Car won't start - battery won't accept a jump

Nope, if you disconnect the battery, it will not run. The alternator couldn't power the vehicle because the power it generates fluctuates as the RPMs change, that and disconnecting the battery severs the connection, so it's no longer connected anyway.

All the rigs I've had will run with out a battery once you jump them. If you turn on to many elec accesories you can kill the motor though (ie off road lights)

I should have stated that It was relative to the operator's observations.

It's actually a quote from Steven Wright (comedian). He said he went in for a job interview and the interviewer asked him if he had any questions, so he asked "If you're driving your car at the speed of light and you turn on your headlights, does anything happen?" The interviewer replied "well, um, I don't know" to which Steven replied "Then I don't want to work here".
