What the shit is queuing theory?

Server utilizations, buffer spreads, residence time...

All focused on networks (to design around traffic) and uses probability theory to map results.

Some of it is interesting...most of it is boring.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

that sounds deadly boring. I prefer cache usage analyzing (what kind of stupidity do I have to invoke to make cache lines get evicted as quickly as possible? etc)

If I could choose my dream job it'd be either designing awesome embedded systems hardware (I'd love to do ECUs, for instance) or working my ass off outside for the same pay. Since no one pays that much to work your ass off outside, hardware it is... I could see being a high voltage power line repair tech I guess.

Didn't this guy JUST build this jeep? http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?p=245261488#post245261488

I'm glad I have two classes that I can tell the teachers to STFU and leave me alone without getting kicked out or yelled at.

The science of waiting in lines.

People, data, same shit. There are actually lots of similarities. This has now been discussed 3 times in the LOPT. :D

Now I kinda want to go dig up some of my old code...

A lot of traffic analysis and transportation engineering is done with the principles of fluid mechanics. Same idea.

That's the same style gun I used at Scout camp too, and the only style of rifle the BSA allows AFAIK. You use that model of Savage or just .22LR bolt action in general? For my first rifle I want something accurate, decently reliable, cheap to shoot, and peep sights. .22LR is cheap to shoot and I know Savage is a great company. Is there another model you'd (reasonably) recommend?

That exact model. Its not a bad gun, but its nothing special either.
What I would recommend
In that price range- http://www.henryrepeating.com/rifle-acubolt.cfm, http://www.henryrepeating.com/rifle-lever-action.cfm, http://www.ruger.com/products/1022Carbine/models.html

Cheaper- http://www.mossberg.com/products/default.asp?id=30, http://www.marlinfirearms.com/Firearms/BoltAction22/925.asp

Or if you want a cheap, rugged gun that is relatively inexpensive to shoot, and has a man caliber- http://www.midwesthuntersoutlet.com/item.aspx?PID=80226&w=PQ+JDyOLrQE=
#9: Mosin-Nagant M44
Speaking of guns without safeties, here's the Mosin-Nagant M44 Carbine from Russia. The Mosin was used by the Russians against the Finns, the Finns against the Russians, the Estonians against the Russians, the Russians against the Russians, and the Russians against the Germans. It does, in fact, have a safety, but it's quite hard to engage. But this is not a complaint one would ever voice in the Red Army. Your officer would reply, "Safety? Safety? Is gun! Meant to kill! No warrior should know he has safety on gun, because he should be killing enemies of homeland! Safety make loud click to aid enemy in locating warriors! No safety!" while pounding his fist on the table.

And the Mosin can kill enemies of homeland. The muzzle blast will vaporize green growth within a few feet of the muzzle, and even if you miss, the enemy will be reduced to shouting "WHAT?" to communicate. You'll need a recoil pad or shooting jacket. Ordinarily, this might be considered unmanly, but this rifle has a short stock for using while wearing several layers of wool for a Russian winter. It is acceptable to wear padding to fire a Mosin.

Of course, there are also M38, 91/30 and other variations of Mosin-Nagant and all are cool. All, also (except the M38), come with a bayonet. Russian doctrine held that the bayonet was mounted except while traveling in a vehicle, because the Russians understood that an empty rifle could still be a pointy stick—a Viking spear. The Russians loved to spear Turks. So, coincidentally, did the Vikings. This rifle sounds better all the time, doesn't it? The Finns used the Mosin as a sniper rifle during the Winter War, and their greatest Sniper was Simo Häyhä, who had 500 confirmed kills in 100 days. This is a man the Finns describe as "modest" and "self-effacing." It's a good thing the Russians didn't run into a Finn who was proud and arrogant. They'd have been wiped out.

It fires a 7.62X54R (for "Rimmed") cartridge, about as powerful as .30-06, and holds the distinction of being in service from 1891 to the present, longer than any other military cartridge. It is still used in Dragunovs, PKMs and other Russian weapons. It's cheap in quantity. So are the rifles, because they were built for (all variations) over 70 years, by Russia, Finland, Poland, Romania, even the US. As I write this, arsenal-new M44s are $55 to $200. At that price, you should have several, so any guests you have during the Collapse can be outfitted as they receive Enlightenment. Then they can rape, kill, sack and loot with the rest of the men who secure a new Dark Ages to hasten the new renaissance. It will be a manly duty.

