Actualy you are all wrong. Because he is decelerating, he will never slow down to the acctual speed of terminal velocity in his current atmosphere. The momentum from his free space fall will impeed him from slowing to terminal velocity during the free fall portion of his jump. terminal velocity is a velocity that is reached through accereration, not deceleration.
From what I have heard we get it alright up in Canada. For high-speed we pay about $25 US for ADSL or cable, and get speeds of ~1200kb/s down and 400kb/s up. If you subscribe to DSL you also get decent uptime and constant service, Shaw has been less than accomidating with it's cable service in my opinion, so i _now_ use telus' ADSL.
I assume telus has a full duplex connection, anyone know why we get better down then up?
Opps. I'm posting on a windows box at some party. Yes, I'm posting/. well at a party. IE responded.... like a microsoft product. Anyhow, in response to this:
What will really decide the fate of this game is whether or not it can run on low-end machines (P200, 64MB RAM, 3 GB HD, NO 3-D Accelerator). A Mac release would also help the popularity.
I have some buds who are very non-ignorant in the MMORPG / Gaming industry and they tell me that people with slow computers (200MHz) make up a very small part of the (gaming) market, a part that already occupys itself with MUD's and older games.
With no specific people in mind, I would contend that mainly people with slow computers suggest this. Am I realy out on a limb on this one? I gett the feeling I'm not.
Hey... I'm currently on a 350MHz 320MB comp and it's the slowest (not just cause of the OS) that anyone I know is running for anything other than a firewall or secondary computer.
On another note if it works on a 200MHz box then all the better for my 750 mhz chunk of scrap metal. Enough from me now.

If anyone wants to learn about globalization, Fred McMahon (Director of the Center for Globalization Studies) Would probalbly be happy to teach you a bit.
I would say globalization when talked about in mass media and by polititions, is about Free trade among the world, not sharing governments or culture, those are just posible outcomes of co-operation.
ArsDigita uses Redhat+Oracle+AOLserver in its Arsdigita Community System (ACS).
Phillup Greenspun (MIT) Started the company. Now he sits on the board as a major shareholder, he mentioned in an email "I didn't get along with all the business men and venture capitolist I highered."
As far as i know this is the biggest company that sets up Big Business RDBMS on linux. So far Siemens and The World Bank are thier biggest coustomers.
I'm just learning ACS now and it's quite interesting, however the fact that AOLserver uses TCL scares some away.
Oh, it works by the way! AOL serves over ten thousand hits per second with this architecture.
I tend to post in point form, perhaps i'm just lazy or busy or somthing, hope this info is useful to someone, it's my 1st/. post...

Alpha Centauri is my favorite game for any OS, _ever_ but thats just me. If you like freeciv or strategy games in general, try it.
