that's one less engine.
