You may be correct but I have always heard/believed that the sonic boom was a single event happening as an object passes the speed of sound (and I am a bit of a Discovery chan junky). I have seen planes fly by at greater than the speed of sound and heard no sonic boom, they are loud but not that loud.
Just a couple days ago my son asked me if a bullet makes a sonic boom? (for the record I don't own a gun) I thought about it for a sec. and came to the conclusion that it probably doesn't or it makes a VERY small one. A bullet is traveling at faster then the speed of sound almost instantaneously. There would be no time for sound to build up in front of it, That was my thought anyway. I don't see a way to help NASA with that info but was an interesting question.
I install Wild Blue satellite internet, their top package caps at about 20GB a month, if you go over, your speed is dropped from 1.5 MBps to 256 KBps and if you abuse it further they will cut you off entirely. We have had some people who have been banned from Comcast for over usage try to sign up with WB. We tell them if you used too much on Comcast you'll go through WB's limit in a few days and won't sell it to them.
I did some research to find out what Comcast's limit was and the only thing I could come up with was an "unwritten" rule of about 100GB/month. But "unlimited" or not people do get banned/kicked off Comcast for over usage. I was in one customer's house before we found out about their usage issues, they had literally 1000's of burned DVD's in cases in his computer room, not hard to figure what he uses his bandwidth for.
No, this is Peter Gabriel. The guy who sang "Red Rain" and "Games Without Frontiers", who did the Last Temptation of Christ Soundtrack, who fronted Genesis when Genesis was the most amazing Prog-Rock band on Earth. The one who's up there with David Byrne and Brian Eno as popular and respected trailblazing musicians who've transcended their pop roots.
You're thinking of Peter Cetera. Of Chicago and The Karate Kid 2 Soundtrack. I assume you're young, so it's an understandable mistake.
Agreed, if you want a good sample of P.G. check out the "Growing up Tour" availabe here. Here are 3 songs from it; "Growing Up","SledgeHammer", and "Solsbury Hill". If you have Dish Network HD, check it out on "Rave" chan 9470, It is awsome in HD.
"In your eyes" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. If you don't know PG you should, unless your a rap fan, then he's probably not for you.
if there was a species (or subspecies) in the Homo line that could be defined by a radically different form (ie tiny size below anything seen in modern times), that would be interesting.
The real question is do they have beards or furry feet?
You're not supposed to worship him because he's a nice guy, you're supposed to worship him because if you don't you'll burn in a lake of fire for all eternity.
If I was going to worship a "god", it wouldn't be one as arrogant and egotistical as that.
Thanks, my thought was that the pull from Earth might have to much of an effect on it to maintain a stable orbit, but I guess that doesn't really make sense. About the orbiter, will it be able to take high enough resolution pictures to see the lunar landers and put the "Moon landing was faked" argument to rest?
IT SUCKS!!! I install WildBlue, 1 of the 2 main Sat. ISP's. It doesn't matter how fast the connection speed is, the latency SUCKs. It averages 1200-1800 ms (no that's not a typo, check it out if you want). You can not play online games, outside of backgammon. The only thing I can say for it is, it is better than dial-up, although you can play some online games w/dial-up.
Out of the 4 PS3 models so far, 20, 40, 60 & 80 the 40 gig is the only one that doesn't play PS2 games. The 20 & 60 have a built in PS2 "emotion engine" and play PS2 games perfectly. The 80 gig model (also 60 gig pal version) uses software emulation and currently plays ~55% of PS2 games without problem (check here), the other 45% have problems of some sort or another, although future software updates may increase compatibility. Here is the Wiki link, explaining it all.
When I was young, probably ~10, I was in bed and looked at a shoe on the floor, but for some reason I didn't see it as a shoe and for a few long seconds I could not tell what is was at all. Then all the sudden it "came into focus", so to speak, as a shoe and it was obviously a shoe, plain as day. I came to the conclusion that if something is viewed "out of context" (even though my shoe really wasn't) it can have a great impact on how you see or recognize it. Guess I should have published that finding 30 years ago.
I have to exert force & expend energy to stand up or to hold a mass in a stationary position. Why can't Gravity be harnessed as an energy source without moving parts? Gravity has enough power to bend light & heat the center of the earth to ~7000 Celsius. It is a constant force pulling on us, why can't that force be harnessed directly?
How long till this, in some form, is used to increase breast size? It seems growing a jaw would be more difficult than growing new/more breast tissue, and they would be "real". Just inject some "breast stem cells" directly into the breast and watch em grow:). I for one welcome our new larger breast female overlords.

CART MASTER: 'Ere. He says he's not dead!
CUSTOMER: Yes, he is.
HD DVD: I'm not!
CART MASTER: He isn't?
CUSTOMER: Well, he will be soon. He's very ill.
HD DVD: I'm getting better!
CUSTOMER: No, you're not. You'll be stone dead in a moment.

CART MASTER: Thursday.
HD DVD: I think I'll go for a walk.
CUSTOMER: You're not fooling anyone, you know. Look. Isn't there something you can do?
HD DVD: [singing] I feel happy. I feel happy. [whop]
CUSTOMER: Ah, thanks very much.
CART MASTER: Not at all. See you on Thursday.

King Arthur must have come up with that.

I looked up bullet speed online and everyone I found was multiple times the speed of sound, I think only a BB or pellet gun is subsonic.
It could be but I kinda figured it was the explosion of the gun powder

Just last week my son said something that made me wonder, "could we put a satellite in orbit around our moon"?
I am rather partial to breathable air.
I take it you don't live in LA then?