They are awesome. My sisters boyfriend has one, he spent over 10k on it, and still has more to do to it, and that doesn't include the different shooting jackets he has for different shooting positions. Of course he is also nationally ranked, so I guess he can justify spending that much. I will just have to be satisfied with shooting it once in a while, that is whenever I can stop drooling over it long enough to actually shoot.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

First example I could find, simple shit, but this is the basic structure I always used.

Code: 
#include <iostream.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <string.h>

void stress(float &, float &, float, float, float, float, float, int);
float shear(float, float);
short units(short &);

void main()
{
	short unit=0;
	int conversion=0;
	char label1[]="    ";
	char label2[]="    ";
	float sigma1=0, sigma2=0, e1=0, e2=0, e3=0, v=0, E=0, shear1=0;
	
	cout << "Multi-axial strain to stress program" <<endl;
	unit=units(unit);   //sets units
	
	if (unit==1)
	{
		conversion=1000000; //conversion factor for u in
		strcpy(label1, "psi"); //assigns 'psi' as label
		strcpy(label2, "u in"); //assigns 'u in' as label
	}
	if (unit==2)
	{
		conversion=1000000; //* see footnote
		strcpy(label1, "MPa");
		strcpy(label2, "u mm");
	}

	cout << "\nPlease enter value for E in " << label1 <<": ";
	cin >> E;

	cout << "Please enter value for v: ";
	cin >> v;

	cout << "Please enter value for e1 in " << label2 <<": ";
	cin >> e1;

	cout << "Please enter value for e2 in " << label2 <<": ";
	cin >> e2;

	cout << "Please enter value for e3 in " << label2 <<": ";
	cin >> e3;

	stress(sigma1, sigma2, E, v, e1, e2, e3, conversion); //calculates stress

	shear1=shear(sigma1, sigma2); //calculates shear

	cout << "\n";
	cout << "Sigma1: " << sigma1 << " " << label1 <<endl;
	cout << "Sigma2: " << sigma2 << " " << label1 <<endl;
	cout << "Shear:  " << shear1 << " " << label1 <<endl;
}



short units(short &unit)
{
	while(unit!=1 && unit!=2) //loops until valid input is received
	{
		cout << "Please press 1 for USCS units or 2 for SI units: ";
		cin >> unit;
	}

	return unit;
}

void stress(float &sigma1, float &sigma2, float E, float v, float e1, float e2, float e3, int conversion)
{
	e1=e1/conversion;
	e2=e2/conversion;
	e3=e3/conversion;

	sigma1=.5*E*(((e1+e3)/(1-v))+((sqrt(2)/(1+v))*sqrt((e1-e2)*(e1-e2)+(e2-e3)*(e2-e3))));
	sigma2=.5*E*(((e1+e3)/(1-v))-((sqrt(2)/(1+v))*sqrt((e1-e2)*(e1-e2)+(e2-e3)*(e2-e3))));
}

float shear(float sigma1, float sigma2)
{
	return (sigma1-sigma2)/(float)2;
}


/* The conversion factor from u mm to meters is 10^9, but having E in MPa reduces this by a factor of 10^3.
Even though both conversion factors (SI and USCS) are the same, it was left open-ended to easily accommodate the coding of additional unit systems. */
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

The T18 is in Colebrook, Ct. 140 miles away from me. I think I should be able to manage getting ~10 gallons of junk car gas so I'll have to pay out of pocket for the other ~10 that it'll take to get there and back. Not bad :dunno:
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Sealed the deal, picking up a T18 with clutch,flywheel,dana20,bellhousing so I think all I need is a pedal and some creativity to make this work. Getting it next sunday.

You motor boatin' son of a bitch!

This is gonna be legen... wait for it and I hope you're not lactose intolerant... dary!
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I've seen people use bike chain(maybe not actual bike chain but double roller chain)for clutch linkage and there's a mountain bike sitting outside. Now all I need to find is a clutch pedal...
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Do you have to worry about bending/snapping the clutch fork when you have mechanical linkage? I plan on stomping on my clutch pedal alot.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

the only way you could bend or snap the fork is if the springs on the clutch are hard. i honestly thingk your bike chain will break before the fork will


ive had standards all my life and have never heard of a fork going out.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I've heard of them cracking before.
