um, he named the character Achilles because he had a limp in the first book.. actually the other street kids named him that as a joke...
makes sense to me
I would like to redirect requests to my site from Altavista to say... yahoo.com instead... How do I do that?

Space Diving

Um, on the first attempt the guy almost was stuck in the 'capsule', more like gondaola, they sent up. And I think he almost dies on that (or the second) attempt when a glove failed.
Gotta rememebr from that altitude, the diver would exceed the speed of sound and be very aerodynamically unstable, a potentially life threatening problem...
Girl called Helpdesk with a computer having trouble... would not boot right. Asked if she installed any new software. She said yes, got a new word processor from Wal-Mart. She said she didn't know what to get so she asked counter guy... He gave her software to get. Helpdesk guy asked what the software was.... she said it was something called Redhat.
She managed to install RH over her Windows install, of course did not back up. Then asked if she had restore disks... didn't know. Tech asked where she got computer... she replied Helig-Meyers (a furniture store, here in the South).
Well, I am a physicist, and I don't have a clue what this guy is arguing....
It looks like he is manipulating formulae in an odd manner...
And it looks like he is glossing over most, if not all, of General Relativity when it comes to spacetime, tensors, etc.
Even so, where do these photons come from? At what frequency do they have to be? At what power? Probably be so intense they'd ionize, if not completely shred, every atom nearby, including you and your spaceship. And he talks about cross-sections between the photon and graviton... Talk about mixing relativity and quantum mechanics! Not good...
At some level, this is all trickery, like Cold Fusion. Most physicists knew immediately that Pons and Fleishmann did not produce the level of neutrons they claimed, because if they had they would have been dead.
Now, I have heard a talk about negative matter (and negative anti-matter) which react like (-m) instead of (+m) in F=ma and F=GMm/r^2. But when a (-m) piece of matter runs into (+m) matter, they anihilate leaving E=0 ! Maybe the guy needs some of this stuff to build his shield. Dunno how tho... Even odder negative matter generates negative photons...

I buy an N64 to play F1 games... Ubisoft et al. don't release them here in the US.
I buy a DC to play F1 games... Sega dumps the system, then Ubisoft et al. don't release the games here.
Perhaps I should buy a PS2, PC, or Xbox so it'll go off the market too?
Anyone want to make a contribution so I can put their least favorite gaming platform out of business?

That very egocentric of you... Perhaps you also believe that the Sun revolves around the Earth....

I finished reading it last week and its a fantastic book...

This is a true story..

No I'm not kidding...
Boy, you are really clueless...
uh, it was bad because it was a tired rehash of things we've seen before and spent too much time on 'neato' special effects...
so what? the movie was bad. also, don't believe it 'til you see it...
hehe
