The termination shock is the region of the heliosphere where the supersonic solar wind slows to subsonic speed as it merges with the interstellar medium.
Why is anything relating to the sound-barrier even mentioned in this article? I was under the impression that there was no sound in the vacuum of space.
why not just define a kg as 1 Liter of pure H2O at 4deg C?....it is that way anyway.
One would probably run into the same problem of precisely defining what the liter is. We'd be back to counting molecules of water instead of atoms of silicon.
Silicon atom count would probably be a better way to establish the kilogram on than molecules of liquid water (no evaporation, no sloshing about and losing a few drops here and there, etc...)

...I was hoping for a leopluradon. A magical leopluradon.
I don't know who tagged this story with the keyword "pussy", but I feel bad for the guy if the smell was THAT bad!
I agree. Honestly I never thought much about which DNS service I use, but I know that I don't like my ISP in control of it.
Can anyone suggest other DNS services that might be better than openDNS?
Thanks
