Because its efficient and powerful?
All a Hemi is, is a hemispherical combustion chamber, with valves located across from eachother and the spark plug in the middle. This is one of the best ways to ignite and burn fuel (spark starts at the narrow top and expands downwards from there), as well as flow gasses (from one side of the chamber to the other). It can be good for both power and efficiency (typically mutually exclusive), though it was the "Hemi Power" that made the concept famous.
Oh, and for the record, Chrysler didn't invent "Hemi's", nor are they the only automaker to use them. They were just smart enough to coin it as a buzzword (and then patent it).
Its supposed to be "I am become death, destroyer of worlds" but I was too lazy to write it out (that and I can never rember how to spell "Oppenheimer") so I copied and pasted from the first google quote I got. Then I hit submit and went "Oh shit, thats not right."
Damn you internet! Damn you for feeding me lies! *Shakes fist angrilly*
You... stupid thing. Useless tool. You... dumb...
I mean...
Aw crap, I never could stay mad at the net for long. Its so cute and innocent!
Cams are hit and miss. Theres at least one cam (telesync actually) floating around out there of Spiderman 2 that is VERY good quality. No jitter, no people standing up, etc. Its awesome. I also found a cam of The Girl Next Door that was really really good. Cept theres a part where the cam gets bumped and the picture is tilted for a few seconds while the guy fixes it:P. But thats what you get for fast and free.
There are a lot of really shitass cams out there too though. Like I said, its hit and miss. I find cams are most useful for those movies that i'm kind of interested in, but don't feel like blowing $20 to go see in the theatres. If its a really good movie, then yeah, I might go see it with some friends or something. If it sucks, all i've wasted is two hours and some bandwidth.:)
$19.95 for a tinfoil antenna booster, with a free tinfoil hat for ordering now! The first 15 customers will get a bonus mint (I found some under my bed). Price includes shipping, and one of those tiny bags of potato chips.
Everyone knows you can't beat something thats "all that and a bag of potato chips!"
Vansen and Damphousse I can see surviving... but I don't know how Wang could have possibly survived that crash. He was in his flight suit when we last saw him, and he's still at the gun when the fighter crashes into him... he woulda barely had time to cross himself, much less suit up. And from all we know about those flying crates, they've never appeared to be compartmentalized. So having a chig crash into one and rip it in half doesn't seem like anyone inside would have a very good chance of surviving. Even Morgen and Wong said, IIRC, that "Wang is 99.9% dead".
But hell, could you imagine a SAAB reunion these days? Everyone is a decade older and all grown up. I don't think the cast could possibly have their same youthful innocence as before. They were, what, mid to late 20's in SAAB? And how old is Rodney Rowland now? 40 or something? Kristen looks great for a 36 year old, but would she have the same fire as a 25 year old Shane Vansen? And how would Morgan work out? He always had the boyish charm on the show, but he's an early-30's adult now. And they were the young kids of the show to boot. The old men are pushing 50 (TC/James Morrison) and 60 (Ross/Tucker Smallwood) respectively!
Perhaps some things are better left dead.
(Or at least a new spinoff with another squadron and a new cast! Kidding, kidding.;))
We DID eventually get to see what the Chigs looked like in S:AAB though. I think it was the last two episodes (23: "And if they lay us down to rest..." and 24: "...Tell our moms we done our best") where they landed on the Chig moon and ran around in the swamp chasing the nursery-chig. Kinda reminded me of a predator, but without the dreads or funky jaw. Deep eye sockets, low snout, kind of a droopy mouth. They had gill-like things too (I think you got to see that in one of the very first episodes when they capture a chig). And of course, like all good Chigs they made them incessant clicking noises non-stop.
Course, then the heroes screwwed things up by warning the nursery-chig of the attack... the diplo chig goes suicide bomber, and all hell breaks loose while the 58th are out exchanging prisoners. I wont ruin the ending... but damn. What a way to end a show. It's almost been a decade and I still miss it (luckilly I have all 24 eps on CD).
In the immortal words of Wang: "HU-RAH! GET SOME!!";)
Damn, I remember being like 7 years old and drooling over the latest EGM with my buddies, and we ALL wanted to know who Sushi-X was. Hell, we all wanted to be Sushi-X too:
"I call Spiderman!"
