I'd tend to agree with you, if one of you was going to go up with the balloon, but once it's released it ceases to be 'in the public domain', so to speak. After all, the gov'mint are trying their best to encourage you to put the stuff in your cars. Which to me, seeing as how some people drive, never seemed to be a good idea. Historically speaking, town gas used to have a high proportion of hydrogen, which made it lighter than air. And while a few houses spontaneously disassembled themselves, an awful lot didn't. Much as they do now, with the heavier than air 'Natural' gas. All it takes is a bit more care on the launch pad, and you can use a much smaller balloon, or carry a much bigger payload
The answer to icing is simple. You slip a closed ended light sleeve over the rod in front of the aircraft and another shorter one between the suspension bushes. Any icing will be on the outside of the sleeve, where it doesn't matter. These fall away as the the aircraft clears the rod. But I still think that you should dispense with the aluminium plate set athwart the frame and replace it with one running lengthwise. The impingement of the exhaust stream on this plate could do do some strange things to the attitude of the truss before the aircraft has cleared the end of the rod. Particularly when the leading bush has cleared , and the trailing bush is still engaged
You might want to dispense with the aluminium plate. The jet thrust impinging on the plate might push the payload on its suspension cable into an unstable oscillation before the plane has had time to accelerate clear of the guide rail. Instead put a collar on the guide rail for the plane to rest against.. Or turn the aluminium plate until it's edge on to the the rocket exhaust
At last a nation with some common sense. Of course chatting on the phone is distracting, but so is talking to the passengers, ogling young ladies walking down the road, looking at road signs, listening to the radio, twiddling with the radio, thinking about the excuse that you're going to present to the wife for getting home late. If the people that elect you are not going to take any notice of you why bother.
Er, if you're going to ignite the rocket motor inside an evacuated steel tube, what are you going to do with the exhaust gas from the motor? Sounds like you've made quite a nice little bomb, there. A millisecond or so after ignition the chamber is going to be a long, long way from a vacuum.
Re-Re: "...which has trawled through some old shipyard records..."
Actually, there is nothing wrong with rivetting. Aircraft are still largely held together by rivets. Welding turned out to be so much cheaper. As to the lack of xray cystallography, drilling holes in sheet steel imparts no inherent weakening, unlike welding. As the number of Liberty ships that broke up on their first (and last ) voyage testified
73 is rather like 42, the answer to the meaning of life and everything. It has to be seen in context. So what is 73 as a proportion of ALL the number of exchanges that will have to be upgraded. Then I'll know whether I'll have to enter a pact with The Devil to ensure that I'm still around when the update comes
Dabs wouldn't need to make anyone redundant if they only traded as they used to. I used to buy principally from Dabs, but now I've given up even looking at their site, since they never seem to have any stock of the stuff I want to buy, and at the price I want to pay for it.
Well, it wasn't fixed for me.Neither the early patch, nor the ICS download. So mines 'Return to Sender' until I have definite, beyond doubt, that it's fixed. Pity, it was a very pretty piece of kit
Nice to see that nuclear is receiving some attention. However NERVA, I think was seen at the time to have shortcomings that would affect scalability and continuous development. A much more elegant and effective thruster was the DUMBO reactor. Having said all that, the end result of all this new enthusiasm will very likely end up like the UK Nuclear Energy Proposals and result in endless talk and absolutely no action.
That's odd! It sounds just like the launcher on my KDE setup. I'm sure it's been there for years. Are they going to add right click on any open area to get the opportunity to close the thing down?
I bought the Prime because I was so impressed with it's earlier brother. The GPS function on that was superb. It would locate and lock to satellites faster than my dedicated GPS unit. Not so for the Prime. It suffered the seemingly common problem of not finding anything. The update to ICS was supposed to solve the problem, and didn't. A further update didn't either. Whilst I don't use the GPS system often, if it's there, I want it to work. I've now sent it back for a refund, and will try again later when it's definitely fixed. Comparing the two devices on a strictly cosmetic basis, I reckon that the old unit is far, far nicer, both in look and feel Aluminium has never struck me as a visually attractive metal. To me, the iPad has all the visual attraction of a rectangular frying pan, and I like the dark, warm look and feel of the textured finish on the old unit. Clove might be a good indicator. When they start selling them again it should be a sure sign that the problem has gone away.
