You should be ok on this, You'll get the same notice you would if you walked into any other service "black hole" - you get no bars of connectivity.
Happens to me all the time at work. Though the building wasn't deliberately engineered that way, it's still effective at blocking cell signals from T-Mobil.

The DIY Tank
·
· Score: 5, Informative
IIRC, the Panther was the PzKw V, Tiger was PzKw VI. The confusion is reasonable though, since the Tiger was actually deployed first (again IIRC). This model seems to be based on the Tiger.
Visually, the Panther and Tiger are striking different. The Panther has sloping front armor, the Tiger has a thicker unsloped front plate - not quite as sophisticated, a more brute-force approach to armoring a tank.
Also, as I recall, "Panzer" can be taken colloquially to mean "tank", but the full name of the machine is revealing "PanzerKamphWagen" - which literally translates as "armored fight(ing) vehicle".
I knew all that SL/ASL would come in handy someday!
I suspect the turbine has overspeed protection - the turbine shuts down. This will cause the steam loop to stop losing energy and quickly overheat. As I understand it, steam/water is on a loop, goes through the boiler to the turbine, through a condenser and back to the boiler. Anyhow, without the turbine extracting energy, this loop will overheat and fail, OR you have to eliminate/reduce the input to the boiler. This is the "dynamic loading" issue with nuke plants - you don't have much of a "low power" setting, I guess.
I suppose if you have a river nearby you can boil water for a while and vent to the outside air (using a heat exchanger, so as not to mess up your boiler loop chemistry or radiate the water in the case of a nuke plant) - but any extended use of this tactic is likely to upset the environmentally minded community.
Nuclear is likely not the issue as much as steam turbines. Steam power is pretty interesting, but the design of modern efficient turbines require that they have long startup times. This is to eliminate problems of differential thermal expansion. If you start a turbine quickly, the inside heats up (and expands) faster than the outside, causing the inside (the rotating rotor+blades) to expand into the outside (the stationary case) with catastrophic results.
More efficiency requires closer tolerences, which means less fudging on thermal expansion rates. So, you are effectively trading away operational flexibilty (can't shutdown and startup on a whim) for more fuel economy. Not that steam has ever been capable of quick startup, it takes time to heat up all the water in the system.
My understanding is that a typical steam turbine will take 12+ hours to go from cold slow roll to full speed/full power. But, perhaps in this case FPL was able to keep the steam temperature up and the turbine hot until they could restore the load...
hehe, i was at work, someone interupted me right as i hit send. I turned around and talked for a minute.... when I turned back,/. was complaining about something or other and saying "bad submission" - so I redid it. My bad!
Assuming a 16 hour waking day, this girl is texting every 4.2 minutes, 7 days a week. No time for homework, or exercise, or driving around, or work, that's for sure. You gotta wonder - is she obese, from no exercise, or anorexic, from no time to eat?
Or can you eat and text at the same time?? Maybe she's just ambidexterous.
Assuming a constant rate of texting, and that she's up 16 hours a day, this comes to a text message every 4.2 waking minutes. Apparently this girl does nothing else.
My suggestion: get her a hobby, ANY hobby, anything to get her away from the phone for another 4 minutes... geez, she'd gotta be failing, there's no time for homework in there. Or exercise. Or heck, ANYTHING.
US-50, central Nevada - two lanes (one each way) seperated by a thin yellow line of paint - legally 75Mph, but not enforced at all! Woohoo! oh, and all the other roads in Nevada more than 50 miles from Reno or Las Vegas...
except I-80 and I-15, they have 4 lanes (two each way)
still, ya gotta love PAVED roads! So nice and cushy to drive on!
So, as long as I churn out second rate overblown sci-fi and inane social commentary - I am free to bash, discredit and spread hate and religious intolerance?
Freedom of speech means you don't even have to churn out second rate overblown sci-fi to have this right. "Bash, discredit, and spread hate" is your spin on what he is doing, others have other opinions.
Of course, on Slashdot, your opinion is the only Approved opinion, and all others should be mercilessly suppressed. Oh, well, unless they also produce some decent fiction, then maybe we'll consider tolerating it...
