Fashion Things

find some way to cool the rotors off more effectively. Either way you end up with cross-drilled or grooved brake rotors. While grooving the surface may reduce the specific heat capacity of the rotor, its effect is negligible in the grand scheme of things. The rotors will heat up to cool down no faster or slower. However, under heavy braking once everything is hot and the resin is vapourising, the grooves give the gas somewhere to go, so the pad can continue to contact the rotor, allowing…

was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing: I drew the inside of the boa constrictor, so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. They always need to have things explained. My Drawing Number Two looked like this: 3 4 CHAPTER 1. The grown-ups’ response, this time, was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of boa constrictors, whether from the inside or the outside, and devote myself…

techniques which underpin the conceptualisation of consultants as expert helpers. Abrahamson (1996) identifies management consultants as key fashion setters. He argues that consultants have to sense the emergence of collective preferences for new techniques and develop the rhetorics to define and disseminate these techniques to wary managers and others fashion setters. The key to success for management consultants is to be perceived at the forefront of this process. Sturdy (1997)…

actually readable when trying to learn the ropes of C++ (and the basics of good object oriented programming in general). Gunther Schulz, KawaiiSoft I love the examples in your book. There’s stuff there that I never would have thought of (and some things that I didn’t know you could do)! Rich Herrick, Senior Associate Software Engineer, Lockheed-Martin Federal Systems, Owego, NY It’s an amazing book. Any questions I have I refer to this online book. Helped in every case. I’m simply happy…

credit attributable to the Matthew effect. As the laureate quoted by Harriet Zuckerman acknowledges: “If I publish my name first, then everyone thinks the others are just technicians. . . . If my name is last, people will credit me anyway for the whole thing, so I want the others to have a bit more glory.” The problem of achieving a public identity in science may be deepened by the great increase in the number of papers with several authors (2, chap. 3; 19; 20, p. 87) in which the -role…

make complicated things seem damn simple. And as if that isn't enough, she can make boring things seem interesting. I always look forward to reading whatever Kathy writes—she's one of my favorite authors." —Paul Wheaton, Trail Boss JavaRanch.com "Who better to write a Java study guide than Kathy Sierra, the reigning queen of Java instruction? Kathy Sierra has done it again—here is a study guide that almost guarantees you a certification!" —James Cubeta, Systems Engineer, SGI "The thing I…

being there, and to my Bumblebee for enduring through the process of writing the book. Of course, thanks to the whole Zabbix team and community—there would be no subject of this book without them. Special kudos go to Alexei, who started this whole thing called Zabbix. Thanks to the Packt team for their persistence and patience—it surely was hard to work with a chaotic person like me.

establishing any correlation between parts, an attitude that in turn reassures die student of the validity of the various systems. Democracy, for example, is studied as if the citizen were an entity separate from the State, as if public opinion were a "thing in itself*; meanwhile, the scientific study of public opinion and propaganda is left to other specialists, and the specialist in public opinion in turn relies on the jurist to define a suitable legal framework for democracy. The…
