Find out if you already live in a state/nation/province/territory that practices Castle Doctrine - and if not, I'd make long term plans to end up living in one.
They are 4160v multiple 1000 horsepower motors (can't remember exact size), no way lead acid batteries can do that (let alone the UPS's), simply no way. One easy way to vouch for this fact is that the UPS's only produced 270VAC power!
VAC is not power. If you need more VAC, you use a transformer. You need to know VAs or Watts to make a determination on if it could handle the load.
So? Those are already built into the complex. That's a pretty standard feature now.
And that's not concrete. It's a special material that will melt when the core drops into it, and convection will circulate the fluid. It still needs (massive) external cooling to keep the whole mess tolerable, else it will just exacerbate the problem when it melts through the bottom of that containment pool.
Likely the problem has to do with the depth without focus. Or, in the case of modern games, "Depth of Field" being applied and fighting with your eyes 'detection' of depth.
This gives me issues - if you watch something in 3D, it all needs to be in focus (and looks bland) - otherwise you'll have issues where your eyes try to focus on something (and fail, being impossible) - causing much strain.
The kind that can be hidden about in various containers and hastily reassembled somewhere else and fired?
You know, the "insurgents" have been doing that for a long time now in Afghanistan and Iraq, etc - or do you think those mortar shells just appear in the clouds like some bizarre weather phenomena?
Doesn't fit. The chorus answer has one too many syllable in the first word to fit the meter. You'd have to find a two syllable (likely offensive) replacement, or abbreviate it like you have a speech impediment ( "jap'nese" ?)... yea, I actually went there.
What about wrapping it in HTTPS? HTTPS is HTTPS, there's no way to know the internal content without having both keys, and that isn't going to happen.... and I don't expect that's going to fly very well.
So you mean they respond to torrent traffic by throttling everything? WTF!?
Is this some $40 Traffic "Shaper" they have patched into their network!? They can't throttle the specific connections or protocols that are objectionable?
I'm with Rogers and I've seen this a lot. For me, it's not about high latency, it's an auto-disconnect. If a torrent download starts while the game is on, you get disconnected, full stop. Very annoying, especially since we've asked about it before and they basically said that we were idiots who didn't know how to set router priorities.
I'd be inclined to agree. You did connect your uplink to Rogers, for example.
Our office has a Comcast business line (while we wait for some jackass to hurry up and fix our broken fiber) - several times a day, our latency spikes up to - in some cases - 15 fucking seconds.
MTR graphs show this latency spike is always in the middle of Comcast's local network.... I think once you get past the first few circles of Hell, it doesn't really matter how evil you are compared to your neighbors.
Yea. They can't be bothered to let you type a fucking limit yourself, or yet you use a real client to download the thing.
I think that part is what pisses me off the most. I've posted the suggestion countless times in the bugs forum, been told countless times they would take it under consideration....
Specifically, when you pay for a gold membership you are paying for the xbox network access and content distribution network. Sure, some of that is used with or without an account - the cost you pay subsidies those basic features being "free" for the non-subscribers.
Sure, it seems a bit ridiculous to charge for a device to access the internet (providing they don't provide said internet - which they don't) but they DO charge you to use their gateways etc. Entirely within their right, no matter how stupid you may think it is.
Now, to the GP (not you, stealth_finger - you seem to get it) and others:
Also, $60/year is... HOLY FUCK $5 PER MONTH!?
That's a coffee or a lunch at your local fast food provider. Really. Obtain some perspective.
I'm pretty sure all those plant planners and engineers aren't a bunch of idiots.
Where else are you going to put it? Japan isn't exactly geologically distributed. You could put the plant in the most remote location you can find, and it would still give you problems... and now you've got people driving all the way out to nowhere to go to work or do whatever needs doing, and you have all the wonderful efficiency of long range power transmission.
Then I'm sure at least a handful of PHBs are around to make sure there's always something done wrong.
The CVT doesn't have "top gear" - there is no gearing. When you aren't doing something like accelerating, the system balances RPM vs engine speed to the most appropriate ratio. When you are, it doesn't over or under rev - it gives you the torque you command with the throttle, smoothly.
When I'm cruising, my RPM stays between 2k and 3k. Generally I will be the first off the line and ahead of the group only by bringing it up to 4k.

... then they deserve a Cleavland Steamer.
You know how people are. That might just be the reason!
So, would it have changed if it, say, just sent a notice home that it was pirated? I'm sure a large amount of software does this quietly...

We had similar generators need emergency work.
They arc-welded the fore-arm thick copper cables right to the fucking terminals. (the small honda generator you mention was driving the welder)
In an emergency, you do what you need to do.

Yea, and why do you suppose Chernobyl exploded? Because the meltdown caused a steam explosion.
The same (or worse) could happen at Fukushima.

Coupled with a thermal exhaust failure!
(actually a meltdown isn't excess reaction - it's deficient cooling - emphasizing meltdown)
The half-life would be a graph hole. You know, considering it will never degrade... :P
That's special.

I'd much rather pay for a rate percentile commit. It works fine at the DC, but for some reason the "classic" ISPs can't figure it out.
Jidgo is pretty damn slick!
Yea, and your 40 minute update (with p2p on and a non-retarded ISP) baloons to hours, if not over a day.
Sounds like a good trade to me! ...
Yea. They can't be bothered to let you type a fucking limit yourself, or yet you use a real client to download the thing.
I think that part is what pisses me off the most. I've posted the suggestion countless times in the bugs forum, been told countless times they would take it under consideration....
There's an all-or-nothing switch - you can't throttle it or set limits, and of course you can't use your own torrent client to download it.
And the non-p2p download (via HTTP I believe) is slow as fuck, comparatively.
... bbbuut it's THE INTERNET! It's different! (... somehow?)
