I have flown a glider gaining altitude with out redusing speed, which in your over simplified view is imposible.
The air you mentioned passing over his wings moves (wind) at many altitudes, sometimes up and down. The way you fly a sailplane up, is to circle in air that is rising faster than you are falling relative to the air.
BTW the best (clear) days for glider flight, are the worst for powered flight. All that rising air generates that choppy ride that all those wimps who need engines hate.
That is almost 900 million people who will be pissed off at their ISP when they suddenly can't get to portholes, because their ISPs are greedy bastards.
If the information is free and available, then anyone can read it and think about it and make a contribution. If it is not, the weekneses are known to a small subset of society who has less motivation to do something to solve the problem (think about treatments and cures), they also become more valueble to those who would do wrong, and could be kidnapped or bribed.
So what is safer, Windows, or *nix?
I think the answer is that we NEED to have this informaition published. Anything else endangers us, and inhibits the progress of knowledge.
There was a really good article in the wall street journal (read by manager types!) that the reason for the fall off is engineers are telling students not to be engineers, because we are under-appreciated and over-worked.
I doubt it will change anything, but it still makes me feel better to see it in the business media
I am going out on a limb here, but I think they have to use remote sensing because of the aerodynamics involved.
Any useful window has to have a large area projected to a plane perpendicular to the direction of travel. This would mean an extremely large window because of the wedge angle at the front of the plane. And this angle is required to be very small to keep the losses associated with the bow shock from becoming astronomical. The faster you are going (relative to the speed of sound) the smaller that angle must be to keep the shock attached and oblique.
The really interesting stuff on this craft is the engine inlets, the entire plane is designed to minimize engine inlet losses, due to shocks. Cool stuff
Pu 238 is a large molecule, fusion requires small molecues combining into larger ones. The only use for Plutonium in a fusion devise is as a "fuse" used to set of a big hot fusion reaction (H-Bomb).
Along the bomb line... we already have a lot of nuclear material stockpiled in bomb form...

-The Story The first time I made this, I was in college, and one of my roommates returned from a habitat for humanity (or something like that) job, and was quite tired. I served him a bowl, he was quite pleased, he found the soup DEBILITATING, but me and my other roomie heard DENIPPLEATING... And this is how the soup got it's name...
you should be replacing your shoes every 500 miles anyway...
I love the Air Durham, from the Bowerman series, I am breaking in my 3rd pair. It is Nike's motion control shoe, for big runners.... I did 20 miles in them last Saterday, and at 210 lbs, that is a lot to ask of a shoe... I also had losts of pain when running until I discovered the Durham
What you are saying is drastically over simplified, and largely wrong!
On average there are differences in muscle composition between whites and blacks. Blacks tend to have more muscles of the fast twitch variety, which contract very quickly, and are well suited to things like running and jumping. Whites tend to have more slow twitch muscle fibers whisk are well suited to things like weightlifting, cycling and swimming. This only accounts for a small portion of the difference.
The main difference is cultural. In America the high profile sports are basketball, baseball, and American football, the fact that these sports are so popular causes many of the gifted athletes to want to do these sports; we don't have someone allocating America's great athletes to different sports, they allocate themselves. Now in many parts of Africa, there is only one sport (unless you are one of the social elite), that sport is running (think about it, if you were extremely poor, what sport could you afford to do). Running in Africa is a way of life, school children run to and from school further than many of us drive to work. Running is the way out of poverty there, poor children dream of being world class marathoners, the same way many poor Americans dream of NBA careers.
Wish me luck, my first Marathon is on October 13th...
One very important thing that people forget, is that all power production produces waste! And no, I haven't forgotten about solar and wind and hydro power, there are byproducts produced, several of which are harmful, during the initial manufacture of these devices. And now for the methods of power production that are actually practical alternatives to nuclear (while our planet still has fossil fuels to burn). Combustion based power plants do enormous amounts of damage to the environment on a daily basis! Tons of radioactive materials are released into the air every day by coal power plants! Not to mention nitrous and sulfurous oxides, and scores of carcinogenic compounds. Even if the Nevada test site is compromised hours after it is sealed, it would still have a minimal effect on humanity, compared to what those who are against nuclear power are forcing the world to resort to.
People love to bash nuclear power, but nobody seems to care about the dangers of the alternatives.
So unless you want to shut down slashdot, we need to acknowledge that we need electricity, and nuclear is the safest practical way to get it.
Anti-freeze would work better, contrary to the previous two posts, anti-freeze not only depresses the freezing point of water, it increases the heat capacity. This means that you need less fluid to move the same amount of heat.
The Space Shuttle has very different needs for it's cooling system, one of the most important being working in a vacuum. This means that the of the 3 methods of transferring heat (conduction, convection, and radiation), only radiation is acceptable. To do this black body radiation part, of the shuttle, the radiator, must do something entirely unacceptable for your computer: get really hot. Black body radiators are among the least efficient coolers in the business, and a very bad choice for computers.
The ceramic coolers you are thinking about work just the came as other CPU heat sinks, that is they conduct the heat away from the cpu and the convect it off to a passing fluid (air, water, oil...), they just do it better than metallic heat sinks.
An important thing to consider when looking at water coolers for computers is that they recalculate the water, so... In order to work, they ultimately need to dump the heat that the pick up. which means these things still have fans, they just cool water, instead of metal.

This is exactly like the open source software!

your right, I meant atoms...
but technically all atoms that are not bonded to other atoms are molecules too.
and every atom is an isotope.
Why in hell would you protect a protion of the plutonium, and not all of it?

International waters belong to no nation, but the fish pulled out of the water belongs to the fisherman who caught them.
Same with the rocks from the moon being US property
how do I opt out?
I assume this could work better than spam opt out, telcos are much more traceable than email...
Diesel fuel is not explosive at all, no oxidizer, the stuff just burns.
Diesel fumes are explosive.