An odd thing. Since the GPS satellite signal is from overhead, how does a metal BACK to the unit hinder the signal?.
Wow, 3000 sensor buoys! At a quick calculation from the total sea area, that works out at one buoy for every 120,000 square kilometers. I hope they've placed them wisely.. And all the way back to 2003. With such a huge time base they should get really meaningful results. Or am I getting a bit skeptical?
It beats me why anyone, on any platform would want to check the Met Office for weather. Aside from the display getting worse and worse, as they dumb it down, you're better off by looking out of the window. There are scads more weather forecasters out there who all seem to give more accurate and more meaningful forecasts than the Met office. Personally I get my forecasts from yr.no, and if Norway can give more accurate forecasts that the met office, we should close them down and save ourselves the money.
As the owner of an iPad and an Asus Transformer. The Asus beats the iPad hands down on looks Where Tony Smith comes from in calling it ugly, I've no idea. I've seen aluminium frying pans with more style than the iPad. Anything principally made of plain, uncoloured aluminium is going to look cheap. I'm not even sure that Asus have made the right choice in having a metallic finish case on the new Prime. I think that the textured black coffee coloured case contrasts beautifully with the metal bezel on the original Transformer.
In the light of what is happening in this country (UK), can we have the British Government labelled as a "Repressive Regime", and have them banned from buying surveillance software? No? Thought not. The whole thing about repressive is that "we do what we like and you do what we tell you"
I could never understand why the fuss, . since the whole of your digestive system is stuffed with bacteria. I once read that 40% of what you excrete is bacteria. What can be the harm in sending the stuff round for a second trip. So long as it's your particular mix of bacteria, that is. No other animal seems to give a damn. Are we some sort of alien on this planet?
I suppose that all this would be relevant if you could call working in an office, working. Which I don't. Working is doing something useful and adding value. 'working' in an office is purely adding cost, and at best is merely assisting those who are adding value.
Seems a hell of a price for a piss poor CAD system, and this is just the 'lite' version. Having been a draughtsman for most of my working life, I was appalled at the quality, as a draughting tool, that Autocad was compared to a real piece of CAD software. Rather like Microsoft, its appeal was more to the buyers in big companies, than to the people using it, which led to it's almost universal acceptance as the de-facto standard, rather than any quality as a practical piece of software. A factor, which all too often rules what is accepted in the workplace.
Wow! 50m for the whole of Wales, while single counties in England get the same. This is bringing Wales to the forefront of high speed broadband. I should coco.
This has all the logic of reducing unemployment by hiring thousands of men to dig holes. Then hiring thousands more to fill them in again. Arranging the work parties in a gigantic circle works wonders for increasing the efficiency of the system, and saving money.
If you can just state that emissions, or anything else, costs money, without justification. Then there's no limit to the amount of tax you can levy. And of course it's not your fault when your industry is priced out of the markets and your economy collapses
It's not the colder winters that are the problem. Lots of places have far colder winters than Britain. The problem is the reduction in the length of the growing season. A reduction in this leads to less food coming out of the land. In the Maunder Minimum, this led to starvation and an economic downturn.
The bloody teabag was the death of proper tea. The stuff you could tell your fortune in when you got to the bottom of the cup. It was a triumph for the tea industry in that they could now sell the 'dust' that they previously had to throw away. (They didn't throw it away, of course, they just sold it in a less discriminating market). Unfortunately, the demand for these bloody teabags dominated sales, so you no longer can get from the 'proper' loose tea unless you pay an enormous markup, and the loose tea now sold is simply the rubbish 'dust' but without the paper bag. I personally, still use loose tea, but instead of the traditional pot, now make it in a coffee filter machine, and get as near as possible to the proper 'cuppa'. It comes in a pot, but without the irritating dust carry over. Pity about the fortune telling bit, though
How on earth did they manage to trade mark Ultra Violet? I'm sure that it's been in the Public Domain for years. Or is it that all you have to do is leave out the space?
