Mach is related to air density since it is based on the speed of sound which is affected by air density.
However, I figured a mach-equivalency would have been set up to relate mach to a standard velocity rather than something that is affected by local conditions.
But you realize, of course, that ICBMs are easily detectable in the boost phase. There are satellites from many countries with hardware and software to detect them. What if you could launch something that had the same capacity and accuracy as an ICBM without the big boost phase? Maybe you have one of these that flies relatively low and really fucking fast..then it can convert into a cruise missile for the last little bit of its lifespan and blow the hell out of someone's city.
Imagine if it were stealthy and undetected. Oops, looks like there goes Pyongyang..guess America should go set up a humanitarian station...
I doubt it..a hypersonic cruise missile that costs a few million taking out a carrier that costs a lot more than that with planes that cost a few million each and trained crewmen that aren't that cheap either...
Also you have to factor in the damage that ship would have done had it been left alone..
Apple hardware is somewhat expensive and hard to replicate to begin with. They do use high quality parts. My guess is that some other people have tried to make clones using cheaper parts and they've fallen apart in their hands
A past acquaintance from school posted pictures of this horrible wreck they were in. The car was fucking annihilated from the side. It looked like a jacked up fork lift monster truck had rolled over them. I was worried about them so I texted them to see if they were alright.
Yep, their truck wasn't damaged much. The truck was a huge jacked up Ford. The bumper hit at about head level. The only reason BOTH people in the car they broadsided weren't decapitated was because they saw it coming and got under the car. Firefighters had to cut them out. The speed was 30mph and their side impact airbags went off.
Then they complained about all the undercarriage damage their truck had received and the fact that their suspension was now fucked up. While they all walked away with no injuries, and the people in the car had lengthy hospital stays.
I hope the people that got hit sued the ever-loving shit out of them for driving an unsafe vehicle.
With engineering you don't exactly have to get a master's to make decent money. Most people are fine with the $50k+ with benefits income range for a four year degree. Whereas for other sciences and degrees, you might have to get a master's to be qualified to do anything more than sweeping a floor at a lab.
I'd fucking kill for a good Beatmania game besides that stupid PS2 one that was released in America. You know, if they just updated the old mixes for the US PS2s I'd buy them all.
This is actually pretty incorrect. Most medical professionals air on the side of caution when reporting people because it is just bad business. There's a list of things that are considered indicative of abuse, and only a few of them cross over into normal every day injuries. For example, it would be rare for a kid to get multiple cigarette burns on their own, but isn't uncommon in abuse. It would also be rare for a kid to get a broken bone without other supporting injuries, like brusing, abrasions, cuts, etc.
Far more people are undergoing unreported abuse with obvious evidence than are getting falsely accused. Parents that think any injury is abuse are the kind of parent who will either be too vocal (thus labeled crazy by everyone) or not speak up at all.
I'd vote this up if I had mod points. Anyway, 'controlled risk' is the key word. All the playgrounds I've ever been on in my entire life have been controlled risk environments and decently safe. Compared to the other places children can find to play, playgrounds are a fucking safe haven.
Playgrounds aren't supposed to have no risk. No place is supposed to have no risk, because that's impossible. You cannot construct a place where people can't find a way to injure themselves. Even padded rooms can cause injury if someone wants to ram their heads into the walls at full speed. Playgrounds are supposed to have LESS risk than other choices. As a kid, I often had to choose between cool places like construction sites, abandoned buildings, and playgrounds. A lot of kids played in the others, and a lot of them got seriously injured. Making playgrounds shitty and devoid of cool things to climb on will just lead to more kids getting hurt.
It's basically shifting the blame. The city can now say, sorry folks, we can't make flat ground any safer, and we aren't responsible for your kids that went to play in an abandoned building and died when the roof collapsed. They do this by necessity, because so many people feel like they're owed something for nothing. My kid sprained his ankle, I want a hundred grand for medical bills and pain/suffering. Which won't go to the kid even if they win, it'll be used to buy things for the parents anyway.
I guess what I'm getting at is that there's a level where you can't make playgrounds any safer without just removing them. Kids need to learn that the ground is hard and to watch where the hell they're going or they'll never learn. Running full speed into a metal post when they're a kid is less damaging than doing it as an adult.

