Also, don't forget that you've got to add others' codes to your list in addition to them adding your code to their list to get all the "benefits" of using the Friend system.

I don't remember what our number is...

Simpsons, South Park, Danger Mouse, Maison Ikkoku (it was on TV... in Japan), Samurai Pizza Cats

I finally get to play my Wii tomorrow.  A friend pulled some strings and got one for us, and is brining it over to us for my wife's birthday tomorrow.  I'd actually bought Zelda: Twilight Princess before I knew we'd gotten a system because it was the last copy they had between two local Best Buys, three Wal-Marts, two Targets, and multiple EB Games and Gamestops.  When you buy games for a system you don't even have, that's probably not a good sign...

I'm reading some history book of Modern Japanese figures... I'll have to wait until I get back to my apartment tomorrow to get the actual title.

High Quality episodes of Samurai Pizza Cats, of course.    And a fan-sub of Galaxy Express 999.  Throw in some football and some basketball, and re-runs of South Park, Family Guy, and Futurama.  That's about it... I don't watch tons of TV these days.

A Navy airman I used to work with explained this one to me before, but the qualifications in his question dealing with the speed of the conveyor belt, the plane, and the wheels on the landing gear were a little more specific.  The gist of it, though, is that the plane will take off.

The wheels on the landing gear spin as a result of an applied force, but their spin is largely independent from the movement of the airplane itself.  The airplane will take off as a result of lift on the wings, which will require forward movement. 

If the conveyor-belt runway is moving backwards with the airplane's engines at rest, that force will not be completely applied to the airplane itself because the friction resulting from gravity (a downward force) will offset some (but not all) of the force of backwards-movement resulting from the movement of the conveyor belt.  Some of that momentum will be transfered to the airplane through the wheels on the landing gear because of friction. 

If the conveyor-belt runway is at rest and the airplane's engines are moving the airplane forward, that force will be completely applied to the airplane itself because the engines are fixed to the wings of the plane.  There will be some loss of potential momentum because of friction on the landing gear, but not nearly enough to equal the friction caused by the backwards-moving conveyor-belt runway.

So, when the engines are fired to accelerate the plane forward at the same rate that the runway is moving backwards, the body of the airplane itself will be given forward momentum and will eventually reach a great enough speed to achieve lift (at which point in time it would accelerate much more quickly).  This is all assuming that conditions exist with the rate of gravity, the surface of the runway, and the wheels on the landing gear do not create excessive friction that prevents the landing gear mechanism from operating properly, thus preventing the wheels from being able to spin.

His explanation was a lot simpler and more concise, but that's the gist of it.  The force transferred to the body of the airplane is greater from the engines than from the runway because the wheels are free spinning and do not transfer the full amount of force from the runway to the body of the plane.  Hope that made sense.

This project is fantastic.  I had always wondered how different SPC was from its Japanese source material, and thanks to the efforts of the individuals involved in the Dream Project we all get to see it for ourselves.  Keep up the good work!
