eh, everyone knows area51 exists its wheater they have aliens in their that's speculated. Your document only shows that they aren't required to follow local waste disposal law. Ptobably there is a local law that says government agencies must send all paper to be recycled instead of throwing them away. And obviously in a place like that you don't send any document out. you burn them.
I haven't seen a lot of pollock in my life but looking at the one you linked is quite the experience. I'm no art expert, but it does have a kind of 3Dness to it. Its clearly not just randomness. Theres a feeling that emerges I can't quite put my finger on it. Its makes me think of the way a 3D engine would render an explosion. You almost feel like you can focus on different depths in the image. You almost feel like you could walk into it and the chaos would surround you.
The other one ive seen was interesting too. (when I read the article about the fractal dimention there was a picture on one) And thought it looked totaly like a forest, and totaly unlike a forest at the same time. Its cool stuff, I should find a book with more pics.
I think they could even guess what year a painting was painted just with the fractal depth. It turns out the fractal depth of his paintings gradually increased over the years.
Yes but you had to send it back for them to accept. If you change the EULA of a game you have to get the companie to accept it before you play the game. And also I think you took a risk by not having the contract re-typed. If you would go in court with this contract how can you prove that the crossing out was made before the contract was signed by both parties? You can't legaly modify it once it is signed!
Well thats just equivalent to being on a smaller gear all of the time. The car isn't really quicker it all depends on when you shift. Changing the differential might make you shift more often and you'll lose speed while shifting. Max HP doesnt change but instantanous HP does with the new differential. It's just about how fast you can get to your max HP. At low speed, horsepower will be higher with the higher differential ratio because your engine's RPM is closer to its max horsepower zone.
The VW that as more torque at low RPM and ALSO has more HP at low rpm. It just doesn't keep up with the mazda at high RPM.
The HP (vs RPM) curves are gonna look a little like this:
___---_ mazda
/ \
___----__ VW
/ / \
/ /// /
^ ^
| |
VW max |
Mazda max (reached later but that can be fixed with transmission) you see that in the beginning the VW as more HP it reaches its max HP at lower RPM but then theres no more. The Mazda has still some more to give. You can change how fast your engine gets to its optimum RPM with gear ratio but it will never change the maximum of the curve.
It is quite useless to look at the instantanous horsepower and torque. There is nothing to debate there since they are proportional at a fix speed. So you can interchange either when talking about performance. And personnaly I think horsepower is a more usefull concept since it is the same in every moving part, doesn't depend on the transmission and translate directly to acceleration. (trough the concept of conversation of energy, whereas you could say that torque is more through newtons law F=ma)
Sure and why not consider using the environment friendly biodiesel in it? its becomming more and more available. If ever petroleum prices rise too high you are sheltered by this alternative. If I buy a car its going to be diesel just because of that. Never know, the peak oil theory might be true!
"Horsepower + gearing determines torque" Thats just plan false. You have to factor in RPM somewhere in there.
"Maximizing horsepower maximizes torque at the wheels." Yes that pretty much summarizes what I was saying.
The reason HP is a better measure is that it's constant everywhere and results in high acceleration. Torque changes in the different moving parts of the car. Ultimately torque at the wheels does make acceleration, but its different from than engine torque. (or torque in the different parts of the transmission) And the ratio varies when you shift gear. It's the torque at the wheels that's important for acceleration and as you said HP maximises torque at the wheels. If you want high acceleration you can pretty much forget about torque and try to maximize your HP. The torque you need will be there if you have HP.
Really the only thing that counts for acceleration is HP. But you cannot get HP without torque since HP equals torque*engine speed(rpm).
The fact that the VW has high torque at low RPM just means that it gets to its MAX HP faster during acceleration. It doesn't need to rev-up to get its power. The Mazda does need to rev up but once the Mazda gets to its max HP it does have more HP so it wins. You could get to the mazda's max HP zone fast by reving the engine and popping the clutch and using low gears. Thats what the transmission is there for really. It's there to let you stay in your max HP zone for a longer period of time. I guess you could say skillfull shifting at takeoff in order to get to high RPM fast (and stay there) would be more important with the Mazda.
Yeah one interesting question is how did they get the first perfectly rectagular, cylindrical or regular shaped object. It is not trivial to get it without a mold. It must somewhat involve melting and hardening something to get a strait surface then building on that surface. Grinding, turning etc...
I concur. I always tough the americans couldn't possibly be like their president. I put all the blame on their crazy maniac drug addict Dubya that didn't make any sense. But now I think your are just generally stupid idiots.
Enjoy your four more years of violence death war and terrorism.
I must say I am just plain startled that W Bush has even a chance in this election. 80% of the rest of the world support Kerry to Bush. Why is that so? Are Americans not getting the same news that we do? Bush is not a conservative he is a raving maniac who will not use reason to make judgment. EVERYONE else sees it. _EVERY COUNTRY_! Bush's senior was a million times better president than W. and even he didn't get re-elected. I don't know if people have given W trust by association to his father but he should have lost it a long time ago. Countless experts like Dick Clark warned everyone of the current administration's incompetence at handling terrorism. Have you guys looked at Bush's Biography compared to Kerry's? Bush used to be a alcohol (and possibly cocaine) addict. While Kerry was educating himself and fighting for his country. I can't believe that Bush's arguments are taking seriously. It is very much obvious to everyone that the current US administration is using fear of terror to control everyone. Why has no one noticed that it isn't even going after terror but rather after Iraq. (I shouldn't have to mention that it is unrelated). Bush's very simplistic rhetoric is one of looking at terror like a sports game where the two competing teams are terrorists and the US. He seems to be looking at winning a game or something. Anyone with a bit of logic should see that terrorist don't have a country, they don't have a place we can invade, they don't have a central organisation we can beat. They just consist of a bunch of gangs dispersed around the world and new generations will always exist. If your country acts as a jerk or bully to the rest of the world you make a particular attracting target for terrorists. Right now even reasonable people don't like the US very much. It is easy to see how the sick mind of terrorists can _easily_ turn that sentiment into recruitment tactics and brainwashing material. The US economy has plummeted since W has been in power. W is the only president in 60 years that hasn't created any new jobs. The US Dept is increasing at a rate of 1.7 billions a day, (And there was a surplus with Clinton) and your dollar is getting weaker by the months. Domestic politics have been forgotten and replaced by disastrous world bullying.
I am equally astounded toward the use of electronic voting machines. Maybe it is just because of my background in electrical engineer and computer science but to me basic common sense will tell you that they are obviously stupid without a printout. I usually mock people who have conspiracy theories, but here I am inclined to suspect some kind of conspiracy. What else could explain this lack of common sense???