"I call Wolverine!"
"I call Sushi-X!"
"Hey! I wanted to be the ninja! Sushi was mine!"
"No he wasn't!"
"Yes he was!"
"I want Sushi! You can be Wonder Woman!"
*Laughter*
Ah, to be 7 years old again! ...excuse me while I go dig around in the basement for my NES.
Meh, didn't work on me. I've got Firefox set up to open links in new tabs, so all that happened was the supposed "frame" from Secunia appeared in its own tab. The only way for a link to open within an existing tab is if A) I tell it so, and B) it originates from the same tab. So nyeh!
Yeah, wastegates route the exhaust past the exhaust turbine and just back into the (exhaust) piping. Some turbochargers have internal wastegates, some (typically larger) turbos require external ones which bypass the turbocharger altogether.
Next thing. If your pressure is dropping at high RPMs, it could mean your turbo is too small. If you spin a turbocharger too fast, its efficiency drops rapidly. You start to use a lot of power just to spin the thing, because the compressor wheel will begin to "chop" the air instead of drawing it in smoothly (this is called overspin). A bigger turbo doesn't have to spin as fast to move the same amount of air, so it won't begin to chop until you move much more exhaust gas through it. The major downside of a larger turbo is, of course, increased turbo lag. If you go to the other extreme with a massive turbo and a too small engine, you can hit the turbos surge limit. Literally, this means that the force of the exhaust isn't strong enough to resist the force of the air you're trying to compress. This can be harmful to your turbo, and can even cause compressor stall (where the turbines stop moving: a very good way to wreck your turbo).
It makes more sense if you think of it like leverage. With a long lever, you can move an object very easilly, but not very fast. With a short lever, it takes a lot more effort to move an object, but it will travel a lot faster. So a small turbo is like a long lever: easy for a small engine to move, but won't push out air very fast. A large turbo is like a short lever: you need more exhaust energy to move it, but it will huff a hell of a lot more air. Compressor surge is when you're too weak to even move the short lever, and overspin is where you're trying to move a long lever so fast that you waste a lot of effort in just moving so damn much.:)
So the goal is to find a turbo that your engine can move easilly, but that still compresses the most amount of air possible. Most stock turbos are actually undersized for their application. Since people demand throttle response over huge top end, the manufacturers tend to pick turbines that spool VERY quickly and hit their peak efficiency at mid throttle. This leaves the turbo starting to overspin as the engine approaches its rev limit, hence the pressure drop.
As for sequential turbos, yes they're fun:). Kind of complicated and messy with two different sized turbines, but still fun.
People, people, people! Turbochargers are ALWAYS spinning, and ALWAYS moving air. Period! Its a closed system, and the only way around it is via the wastegate which is shut until you reach maximum boost.
Of course, at low rpms the effect isn't very noticible because you'll still be generating an intake vacuum - only it'll be slightly less than a naturally aspirated car. Now it depends on the turbo and what its compressor map looks like, but even a little gas (like when cruising) will spin the turbo fast enough to significantly cut down on intake vacuum. Get on the gas a little though, and you should see the vacuum decrease to the point of equilibrium, where the turbocharger is compressing air approximately as fast as the engine could suck it in by itself. Up to and including that point, its relatively easy for a turbo to move air because theres very little resistance. Above and beyond that though, you start generating positive pressure (boost), which is where the real work begins, drivers start having fun, and the fuel economy goes to shit. But nomatter what the engine is doing, the turbocharger is always doing its job, or at least trying to. Even at very low engine RPMs, your turbo can still be spinning at 10,000+ rpm, which is gonna move a little air no matter how you slice it.
So yes, parent is right. Turbocharged cars are always turbocharged. Its a common mistake to assume that your turbo isn't doing any work until it starts to generate positive pressure (boost).
Now get out there and enjoy the power-snails people!:D
Yeah, I think i've seen the mobile house thing before somewhere... but didn't it fall over? And what did Professor Frink say? Oh right! "The real humans won't, er, wo -- won't burn quite so fast"
Astronaut flambé anyone?
(PS: First person to mention lack of oxygen on the moon gets kicked in the head)
Except they're not even giving you anything of value on its own! Its like being given a fucking gift certificate to HMV after one of their CD racks fell on you and crushed your legs. That'd go over like a lead baloon, yet Microsoft can practically get away with murder? I don't get it. Something is seriously fucked with the system if this is what passes for "modern justice".
