The problem is that depending on the problem, a long starting period sometimes works. Maybe it's because the half-compression warms the heads up enough to start, or the engine cycling gets enough air in the throttle body to relieve the flooding enough to start. Or maybe the clogged injectors need extra time to put enough fuel in the cylinder for it to ignite (since clogged may not be fully atmoized and thus not all pass out when the exhaust stroke occurs.
Whatever the reason, since starting for a long tome works _sometimes_, and it's the easiest solution to try, many people continue to practice it. It's not stupidity, it basic psychology. I read that if you reinforce something every time, then not reinforcing the behavior leads to rapid disconnection of the behavior to the reward. If you reward the behavior partially (but frequently enough to form a connection), the behavior is much more persistent across negative results.
I call bullshit. Other than some GM vehicles that use hydraulic assist and an old centripetal design from Bently, most power brakes are vacuum assist. This is SPECIFICALLY FOR cases where the brake needs boost and the power failed for some reason. You can usually get ~2 pushes on the brake with full (then partial) assist before you lose power. The brake still work, just need to push harder.
Also, turning the key to "off" does not lock the wheel. Turning it to "Remove" locks the wheel. There are 3 positions for the key (plus starter).
Last (and less probable), depending on the car the acceleration of the engine may prevent the transmission from shifting if it if it has a manual connect or is electronically connected and the servo motor doesn't have the umph to shift in emergency situations. Also, if your ATF is overheating and boiling out the dipstick you may not have enough pressure to shift the tranny anyway.
The article also stated that Liam had to have a lot of protien, which makes sense if you are building excess muscle mass. Unfortunately your dream of converting Big Macs to bulging biceps is only 1/2 complete unless you can get extra beef rather than special sauce as part of your calorie intake. Empty calories alone probably aren't going to work.
Now then, your Whopper with a Protein Shake rather than that chocolate shake may do the trick. Beefcake. BeefCake! BEEEEEEF CAKE!
However, the price of fueling a small to medium sized vessel from Maine to Virginia or Virginia to Florida is about $10,000. Good luck getting it around Cape Horn (since Suez Canal Authority probably isn't going to like your private, armed ship coming through)
I have heard of this, but context is key. Open systems are "preferred" in acquisition, and my take is the Admiral is referring to operational use. Neither addresses NMCI, which is contracted directly by Congress and out of the Navy's hands with the exception of program management.
It will take many years for this to flow down, assuming the Admiral can beat on heads enough to make it happen. Programs won't toss out Microsoft is M$ can offer reduced rate consulting and development. Red Hat, et. al. can't do that because they make no revenue from the software. if the developmental PM staff get promoted before the overall life cycle cost hits, then the PM staff believes they have done their job and the cycle continues. Press Releases are not requirements.

Certain OEM Vista versions includes a new clause in the EULA requiring the entire product (computer, etc.) to be returned. You cannot simply disagree with the EULA and ask to return the software.

It is easier to dodge something coming at you from the front than from behind. If you are going faster than the other traffic, this becomes true (until your speed difference compared to the other traffic becomes significant).
BGAN is your answer. Satellite internet via INMARSAT. Not cheap, but it works (and more importantly works for your specific application). You probably won't want to leave it mounted outside while you are not on the deck and will need to fine a creative way to power it (I believe it is 24V DC or can be powered with a 24V DC power source--probably not a lot of plugs on the weather decks...)
a) Enough water has to come in the tube's end to keep the force increasing b) The water itself will have friction against the wall of the tube. c) The air will be denser at the bottom of the tube (though not nearly as much as the water d) The water surface tension will rob some power at the "release" point without some forethought e) The tube at the bottom would have to be massive to keep out the force of miles of ocean pushing down, plus miles of the building material also pushing down (this may be counterable with tube floaties).
I also want to say something happens when a stream of water is impacting air at a speed faster than sound. but I'm not sure about that.
I think a tube that collapses from the bottom up as the projectile gains speed could work nicely
This is very true. I have a PPC that was hosting services that were public acessable. A recent apt-get update/upgrade blew the system, as it literally updated everything (including glibc, gcc, g++...apparently if the list of changes are over a certain length they don't always come up in the verification dialog). As a result, some very critical things broke (one being dselect/dpkg after it uninstalled apache, the other being gzip so that further updates cannot be retreived). Before, debian had been very very stable. Now, I can't tell what the hell is going on, except that most of the services are down
Actually, temperature is a quantum dynamical effect and is not related to molecular vibration (at least not 100%).
I learned this the hard way after failing homework that used that as an explanation for why a solid-solid diffusion process occurs more frequently at high temperatures
Interesting, I didn't know the heat radiation factor was also related to the surface properties of the object in question. I assumed that the differences in heat radiated came from the higher amounts of heat absorbed. In other words, not all objects reached the same temperature during the day regardless of time of sun exposure. I figured this was justified since the temperature of the object is radiative heat absorbed - conductive heat removed by moving air. Ar night things would radiate heat based on how much hotter/cooler they were due to solar heating/reflecting.
Right. I just left a post on this up there somewhere. Basically if you have weapons systems that exceeds line of sight in all directions, your effective engagement size (size of what you see in the crosshairs) is very,very small. Anything closer & not friendly gets turned into flaming scrap metal and liquified bits of organic matter.
Given the size of it, you could probably mount a Navy CIWS Phalnax system on it to prevent missles. The advantage of large is that you are much less limited in terms of how you're going to defend it and amount of ammunition needed to defend it. Since we now have systems that can hit targets before visual contact is made, the effective engagement "size" of the airship is a dot on the horizon at best. This didn't exist in WWI, so the target was easy to drop. Armed with CIWS and some AMRAAM launchers effective converts it into an aerial Aegis cruisesr. It would also have on heck of a loiter time, making it a natural replacement for the C-130 Spooky (in addition to a cargo hauler).
Probably the worst enemy of the ship is small ground based artillery (non-missle)
What the mirrors do is effectively put "empty sky / empty space" all the way around the container. The container continues to radiate heat, but the mirror blocks any heat coming from the ground and other surroundings. The mirror itself gives off almost zero infra-red. What happens is that the mirror only reflects any infra-red coming from empty space onto the container. Empty space is really cold, so almost no infra-red heat gets reflected onto the container.
If this was the case, the wouldn't mirrors be constantly below freezing?

Well, technically any language that doesn need a CR and/or LF to denote a new instruction/command you can write any program in 4 lines...
Oh, sure, you go ahead and ponder that theory.... FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION!
The problem here is that
a) Enough water has to come in the tube's end to keep the force increasing
b) The water itself will have friction against the wall of the tube.
c) The air will be denser at the bottom of the tube (though not nearly as much as the water
d) The water surface tension will rob some power at the "release" point without some forethought
e) The tube at the bottom would have to be massive to keep out the force of miles of ocean pushing down, plus miles of the building material also pushing down (this may be counterable with tube floaties).

He is correct that water is a greenhouse gas:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas.
The advantage is that the atmosphere can only hold a limited amount. When there's too much of it, it precipitates out of the atmosphere (unlike CO2).
