Hey! YOU try shooting down a mosquito with a.50 caliber machine gun some time and let me know how it goes. Who could have predicted the pesky rebels would resort to using FIGHTERS?!
Take a turbine with 3 150' blades with an average chord of 3%. That yields a cross sectional area of 3,025 sq. ft. if you include a 200' mast.
An average 10 story office building has a cross sectional area of around 11,000 sq. ft. So an office building has about 4 times more impact on "the environment" than a turbine. Do you see people wringing their hands about the effect of a 10 story building on atmospheric patterns?
Why the decline? Easy. Price.

Terminal Chaos
·
· Score: 1
The reasons for the meltdown in the air traffic system are complex. The book names a number of reasons for today's chaos. Some of these include airline deregulation, multiple governmental agencies with no central oversight or responsibility, multiple corporate entities with conflicting agendas, an air traffic controllers union resisting change, a technologically outdated air traffic control system, and more.
A round trip flight from NYC to LA in 1965 cost $220. That's $1,450 in 2007 dollars. Now that same flight runs $375.
The air travel industry and infrastructure is being run on a shoestring budget compared to the "glory days" of flying. You get what you pay for.
These geohashers (and anyone else who shows up unannounced on private property) are pretty much looking to become s statistic.
Geohashers do not go onto private property. From the original description: "When any coordinates generated by the Geohashing algorithm fall within a dangerous area, are inaccessible, or would require illegal trespass, DO NOT attempt to reach them." (emphasis mine). The usual procedure (as was followed in this case, if you read the description) is to meet on the closest public road to the coordinates generated.
This land-owner was overreacting to the presence of a large group of people on the public road close to their property, not to trespassers. The landowner was REACTING to the presence of a large group of people on a public road next to their property. I didn't see any overreaction indicated in that link. Is taking photographs illegal now?
You severely underestimate large corporations ability to talk (and bill) out of both sides of their mouthpieces. When you have the people who write laws in your pocket, you get to make the laws.
The big danger of going too fast was the compressor inlet temperature (CIT). That, more than anything else, was the limiting factor for speed.
For the SR-71, Mach 3.3 was the maximum allowable ("when authorized by the Commander"), providing CIT does not exceed 427 degrees C. Could probably go faster if you were willing to start melting things in the engines.
Also, the JT11 engine was not a ramjet, it was a bleed-bypass turbojet. The turbine was always spinning and burning some fuel, after Mach 2.0 or so the inlet guide vanes and the internal bleed air bypass system diverted some HP air around the core into the afterburner.
That's because ID is not a scientific theory. The theory of evolution is. It's like asking why they never discuss nihilism in a calculus class. Why would you?
The entire movie is a ham-fisted attack on science. They present no evidence for ID in the movie at all. It's about as objective as a Michael Moore movie.

Hey, a Hellfire or a Maverick is basically a UAV with a warhead. And they're not exactly state of the art tech anymore.

It's a good thing plastic isn't made out of something that's becoming more scarce and expensive by the day. :)
I dunno, my school's CS department didn't consider programming "optional". It was very heavy on actual programming for the first two years.
Hey, at least they understand their target audience.
I wonder how long until Fox and Friends starts getting sponsored by the letter "Q" and the number "4"?
God damn, I feel sick. Willful ignorance. I wonder what this douchenozzle would say if presented screenshots from EVE Online?
Out of curiosity has the distance from LA to NYC been decreasing every 18 months? Has the price of fuel been decreasing every 18 months?
Bad analogies are like... a drunk potato.

The energy extracted compared to the total energy in the system is so small it becomes moot.
I highly recommend BG Micro for finding parts www.bgmicro.com.
Their site is a little ghetto looking, but it's cheap and they've always had what I need for electronics tinkering.
So... you had two profiles both for yourself? You're doing it wrong.
It's basically a whole second account that is loosely tied to my main account.
Careful! You may have another flash of the blindingly obvious if you keep thinking!
Oh wait. THIS one goes in your mouth and THAT one goes in your butt.
No kidding, if you're going to shell out $5, why not spend $5 more own the movie?
I mean, the "Truck stop rental, no returns" model makes sense, but that's a pretty limited market, and truckers don't usually park at a Staples.
Are you saying Code Name: The Cleaner isn't quality cinema?

Wellington Grey sums it up nicely:
The Truth About Wireless Devices
People fear that which they don't understand. The news media doesn't understand ANYTHING. This leads to blind fear-mongering.
Not to mention domestic and feral housecats. They've been estimated to kill MILLIONS of birds annually.
A lot of studios have deals set up where developers get a royalty payment from the sales of the game.
When you're firing 100 rounds per second, 5 seconds is actually a fair amount of ammo.
The F-22 can carry both GBU-32 JDAMs and GBU-39 SDBs for "first day" air defense suppression in a future hot war.
Additionally, weapons such as the AGM-154 JSOW and AGM-158 JASSM will be used to kick down the door, so to speak.

All the loopy 6,000 year old Earth type hear when they read that is "Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawd put it there."