I'm sure that the average Joe would have a lot more apps on his device if the App Store only had a user friendly search and presentation. I for one am fed up with searching through several thousand apps for the one I think might be the one I'm looking for. If it isn't, then, it's back to square one
It's all in proportionality. Something which is large can be thicker without seeming out of proportion, and hence be still attractive. But weight is something else again.
I stand entirely behind my earlier post. Siemens have saturated, to excess, their own domestic market, and see Britain as the next mug in the Renewables Scam. The article states that the plant is for ASSEMBLY. Which means that the components are manufactured elsewhere, and where better than their own manufacturing plants. In this scenario, assembly is a cost, not value added. As usual, the taxpayer is picking up a large part of the required investment, and that means me. To produce power at a higher price to the consumer, and that means me again.
I think the key word here is 'assembly''. This is not a factory for actually MAKING the things, merely bolting together bits made elsewhere. So there is no gain whatsoever to British Industry. This is what Britain used to do the Far East part of The Empire. Make the goods here, ship them out to the user country (Takes less shipping space, broken down. ) and re-assemble them. No real skills required, and cost savings on the way. Just another indication of our transition into a coolie country.
A visit from the police is likely to be the least of her worries. The next visit will be from the Green Police, who will want to speak to her about her excessive carbon dioxide emissions.
The author of this article must be fairly late into the computer world. Microsoft has never been known for it's content creation. On the whole, virtually all of MS's offerings have been copied from earlier works. And that includes all of the Office suite. Their strong point is waiting until the product is fully developed and the market established and then wading in with a mass appeal to the corporate market. The areas where MS has conspicuously failed have been areas where they tried to lead the development.
Blackberry may well have taught a generation 'thumb typing' but an earlier generation learned the art on the Psion 3 series of machines (and I was one of them)
I'd like to know why they discontinued development of the X33 linear aerospike motor. It seemed to have all the right answers. for an uncomplicated rocket motor
Unfortunately, experience has shown that the usual result of downsizing has been to eliminate the expertise and core functions and to retain only the fat cats with their stupid big salaries.
Recalling a period, many years ago, when I made model aircraft. The technique for applying the skin, was to glue it on DRY, then moisten it to shrink it. The application of dope, then was to increase it's resistance to impact damage. Well, minor impact damage, anyway. It may well be that skinning wet implies too much shrinkage.
Forget the geekiness. The reason why most children don't like the subject is that it's 'hard'. Along with the other 'hard' subjects, Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and most of the other science subjects, it's hard to gain experience and the results are not the subject of opinion, so you cannot put in some rubbish as your work and claim that it's significant. If you write a program, it either works or it doesn't, and it's faults are only too apparent.
At last a group with common sense. The whole late progress of the human race has been a progression through stages of greater power use, in the quest for a better life, at no greater cost in man sourced power. They ought to promote these guys to the top of their profession
Ah, at last an article which spells it all out in plain language, explaining how things work, and why you should take such and such action. Rather than the usual "do as I say, I'm an expert"
I'd like to point out that what we're seeing here is the final nail in the coffin of democracy. Democratic Governance, or democracy is the process where the electorate in a particular area elect a representative to look after their interests and express their voice in an assembly of such representatives. That's it, an individual selected to represent the mass. The fact that the representatives have decided to form cliques, or parties to enhance their power ( and with that power, the ability to force through policies which display no logical grounds for acceptance). The formation of the party system can be seen as a form of corruption of the democratic process, The fact that the electorate no longer pick a representative to be part of the governing body, but pick someone who has been picked by a separate unrepresentative group who have no concern whatsoever for the local electorate, is simply another corruption of the system of Democracy.
You can't be serious in quoting from that rubbish, pseudo-science rag, the new Scientist, surely? They're wrong so many times, and have such a biased outlook, that for the truth, it's better to read it carefully and then accept the opposite point of view without reservations.
