It started out as meters per second and got transfered into meters per hour, meaning to be in miles per hours. The miles per hour was just to see something relative that I could fathom as I'm not very good fathoming meters per seconds speed:P
It seems very plausible, but the chances of it actually hitting a target as small as you... not likely. (Although we always get warnings not to shoot straight up around the 4th of July:P )
I'm not sure the bullet would reach terminal velocity, but if it did it would still probably be over 70 miles per hour even with tumbling a little and I'd say that would hurt like a dickens...
I'd have to agree with this, but for another reason. I have a gamecube and xbox already, but no PS2. I'm not "consolist", but I never got around to asking for it and it seems like it should be hitting a cheaper price point soon. Jak and Daxter here I come!
I think the term you were looking for at the beginning of your comment was about razor blades and razor companies... Come to think of it, what is the saying...
Scheme eh? It's under academic languages on Wikipedia... sounds worth a try
Just one question, are there any good books (ie O'Reilly series) out there for it? After VB I would be in the dark on all those fancy things such as pointers.
I myself go to a rural school and was in the gifted program for a number of years. I saw reports that said I scored fairly high on the Stanford-Binet, but I was never told the actual numbers... I suppose to keep me from getting hubris. Anyways, to be in the gifted program a "gifted teacher" woul dhave to come down once a week for about 20 minutes and she would offer seminars and stuff. The only problem was that I wasn't interested in these seminars which seemed to be massive playdays, "hey look at me set my hand on fire! shows, or build a rat trap car deal. When I was a freshman I just plain quit the gifted program, it was one of the biggest wastes of time and kept me from doing an independent study on programming (Visual Basic if you must know, although next year I should be getting curriculum on Javascript).
I also noticed how low the standards were for the gifted program, the test to get in was phenomenally easy...

As does my great and almighty TI-89
How did I miss that...
Oh well, it was worth the learning experience

Hrm, it seems thats meters per hour....
166 MILES per hour it is =D
(I better not let my physics teacher see this....)
So I was looking at the questions and I wondered what the terminal velocity of a bullet was... :P
:D
I'm sure I got some figures wrong somewhere but is 260,000 m/h a reasonable figure for terminal velocity for a bullet?
My calculations (based on Wikipedia mostly)
sqrt((2*7.5g*9.8 m/s^2)/(.295*1.2kg/m^3*74.661912907937mm^2))
In the format of sqrt((2*mass*acceleration due to gravity)/(drag coeffecient*density of fluid it's traveling through*cross sectional area)
Is this within reason? 74.5 m/s or 268,478 m/h
P.S. Sig figs be damned
Or maybe in 100 years they'll wonder why we didn't have the number Qi back in the stupid ages?
Ok, who's Nardz0nFire? No one? Ok... what about one two seven point zero point zero point one?
If you're going to use wiki markup do it right =\
My first idea was /pizza service :(

Yup, and now there are even more sponsored games like the McDonald's challenge...
Hell, there is even a McDonalds in Neopia (I think)
I thought everyone had forgotten about S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Hopefully it fulfills all promises above expectations (especially the AI being able to finish the game if you aren't quick enough)
What's so special about people from Kansas that you included them in your list.
Sir, you make me cry.
My grandmas home cooking and my Wired subscription (Those suckers are *thick*, going to last me allll month until I get the next)

I don't know.... a 0, Funny does have its charms
Ugh, this was supposed to be stuck inbetween those two lines.
We won't be seeing this in any big industry developers until they become their own managers, which we know won't happen 99% of the time
You forgot the Mac Gamer
Oh wait, those don't exist
13. The right to final say in creative disputes regarding the game.
Now, indie developers have this one nailed
That's weed, not grass....

You realize this is how most physics revelations come by, eh?
