Yes, the treadmill matches the speed of the plane but that doesn't matter. As I said, the treadmill could be going even faster than the plane and it would still take off. The wheels are not what moves the plane forward. The jets pushing against air move it forward. The wheels would spin "freely"...

The answer is, yes it would take off. The plane would move forward because the jet engines push against the air, not the ground. It doesn't matter how fast the treadmill is moving. It could even be moving faster than the plane. The wheels would spin at twice the speed the plane is actually...

The Airplane on a Treadmill is a type of physics riddle that usually results in two groups of people taking different sides and calling each other idiots for hours at a time. None the less it’s a fun thought puzzle and worth taking a look at. The Set Up: Let’s say that we have a jet...

My box is so messed up that it won't even turn on. I can't even get to the setup/diagnostic menu to attempt a fix. :crap:

I'm forced to go without TV for at least a few days now. :banghead:

I'm just curious if any other DirecTV DVR owners have been having continuous problems with their box. I received a DVR 1 or 2 years ago for Christmas. At first, it worked fine but quickly we started noticing that certain channels would come in very poorly or not at all. These same channels...

I just placed an order for one of these. That should do the trick! Thanks!

I have just an "ok" standard definition TV. I'd like to get an XBOX 360 but don't want to miss out on all the HD goodness. I already have a decent computer monitor so I decided to go this route rather than drop $1500+ for a good HDTV.

Thanks a lot guys! It looks like I have a few options available to me...I just have to decide which one to use.

I think this might be what I'm looking for --> http://www.audiogear.com/cgi-bin/shopper.cgi?key=AdptRfY&preadd=action The two RCA cables from the XBOX would connect to one end and the PC speakers would connect to the other end.

I couldn't find anything on their website, but going to an actual store couldn't hurt.

I know I'll need a VGA cable to connect to the monitor, but how do I connect to PC speakers? I've been looking for an adapter that will allow you to connect the red and white RCA cables in one end and the male connection for PC speakers into the other. I haven't been having much luck though.

Exercise always sounds good until it actually comes time to do it. At that time I usually decide to have a snack instead.

What? I can't use wingdings? :crying4:

exactly what I was thinking...

I recently decided I want to build a model for every car I own in my life. The problem is I'm not rich so I'm not trying to find the typical Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini models. I'm looking for a model for my current car, a Ford Focus SE :o. I've found the Focus rally edition model but nothing...

I enjoy watching both American and British comedies, though I haven't seen nearly as many British ones as I have American.
