Thats not why electric cars can have such quick starts. Its one of the benifets of the electric motor. An electric motor has 100% of its available torque from a dead stop. But the same amount of torque at any speed. Thats why their top speeds generally arent tooo high, unless you do fancy transmission stuff (doesnt really need to be fancy just needs to be there haha.) But its that torque thing that allows such amazing 0-60 times from low horsepower.
Not sure about the border thing. Sounds somewhat right, tho i can name a good few really big cities farther than that.
Either way, there is a wired dish, and a non wire mesh dish, with the same gain. Are the icing issures you're talking about affecting the feed horn? temp. cycle warping?
Oh wow, thats cool. Totally different than here in canada. Here there is only 3 classes. Basic, advanced, and the 12WPM. I just wrote my basic and advanced in 1 sitting. I'm and EE so it wasnt too hard. Morse on the other hand will take a good while to learn i think. All the 5WPM morse gives you tho is access to all the really low CW frequencies. Ill get it, just later.
I dunno. Im 21 and I just decided to become a ham, so I wrote the basic and advanced test. (I'm an EE, its all basic to me;) ) My 21 year old friend got me into it. Many of the other people I met are young. CB is totally dead, at least here in canada. Its all VHF now.
There are much better solutions. While a pringles can and cantenna might work, assumng you put it right in the focal point, build the cantenna right, and can find the dish, this might be a better way to go:
Its a 24dB gain antenna (Thats 256 times power folks), its guaranteed to work, it HAS a feedhorn, and all the calculations have been done for you. Not only that, its a grid antenna so there is almost no wind loading. You might pay 50bux or more for a primestar dish on ebay, plus trying to get the can into the focal point, etc. There is certainly a certain apeal in doing it yourself, but sometimes work for the sake of work is no fun at all.
The best thing? Its only 70 bux, WITH the feedhorn and pigtail.
Right now im using one of those, and two 10 foot C-band dishes to make a big triangle network connection. The C-band to C-band dish connection is over 30km long. (Yea I'm in Canada: 30 kilometers = 18.6411358 miles)
I find the one made by americans much funnier. The one above was made by german hackers kind of in response to the american one. (Nothing against germans, or even for americans..I just find the american one more funny)

The mx700 mouse has to be the best thing to hit mousing since..maybe ever.
I 100% guarantee that you cant tell the difference between it and a corded mouse, except for the weight of a couple double a's. It refreshes 125 times a second..the same as your usb port. Its as if there is a cord connecting it, wihtout beeing cumbersome.
It also has a recharge station like a cordless phone. If you buy some 1800mAh duracell or energizers to go with it, it will never go dead. A 6 hour charge will go for 20 hours of battery life. Thats like 3 days of use even for a frequent user. This mouse is amazing, i simply cant say enough about it.
I was very skeptical about the smoothness, but, its identical to the mx500, their top end corded mouse.
The only bad thing about it, is aparently their mouseware drivers arent that good. But reading boards, i see they just released a new version which is supposed to solve all the problems of the pervious ones.
Either way, DEFINATLY worth a try.
Especially if you do what i did to try it out..buy from one of those places that lets you return it within 7 or thirty days..money back.
Actually, unfortunatly for you, carpal tunnel isnt from wrist movement. Its from thumb and finger movement. When your fingers move, its your tendons pulling then to go up and down. Those tendons have to slide through an area in your wrist. When they get swolen from too much movement over the years, you get carpal tunnel syndrome.
It's actually funny. Recently hotmail seems to have improved their junk mail by 100x. I am getting no more junk mails in my inbox, and no more false positives in the junk mail folder.
Something really changed I think. Before most of the junk mail was going to my inbox, and usually one or two junk mails, plus a false positive were in the junk mail box.
Tho its kind of obvious, i think its an important thing. So maybe mod the parent up a bit:)
Because thats exactly what would happen. They would find out someone cheated and even if the telemarketers dont say anything, the govt might just thow the whole thing down the tubes.
Already our processors are dissipating a serious amount of heat. This heat is developed only during the switching time.
Picture a cpu clock:
_|-|_|-|_|-|_
Haha, something like that. Anyways, the heat is only developed during the vertical bars of that clock. (Because the vertical bars arent perfectly vertical in the real world and that P(heat)=VI. During the horizontal bars, only V or I are present, so no power, ie: no heat)
I dont exactly know how this ternary or quaternary computing works, but if its forcing the transistor to work in stages between full off and full on (1 and 0), you will be increasing the heat output by your cpu exponentially.
Correct me if im wrong on this, but maybe we'll really need those diamond semiconductors to make this feasable for high computing power applications.

JUST in time! Thank god!

hm, this is a dish ive used in the snow and sleet for ten years for satalite tv reception
either way, i havent gone thru a winter yet, sooo
we'll see i guess
rust is definatly a non-issue or this dish would have rusted away long ago

That or use fluid ounces.
Actually, the world DOES revolve around SI units. Just not the usa. The usa isnt the world rememeber.
And, while its annoying, im sure the defense would have a case in saying the world standard for the prefix giga means x10^9.

sounds reliable to me!

Alllllright, I already HAVE a beowulf cluster of these!

ha i do have one..i have several..but i use hotmail for sign-ups..would be nice if i dindt have to log in just to check it tho.
Is it possible to do this from my Mozilla mail?
It would be a great help, I hate fuckin with hotmail.
It's actually funny. Recently hotmail seems to have improved their junk mail by 100x. I am getting no more junk mails in my inbox, and no more false positives in the junk mail folder.

Don't know what you did but thanks hotmail.
I never really understood cleartype.
It just seems to make the screen a touch blurry on my laptop.
So i just use the regular AA for text
How anonymous is it? What if someone does something illegal. Do they have to turn over records? Do they even keep records?
Or is it just anonymous for people that dont want their browsing habbits known.. ?
Tho its kind of obvious, i think its an important thing. So maybe mod the parent up a bit:)
Because thats exactly what would happen. They would find out someone cheated and even if the telemarketers dont say anything, the govt might just thow the whole thing down the tubes.
Careful.
Careful with that joke..its an antique ;)
I -like- those odds!