As an employer, you must choose between two people, one who has the piece of paper that says he can do the job, and one who doesn't. With no other information to go on, which one do you choose?
If your saying "you should have them do the real work" that isn't a viable option because....
Once you have a reputation as someone who will hire people without the piece of paper, everyone will apply!!
To give you an example, last round of hiring I was involved in, we wanted three (3) Computer Science grads for entry level positions. C/C++ knowledge required, Computer Science/Computer Engineering degree required, etc.
We recruited at 3 colleges - where we got the respondents we wanted and eventually hired. But we also were required by our company to post the job internally - it's a large well-known company, and the internal posting (which shows up _somewhere_ externally, don't ask me how...) generated 40+ leads, all of them bogus. Including an aeronautical engineer in Russia without a green card. Including a mechanical engineer in India without a green card. Including other people without degrees, without a clue what C/C++ is, etc, etc, etc.
You cannot possibly evaluate all the people that will apply if you leave the position unqualified - it's hard enough when qualification ARE required. Even when qualifications are required, the effort to remove the unqualified from the process requires effort. You simply must have some prescreen that can be applied. The "piece of paper" test is one of those. You can demand some basic proof of competence that an HR drone can use to whittle down the pile from 1000's of applicants to a few who at least have the background required on paper.
India has only one time zone, and it is a half-hour off from the standard time zones, just to make things painful, I think.
That's what you get when you let your local nationalist make the rules.:-) "We gotta be INDEPENDENT (read - different) from other countries! Its a matter of PRIDE!

1. Are you using some kind of time compression technology...? 9am - 6pm = 9 hours, I think you will find.
Lunch, kid. Wait till you get a job, and find out it ISN'T 9-5, it's 8-5, or 9-6, or 7-3:30 (with 1/2 hour lunch). Only in Hollywood's imagination do you get a paid lunch. Otherwise, you got to make up the time...
We don't like Microsoft, NY Times (reg req'd) etc.
I'm glad I'm not the only person who now thinks of the NY Times (reg req'd), and thinks the (reg req'd) is part of their name. I'm begining to think that if they drop that, they'll be risking their trademark.
I'm really not familiar with that usage of the word "Christian", what exactly was he saying there? I know "Catholic" can mean all embracing or universal, but have never heard of another usage for "Christian" except the religion. He's not really saying "Since we're Christians we aren't interested in making cars for bugs" right? That doesn't make any sense. So what's it mean?
To be a Christian, in the traditional sense of the word, is to be a giving, caring, generous person - that is, to be "Christ-like". So, replace Christian with Christ-like, and you've got the idea - "our interests in being generous and caring don't go that far".
It's based on the theology that Christ gave himself in propitiation for the sins of Mankind. Christ is therefore the ideal of generousity.
Hurrah! hurrah! Open Source will save the whales, end world hunger, enforce World Peace, tax the rich, give to the poor, resolve religious differences, make the lazy ambitious, ban landmines, save the rainforest, and solve Europe's economic malaise.
Too bad that/. is basically American and can't detect sarcasm.
I don't need to, since I was referring to the recent trend of teenagers in the US going on killing rampages simply because they have the capacity and lack a wider perspective, which strikes me as being quite an apt parallel with Anakin Skywalker. What did you think I meant?
4GB is peanuts. My best friend (same company as me) works on a system that does ~50MB/sec, max rate. That comes to 1GB/20secs. They have a proprietary box to do it, with 4 or 5 processors and a buttload of dsps (they are storing essentially a set of 24 ocsiliscope signals).
The application is vibration monitoring in industrial machinery. A reasonable "session" in such an environment would be a machine startup or stop - depending on the machine this could take several minutes to hours. For the "hours" scenarios, you are typically looking at heat soaking - run the machine up part way, soak, run it up some more, soak, etc. You want to avoid differential thermal expansion. That's where the rotor of the machine expands faster ('cause it's nearer the heat source) and grows right into the case of the machine. That's bad...:-(
Anyhow, I have no doubt there are even higher speed collection systems out there... likely for very specialized applications.
