I once went to a fabulous exhibit of his work, and it really covered an amazing range of subjects. People kicking footballs (interesting deformations), hitting golf balls, bursting balloons, and of course, shooting fruit and playing cards.
One of the most interesting things was research into nighttime arial photography of germany during the war. He was an expert on high power flashes, and that was part of the project. Didn't work because it wound up lighting up the whole sky, and giving it all away.
The best quote was when someone came into his lab to ask if they had a deck of playing cards to lend out. His answer was "Nope, shot 'em all up."
Low resistance means low rolling resistance, very different from the stickiness of the tires. It does mean less traction but not no traction.
And almost all the cars on the street with a spoiler, don't need them. Not one little bit. Most cars that are tricked out for street racing don't need them, cause those guys don't really race.
About one of the only mainstream cars that truly needs a spoiler is the beetle, and that's cause it has such wierd arodynamics. And that's only needed at 90! A hybrid isn't going to have any problems sticking to the ground, because at this point, none of them are performance cars.
I'm not addressing the legality, of that I have no idea.
Depleted uranium is still radioactive, just not radioactive that much. Weapons grade uranium is enriched. Depleted uranium has 40% less radioactivity than natural uranium, but it is most certainly radioactive.
But then, so are some glow in the dark watches and the mesh bags from a propane lantern.
What makes DU rounds troublesome is the burning of them, and that releases airborne radioactive particles, which many people argue about the toxicity/lethality of.
HOMEOWNERS are typically allowed to do wiring after the meter pan, and in many areas you have to have the inspector come look at it after you are done.
Commmercial buildings are an entirely different animal, and are usually requred to use a licensed electrician.
You can always call the local building inspector's office and check the codes wherever you are.
I have to disagree with that statement. I also have to say that I used to agree with that statement. A trade union (electrician, plumber)is very useful, from both sides of the fence.
From the worker, you have a job, get a decent wage, get training, and get placement. Good workers look for good companies. A good company will always have work and treat their employees well. Lazy louts will have a harder go of it, and will wind up on furlough (Laid off) more often.
From the manager (my side) it's good too. If I hire a union electrician, he or she has to come with tools, and prepared and able to do a certain level of work. If this person cannot do that, I send them back. One of the big complaints about non-union work is a lack of training. And I've seen it happen. A guy shows up and says he's an electrician, but he barely knows how to change a light bulb, let alone install electric panels!
And yes, a union electrician costs more, but the odds are you're going to get a better job out of a union shop. That said, there are non-union shops out there (especially away from the east coast, where there is less organized labor) that do great work. But even then a good shop is going to cost more because in the end, you get what you pay for.
One last thing, this all pertains to more physical, blue collar work, construction and maintenance of data centers, not the programming and operation of the equipment in it.
And no, I'm not in a union, but I use them. And I'm good at it!
What would happen if a major league pitcher threw a fastball at you? That's less than half a pound at around 100 miles an hour. And probably about as firm, remember, the foam was not "squishy".
I hope you're never in a position where you need help from a volunteer fire department. I'm sure you wouldn't want to have your life saved by someone who had to get up in a movie.
Do you also yell at people who get up to go to the bathroom?
Because if I look at my phone, and go outside to answer the thing, that's how disruptive it is.
I actually read the "Product Blog" for about 2 minutes, and that was about all I could stand. Not only is the product not mentioned, the brand isn't mentioned, no descrption, nothing. Product ad campaigns that are stealthy can work if done right, ad campaignes that are undetectable are an utter failure. It's as though these guys forgot the basics of advertising.
1)People must remember the product. 2)People must remember the brand.
"Did you see that ad in the superbowl for Bud Light with the two chicks?" -That's the sigh of a great ad. People mention the product when they talk about what they saw. "Did you see that superbowl commercial with the cats, what the hell was that?" -People will say this generates buzz, as people try to find out about it. I think people just get bored, and talk about the two hot chicks fighting over the beer.
I think this capaign will be an utter failure. Half because of this undetectable marketing, and half because they're trying to market new milk. Milk! I mean really, it's milk, it has always come in two kinds, white and chocolate. Pina Coloda milk? Not likely.
Salaried/Exempt (Officers & management) do not get paid an hourly wage, and are not required to be paid overtime.
Hourly/Non-Exempt (Workers) are required to be paid overtime for extra hours worked.
Salaried/Non-Exempt (This is usually a manager/foreman who has to cover shifts, or supervises workers) You get a salary, and are usually expected to put in whatever time it takes to do a days work. However, when you have to work a lot of extra hours, to cover extra work or an open position (vacation, illness), you have an overtime rate that you get paid. I've had jobs like this, and it's nice when they make you come in and work weekends.
Good work if you can get it, hard to find in the IT field (Which I'm not in.)
I've got another one, but you can't use it on yourself.
Put your thumb on the person's (victim's) forehead. I've no idea why this works, but it seems to be extremely effective. I think part of it has to do with the person concentrating on your thumb on their forehead.
I'm pretty sure that at one point Colin Farrel was using a browser that said "Opera" in huge text across the top. I thought it was an interesting choice, given that more than half the audience has probably never heard of it.
I've got to agree on using a travel agent. I use one for business, and once asked her point blank, "So, are you better than getting things online?"
She actually gave me an honest answer. You can get better prices on airling tickets online, because the agent charges booking fees, so if you have a site you know, (I like Orbitz and Travelocity), use it. She said (and I've had proven to me) that an agent can usually get better deals on hotels, cars and tours. I've used her for a bunch of hotel bookings, and she has always found better deals than I imagined ($160 a night at the Marriot in Hawaii, on 2 hours notice.)
A good office will have a specialist for lots of different things, and I've actually had them tell me "Just use the concierge at this hotel, they'll take care of you." Remember, they're in the business of taking care of peoeple and trying to make them happy, and a good travel agency will do just that.
But the equivalent of wireless acces would be plugging your tv/vcr straight into a cable line that already existis in your apartment. The fact that the cable company left it on and didn't disconnect the cable is their problem
This happens alot in apartment buildings where the previous tenant had cable. It's not theft of service, because it's property in my apartment, and there was no notice not to use it.

Not to be rude, but you are dead wrong.
HOMEOWNERS are typically allowed to do wiring after the meter pan, and in many areas you have to have the inspector come look at it after you are done.
Commmercial buildings are an entirely different animal, and are usually requred to use a licensed electrician.
You can always call the local building inspector's office and check the codes wherever you are.
I would actually argue:
i=square root of -1
I=current
As a power engineering student, I used both "i" and "I" continuously.
Is anyone else getting annoyed with the increase in last sentences that say "Check this link (Usually the poster's blog) for more details."
I wouldn't be so annoyed if it had more details. What most of them should say is "Check my link for a summary and all the pictures!"
I have to disagree with that statement. I also have to say that I used to agree with that statement. A trade union (electrician, plumber)is very useful, from both sides of the fence.

No, that was the one shuttel that didn't have the ISS docking capability.
That was also the reason they were in an entirely different orbit. One incapable of reaching the ISS with the amount of fuel onboard.

I beleive the first post is correct.

I've got to go with Darkonite.
And I predict that this will not have it's primary use in astonomical instruments.
It'll only be a matter of time before we read of tech millionares with Darkonite coated walls in their home theater systems.

I would argue that you can copyright this, and then DOS anyone who uses it without your permission. Spammers, marketers, friends, family, whoever....
