Instead of criticizing, you might take pride in the fact that the motorcycle land speed is still the last that isn't set with jet engines dragging rubber across the ground.
"P.S. I like your Hilti analogy. The average do-it-yourselfer does not (and has no need to) know who Hilti is or what kind of products they make. Those who need to know, do."
I'm a gearhead you insensitive clod!!!!
Damn, I was just feeling secure with my toolset. Now it'll be at least another year and half before I'm happy.
By your rationale, I would assume you do not know how to read or write, as once upon a time in the not-too-distant past, you couldn't speak, frequently shit your pants, and crawled around all day eating debris off the floor.
"The exosphere is the uppermost layer of an atmosphere. In the exosphere, an upward travelling molecule can escape to space if it is moving fast enough to attain escape velocity; otherwise it will be pulled back to the celestial body by gravity. In either case, such a molecule is unlikely to collide with another molecule due to the exosphere's low density."
I believe this is the particular line you were referencing? In which case maybe I do grock what you were getting at.
If I understand correctly then the effect is caused when a solar flare blasts against the earth's normal flow of magnetic energy. When the solar flare blasts the earth's atmosphere in a way that we have less friction then there are less storms. When a flare blasts directly against that normal current we get a lot of storms.
My thought is that it's kind of like spraying a ball with a water hose. As you move towards the side of the sphere some of the water follows the surface of the ball all the way around and shoots back in your direction. It seems like fairly strong solar flares would muster up enough energy to flip around the earth and blast back towards the sun, as if we were hit by a flare from the dark side.
Anyways, I'm not a physicist nor do I think the wikipedia article you linked sheds much light on the situation. So, I might be waay off base here.
Exactly. Appealing to populist demand is fucking insanely stupid. Shit, why not put Paris Hilton in the VP office at least we know there will be something good to watch, duh doy dee duh doy dee duh.
The belief that running a business is synonymous with having a good product or providing a decent service is the great flaw in capitalism.
They are correlated, but not directly. There are many variables that affect a good business. If a business person is good at business, but isn't all that great at serving the core product, or knows enough about serving the core product to hire up from his/her own talents, then they ought to learn how to recognize the difference between change for the sake of change and change for the sake of improved quality, efficiency, or a broader market.
The broken window fallacy is a great example of how the free market will reward short-sighted and destructive strategies.
Yea, I'm getting sick of this Firefox doesn't crash shit. Someone needs to start modding these fanbois troll. Not that I don't like FF, but it doesn't shit golden bricks either.
murp! sorry, my "play" account is up 5.2%. I stand on the assertion that most of my profits will realize off in the not too distant future. That said, with real money I've seen 500% profits in as little as three months with commodities. I don't see anything wrong with someone investing a specified amount of money in gold each month.
I got really interested in the stock market was heading down for record lows. Did a little research and some rabid buying:D I made a lot of mistakes in hindsight, yet I'm still up 52% now, but I expect most of my profits to realize over the next year. The commodities market is a different beast altogether. In this respect you'll find that the reality is that a lot of a companies' value is derived from it's ability to invest in hard goods.
If you plan on outsourcing to India you need to effectively gauge the exchange rate of the Indian Rupee over the period of time needed for an acceptable ROI. This is the same principle behind GP's investment strategy as gold will always rise in value as fiat currencies begin to look unstable.
True some people get gold fever, but there is some method to the madness.

" the *motorbike* land speed "
erm, had to fix that.
The monicker "streamliner" defines the bike as a different class of motorcycle with historical precendent.
If this is the car http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThrustSSC and this is the trike http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirit_of_America, then I don't see why the streamliner can't be the bike.

That depends on how they read the data, doesn't it. I mean if more useless gits respond from Idaho...

IE ain't bad, but what they're going on about here seems a little ridiculous.

There's nothing to understand about it. It's equivalent to saying that schools shouldn't have janitors.
