>> Since the final S stands for "second", conservative speakers consider "FLOPS" as both the singular and plural of the term, although the singular "FLOP" is frequently encountered. Alternatively, the singular FLOP (or flop) is used as an abbreviation for "FLoating-point OPeration", and a flop count is a count of these operations (e.g., required by a given algorithm or computer program). In this context, "flops" is simply the plural rather than a rate, which would then be "flop/s".
I was taught to keep my eyes either closed or on the track below me (chin on the chest) so as to not mess with concentration.. never seen a sprinter looking around at the start..
As others already pointed out, you're not exactly a math genious.
Also, the article mentions they take a shitload of images and detemine the winner this way (-> http://goo.gl/vKZFa - chest is, what counts).
Furthermore the speed of sound could easily explain a difference of let's say 0.02s (equivalent to ~ 6.5m) and as you said yourself, sometimes that does make the difference.
same as jmorris42, bought a ThinkPad X201 about a year ago, which only has VGA out.
Also got 2 Dell WUXGA-Displays (24'') with VGA, DVI, Displayport, even an USB-HUB and guess what? No HDMI.. also they were initially released in August 2011, so no CRT;)

Ahm - that's just plain wrong and not funny or anything.. or am I just not getting it? o.O
In case, you're serious: for this effect to be noticeable, the object has to be
a liiiittle bit more massive, then a planet could ever be.
I can assure you: that's still how it is. You install the appropriate version of the library - et voilà, it works!
