A fluid is any substance who's only significant responce to a shear stress is time dependant. So the flow of a glacier is not a fluid flow as it would respond elastically (like a classic solid) and then viscously (time dependant), but if the shear stress is removed, the elastic portion of the deformation would 'undo'.
A lot of common processes we take for granted really need to be tightened...
That is reactionary bullshit!
I challange you to come up with one terrorist that would be stopped by this.
The tightening of this kind of process hurts nobody but the honest people of the country, the dishonest will have no trouble circumventing this kind of increased security.
Not to mention that all of the 9/11 hijackers had spotless records, and would have continued flying under our radar regardless of what additional checks you propose.
I think the reason they are going after communications equipment might be that it depreciates so fast. If the businesses are taking these huge depreciation write offs every year, the state sees missing property tax income.
Do I think it is right? no... But I think I can make some sence of their motives.
Computer networks would be taxed at that percent on either annual lease payments or depreciation.
Although I don't approve, it looks like they are trying to go after methods that businesses use to avoid other taxes. The fact that they would even think about resorting to this is evidence of how fubar our tax codes are (particularly wrt business)...
have worked 10 industry jobs (coding contracts, full summer internships, etc.)
That is certainly a deal maker... I would advise anyone in engineering school to do at least 2 internships, preferably a co-op (semester+summer) if possible...
Chambana (Champaign-Urbaba) has 40000+ college students, that is all you need for a busy social calander (and Chicago is well within range for a weekend). It might be small, but it is still a very fun town, I would love to move back there acutally...
Of coarse you can get a good education at OSU, and as many others pointed out, after your first job, it will not matter, but it does matter for the first job.
I currently work for a big technology company in the east, I have done recruiting since I got here too. When you get thousands of resumes a week during recruiting season, you have to look at things like school, and GPA, just to narrow the field. What you can do, and what you know get you a job, but your GPA and where you went to school get you in the door.
I am not saying that you can't get good jobs after OSU, but you will have more open doors if you go elsewhere. As much as I hate the fact, reputations matter (esp w/managment types), and it is wise to go someplace with a good one.
About you personally, I think the fact that you are on scholarship (it's on your resume, right?) opens a lot of doors too...
If you want bang for the buck in the midwest, look at the University of Illinois (disclaimer: I went there), or Purdue (Michigan to a lesser extent, they are really expensive). They both have very good (top 20) engineering programs, affordable out of state tuition, and low cost of living in the surrounding areas.
Don't go to Ohio State for engineering unless you want to do aero...
I find the level of acceptance for this idea on/. to be truely shocking!
What is this, do thay not have the 4th just because they sleep in a box? What's next, the bill of rights is only for land owners?!? These PEOPLE are CITIZENS, damn it!!!
Admittedly this thread is a little off topic, but the post I replied to was talking about pipelining, and piplines are VERY low pressure compaired to storage facilities. I belive that most narutal gas piplines run at under 20 psi (~25% over atmospheric pressure).
Also small leaks are not really that bad, as long as they are less than ~10% they are still better than electric transmission lines...
Why does it seem like a Nationally distributed pipeline system would be harder/more costly to create and maintain then large electrical wires to transfer energy.
I don't know why you think it would be harder... We already have one for natural gas. I think that the up front costs are probably higher, but the maintnance costs are probably lower, you rarely hear about people loosing their cooking/heating gas in a storm, but it is a common occurance for electricity... And the transmission losses are definatly lower.
I don't recall the case name, but they defended someone who made very realistic simulations of pornographic acts invovling children, however no children were filmed in pornographic situations...
Basically they said the 1st garauntees the right to doctor photos, they do not believe that people should be able to make child porn with real children, only digital ones. And I agree, their strong stance on the 1st is the primary reason I joined.
The transmission losses for pipelining operations are much smaller than electricity transmission.
And the cascade senario goes away because there is a lag built into the system, if a low pressure pipe pops a few miles away, I still have hydrogen in the pipe for a while, the further away the failure, the longer till it effects me, you could even have a small reserve tank at your local fuel cell in case of temporary distribution problems, and in areas of importance (hospital, fire, police, airport...) I am sure this would be the case...
