Congratulations, you only missed being first to point this out by 30 minutes! You missed second or 3rd 28 minutes, 4th by 10 minutes, and 5th by 5 minutes.
You could try using the igniters used in model rocketry instead of depending on a spark. They come cheap and are available at almost any hobby shop. They require only a low voltage current to ignite, if I remember correctly.
Should be easy to burn a few to determine average timing delay, and then set up a timing script to control the display.
Although I would definintely recommend going the professional route if you have any doubts at all of your competencies.
True, but they could haul up 20,000 1-lb buckets of concrete, or maybe 840-ish 1-gallon buckets of water and 13,330-ish 1-lb bags of lime and a 200-lb mixing bowl.
This is actually how mines and torpedos work (non-contact mines and torpedos) - the explosion creates a large bubble a few meters under the hull. When the bubble gets to the ship, there's no water supporting the hull so it falls into the hole and breaks in half.
Watch this video - you can see the bubble coming up under the ship, and the ship flexing as it falls into the hole.
You are correct that the vehicle does not have to be travelling at supersonic speeds to cause the cloud to form. You are also correct that it is the return of the air to its previous pressure and temperature that causes the cloud to evaporate. You are incorrect in that the shock wave has nothing to do with it - the shock wave greatly accelerates this state change, giving us the clean sharp termination of the cloud.
If you read the page, you will see that even at subsonic speeds variations in the surface can result in transonic flow, which in turn results in a terminating shock wave.
I don't want to quote the entire discussion here, but the page clearly states that subsonic clouds may be amplified by the prandtl-glauert singularity, but will not be cleanly terminated (see this image for reference). The sharply defined cone (which is, I believe, what the original question was about) only appears when transonic flow is in play. In this case, it is the shock wave that causes the clean termination of the cloud.
The first link about prandtl-glauert clouds explains it better than I can, but the summary answer is that the shock wave actually follows the cloud, not precedes it, and it is the shock wave that rapidly reheats the air.
Picking up your pieces and moving them has no real bearing on gameplay. The entire game could be represented in two dimensions (not counting time) with no loss of playability.
I'm betting that a good bit of the well-informed AC's on this thread actually do hold clearances, and rather high ones at that. The GP of this post wasn't an AC, though, and almost certainly his post describes himself perfectly.
Same story... 2 daughters, don't want more.... The chems in the pill can really F**k up a woman's head - life is SOOOOOO much better with her off the pill.
Definitely the best choice you can make if you've had a few already and know you don't want more. Doesn't hurt that bad either.
Not sure if it's the same issue that the GP is referring to, but I just got $800 refunded to me for the new tires I had to buy for my Toyota Sienna, along with coverage of those same tires for the next 3 years... Seems like a good benefit to me.
Of course, what you CAN'T do is register to vote in both of the leading party's primaries.
For the past several elections, I have voted third-party because I was not satisified with either of the big party candidates. Had the Republicans put forth McCain in the most recent election, I might have considered voted Republican. Had the Democrats put forth pretty much anyone else, I might have considered voting Democrat.
I realize that this opens the door for hard-core members of party A to deliberately vote for a bad candidate in party B's primary, and that because of this we will never see open primaries.
Another thing that needs to happen is to allow more than just the two established big parties onto the ballots. I forget which state it is - Colorado, maybe? - that by law only allows one Republican candidate and one Democrat candidate on the presidential ballot. This is completely inappropriate, possibly even unconstitutional.
Slashdot Mirror
Way to be able to tell the difference between a dupe and a non-dupe. I know this is slashdot and all, but you could at least read the summary(ies).
Sorry about your impending Redundant moderation.
ROFLMAO!!! Oh how I wish I could mod you up...
Eh, someone beat me to it. Oh well.

RTFA - Yahoo checked with MS, MS said "no templates provided".
I tried to go see the tornado damage in London, but apparently the resolution is extremely low - at the multinational zoom level, if you will.

It's the latest in prison colonies... the "Land Up Over"
Anyone wanna contact Men at Work and see if they're up for a sequel?

Didn't see this post before I made mine. Glad to see I'm not the only one who thought this way.
Actually checkers would only be 3D - there's no vertical dimension in play, really.
Are you sure there's a wall? We could just keep accelerating and eventually exceed escape velocity....

I'm glad to see that someone else understands the issues I was tryng to point out.
Actually, it's quite easy - if it is not obvious that they do need to know, then they don't!
This seems like they're skipping steps 2 and 3 all together. Now anyone with clearance can find out anything they want? Seems fishy to me...
For anyone who's interested, I found a link for it here, although it doesn't seem to be working, at least not from my job.
If anyone does find a working link, share with us please?

RTFA and watch the video more closely - there are four "fingers", arranged radially, with each pair in opposition. Where's the problem?
