  1. One of my hard drives has no space on it, which is fine, the problem is windows keeps trying to free space up on it by doing some program that continuously pops up in the system tray. Is there a way i can kill it forever as its driving me mad. edit this is the bastard:
  2. ive got a zen xtra kicking around somewhere, only use it when i go on holiday and want loads of music. Use my phone for all other portable music needs.
  3. Does anyone actually know a text message number for the club? Does one even exist? Or has he just been viewing the chronicles stuff?
  4. Well done the both of you. I've got a final stage interview in two weeks, hopefully i'll get something from that. Down side of that job is that its in Reading.
  5. At the front of the gallowgate middle tier, in line with the right side 18 yd line
  6. I'll be about for some part of the day. Depends on my busy schedule as an unemployed former student.
  7. 5'10 and 11 stone You're all fat bassas tbh.
  8. I think if bellamy stayed we'd probably still have Souness here, and have finished several places lower in the league then we have. Souness falling out with bellamy in effect sign his own death warrent as we have lacked alot upfront this season, mostly due to owen being crocked. But given the choice of bellamy and souness or neither of them. I'd take neither.
  9. So the car would be held back, wheels spinning and producing plumes of smoke? Held back by a lad on rollerskates? 135667[/snapback] yep thats 100% correct. the rollerskater on treadmill becomes in effect the unmovable object. The whole thing couldn't happen in real life, but under the logic of the question thats what happens.
  10. Doesn't matter. The force is moving the plane, not the wheels. 135628[/snapback] The force is transmitted through the wheels where there is an equally sized opposite force from the treadmill. hence no motion. To use your bloke on rollerskates analogy. They are at steady state (rollerskates going matching treadmill speed hence no motion). Then you give him a push and extra momentum hence the speed of his wheels increases. The question stated that this increase would be matched by an increase in treadmill speed hence no forward motion. 135632[/snapback] So you're saying I couldn't extend my arms and move the skater forward? what force is stopping me like? 135634[/snapback] The speed of the skaters wheels is always matched by the speed of the treadmill. Any force you apply to him, the treadmill immediately counteracts. so if you got in a car tied a rope around him and drove off he still wouldnt move (assuming no mechanical failures and the only way for him to move is via his wheels as is the case in a plane on a runway) as while his wheels are going crazy fast, the treadmill is going crazy fast in the other direction. Heres an Ocelow for the rest of you, dont think this is quite the same tigon and liger mind...

  12. FFS. THe question stated that the treadmill would ALWAYS match the wheel speed. so no forward motion.
  13. Yep, you can buy a pay as you go sim card for about £5 from a suprsingly large number of shops. With all networks except 3 the credit on the phones has no expiry date either.
  14. Saw the headline on .com and thought it hadn't been. Guess thats what i get for not reading the article... Was never a red, just aswell we won, or fat fred would be writing a letter to the FA to get the game replayed.
  15. You don't have too. It's MS looking for extra business with a thing called "annoyware". I just shut down all the warnings and told it not to bother me again. Its in the preferences on the thing telling you your copy is fake. The only thing it does it prevent you from downloading updates from the MS website, i do believe that the auto-updater still works fine though.
  16. In Portugal no doubt....
  17. I can see what you are saying. The engines suck the air over the wings. However this would create "hotspots" and not a uniform lift as the majority of the wing would not have any lift. Also its very dependent on the location of the engines. The ideal location being exactly in the middle of the wing, which is never the case as they are almost always located beneath them. This means the only air flow is under the wing and none above. Now in order to determine the pressure underneath depends on the speed of the air. Now you have to look into the compressable flow equations. Now assuming mach 0.999 airspeed through the engine this give a pressure of about 0.55atm below the wing compared to 1atm above. And hence no lift and the plane is infact forced to the ground 133333[/snapback] Actually, it's a trick question, there is no possible "yes" or "no" answer, because the question is illogical. I just thought I'd play devil's advocate Basically, for the plane to move forward the wheels must be moving faster than the conveyor, yeah? But for the plane to move from it's station-holding position on the conveyor, as the thrust is applied to the engine, the wheels must turn quicker for it to develop forward motion. And according to the initial question, the conveyor will instantly match the speed of the wheels. And that's the sticking point. As soon as the conveyor belt increases speed to match the plane's wheel speed, the plane's wheel speed will increase. It is impossible for the conveyor belt to ever be the same speed as the wheels of the plane once more-than-station-keeping thrust has been applied, and the wheels would instantaneously reach inifinite rotational velocity. Thus, it's a bogus question. The circumstances described simply can't happen. A better way to phrase the question, however, would be to replace "wheel speed" with "plane speed", as that is actually realistic... But that's for another day. 133438[/snapback] You're not entirely right, as has already been mentioned lift could theoretically be generated with no forward movement of the plane. Having thought about this situation some more with the engines going full pult and the flaps on the wings forcing air down, (and hence plane up) a large amount of lift would be generated. The stuff you are spouting about the conveyer and wheels is totally irrelevent since the question stated the conveyer would always match the wheel speed. SO if the wheels go infitiely fast the belt is too. Hence station keeping velocity is always equal to wheel velocity. I viewed is being that the wheel was trapped between two rolling metal tubes and spinning them so as engine speed increased the roller speed increased. Assuming no mechanical failures the the net plane horizontal motion would be zero. No matter how much thrust. The real argument is can the engines also suck enough air around the wings to get the lift required. Then the plane would vertically take off until it was above the belt then bomb forward and take off like normal. The other dodgy premises are the plane. Its like saying "i want a new combi boiler how much do they cost?" they are all different.
  18. Am I still in my car? 133371[/snapback] No. Unarmed combat, to the death. 133378[/snapback] 230 all at once? They'd swarm you man. You'd be dead in minutes. I reckon anything above 20 and it could start to become unmanageable. 133381[/snapback] Theres a point is this all at once or like in the fight scenes in movies. Would the 5 year olds attack one or two at a time while the others dance around menancingly until its their turn to attack you or would they do the real life all attack at once.
  19. The speed of sound in an incompressable object is infinite, which would be fasted then the speed of light. However no completely incompressable object exists so thats by the by. Light works in very weird ways, its like the light emitted from both those objects travelling at 60% the speed of light is only travelling at the speed of light, not at 160% speed of light.

  21. I'll break this down. The plane needs horzontal motion in order to generate the lift for take off. If the plane is on a conveyor belt matching speed of the wheels it cannot gain any forward motion and hence no lift. The fact its engines are delivering alot of thurst means nothing if it aint moving forward as there is no lift from the wings.
  22. right now there is approximately 2.5 tonnes of air pushing down on your head...
  23. Shaolin Soccer is easily the best football movie ever. If you've seen kung fu hustle its not too dissimiliar to that in terms of style.
