Selective pricing... like when Virginia Tech charged me an extra $30 per credit hour for my engineering classes.

I played on a 56k modem that averaged to about 500ms. You quickly learn how to lead railgun shots.

This can be done with a window tiling manager, like my setup of awesome wm and arch distro. I never use the mouse, have plenty of window layouts, and use keyboard to manipulate everything on the screen.

Surface roughness can be used to transition the boundary layer from a laminar to a turbulent flow. Early separation on an airfoil causes an increase in drag. You can trip the flow with surface roughness, suction/blowing, trip wire, etc to make it turbulent and repair the separation.

Now relating to the article I am guessing they have a turbulent boundary layer which is why sand particles are being sucked in and slammed against the blade. Having a laminar BL would prevent sand from entering it?

One of the reasons I took a chance on buying Xbox 1 was that I knew Microsoft would keep pumping money into it instead of letting it failed. That Xmas morning with my brother was a blast playing Halo campaign in co-op mode!

I found this tutorial great for showing how linear algebra relates to gaming: http://blog.wolfire.com/2009/07/linear-algebra-for-game-developers-part-1/ I wish my linear algebra teacher taught this way, we never got any real life examples, just straight plug and chug linear problems. I went to Virginia Tech, freshmen math classes are a big disappointment there.

I been using Facebook Blocker add-on for Chrome (works with Firefox, etc) and I assume it is working behind the scenes: http://webgraph.com/resources/facebookblocker/

All my engineering and aerospace books for school say "Not for Sale in US", do bookstores really think I am going to drop $1000?

I pay 16 euros for 3 months (~$22) for BlackVPN in the Netherlands. Plus I get free months when I search for referral codes or give my friends mine.

Just signed onto Kazaalite, and there are only 3,243,065 users currently on. I think the RIAA suceeded in making sure those listed in the article don't increase that number...

And I been boycotting the RIAA since Napster was beta :)
