Well shit, I was wrong right off the bat.

By you? Nah. Springbok's astounding cognitive dissonance did a number on me back in the day though.

Better than being just a guy who pretends to be a real doctor on the internet. Oh, we are gonna do some revisionist history here? Alcestis repeatedly posted hilarious shit.

You probably shit on Alcestis who was a much better poster than you will ever be. Springbok lived on government assistance for years until he finally became self sufficient and decided government assistance was terrible.

Ravven is Rexxy?

It doesn't seem the studies did ANY analysis of whether or not the parents had allergies, and of course homes with allergic parents are less likely to have pets. Correlations, causation, yada yada yada.

You guys are going to be disappointed.

4's are all you are going to plow with those things on.

Are you gonna sue every computer/phone/tablet ever because they all do the same thing. Hard drive reported size has never accounted for the OS.

Why did they do away with reasons to finish the content before it became obsolete? I was pretty proud of my Plagued Proto-Drake.

What details? Claim to have a vagina, engage in a token degree of conversation, pathetic does the rest.

bro, BRO

No, there is a million and one fucking problems, but arguing physics about magical instruments is my last straw. You win, real plane doesn't take off when Gandalf decrees it so. It's like you recognize the problem the whole time, and then just decide out of nowhere that they don't exist. I...

Magic treadmills, got it. Discussion over, magic.

I mean, my original assumption was that he was fucking around. Then people suddenly seemed to bite on it, and then the hope that it was legit began to really creep in on me.

The plane takes off in your code. It has left the ground before the treadmill reaches 470, the point where according to your sloppily produced "rolling resistance" acceleration finally halts.

I could say the same.

No, because that never happens. The wheels have to be traveling at 470mph for your sloppily computed "rolling resistance" to come into play. When does that happen?

Correct.

Gavinrad has to be trolling, right? He has to be.

Why are you neglecting the fact that a plane will take off well before it reaches 470mpg? It'll take off before it reaches 235 too, which is what the treadmill speed would be if you got the wheel speed up to 470 mph.

Too much plot and character growth not enough DEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAN

Sand, haven't you been listening?

I couldn't figure out why Red Dead Redemption was on that list then I realized to Tuco console exclusive is the same as not ported to PC. Given how bad they mangled the PC port of GTA why would you even want any of their games ported?

It's option 1. This thread is stupid.

Yes, and planes take off well before 470 mph. We understand this, I was attempting to provide some understanding by approaching the "problem" from another direction, but it still failed.

Clearly movies and music are simple enough file types that they will be "backwards compatible". That goes without saying.

That wasn't what I asked about it rolling backwards, I asked if turning the engines on would reduce the velocity at which it rolled backwards, which it would. We're of course making assumptions here to ignore whether or not the plane would be able to operate with air rushing past it at high...

You said it wouldn't reduce the velocity at which it was moving backwards. How can the wheel speed increase if that doesn't happen?

Did you remember to account for the reduction in friction owing to the lift provided by the wings of the plane? No, of course you didn't.

If it's moving backwards at the speed of the treadmill the wheel speed is 0 so you are wrong even there.

Well you didn't show it here. From this page:http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_much_t...y_a_Boeing_747 224,000 lbs of thrust. Where did you come up with a number that large for rolling resistance based on the formula you linkedhttp://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/ro...ce-d_1303.html. A 747 has...

BRO THAT QUESTION WASN'T FOR YOU Oh well, he got an even simpler question wrong, so it's hopeless.

Ok since you guys refuse to stop engaging him, let's try it a different way. Let's say you have a plane that is on a infinite treadmill already heading backwards at a very high speed. What happens when you turn the engine on? Does the speed that it is traveling backwards diminish?

The increase in terminal velocity is not marginal, it increases at double the rate as mass. Whoops, no it doesn't. It's the square root of double the difference. Still not marginal.

Who remembers the first time they attacked a Kodo in WoW?

PS3 backwards compatibility wasn't as important because the vast majority of PS2 games actually looked like utter shit on HDtvs. I remember the day I upgraded my tv. It was the day I decided I'd be getting the next gen consoles as soon as possible.

I can understand why someone would make the same mistakes that others did the first time this shit happened, but what I don't get is how someone who was obviously there for it would entertain the discussion again. The plane takes off. You are wrong. No, I'm not going to try to explain why...
