There are two throttle backs during orbiter ascent, neither of which have to do with G forces. The first occurs at approximately 1:31 when the shuttle hits Max-Q, maximum aerodynamic pressure. Once through Max-Q the shuttle is throttled back up until after the 8 minute mark, when the final throttle back commences. This is to turn the engines off before all fuel in the external tank is exhausted, because an emergency shutdown, the one caused by the sensors in the ET is rather painful on the turbopumps, and while better than the explosively catastrophic failure that would occur should the turbopumps run dry, is still not a very happy option. The shuttle doesn't achieve excessive G's by design.
Aucontraire: MySpace and YouTube can cause retardation.
A basic thought pattern I've observed at my highschool: "Oh hey, if I do somethintg stupid my video will be popular and people will like me."
Another one: "Oh hey, if I do wild, crazy, stupid, and illegal stuff then write in lurid and exagerated detail about it, my myspace will get a lot of hits and people will like me."
There is an underlying cause, true, of a complete lack of self esteem and ability to make rational decisions without the help of the masses, but MySpace and YouTube have been acting as amplifyers for this.
As one of the 20 (My fifth grade teacher actually read Piaget and showed it to me and labeled me as such) I look at my classmates and see that now (12th grade) they still struggle with symbolic concepts because they were codeled with the concrete for much too long. The example is physics, where the solutions are often entirely symbolic, many students have trouble with manipulating and thinking abstractly in symbols. However in earlier classes they are encouraged to plug in concrete values as soon as they learn them, and I was actually repremanded for using symbols (My Father is a Professor of Physics and when helping me with math homework at a young age insisted on my use of symbols instead of concrete numbers.) in Chemistry I when we were working with heating and cooling and temperature. While the concrete numberse were initially easily grasped by the class, problems quickly arose when they forgot the meaning of each number because it changed problem to problem and began to forget the theory behind what they were doing.
The result was that every single class member could work any type of problem they had seen previously on memory of the motions to go through, but had no clue as to what they were doing and could not solve any new type of problem based on the theory they knew.
In short: While they may still be developing the ability to understand abstractions, the sooner they begin learning the better they will be for life. You'll be doing them a favor by introducing them to the concept of a variable and a general solution.
That is true Bishop, but apperances and tournament winnings alone don't make a 6 figure income. Right from the article it sayes he invests most of it, and he's making his real money from returns on good investments, and also more recently name liscencing. He markedted himself with the skill of an adept businessman. His skill isn't in gaming but in business. True he may have the reaction time and time to practice gaming, but that is not his strongest point. I'm surprized that the business world hasn't taken notice.
His biggest win when he decided to go pro was $4000. If he didn't know to invest it wisely and use his tournament winnings as entry capital he'd be just another nerd living in his parents basement, burnt out after a few years of tournament play and a way to extravagant lifestyle.
But then again, there are some more off the beaten path Icons that stay there for years. They Might be Giants is a great example. The Johns are my Heros.
Just because you need a 30 years in the future reactor to leave the solarsystem doesnt mean you can use other reactors to run arround in the solar system until then... 30 years is just a blink in the cosmic scale any way, especially when star travel is concerned.
Weight. Even the components of a big reactor are heavy. A Tokamak style fusion reactor that exhausted into the engine feed would be the best system, and probably have the thrust to take us to the stars (1 G acceleration for 1 year to get damn close to lightspeed).
Formerly NASA's Adavnced Space Propulsion Laboratory (Recently privatized to get more money) has indeed developed a working VASIMR based fusion rocket engine that HAS run off of what is generally agreed to be the exhaust from a fusion reactor with very promising results. By Very promising I mean Mars in a month if the engine is fed the power output of a nuclear submarine's reactor. Only problem: Getting said reactor to space.
On the contrary it would require both high bandwidth and low latency. Latency is not so much the issue, as with a small ammount of data it can be brought down to insignificant levels.
The issue is bringing a large ammount of data at the same near zero latency. The precise movements of a robot, and the high resolution images from high-zoom microscopes. Try that with a 1200 baud modem. Not happening with near zero latency. You need the speed to 1) compete with other signals 2) pipe a large ammount of data.
No, they have become re-invented as Internet Gaming Centers. You know those places with computers you can only dream of affording, gigabit ethernet and shotgunned T1 lines and site liscences for all the latest games.
Yes, thats the modern arcade, and thats the place with the money to buy one or two of the 42" models and charge hourly to play.
Well, stuff like that has happened before. Look up any Child Porn bust. The way the US law works the crime is in posession, and EACH FILE is an infraction, so some large distributor with thousands of illicit files would have a indictment sheet that when placed before the judge breaks the bench.
my bad. I've been living with the feature full cell phone world so long I forgot there was such a thing as picture messaging on phones without cameras.
What are you talking about? The Nokia 3210 has a freakin camera. If you want an example take the LG 4010. My only gripe is that it isn't a world phone.
No, there really is a pretty terrible high school education in America. Those good for startups in and right out of highschool learn a lot on their own. They are fewer, and much more powerful, when they chose to shift the world it does.
While it may be a business, it isn't something like amazon. There are data being transfered, and when data are regulated, then other packets may be designated inferior. The fear that VoIP packets will be given priority service on home networks was mentionted on/. a few months ago. Whether or not Canada is trying to help this or prevent it is yet to be seen.
That will be payed off in a certain number of years depending on feul efficency over the non hybrid model and fluctuations in the cost of gassolene. The higher price for hybrids will also go down over time as they become more mass-produced. So wait a little before buying one, unless you must have bleeding edge driving technology.
And besides, there are all sorts of advantages to the redundancy the cards you already have will provide. Should something go bad, you'll have a back up, as well as a control set to compare against test results.
I'd say get a board with onboard components and maximise yoru use. 2 NICs is especially nice if you find your self in a situation that requires odd network topology and weird on box configurations.
No, it woudl still be base 2, because of the logic behind computing. We might represent multipule bits per electron, or even entire bytes, but Things would still in the end be base 2, spin up or spin down.
I doubt thats the correct figure, if you really wanted to get the Zscore you'd need the mean value of the US dollar per pound anually since it came into existance.
THEN we'd see how way the fuck out there 1.67 dollars do the pound is.

I RTFA'd AFTER posting, my bad. I thought I could have a first post, but I didn't notice having capslock on, and got owned.

I can ramdisk the internet. I just need a warehouse!

Of course, if you look out of x86 you can find plenty of just mother boards. Itanium2, Power, SPARC, Alpha...

Indeed That was bad humor.
