hmm yeah, hence the old jet pack thing to use to break relative to the earth when getting closer.
Kind of like crossing a roundabout from a point on the outside to a point opposite on the inside, you would appear to be moving in a straight line between the 2 points, but actually going diagonally against the rotation.
Then again the math would be hell, and I'm sure if it was possible they'd have already tried bringing spacecraft in that way as there must be advantages to doing it at mach 1.5 rather than mach 15 (or 30 whichever of the above was right)
Surely there's someone here who can give us an estimate of how long it would take?
31.25 miles is a bit too big too contemplate, but time, well I could sit here watching the clock going, 'still falling..........still falling..........................still falling........................................... ..............still falling........................................... .......................................................................................... ................................still falling'
Unlike our hypothetical space shuttle parachutist,Stearns will not burn up in the atmosphere from air friction because she'll not be moving around the Earth at high orbital speeds.
So it would be possible to dive in from space if you were in a geostationary orbit?
Maybe with a jet pack to kill any excess speed relative to the Earth as you get closer.
and saying: "Law enforcement couldn't hack their way out of a wet paper bag. They're people who get paid to do nothing. They never actually catch anybody." probably wasn't really that wise:P
people who get their life on a plate don't try hard. The person above the person I replied to was recommending doing away with poor people, kinda like the PRC system, but more 'no money, no kids'.
I was just positing that if you don't need to achieve anything then you won't. And that any such system such as s/he was propsing will eventually lead to a decline in innovation, check out the romans and us british.
And yeah sorry about the fortune bit, I used to have pure beijing mandarin (beuatiful language) but I was corrupted by malaysian chinese....
they're very economic....
also sorry, I was just pissed of by that harry guy, I mean if you want to sell snake oil you should at the very least have dancing girls:)
the only good polition is a lost one, in a dark room where we have knives.
yup, try http://www.granitecanyon.com/ they offer a free DNS service (to non business users), as well as secondary DNS if that's all you want. Web based setup as well, wish I wasn't stuck with this dynamic IP 56k line, oh well, the scenery's nice...
Alternatively there is a page somewhere where people get together and swap secondaries, to get round that. Think it is probably linked from the granite canyon page somewhere...

Users who recently... what?????
Gotta admit I don't find that as surprising as the fact penguins do, always thought penguins were quite bright.
Is that a word?
If not I vote it be made one immediately, so much more _emphatic_ than 'broken'

Your keyboard probably has the letter 'u' on it, hit it a couple of times, you will be where you want to be. oh yeah and I don't care.
