2) Yes, it sounds like a free energy machine. If a given amount of electrical power produces a given thrust, constantly, without consuming any fuel, then you can generate unlimited energy by attaching this thing to a flywheel or rotor arm that drives a generator and it will produce more energy than it requires to drive the thruster. Some of the current theories about this thing claim that it won't do that, that its efficiency will go down the faster it's moving (relative to a given frame of reference).
This is complete nonsense. Why would that be the case in your opinion?
How does the generator know it is driven by an EM Drive versus by a horse? Why should it generate "free energy" in the first case and need lots of horse food in the second?
You make no sense.
You do know that a reactionless drive means not only that momentum is not conserved.
No, it does not mean that. Why should it?
But that the laws of physics are different in different places.
Oh, you did not know that this basically is the case in fact? Yes, we use counter constants to wear that effects out and "fix" the formulas so we get universal valid formulas.
Simple example, clocks run with different speeds when accelerated close or not so close to the speed of light.
Obviously after Einstein (and LORENZ!) we know now how to put that into a formula.
Before them, if we only had observed that effect, we had assumed different speeds (more precisely accelerations)
This drive is just the same. We have ideas how it works! After all it was not discovered by accident but is an attempt to "craft" something for which already a rudimentary idea how it could work exists!
The EM drive and other new drive variants violate nothing.
In this whole thread/article no one was able to point out a single classical physical phenomena/law or what ever that was violated.
You all are only writing sentences like "it violates newtons law of conservation of momentum". However to fail to explain: why and how it violates it.
While this new thing violates 400 years of experiments and results.
Care to show a single such experiment?
Well, your post is wrong from top to bottom, but this beats it:
the device would produce thrust without reaction mass, violating conservation of momentum.
Why? Why should thrust without use of a reaction mass violate the law of conversation of momentum?
Sorry, your claim simply makes no sense. But feel free to educate us.
Pffft
Care to explain which law of physics is challenged by the EM drive?
Oh, you don't know any, yeah so do I!
Sure, just toss a net over it.
I was thinking more along the lines of sending up an anti-drone drone to grab it and drag it back down. After that you can rely on the legal precedent of "finders, keepers" to add it to your drone collection.
I'm bully on ARM, with the (almost) collapse of AMD as a "first rate" processor, it's good to see Intel get some serious competition in a significant market space.
My only beef with ARM is that comparing CPUs is harder than comparing video cards! the ARM space is so fragmented with licensed cores and seemly random numbers indicating the "version" that I have no idea how, for example, a SnapDragon 808 processor compares to a Cortex A9 or an Apple A7.
Really, I'm lost. But the $40 TV stick with the 4x core A9 works pretty well...
It is installed by default in VS
that was part of vista, and server 2008 when they declared automated testing was bettet. So no we suffer, because apparently all the hard work that went into 2003 wasnt worth it.
2012 is a joke of a server.
Funny. On server 2012 R2 I can reverse AD schema deletions, go powershell only and or turn GUI on or off, use desired state configuration powershell templates, use DCs as VMs, and many many almost countless things I can't do on server 2k3.
Is it really true you need a 1990s modem plugged into a 2k3 server just to turn VPN on and then unplug the modem before it is ready??
If you're a dev, you shouldn't be chasing versions. Find a stable version, stick with it through your project. SE already has enough of that "stuff changing out from under me" feel without adding to the issue.
This mindset is why I still have to support companies that refuse to migrate from IE8. Thanks.
There are currently 2 common mindsets.
1) find a stable version and prevent yourself from ever getting anything better and any upgrade is sure to break tons of stuff
or
2) upgrade versions every time a new one comes out so you get the benefits of incremental improvements, sure stuff breaks, but the next patch will fix it in a matter of days/weeks
On April 8th 2014 the joyful day of XP/IE6 death, which should be considered an international holiday, I think a lot of companies realized that the days of use a "Stable version" for decades is over/no longer realistic.
Now I am not saying "just start upgrading everything always" because the worst thing you can do is try to step out in front of the subway car of continuous integration/continuous improvement after letting a project mature on "stick with the stable version" mentality; but I am saying... the half-assed "stable version" meets patch tuesday bullshit that microsoft is doing will continue to bite you and everybody else in the ass until that entire tech stack stops doing that crap and starts doing the continuous integration thing for real. Chrome does it, every app on your phone tries to do it, "cloud" products do it (that is one of the reasons execs love "cloud").
Microsoft might as well be mailing floppies for how broken and relevant their process is.
Speak for yourself! I can't consider learning HTML 5 until 2020 when 7 goes EOL as too many of the users have standardized on IE 8 HTML throughout the whole decade. I have 2 apps we support which are IE 6 only and can't be upgraded and not our call to upgrade it( client owned)
I just installed 8.1 with VS 2015 this weekend.
Is this serious enough where I need to re-image as things like my Intel RST raid driver all depend on 4.5 runtimes or does this only hit code being compiled?
