Most banks already handle transactions down to the 6th decimal place. My bank account at any given time could have a certain number of thousandths of a cent in it.
I've worked in the USA, Europe and the UK. I've never had a bank account with more than 2 decimal places. What's more, I work on business & accounting software, and the only times I've seen that use a resolution finer than what's available in the local currency is for highly specialised functions - and even then, it's only for internal, intermediate calculations.
That's got more to do with respriation than gravitation. Or do you really belive you convert more gravitational potential energy to kinetic on the downhills than you lose on the uphill parts?
The person may be able to see, and do everything else involved in hunting, but not well enough to aim at a target 50 yards away.

Actually I have, a little bit. Did some of the strikes you learned involve gripping in a way that might not be ideal if the last foot of each end was like a naginata? Perhaps I didn't make myself clear, but I meant with two sharp ends. I can't think of any ancient or medieval (European) weapons that have cutty bits at both ends.
Maybe the Swiss tried a combined halberd/bill/glaive/corkscrew that all folds up and fits in your pocket... I'd sure like to see a picture of it.
"Programming" has been evolving towards higher and higher levels of abstraction. At some point a business analyst will be able to simply ask for what they need and a system will auto-magically analyze the request, write the code and execute it
I've got some guy called Brooks on the other line...
I don't see any mention of Benny Hill from "The Italian Job" (the good one, I mean). Even if he's not the best hacker, the fact that the target's a mainframe with all those reels of tape going round must make him a contender for frist hax0r.
How hard would it be to 1) work out where it's dark and 2) show picttures from those regions taken just before it got dark 3) work out wwhen those regions get light again and update the photo at that point?
I don't get it, [1] IE7 probably [2] more secure [3]

To put it another way: I call bullshit.

They might mean Vergina, but it's all Greek to me.
You could use a space elevator and a bucket. A really big bucket.
At least their user friendly what do what?

Double ended (as distinct from double edged) weapons might look kewl, but in reality you'd probably chop your own legs off using one.

I'm from Finland, you insensitive clod!
Ah, but historically Austria has always been part of Greater Germany.
You could ask the same question about men who kick|throw|hit a ball round a field. And it would still be a stupid question.
In Germany, they tell Bavarian jokes[1]. He'll probably want to ban those next.
[1] I think - obviously it's based on a very small sample.
It's for this reason a bow launches an arrow faster than you can throw it, even though the power source is tha same.
Will the odd numbered ones be good and the even numbered ones bad? Or the other way round?