Just as a note, Flash Click To View is now known as FlashBlock.
Now there's good news and bad news about it. The bad news is, it hasn't been updated for v0.9. The good news is, it still works with 0.9 flawlessly (i'm running it right now). The only problem is it won't show up in your extensions menu, so disabling or removing it could be a pain. Now I say could be, because if you grab a little gadget known as Show Old Extensions, FlashBlock and any other pre-0.9 extensions you have installed will appear in the extension menu just like magic (cue angels singing). Hurray!
Gotta love open source communities. Solutions for everything!:)
Actually, Its Universial Sufferage. Oh, and "Leonardo's Workshop" (not DaVinci) reduces unit upgrade prices by 50%, it doesn't make them free.
Personally, I like the Pyramids (grainary in every city on the same continent), the Sistine Chapel (doubles effect of all Cathedrals), Leo's Workshop (halves unit upgrade costs), the Art of War (barracks in every city on the continent), Adam Smith's Trading Company (Free maintenance for Marketplaces, Banks, Harbors, and Airports), and sometimes Magellan's Voyage (+1 naval movement).
Of course, you can't really hand pick all your wonders in Civ 3. You've got to plan ahead, and take what you can get when the opportunity presents itself. The AI is pretty sadistic about building wonders (especially early on), so you've really got to aim for achievable wonder goals and go after them hard. Things can get really nasty, especially if the AI 'cascades' on wonders (eg: 6 AI's going after a single wonder - one of them finishes it, so the other 5 move on to a different wonder and take their previous progress with them. I've seen three or four wonders built all on the same turn because of #!&*@^ cascades).
The NDP is for WIPO/DMCA style laws, and the Conservatives are against it? What in the hell?! Not that its a bad thing mind you, but it seems like those two parties are on the other side of their usual fences.
Huh, maybe a Conservative government wouldn't be so bad after all. I still have to decide who i'm voting for (either Conservative or Green), but maybe now I won't cringe so badly when our new dictator is announced.
Oh, who am I kidding? This is Canada - I might as well start practicing my "horrified suprise" face now.
Dude! Couple this with some lead-painted shingles, and a couple of those dentists X-ray aprons for curtains, and my house will finally be impenetrable to their prying eyes (and ears).
Thats the one. Generally known as "The Cradle", since that's actually its (nick)name, and doesn't really spoil anything for people who aren't there yet.
And yes, its by far the freakiest, weirdest, and most creative level in all of Thief 3. The ending is a real teeth-clencher too. Enjoy!;)
One of my alltime fav RPG/Tactics games has to be Bahamut Lagoon. Shame it was never released stateside for the SNES, but luckilly you can find ROMS and translation patches floating around the net. It was a hella fun game. Great storyline, tons of characters (32 IIRC), and you even got to play a little pokemon-lite with your dragons by feeding them your junk items to level them up. I loved all the different personalities too. Some are kinda annoying (like Yoyo!), but others are hillarious - like Frenze and Reeve (LA-LA-LANCERS!:P). They worked really well in the story though... love, betrayal, loyalty, etc. All the clasic themes, done really well IMO. But overall the game was nice and simple. Mix and match your characters/classes (light armours RULE!!) into stacks, pair each stack with a dragon, and ride off into the battle. Really awesome experience. Hooked me right away too, even worse than (dare I say it?) Shining Force did.
Definitly worth checking out if you're any kind of RPGt fan.:)
Here's a stupid question. Hopefully someone knows the answer to this, because it's something i've never understood.
How the hell is this supposed to tell aliens just where the fsck that little tin can of ours came from?! Ok, obviously the picture at the bottom has the sun, the planets, and a big friggin arrow that should be rather obvious. But what in gods name is all that other stuff? Whats that burst-like thing supposed to be? A dogs butthole? Or what about the sideways parachute? Or the goofy looking glasses at the top? Whats it all mean? And how are the aliens supposed to figure out what it is?
I've wondered this ever since I saw that plaque oh so many years ago in elementary school. So I ask of the all knowing, all seeing,/. hive mind: Whats the deal? TYIA:)
