Will oldbuckster be happy with new Yamaha receiver? or Will he be sorry he didn't buy the Outlaw receiver?............for double the money?
ob, I think you made the right choice. if you would have spent the $ for the outlaw, you would have had unreasonable expectations.
clarence out.

Clarence, how would you deal with a sibling who stole from your checking account causing you to overdraw your account, and then doesn't admit it?
here's the deal.
i had a friend that stole $3 out of my cupholder.
we dont talk anymore.
i'm sad our friendship was only worth three bucks.

......Neither of these components can occur for the conveyor scenario described, because the engines thrust will be negated by the speed of the conveyor.........
.........Geeeez, 16 pages of debate for this moronic question,... unfreaking believeable.
Gilbert,
How does the speed of the conveyor negate the engine's thrust? I can't wait to hear your answer.
I gave it my best shot, please read below
16 pages, because people don't analyze the problem correctly and/or don't bother to read previous posts before they jump in and restate obvious points about thrust and lift.
first off, my opinion (mine) was requested for the question that was given. My opinion about what someone else thought was not asked; so I gave it, without any prior thought to what anyone else had to say, because it's irrelevant.
Still waiting for an answer. [sn]
Patience, and I'm sorry if my response was not speedy engouh for you, but I had to run to Lowes to buy some paint, and other niknaks. Then had to drive all the way down to the office to get a couple of books.
Here is something else to think about. If our "will not take off" friends are right, then reverse thrust couldn't slow a plane down after landing. Someone tell the admiral.
No need to think about landing, Landing is something completely different for this scenario. The fact that you introduce this new concept into the equation makes me wonder about your interpretation of the question. We (me and you) may be talking apples and oranges, and as a result, your getting overly excited for no reason. But, anyway, as I understood the question asked of us, it has to do with the planes ability to take off. Sorry if I'm sounding rude, because I'm not trying to be
With that said... sure, I'll play one more round, but please (and I respectfully request this, PLEASE), clear your thoughts about whatever point or hurdles you were previously trying to jump over or prove. Start with a clear mind, or clean sheet of paper, so to speak.
The one and only thing you & I must agree upon is the fundemental fact that forward airspeed is required to produce lift on the wings..... -hopefully, we're in agreement on this fact, and I believe we are.
Now, lets get to the question that was presented to us. Please correct me if I am mistaken, or if we are of differing opinions with respect to the question that was asked.
As I understood the question, there are 2 key pieces of information.....
1st KEY: There is a plane capable of developing an infinite amount of engine thrust.
2nd KEY: And the BIGGIE... This plane sits on top of a conveyor belt that has the magical ability to adjust it's speed in direct proportion to the planes forward engine thrust. As a result of the conveyors magical abilities, the planes does not move forward while at full thrust, its' speed relative to its' surroundings is zero, i.e. as thust increases or decreases, so too does the speed of the conveyor belt. Hence, offsetting (or negating) the movement of the plane relative to it's surroundings.
That is how I understood the question.... Are we in agreement?
If yes, then answer me this... Will the pilot feel the wind pressure if he/she was to stick his/her hand out the window? The answer, NO, because there is no relative motion, and hence no forward airspeed across the wing.
If no, then we're obviously not in agreement with respect to the question presented, and hence one of us (or both of us) obviously mis-intrpreted the question.
Oh, for what it's worth (probably not much) I am a pilot with just over 24yrs (750+ hrs) experience, and I think I have a fairly decent grasp on the theory of relativity. But that doesn't mean I understand coyotees question. So with that said, please don't beat me with a big stick for not interpreting the questions the same way you do.
Cheers, it's Saturday night, and I'm going to have a few beers before the big boxing match this evening.. Manny Pachiao versus Eric Morales... the 3rd and final match. If you like boxing, you gotta watch this one.
are you guys really still debating this ridicioulus premise? for shame....

Correction:
Consumer Reports stated that "Sony and Hitachi" stoped making plasma TV's for the home consumer. Panasonic is still going strong in the plasma market.
My local Walmart was selling the new model 42" Panasonic Plasma TH-42PX6U for $1294.99, they sold out quick.
hd set?

come on, bring it, whats on your mind?

It's 7 pm on Saturday night and I'm bored
well colter, you've come to the right place. let the games begin!

jim,
how do I make a moving jpeg image be my avatar? when i try it just is still.

Here's the thread you were looking for Clarence- hopefully you'll find what you're looking for. I would advise that you allow for plenty of expansion, either modularly, or by purchasing 1.5 to 2x the space you currently need.
perfect, thanks for the link. looks like we have a winner.
-
does it come in modual cubes? its perfect, but a bit big for my needs right now?
-
very desirable piece. Was the first tube integrated I lusted for. if you dont get it give me the link so I can pick it up.
-
Nice choice, congrats. I paid 2700 back in 2001 for my 42 inch non hd plasma. I think they are now around 1500. When this one goes in the bedroom, I will go HD. Enjoy!

I need a more portable solution. Anybody had any luck with the catologue offerings?
-
There's an IKEA in Canton, MI. Not sure how close that is to you, Clarence.
Very. I work at the Cadillac store right down the road. I will have to swing through there next week.

I know I saw a thread on this awhile ago, but I cant seem to locate it. This one will be easy to find in the future for all.
I have seen large racks, (colter) milk crates, and recently saw in Audio Advisor a rolling stackable storage unit for 100 records, only $109.99 plus s/h! (Do the math on that one!)
I need an affordable, presentable, expandable solution for my new habit. I have a few hundred records currently, and I seem to be adding 1 or 2 a week.
Pictures are appreciated, but not necessary. The more info, links, etc the better!
ps the doctor WILL be in tonight.

jb did you get my email.

uhhh you are such a helper
chill ear you know i love you. canuck.

come on now. you know it is. if they made "cadillac man 2" who would be robin williams replacement?

my g/f wonders why I laugh out loud at the computer in the night. I think I'm going to have to move my cool chit back downstairs.

not here. wtf?
