Solid lifters are always hard to keep in adjustment, that's why back in the old days some 440 six packs would outrun a 426 Hemi. So with a Hemi your valves and cam have to be dead on.
Yeah, it's pretty much the implementing something, that is the hard part. Sometimes it's better to be second than first. So go ahead and tell the expert. If he implements it first, so what, it's usually the guy to be second or third to have the success. Look at the i Pod for instance. It was far from first or even the best at the time. Edison didn't even invent most of that stuff he took credit for. He was just the boss over many other inventors.
--Theres nothing wrong with that though. Now, if you actually -do- any of those things, yes it is wrong. But talking about it? No one gets hurt so therefore it should not be prohibited.--
There are limits to this like yelling "FIRE" when their ain't one. Where the line should be drawn I don't know, but I know it shouldn't be because you criticize; we'll not just religion but the Catholic Church in general. I hope the rest of the EU does not end up the same way.
Yeah, we'll it wasn't the product. How it couldn't earn money off a Billion gross in the 80's is beyond me. They were blowing a lot of money on stupid shit tooo early, etc. This was the early 80's boy where their Billionaires were real old fashion ones like Howard Hughes. After the original line up quit they burned up soon after simple as that. A 12000XL is cool through time and space. This will be on the Net now 1000yrs. because of Archive.org but anyways?
--Atari's problem seemed to be that they tried to do too many things at once and lacked focus.--
Atari when Warner owned was a billion dollar a year company. Jack Tramiel really fubared Atari. All those old Atari guys quit and went to Amiga like Jay Minor. Atari should have had that and Commodore should have had the ST.
I think we could pile trash up in the middle of the Atlantic to form a small continent. AND we could fund it by putting casinos on top of it as well as one gigantic solar farm. AND I know I know we could call it "The Atlantis Resort Continent". That would solve the waste problem, the energy problem, and make a mighty big profit at the same time. Easy just a lot of barges from the East Coast dumping trash into the Atlantic. It even helps your carbon footprint by sinking the carbon underwater.
El Alamein was important too. There was friendly territory after that point. Control of the Suez. It was all about resources and how the Germans used theirs wrong. No one has ever beat the Russians head on and even if they did they still lost. Now if Hitler would have followed Rommel's advice and used all of those resources thrown at Russia to take the Suez canal, they would have been able to link up with the Japanese. They would have had Stalin boxed in and no one could have sent him any war materials. There was plenty of oil in Indochina at that time. India would have been out of the picture. The Germans should have definitely defeated the British before even thinking about going into Russia. They could have got oil a lot easier by going in a different direction. After Stalingrad every move Germany made was backwards. It was therefore the most important battle of WWII by a large measure. The US and the UK played it smart and let the Russians do most of the fighting and dying like taking Berlin for example. The Russians wanted that job so we all said sure. One thing is for sure the US outpaced the UK as the most powerful nation on the face of this earth and still is barely. I think we ought to give the job of world policeman back to the Brits. At least Africa and the Middle East was in better shape. Not great but better. Now we sure no how to whop ass but when it comes to setting up governments after wards the UK had us and still does have us beat.
Another thing the Japanese should have attacked Russia instead of US but we were fighting an undeclared war in the Atlantic anyhow. With Britain out of the war the Russians may have lost too especially if the Japanese would have tried to link up with them. Australia would have went next or about the same time. The Axis could have then gathered their strength and came after us then we would all be speaking German.
--We won not because our geeks were better, though they were darn good. We won because we *listened* to them!--
No we won because we had massive amounts more resources than they did. They picked fights with too many nations AND they were still hard to beat.
--Hitler wasn't some demonic bad-ass bad-guy.--
I think you are doing a disservice to 9 million dead Jews.