I am not saying that hydrogen distribution is invulnurable to failures, but it is less vulnerable than wires.
I drove home not too long after the East Hartford flicker, traffic in Vernon is fubar, a lot of the lights are blinking... One of my co-workers called his home in South Windsor, and his answering maching didn't pick up...
I can assure you that when you have some kids of your own you'll understand me.
I can assure you that when I have kids, I will introduce them to the world and do my best to explain it to them, not try to hide it from them, so they discover it on their own when I am not around to help them understand.
How old are your kids? Are they old enough to use Kazaa? If not, don't let them, if so, you better start teaching them about the world around them, because it is an ugly place in many ways, and it is better for them to find out from you, than to live in ignorance of that fact, or find out on their own.
I really do understand wanting to keep you young ones protected, but you have to ween them from this protection. They will leave your protection some time, I had too many friends back in my teen years who were allowed no responsibility for themselves, and did not know how to handle it when they went to college, some of them could , but most of them had major adjustment difficulty. I, like my parents did for me, want to ensure that my kids are mature enough to be on their own, by the time they are on their own, and maturity is not learned under your constant protection, it is learned through experience (hopefully gradually).
If you still want you kids on the net (minus the stuff you don't like), and are really committed, why don't you and some like minded people (there certainly are enough of you), get together and make a white list internet, you can trade files with others on the white list, you can only go to approved, kid friendly websites... But please, don't force me and my future children to use your list.
Do you think that some of those things might be the result of external stimuli, like the national economy, and the whole Enron mess? Or are you so closed minded that you assume it all must be the governors fault? I admit things are screwed up, but they are screwed up everywhere, and I sincerely doubt that anything would be much better, if better at all, if Davis was not in office.
Kazaa shut be shut down. There is some really nasty videos there that affect the mental health of young people.
Use search keywords 'faces of death' and you see what I mean. There are some videos where someone shoots a woman in head and that kind of shit that should be banned and illegal to distribute.
I suspect you are trolling, but I will bite...
The presence of those videos, like the copyrighted material, is the responsibility of the users of Kazaa not the makers of Kazaa. Also, if you are worried about the mental health of young people, maybe you should not let young people you care about use Kazaa, if you are conserned about other peoples children, tell them not to let their children use Kazaa. The fact is that the internet (and TV if you ask the right people) are full of material that someone will find objectionable, If you don't like the material, don't seek it out, nobody is forcing you to. Perhaps we should ban angry music and the movie Bambi because they can be damaging to the mental health of young people as well...ell...
D. To be eligible for registration, a foal must be the result of a stallion's Breeding with a broodmare (which is the physical mounting of a broodmare by a stallion with intromission of the penis and ejaculation of semen into the reproductive tract).
Also, NPR had a cool story a couple of months ago about the actual process that they go through when trying to breed thoroughbreds. All I can say is that I really felt sorry for the 'teaser stallions'...
You are putting word in my mouth, I never equated the founders with the 'Islamofasicists' (I was thinking of the guy in the story). Guaranteeing the right to discuss revolution is what makes revolution possible, not just good revolutions, like the American one, but bad revolutions too, like the 'Islamofacicst' one.
You can't have it both ways... So, do you want freedom for all, or freedom for none?
I can not speak for the original poster, but I have similar beliefs and would like to offer a responce (amendment)...
Osama provided material support in addition to the motivation for specific acts of violence, not the advocasy of rebelion in general.
I also have one question for you: Where would we be today if George Washington had thought that it was wrong to incite violence against the government?
Congratulations, You have shown conclusively that there is news material from the point of view of the left, I think having info from both sides is necessary to have a balanced view, don't you?
My take on this whole issue, is that you are on the right, I am to the left. To me the news looks too far right, to you it looks too far left... I think that means it is likely in the center...
So he deserves to be locked up for advocating: Hate: Violence: Gulf War II (among many other acts) Racism: Requiring men of certain national origins, here legally, to register.
Hmm... Sounds like the prosecuting authority (US government) is guilty on 2 out of 3 counts... Do they get 8 months in prison?

Not all flow is fluid though...