Well said. Bush is destroying the US economy and while it gives me a kind of confort thinking that without its strong economy at least the US will be less in a position to bully the rest or the world, it also worries me that it will be less in a position to stimulate the world's economy (Especially Canada). While the economy falls down the Bush cliff the US is becoming of less significance in both the bad and good things that it does. As a Canadian I profit mostly from the good things so that if the US economy goes down it is probably bad for me.
At least I take comfort thinking that Canada's economy hasn't been affected much by the downfall of the US yet. The Canadian dollar is strong and getting stronger compared with the US dollar. Our government has had a surplus every year lately. I can afford much more trough amazon.com right now than I could 2 years ago just because of the exchange rate.
Philosophically speaking, I guess the world always needs a country to give a bad example so that it is reminded of what not to do. America seems to be that example right now. A falling country with a 7.5 trillion dollar debt increasing at the rate of more than 1.5 billion per day, with falling currency and a GDP not meeting expectation the USA is bound to crash soon. I think that is sad, the US had the potential to be the best asset tot he world.

Obviously that's how they could determine that their model had good prediction. If they didn't have the dates they could not have tested their theory.
ah well its even better! they have made a program that can identify the past mood of the painters!
I think they could even guess what year a painting was painted just with the fractal depth. It turns out the fractal depth of his paintings gradually increased over the years.
oh and IANAL and I know its a little more complicated than that. consideration, acceptance, verbal contracts etc....

ha ha thats like using liquid paper on a contract
the diagram made sense in the comment textbox

I guess that everybody just follows the government example. If the president can do it than it must be ok.