--He didn't have the technical knowledge to realize the value of the wonder-weapons until late in the war when the 3rd Reich got desperate, and then it was too late.--
They spent too much on this stuff when they should have spent it on fighters to maintain air superiority. When they lost that they were done. Hitler might have been stupid, but he had some damn smart generals that started using tactics like combined arms warfare that is still being used today. We caught on about 43 to 44 and turned their own tactics against them. The Russians we'll did it the stupid way, send a bunch of men straight ahead. Of course they had a LOT of men compared to the Germans.
--His right-hand man Goering didn't have a complete grasp of the importance of good intelligence and command and control. (He would have won the Battle of Britain, but he didn't know that he should've continued his campaign against the sector stations.)--
He did want to keep after the airfields. Hitler wouldn't let him and went to war with the Russians before finishing the one with the British. The Germans considered them done. We'll they were very wrong there.
--That it has. Michelangelo got his engineering degree building war machines. Those machines have taught us a lot about ballistics, momentum, and other fields of physics.--
I doubt even they would do it. I just blindly posted the data while forgetting "yeah were running a mail server and VPN but not web server". We just apparently didn't everything we didn't use blocked at the firewall. I did wonder about that network buffer thing though everything else seems OK from them 1500 ms is a lot? I think they are throttling that.
Network buffer measurements: Uplink 1500 ms, Downlink 100 ms
We estimate your uplink as having 1500 msec of buffering. This is quite high, and you may experience substantial disruption to your network performance when performing interactive tasks such as web-surfing while simultaneously conducting large uploads. With such a buffer, real-time applications such as games or audio chat can work quite poorly when conducting large uploads at the same time.
Actually, I think it's the app now. We have VPN and an email server here, but not a web server. So the firewall is letting it through, but it's not going anywhere after that because the web server is not installed. Could that be it? Problem or lack thereof solved.
I run the applet with IE because I have Firefox set to not run that stuff. BTW, does anyone smart here know how to adjust packet buffering? The only other negative thing was the computer clock being 76 seconds fast. Wait I get to go home 76 seconds early;)
I think you have to test with a static IP. You are behind NAT so I don't think you are going to be running a web server. I think what has happened is that someone like me with a static IP run the test, but I forgot, we are not running a web server, so it couldn't get through. The applet got through the firewall and hit a dead end. No one else is getting it blocked pretty much so I'm suspicious about it.
BTW, I would post a link to my IP address on/. I would cut n paste and leave the vitals out of it.
I got a different result here. Not sure why yet, but just because they appear to be blocking incoming UDP 53 doesn't really bother me as we are are using our static for a mail server and VPN. It's being blocked alright but as of right now I dunno how or why. You can't always trust applets like this.

All I'm saying, is don't underrate your college education. If I know what you do without a degree, do I get a job like yours? I don't think so. Just taking only the classes that apply to your job, interests, or whatever I don't think is enough. I think you have to be able to get through the stuff you don't like too. Maybe history, government, health or whatever that is required at that college. Of course I went to a small college with small classroom sizes. It was more hands on. I thought my education was defective at first in my field. Then I saw all of these others getting jobs for just taking a 2 year class at ITT tech or something else like that. It doesn't seem to matter about their parents or their parents are pretty much the same, but those people can't accomplish anything without help. The usual excuse they have is: "We didn't do it that way in school or where I worked last time." I'm telling them are you in school now or where you worked last time. Give the people paying you results not excuses.
How is this force measured, without there being resistance felt the other way in the pilots hand?
Are you saying that an F-16 is measured by force and all other FBW systems measured by position like a 1980's coin operated video game?
If they all work like the F-16 does now then that would seem good enough to me, but maybe they could add it like one of today's console games where you can turn it on or off. If you were about to crash it could vibrate or something. That might actually have more meaning than a warning light with noise or something to that affect.
I actually have done some more studying and found out that the first Airbus's to have FBW, really didn't work that we'll in the human to computer interface somehow, but the A320 is supposedly much improved from the models that they had in 1988.
Maybe all you need is a stronger spring, less slack, etc. It really is a much more complicated problem than the article suggests it is.
