40mm grenade launchers fire at much lower velocities than this 25mm round, simply put because force equals mass times acceleration. The 25mm grenades weigh a tiny fraction of a 40mm round.
Also, the Mk19 uses "high velocity" grenades, whereas the shoulder fired grenades travel at around 250 m/s and have a maximum range of around 400 meters. The big boy grenades have a maximum range of 2,000 meters.
If you could fit a high velocity grenade in an M203/M79 (which you can't because they're longer), the recoil from the Mk19 grenades would put a hard charging Marine right on his ass and probably break his shoulder.
Clusterfuck is a very good term for it. I knew some people who worked there and it was just insane. Towards the end employees went months without getting paid, some left for greener pastures which was complicated by the economic meltdown occurring at the time. Others kept grinding away on a project they had already put so many hours into, supported by savings or spouses employed elsewhere.
Once again the Stargate IP continues to prove it's cursed.
Helps explain why it's hard to wean us off liquid hydrocarbon fuels. Although a significant chunk of the difference is that gasoline requires oxygen whereas TNT contains all the oxidizer it needs. I think gasoline plus the oxygen needed is "only" around 3 times the energy density of TNT.
I like the concept of a pure electric drive system with a lightweight turbine generator onboard. One problem there is that turbine bearings suffer exponentially greater damage from startups and shutdowns than from nominal operating speeds. Foil bearings do not like slow speed operation.
The FAA needs to mandate the integration of peer-to-peer ecologies utilizing embedded synergies that create semantic communities and syndicate social mashups as well as capture rich-client dynamic APIs with aggregated long-tail feeds.
Game programmers are not responsible for coddling poorly cooled video card hardware, game programmers are supposed to flog video card hardware within an inch of its life. Video cards that melt while operating under a well defined API (Direct3D or OpenGL for example) are defective.
I was at the Home Depot today and saw you can buy a device which emits TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY WATTS of ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION! Oooga boooga! The radiation is gonna git ya!
To "fix" that they would need to do something like model the inertia of the weapon, that is your crosshairs would not be locked to the center of your screen. If you use crazy high mouse sensitivity to whip 180 degrees in a tenth of a second the crosshairs should lag way behind that and then continue moving past center after you stop. It's the difference in pointing a 2 ounce laser pointer versus a 15 pound rifle.
$200 is a bargain for a midrange gaming video card. Computer part price vs performance is a hockey stick, it always has been. You pay 80% of the price for the last 20% of performance. But for some people that last 20% is worth paying for.
Right now you can get a GeForce 240 512MB card for $98.00 with a 3DMark Vantage score of 6130 or a Radeon 5670 that scores 6223 for $99.99. This GTX 460 gets a 3DMark Vantage score of 14700. So on a price per performance measure, yes, it is a bargain.
All snarking aside - this is a case of Verizon forgetting who they work for. They work for the Shareholders - NOT the Customers. They have to keep "what is best for Shareholders" in mind when dealing with money.
A while back I ended up having to make a graph of MPG and gallons of fuel consumed assuming a fixed number of miles driven to illustrate this to people who didn't get it.
My guess is the cloned version of Kim Jong is in the works. They'll use this drink to explain how he suddenly went from old and feeble to an 18 year old overnight.
For sailors: By using a propeller rather than a sail, the "sail" this boat is using is simulating a continuous optimal downwind tack (the propeller blades are at a tack angle to the wind)
Thank you. That made the entire concept ring like a giant bell in my head. So they're using the propeller angle to "fake" like an ideally tacking sail on a ship traveling perpendicular to the wind (since the blade is perpendicular to the wind, unlike a sail).

Do they test gasoline powered vehicles with tanks full of gasoline? If not, why are they testing EVs with live battery packs?

Ack, 250 feet per second, not m/s for the shoulder fired grenades.

That GM 3.8L V6 was an awesome engine, cheap to work on, reliable, loved it. Now you can only get it in something like a Buick land yacht though.

The game that gave me the 10-key skills I have to this day.

Web 2.0 bullshit generators are fun!
It was Denon selling the $800 1.5m 10BaseT cable.
Go fuck yourself. Seriously.

How about "begs the question" used as "raises the question"? I know it's a lost cause but it still causes my eye to twitch.
But keep it the hell out of science classes because intelligent design is just re-worded creationism and is NOT SCIENCE.

I took prices right off Newegg, imaginary magical sales were not taken into account.

Legitimate? Intelligent? USEFUL? Blizzard forums? That's a good one!

When the wind stops, so does the car?
