Obscure Economist writes "The Social Science Research Network (SSRN, http://www.ssrn.com) has just posted a free download of "On Virtual Economies," a new broad-focused study of the market for MMORPGs. Think of it as a less descriptive, but more predictive, follow-up to my paper on the EverQuest economy of last spring.

Bullet speeds... by Dareth · 2002-10-22 12:21 · Score: 1, Offtopic

I load ammunition for my 6.5x55 mm Swedish Mauser.. a nice little carbine (short barelled rifle) and the bullet speed is on the order of 3000 fps (feet per second) and is only a moderate load. You do the math, a lot faster than 100mph. : )
