I thought you were describing sailplane accidents until you got to the fuel part. Two of the 4 are so common that sometimes you don't even get teased for it. Flip overs are a result of the more common looping. We have wings hit the ground on nearly every flight and have to learn to minimize the effect.
Instead of "it is just as safe" you might want to say "the FAA considers it just as safe." (assuming the steel one could pass too) Hopefully the FAA chose the right tests.
Pretty much what he is saying now. So a corollary might be that when Moore stops predicting, Moore's law only has 10 years to run. Which means we all better hope he doesn't die any time soon.
I used to work for a large medical company with a policy that said "no non-business related pornography." WTF? Which begged the question "We have company related pornography?!?!" Ok, we did a lot of OB/GYN work, but technically that ain't pornography any more than a medical textbook (unless disease turns you on).
You have a god point buried in your post. They are both going after the masses. You could also point out that doesn't mean one or the other created the masses. For example, McDonalds feeds the masses, same masses MS sells to. But it doesn't mean that McDonalds made MS possible.
I agree, but it's not trial becoming an educated system builder. Back when Computer Shopper could kill small pets if dropped and I read it monthly, I could build a system no problem.
Fast forward a decade, my career is different and I'm not as well informed. But I need to build a specialized system. For FEA on large problems (100,000+ nodes) you need masses of fast RAM. Fast everything. But I own a big chunk of my business and have to pinch pennies or it comes out of my pocket. Even if I go to someone to build it for me, I better know what I'm asking for.
So now I've got to figure out how to balance cost against speed. But then throw in the sometimes large chunk/sometimes small chunk memory access for long periods with gigabytes of ram and do I go for latency, bandwidth, etc, etc? So I go a researchin'. Lot's of information, but no clear conclusion. In the end, I may end up paying through the nose for RAM "just in case." My business depends on it.
So far it looks like DDR3 is ill suited to FEA by its very nature. It'd stall the processor too much. So if I overpay, it will be for tried and true low latency, fast RAM suitable for overclocking but not to provide stability and avoid buying registered RAM.
The one remaining glitch may be the affiliates. All those local stations have agreements with the networks. Probably something along the lines of exclusive distributors for initial broadcast in exchange for a cut of the advertising revenue. Downloads confuse the situation. Cutting out the local affiliates would have them screaming bloody murder.
Since signal quality is so important to him, Mr. Frank is welcome to come over and fine tune the bunny ears on my tv at his earliest convenience.
BTW, my way of limiting TV viewing is to use bunny ears on an HDTV (analog signal, not digital). Fewer channels and you've really got to want to see a show to put up with warped high resolution static. But if Mr. Frank can pull in "Heroes" a bit better, I'd appreciate it.
I'd be curious if the effect works with braille. Is the information routed through the area of the brain needed to "unmix" letters or not? I would guess yes, but the result would be interesting either way. Some processes take place in the eye itself, but this doesn't seem like one of them.
It would be interesting to compare tactile reading to visual reading. How much is pre-processed by the eye(s), how much is handled by the brain, and how much is routed around the brain?
I recall once reading that 1/3 of drugs tested on rats and mice have different effects with each (it may have been toxicity). Even if 1/3 is exaggerated, the point was that extrapolating to humans is even more dicey.
Living in Kentucky, I can tell you a relational database would be handy if actually used. Why I've got in-laws that, well, I won't go into details. Let's just say I suspect my wife married an out of stater for fresh genes.
Cichlids are a great example of evolution, with some species only a couple thousand years old. The second jaw is thought to be why they are so successful and diverse.
Send them outside. They can be mighty creative with just stuff in the yard. Both of mine are under 2, so my wife insists I go with them (might be just a ruse to get rid of me too). But even a stick and a rock seem mighty entertaining to them. The 17 month old thinks I'm a god just pushing the rock with a stick, while the 4 month old thinks his brother is a god for being able to pick up the stick without losing an eye. No, they aren't retarded (that's the official line, anyway). Kids can just make anything fun if given a chance.
Meanwhile I'm amassing a Lego and Brio empire for when they are a bit older. I might even let them play with it.
... would have figured out how to laser, CT, or MRI the original (preferably still in the original packaging to preserve the value) and made it available for download. Maybe insert his own face depending on ego. Replacing the face on the original (ok, original copy) is the mark of an interesting idea poorly thought out.

Keep the policy simple. Why?

Sorry about that. The name and address were made up.
Not enough writing samples yet. It says:
25% Kerry
18% Gore
7% Osama
5% Hillary
45% 3rd grader Stevie Able of 1209 Mayburn St, Dallas, Tx
If you could post a few more messages please.
From my experience:
... scream, time ... scream, time "Honey, you're going through false labor. Can I get you something to ease the pain?"
... scream, time ... scream, time ... scream, snore ... scream, snore ...
Kid one
Scream, time
Kid two
Scream, time
So the best French military success of the last two decades was accomplished by Iraq? Or did I ruin a joke by giving away the punchline?

So we should reject the next rich powerful candidate because she is related to a former president? Just trying to apply your logic to present day.

I'm not sure you can develop a completely fair apportionment of votes. There will always be weird scenarios.
By population: Should Nigeria have more say than France on nuclear standards?
By economic power: Should the US have more say on kimchi than Korea? (yeah, I'm stretching there, but hopefully you get the point.)
By ISO membership: well, you're looking at the effect of that.
And so on.
It might just be a matter of selecting the least worst.

What? Not that kind of relational?
A second jaw is not new. In fact, it is a defining characteristic of some fish (cichlids) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cichlid#Anatomy_and_a ppearance.