I think their tactics are to create enough chaos and hope someone will pull something interesting from those accounts. Something like, "Hello Mr. CEO, this is Corporal Blabla, give me $100,000 and I'll tell my commanding officer that we need new battle rifles with your patented sling-a-bullet technology." or "Yeah I know we raped and killed that woman but we can just rape and kill her family if she reports it. Who can stop us? We're the military!"
Considering the virus only infected the outdated type of centrifuge with the firmware that Iran was using...I think it was only benefiting Iran and Symantec's wallet.
"Because frankly I don't see how we can continue down this path without almost certain full scale class war."
We've been in class war for a while now, it just isn't obvious.
Try fighting your way up from a net worth of $0.00 and living in a homeless shelter up to the middle class. Most places won't hire you if you don't have a permanent address and reliable transportation. You'll end up getting kicked out of the shelter long before you have enough for a rent deposit, and most renters won't rent to you if you don't have a previous address or at least a good credit history. Then you come in to work smelling funny one day because you can't shower daily (no place to shower) and get fired because a customer complained. Now you've got to live on the street for a while before you can get into the homeless shelter.
Then you see every day in the paper that homeless shelters are running out of money while we're sending billions of dollars of aid to various countries, bailing out companies that knowingly risked and lost billions, billions of dollars just vanishing overnight, etc. That is class warfare.
We don't hesitate to hand out billions for free, but we aren't going to hand out billions to the people that really desperately need it right here at home.
It really saddened me that a lot of those free-healthcare-missionaries recently started setting up places here in the United States rather than in remote jungles of Cambodia because neither could afford basic health care.
Actually, I think this would be good for robots as they could adjust their parameters to counteract the bumps and stuff really quickly. Maybe a drive-by-wire system on a car where the computer does all the hard stuff and you just point the car where you want it to go.
I could really see this being used in high speed robotics applications, imagine a ground-based sentry drone with this screaming down the road.
"Are you throttling anyone or violating net neutrality?"
"Nope."
"Alright then! Well we got a report saying you were, but we trust you over some random civilians that get uppity about everything."
I wish Germany good luck in coming up with ten new coal plants by 2022. Good luck finding a place to put them because no one wants their area to be smogged down.
So, let's assume that all the American citizens suddenly got a hair up their asses about cell phone data plans and were clamoring for legislation or for prices to drop. Do you think companies will lower their prices just because it is what the citizens want?
Hell no. They're not going to kill the geese that lay golden eggs. They're going to continue to not upgrade their infrastructure so that they can look good when Congress comes a'knockin and asks why text messages cost ten cents each for less than a kilobyte of data, when you can get an actual data plan of multiple gigabytes for $10/month. Texting is actually more expensive if you don't have a plan than uploading data to the moon via satellite link.
In America, it would turn out that this somehow violates his human rights and thus the punishment would go back to the standard massive fine for his parents, who would proceed to not pay the fine or go out and rob a liquor store to pay off the fine.
That's almost sixteen hours a day, seven days a week. Working sixteen hours a day is downright unhealthy and I would be surprised if anything over about four hours a day per person of actual real work got done due to fatigue and stress.
I really don't trust the TSA in safe operation of those devices. Sometimes output levels drift from what they're set at, and if they weren't properly calibrated, they could be delivering as much as a chest X-ray worth (or more) of radiation every time someone passes through it, which would mean that the TSA workers will get very large doses pretty quickly.

Some places actually charge you a large early termination fee AND make you return your phone. And charge you if the phone isn't in perfect condition.

I'm pretty sure I was using instant messaging programs well before 2005. I remember having used them since I discovered computers in the late 80s.

Because she had done it before and had gotten away with it. Don't like it? Find another job. That's the industry for ya.
