An inductor in series with the EEStor capacitor will prevent sparking. Inductors resist dI/dt - but also store energy, and as dI/dt -> 0 their R approaches that simply of the wire the current is running through (ie additional R due to L -> 0).
for it to be considered a capacitor it has to follow the general laws of a capacitor i would assume, especially since capacitence is being given in both Farad and total Joules capable of storing (F * max E before the E-resistivity of the medium between charge plates begins to fail)
it is a capacitor... so it can charge rapidly.. so rapidly in fact that they would probably put a high L inductor "ahead" of it in the charging mechanism to prevent current going from 0 to a-buttload-of-amps on contact and causing dangerous side effects.
the limiting factor on charge rate would be how fast the charging station can deliver current to the charging mechanism - once current is stable an inductor doesn't inhibit it, it just inhibits dI/dt.
JVM initialization is slow because the JVM weights 9 million metric tons.
and initialization of the VM of any language is an important factor in it's effective performance - no matter if it's per-instruction performance once it's VM is started is almost as good as native code, it will take a long time for that to outweight the initial startup time.
that and applets are slow as shit. The National Weather Service still uses a java applet for their single-radar radar loops (uses animated gifs for larger views).. takes forever to load because the JVM is initializing, whereas the animated gif takes exactly as long as it takes to download.
Java failed in the browser.. because java is slow.
> What does that mean? Only natural born Americans have the right to criticise other natural born Americans?
no it means that if you dont live here you probably don't understand the full context of the history of the group that came up with the term and the implications carried with it because of it. don't be so touchy
Sadly you're correct - a good number of women are confused "femosupremacism" for "feminism" - include LOTS of professors in women's studies departments.
My wife has a degree in Women's Studies and she routinely calls out other so-called feminists who like to throw around these statistics without a dozen caveats.
She also points out that behavioral differences exacerbate the wage gap - men are more likely to ask for raises once in a job and are more likely to negotiate their salary before taking it.
No - what earned liberals the label the "Blame America First Crowd" was them making an honest attempt at understanding why we were attacked on Sept 11, 2001 without excluding all possibility that it might have been in response to actions we had taken in the past.
Your pointless sarcasm aside GP as a point that a certain portion of the population has lost all perspective and worships the country like a god instead of being good citizens and stewards of the country and realizing that it can and does have laws that we should strive to correct to make it an even better country. They've lost the ability to realize that something can be both good and flawed.
There are two forms of love - that of a child to a parent, and that of two adults. With a child to a parent they cannot see the flaws and when the flaws in their parent are pointed out they become irrational and lash out. In adult love they see each others flaws and accept them and work to help the other solve their flaws.
That certain part of the population I talked about before loves America like a child loves a parent. Their lashing out is the source of the label "The Blame America First Crowd" because the other group, the mature one that recognizes and tries to correct flaws, was making an honest attempt at understanding what happened to try to prevent it from happening again.
I would also advise you take a look at your reaction and evaluate it in the light of this assessment.
if probability is 1 in 10^23 and there are 10^26 trials then you should, statistically speaking, have approximately 10^3 occurances
people also seem to think the real world is stuck to doing serial "trials" when in reality it is massively parallel.
PS: random assembly can lead to self replicating molecules in a soup containing the appropriate precusors, it's been replicated i just don't have a link ATM
It doesn't help that the third parties that DO have reasonable political platforms (like the Greens, unlike the "Constitution Party" or the Libertarians) put up COMPLETE DUMBARSES as their candidates for president just because the person is well known so they can attention whore.
Put up someone who actually represents the ideas your party does, and you'll be taken more serious.
And for the LOVE OF REASON stop worrying about the presidential election if you're a third party and start worrying more about spreading your state level influence then getting house seats, then senate seats.
You can go from "nobody party" to the white house in one step.. you need to work your way there
GPUs are also very expensive to make due to their large die size.
In fact die size may be the single biggest thing that SHOULD prevent the combination of the GPU and CPU. As the mm^2 of the die grows, the cost grows even faster.
In fact the biggest differences (other than a few tweaks to correct errors) between the disaster Radeon HD2k series and the vastly superior Radeon HD3k series was a die shrink - they're all R600 series units. It went from a total bomb (HD2k series) to a very competative card - the die shrink increased yields, decreased cost per unit, decreased voltage required and heat output. The HD2900 was 420mm^2 while the HD3800 was 192mm^2.
Simply shrinking from 80nm to 55nm turned an non-profitable card into a profitable one. Their new flagship product - the HD4870 based on the R700 core is also 55nm but has 50% more transistors than the HD3800. The differences in the core architecture resulted in more than 2x the performance for only a 50% increase in transistors. Saving their butts from the disaster that was the 80nm R600 by shrinking the R600 to 55nm gave them the time to develop the R700 without being buried by their competition.
If die size is that important and can be THAT expensive I doubt die size issues will EVER allow them to combine the CPU and GPU.
So much is true, but you CANNOT blame the feds for the actions of the BD.. the BD were armed and in violation of the law (arms regulations) among other laws. The feds took appropriate action, and the BD in response choose to set fire to their own facilities.
To hold one person responsible for the actions of another is dubious at best.
The idea that the government started that fire is simply moronic - the B.D. started it themselves, and it was fairly obvious they did.
I certainly don't trust the governments official story 99% of the time, but sometimes the official story is right (this case being the BD started the fire themselves)

Use that.. 54 megawhat hours of storage
a switch can still arc - and even if it didn't it would still lead to an initial surge without an inductor
why do you think the lights in your house momentarily dim when your AC turns on

It's Godspeed.. therefore it must be Warp 10
to you and your posts parent - i did mean specifically without the aid of medical technology as that provides a stable target
medical technology provides a constantly moving, and unbelievably expensive, target
my "platform" would be very linux and windows machine i've ever run - all on x86
try this for a "Slow platform"

That is not arbitrary in the slightest - it is in fact the best possible definition of when featus becomes a separate entity with rights.
When it actually, medically, becomes capable of existing as a separate entity!

I would strongly caution against foreigners using that term as they lack a lot of context to understand what they're really saying when they use it.
but yes everyone country certainly has people who think it's worse than hammered shit fried in devils tears.

ATI has their own solution similiar to CUDA, but 3rd parties have also gotten CUDA running on ATI cards.
ever heard of the law of extremely large numbers?

um... if i understand you correctly
no

that algorithm already exists: see US House districts in iowa

my apologies if that wasn't your intent, you would be the first person making that joke incompletely without having a religious agenda behind it
you know it's hardly appropriate to use an incomplete out of context quotation of nietzsche to somehow try to promote your religion
that's two lines of a three liner written by nietzsche himself
the last line is "some are born posthuminously! - nietzsche"
