Six minutes to target at the maximum range. That's plenty of time for the point of impact to change from ship to seawater.
And, as has already been pointed out, the projectile will have a guidance system. You don't necessarily need an enormous amount of power to change the trajectory, just the ability to steal some of the projectile's kinetic energy.
The light will always travel at the speed of light, but it is absorbed and re-emitted by the medium, which takes a certain amount of time. This causes the average speed to be slower than the speed of light. So no, quoting the average speed as a percentage of the speed of light is not really an error.

Are you talking about having windows on the main desktop? The window manager would go on the host in this case, and you can just use the normal X11 server to do this. Just set up an SSH tunnel to the VM, or run it through the VM's network adaptor.
Valve sell Counter-Strike Source separately as well. As for people who got it with Half-Life 2, they in no way received it for free. It is owned by Valve, and it is advertised as part of the product (Half-Life 2).
In what way is a piece of software free if the company that owns it requires you to buy it on its own or with another product?
In SA it's the same, and zero for learners, provisionals, and instructors. I'm surprised Americans always seem to think of 0.08 as horrendously low. Although I'd have to say that zero is a little bit too low for provisionals, since it effectively means you need to wait 24h or so after drinking at all to be sure of it (since >0 means losing the licence).
I think there was an Attenborough documentary from a while back in which he had his reaction time tested, had a couple of glasses of wine, and had it tested again, to his significant impairment (double IIRC).
Given that, according to that article, the procedures in place would not have allowed a launch even if he had reported it, it's not as good an example as one would imagine. This would probably be a better one. Arkhipov was an officer on a submarine that was attacked during the Cuban Missile Crisis who vetoed the Captain and political officer's orders to launch their missiles.
The article states that that is not true, but rather that a scheduled release of water was brought ahead after a government agency suggested that he do it to raise some publicity for the cause shared by the head of the agency.
Haven't seen much of that where I am, but, then again, I'm a student in the more advanced classes in a Top5 public school. The senior school down here is mostly run in such a way that if you're not actively disturbing other students, you're free to spend the whole lesson talking instead of working, and obviously fail. Most of those who are aiming to go to Uni tend to get on track fairly well. It helps that students actually like a lot of the teachers. And the ones that they don't, they tend not to bother , to avoid a whole lot of pain, up to and including a 15 minute rant about Chechnya.
But then again, 13-15 year olds are idiots, and I'm at a public school, so things may be completely different over here. I've certainly never heard a case of parents threatening to sue here.
Actually, I believe that the instinct to lick a wound is because saliva contains Lysozyme, which makes it easier for white blood cells to engulf a bacterium. Its presence in tears is one of the reasons that you cry when you get something in your eyes.
They have fixed it. My understanding is that the problem stemmed from the usage of Windows in the production process, which infected it in the first place.
Blaming the victim or victim OS is a cheap shot. While I give props to Apple for providing solutions, blaming Windows is a low blow in an attempt to shift the blame.
I believe Windows was used in the manufacturing process by one of the contracters for QA.
JFK wasn't--and because of that, he probably saved a lot of people's lives.
There was also the possibility of the Soviets attacking. It's not as though JFK didn't intend to attack; the invasion was scheduled for the day after Khrushchev backed down.
Had the air force not been so slow about removing the missiles from Turkey (Kennedy had ordered them removed in 1961, IIRC) he might not have had anything to negotiate the removal of the missiles from Cuba. But then again, the Soviets might not have felt pressured to put missiles in Cuba.
Because if they lose, they have to pay. Which even corporations can only afford that often.
I'm assuming that the judge can overrule that though, correct? Otherwise the more impressive legal teams that corporations may have access to would need to be paid for by individuals who try to fight something but lose, which hardly seems fair.

Why not just close the gate?
One would assume that they are not native speakers and wouldn't notice the lacklustre Swedish in the emails.

It is. The comparison was between Matroska and Ogg, which are both container formats.

Allofmp3.com pays ROMS, which pay you royalties if you ask. I'd hardly consider it pirated.
Supposedly when a user uses a non-TrustedDWG file, they are told that files from competitors' software may cause stability problems.

Would you be happy with "One licence, one CD player"?
Here it is.
Spamhaus is the good one, it's SPEWS that has those problems IIRC.

Since it may involve giving up all of your business software, heavily damaging your business, I'd hardly consider it optional.
Even easier actually. All you have to do is run the point update and copy the pk3s off of the disc.
