This is like if an elevator were in free fall you would fine if you jumped real hard upwards. It's basic math people.

Good lord.
If you do a free body diagram of the plane (yes, i'm an engineer), the only forces acting on the plane are the thrust and friction. Thrust easily overcomes the friction created in bearings, tires, etc. and the plane accelerates.
A conveyor may slightly increase the friction, but not nearly enough to equal thrust from the engines and stop the plane from accelerating.
The plane takes off under any conceivable conditions in the given scenario.

Engineers are retarded.
And the school of engineering is easy.

If it was a southwest flight they would make you take off your boob shirt.

Hold the phone now; You don't like Carrie Fisher or Hamburger Helper?
What kind of person says hateful things like that?

So I'm guessing Carrie Fisher driving a 626 filled with Hamburger Helper up to the top of the dash is pretty much on your all-time least favorite list.
