  1. Re:Not so simple on How Many Digits of Pi Does NASA Use? (kottke.org) · · Score: 1

    as someone who did orbital mechanics for thesis, let me tell you the sad news that you are ignorant. In fact, pi needn't even be explicitly used at all for calculating trajectories of body in orbit or changing orbits. Instead pi will come up in the question of time, e.g. when to do something or period of orbit. And 16 digits not needed.

    now that's a laugh, talking about SJW wondering why anyone is still single. That's the epitome of butt-ugly rejects that no man wants, plus the fat greasy slob man-feminists that are part of their online circle

    I'm amused at everyone that thinks South Korea would sit while 233 square miles of Seoul leveled over hours of artillery barrage. Sorry muh niggahs, that not how it would go down. They would START an artillery barrage and then the artillery quickly taken out.

    nah, that's N. Korea "negotiator" blow-hard talk, turning Seoul into "sea of fire". except reality would be very different, and N. K. on the fag end of the deal and they know it

    you would suck at counter-intelligence. the actions of an agency based CA-level compromise would be different than acting on compromising of individual corporations servers.
