At the risk of sounding like a super nerd, they incorrectly believe that increasing the redline from 6200 rpms to 7000 rpms is less stressful than increasing the hp output from 250 hp to 500 hp. What they don't understand is that tensile rod stress at TDC is by far the greatest stress in a piston engine at race speeds. The stress on the rod bolts are 7000 rpms is 25%+ larger than at 6200 rpms, a maximum stress of 3200 G! Yes, 3200 times the acceleration of gravity. Or if you have a 1 kilogram piston and connecting rod combo, about 7000 lbs.
So, here are the formula's, it's all calculus. I'm just using a calculator setup to calculate piston acceleration, but it's kinda like bringing a RPG to a knife fight.
I'm sure a lot of you have seen some form of this presentation (either in full or in truncated parts), but for those of you who have not, here is Part 1 of Jobs' presentation of iPhone OS 4.0
Also, that's wierd - I have the same thing going on, My girlfriend's cat Chi looks EXACTLY like my cat Mao. Same markings, colours and all. It's weird, man.
On a whim today, I decided I wanted to play some Guns of Icarus (a donation for the full game will come soon once a job of monies and experiences), and I discovered they had a new game: Make Bouncy Bouncy.
I think you get to declare that you won the game if you can get your fortress to contain a dwarf-computer that is, itself, running a copy of Dwarf Fortress.

The framerates would be measured in frames per eon on anything but a Beowulf megacluster.

If you haven't heard of Chris Morris, go look up Brass Eye.

Same cat?
Same cat!
Should I email this person?

The lipsynching is odd, but Masaaki Endoh is awesome.
