  1. Kinetic energy is KE=.5 * mv^2. While force is F=ma. The spring will supply an equal force regardless of the mass of the hammer. When you decrease mass, acceleration increases. Faster acceleration results in faster hammer velocity which cuts down lock time.
  2. Scooter

    Which one?

    Calamari Ice cream: Chocolate or vanilla
  3. Ford's envolvement in the WRC really has nothing to do with an American company. The european division is almost a completely different entity. That's why you don't see the euro Ford cars in the US. They can sell a Focus RS with Volvo's turbo 2.5 I-5 engine, but you will never see that option in the US. Plus it's an entirely different car over there.
  4. I know rebuttals aren't allowed. I thought spying was just part of F1. They used to encrypt pit radios so the other teams couldn't hear their strategies or problems. I'm sure they had someone trying to descramble the radios. You know each team has photographes camped out whenever they took cars out on the test tracks. The only difference is McLaren got caught and the other teams didn't.
  5. Alonso was aware of the information, where as Hamilton didn't. This is in the full report which http://www.crash.net has posted.
  6. WRC video, direct downloads, not torrents: http://128.205.156.84 Hopefully this site will stay up until the WRC finds out. WRC torrents: http://www.rallytorrents.com Enjoy.
  7. UPS has a couple of different options on next day air. The cheapest one is by 3pm, I think. If you want it before 9am, you have pay a lot more money. I shipped a work related item for delivery by 9 and it was something like $60 for a 2 lb package.
  8. Stock 1911's belong in CDP, not SSP. ESP if it is not a 45 caliber. IDPA also has a minimum thickness for a belt. With a CR Speed belt, you would have to choose to use either the inner or outer belt and have to thread it through the belt loops. It's easier just to get a Wilderness Trails Belt for IDPA and CR Speed for IPSC.
  9. or how about when they open their car doors while talking on the phone. MY car door is not a door stop for your door.
  10. It could be worse. My dad had bladder cancer, so they removed his bladder. They did make a small bladder using a section from the small intestines, but he essentially has no bladder control. He wakes up every 2 hours throughout the night due to leakage. He can more or less control it during the day, but not at night.
  11. Unless you go with an external power source, the cycle times tend to be on the slow side. Even my Nikon SB-800 using the extra 5th battery to boost cycle time will take 1-2 seconds to recharge to full power, but it is a $400 flash unit.
  12. They have people that professionally kill gophers at farms by pumping methane into the holes, then lighting a match. Boom! All dead.
  13. Well that's better use of tax payer money than the $4000 we are charging the Air Force for making a "waste receptacle" for one of the C-5 that is in need of one. Oh and we were the lowest bidder.
  14. Scooter

    Which one?

    Supermoto Burger King or Jack in a box
  15. Where did you find the time machine? Article is dated 9/1/07, but right now it's only 8/28. On Futureweapons, they did the sand thing with the 416, but they always made sure to close the bolt dust cover before pouring sand on it. Not exactly a true test there.
  16. A lot of the military guys who carry MP5's for entry have switched to using modified isosceles with the sub gun placed centered on the chest. Basically where ever they look with the upper body, the gun will be pointed in that direction. It also makes movement easier.
  17. The 7.62 miniguns have been used in the past with the AC-47, aka DC-3, predecessor of the AC-130. A friend of mine's dad served on one. He was usually in the back tossing out grenades. He said they usually only turn on one and maybe two guns at a time. If they turn all three guns on, the plane would start drifting sideways.
  18. It's a HH-60. http://www.af.mil/news/airman/1103/gunssb1.html
  19. Scooter

    Which one?

    Conventional Kate Beckinsale or Charlize Theron?
  20. I still remember when I used to be able to order Portugese ammo for $130/1000 SHIPPED. Once that dried up, it was South African for $180/850 w/o shipping. I've pretty much stopped shooting 3 gun matches since my supply of ammo has dwindled. I'm in California, so that doesn't help with getting an AR that's not neutered.
  21. If you make a trip to shoot Norco Run & Gun, they use wooden frames with snow fencing. They have a separate stands that they hang the walls off of using hooks and eyelets. Sure beats driving big stakes into the ground and screwing the wall to the stakes.
  22. Scooter

    Which one?

    Surefire Mitutoyo or Starett
