Actually, that's the opposite. A vortex is not exactly turbulent flow.
Also, a vortex generated above the wing can delay separation of the flow from the upper surface of the wing. As I said before, the separation of flow from the upper surface of the wing is a stall. So, a vortex is NOT a stall.
You sure about that? A stall is a condition in which the airflow over the wing becomes turbulent and separates from the upper surface of the wing. That destroys lift until the smooth airflow is restored.
To say that the F-22 is in a controlled stall is just ridiculous. The proper way to state things is that the F-22 has relaxed static stability, which has nothing to do with a stall.
You are quite correct in that most problems that affect the country are not the fault of the President.
However, our kiss ass politicians see fit to run on platforms such as "family values", "drug-free america", or "jobs for everybody". Obviously, these are feel good platforms. If two lesbians get married, nobody is going to blame a Republican president for a failure of his adminstration's family values policy. If Bob at the factory gets busted for smoking pot on his lunch break, the finger will NOT be pointed at the adminstration's drug free America policy. Politicians can gain but never lose by such posturing.
So, I don't feel a bit bad that someone is pointing the finger at a politician. He promised us good times, thinking that nobody would hold him accountable for bad times. Nobody is saying that he's the ONLY one responsible. But as the current President he's got to explain the actions of the government. He can't say "it's not my fault" because that's just an excuse. All that matters is how he fixes the problem.
I'm a bit surprised that no one has mentioned this, but you can build your own telescope for less money than you can buy one!!
It probably hasn't been mentioned because it's not really true anymore. Used to be, but now you can pick up a 10 inch dob with good optics for 450 bucks.
But you're right, grinding your own mirrors is a great geek project.
'A novice asked the master: "I perceive that one computer company is much larger than all others. It towers above its competition like a giant among dwarfs. Any one of its divisions could comprise an entire business. Why is this so?"
The master replied, "Why do you ask such foolish questions? That company is large because it is large. If it only made hardware, nobody would buy it. If it only made software, nobody would use it. If it only maintained systems, people would treat it like a servant. But because it combines all of these things, people think it one of the gods! By not seeking to strive, it conquers without effort."'
The farm equipment is usually diesel, and that can run on biodiesel too.
Anyway, these carbons in the fuel are the good carbons. They are the ones that were floating around the atmosphere just last year. The bad carbons are the ones that were floating around 50 million years ago.
We can burn all the fuel we want if we burn the kind that is made from carbons that were floating around last year.
A thousand years from now, some unknown nation of humans will revere the ancients, just as we revere the ancients. They will discover that the ancient and traditional food of pop-tarts have some very obscure health benefits, and will assume that we were a wise people.
I think that for a one month period, sometime this year, all anti-spammers and ISP's around the globe should suspend any activities that they are currently undertaking to supress spam.
The judge in this case said that spam is not much of a problem. I think that's his honest perception, because he doesn't see the full magnitude of the problem. By suspending all anti-spam activities, the full weight of the spam problem will become known by all.
I propose that the month of September be set aside for this purpose this year.
I've got a TiVo. And you know what? There's really nothing that I want to record, except for Wednesday night's episode of Enterprise. The other hours of the week are basically a waste.
Certainly you can't sell USED stuff and then buy NEW stuff in England. If you're selling USED stuff in the US, then you're going to have to get USED stuff in England. I bet you could come pretty close.
Next time a defective product blows your head off or otherwise maims you, I'll be the one standing by laughing. I expect you'll approve of it too. After all, the reason you hurt yourself when something you were using hurt you through no fault of your own is because you were stupid.
GM has a long history of making really sweet concept cars, but by the time they are actually produced, somehow they get turned into "your father's Oldsmobile." For example, compare the Olds Alero concept with the production model. See what I mean? All these nice ideas that GM engineers are teasing us with will not come to pass. They're going to make an ugly SUV out of it by the time it gets to us. Leave it to another company to turn the concept into the actual production car without pandering to the lowest common denominator.
Turn all of it into something easier to carry, such as money. A garage sale is your best bet, or even E-bay. If you're sentimental about a 900 lb. antique wardrobe or something like that, then give it to a dear friend or relative who will keep it for you. When you get to England, you can turn all that money back into all the stuff that you want.
The UP doesn't have much cable. People heat their cabins and homes with propane, delivered by truck, because gas lines don't go everywhere. Electricity is too expensive. It can be 20 miles drive to the nearest town, and when you get there, the sign says "Winnemanachaktah, population: 57". The only store in town is a 1 pump gas station (not a digital one) with a few necessities for sale. The real store is the Red Owl grocery 50 miles away in Ontanagon. Heavy traffic on the way to work means that it took you an hour to drive to the state forest where you work as a ranger instead of 45 minutes, because a Winnebago with Illinois plates was driving 45. Everybody says "Eh" after questions, but they aren't Canadian. Everyone can tell you exactly what they were doing when they heard the Fitzgerald went down, and everyone knows the words to the Lightfoot ballad "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald."
Anyway, the UP of Michigan is a wonderful place, with a long history of shipping, copper mining, logging, hunting, fishing, and other manly man sorts of things. I grew up in Michigan, and loved to go camping up there whenever I could get the chance. My favorite part is the Keewenaw Penninsula, especially the old British fort with the palisade fence at Copper Harbor.
My BS detector is going off. Can I have a citation please? I can believe that bases can assemble into random DNA strands, but a functional virus would require a selection mechanism to assemble, either natural selection like all the other viruses, or artificial selection. Oh yeah, I almost forgot: this article also points out deliberate assembly as another mechanism. But I have a hard time believing random assembly.
That's only single blind. You also need a hacker to hack your computer who does not know he is hacking your computer. Gotta do that study the scientific way.

If one does not compete, then one cannot lose.
From the Tao of Programming, Book 8.1:
'A novice asked the master: "I perceive that one computer company is much larger than all others. It towers above its competition like a giant among dwarfs. Any one of its divisions could comprise an entire business. Why is this so?"
The master replied, "Why do you ask such foolish questions? That company is large because it is large. If it only made hardware, nobody would buy it. If it only made software, nobody would use it.

Get out your modems, and install uucp on your boxes! I have a feeling that the collapse of the Internet backbones is going to be a wonderful thing.
less bandwidth means:
-less spam
-web designers won't use flash anymore
-companies will realize that the Internet is NOT a good place to do marketing

Very nice explanation, thanks.

And I've always been confused when people measure airconditioning by weight. What is a ton of air conditioning?
Perhaps now I should mention that at my house I have 73 degrees of lawn in front, and 82 degrees in back.
Could that be the elusive way to save a realplayer video stream (without the sound)?

I'll take one of those ads on my headstone in a heartbeat. Rather, lack of heartbeat.
This comment I wrote over two years ago says the same thing. Should I bring my boot down on their head for stealing my idea?
