    Then find evidence of a better equation or a better rolling resistance coefficient. Also from a quick google it looks like we're not far off: http://books.google.com/books?id=XMp...icient&f=false

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Have you seen what GTAIV looks like on PC? It's one of the top 5 best looking games ever along with Crysis and skyrim. And yeah, not ported to PCs = console exclusive to me. Sorry for the confusion. I might buy a console this generation though if mouse/kb support is in.

    You might be right but my jimmies are still rustled over red dead redemption, demon souls and god of war. Only one of those is owned by sony or MS!

    Maybe not for IPs owned by sony/ms, but I look at it like this: $xboxToPcPortProfit = netGainFromPCsales - costToPort - MSExclusiveSubsidy If costToPort decreases ports will be more profitable and more likely to happen or require more subsidy from MS. But maybe I'm simplifying it too much.

    b0nafide exists outside of time. I could give a shit about backwards compatibility. Anything that merges PC and console architecture is good even if it limits backward compatibility. I wonder what all three platforms using x86 architecture means for ease of console ports. And if it's...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I think in our scenario it's best to assume that either: 1. The plane is artificially held in place until the treadmill and the propeller are running at fullspeed. 2. While the plane is moving forward relative to ground the treadmill will continue to accelerate up to 470mph. In either of...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Ancient it's fucked if the treadmill is rolling back at around 470 (It'd likely be less than that because the rolling resistance would increase as the plane moved forward, so it'd be in at equilibrium somewhere between 0 and takeoff speed). Where that number is exactly because of the decrease in...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    oh fuck the boeing, let's keep with the cessna. Bottom line is that his .01 wheel going 470mph = .2 is wrong. I don't know he got .2 using c = 0.005 + 1/40 (0.01 + 0.0095(v/100)^2) where v = 756kph

    Of course it diminishes. I just want to know what speed the thing would have to go before it couldn't take off. OB's statement is that it's around 450mph but he thinks the treadmill is made out of sand and is covered in hair.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I think significant height = high enough for both objects to achieve terminal velocity. And you'd only have a marginal difference in terminal velocity if the difference in mass (with dimensions being equal) was marginal.

    Questions are all well and good, but I don't hold it against a man if his friend asks him for help and he sets up a donation without knowing all the details of what his friend is going through. That is, of course, assuming that he received no benefit from the donation and did not know the...

    Google voice sucks for me. But whenever I play back the audio recording I can say with certaintity that the speaker did in fact say what google voice transcribed even if they didn't mean to say it. Ex: "Yeah, James, This is David doing and I'm just calling to let you know that. Phillippo...

    well how fast did you have to throw the snowball? I'm no expert but it seems like in most cases some of it would sublimate and some would melt.

    Oh come on, be a sport. Run the numbers and let me know how many times more the speed would need to be than what the tires would take before they explode into misunderstood balls of flame.

    Let us know what the mph would be with a rolling resistance coefficient of 0.01 would be (which is good estimation of a typical light aircraft).

    It's good but the GTAIV one is much better because it's high resolution and doesn't hide low resolution textures behind a bunch of blurry bullshit.

    PM from OB: Bro I'm not trolling, I actually wanted to know how fast the treadmill would have to go. I question your assumption of the rolling resistance of the wheels being .204. I would bet it's closer to .02. Are you confusing the friction coefficient with rolling resistance? Because this...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Ah so if only the treadmill was going 100mph it would overcome the amount of thrust of the propeller by providing enough friction on the wheels to accelerate.
