Air is Air.
Its like water.
Doesn't matter if theres a foot or 100 feet of water. Or if its aerated or thickened. You hit it fast enough its still gonna stop you, and it will still feel like your hitting a brick wall.

I realize that the atmosphere is thinner. Just means an meteorite needs to have a slower relative speed to not make a giant crater.

As a previous reply pointed out, many things effect the relitive speed of a meteorite.

Look at the size of that rock. It didn't make a crater the size of a house, all it did was add an easy access hole to someones trunk. And roof.
I imagine by the time a rock that size passes through the atmosphere and survives, its moving slow enough to rebound off the surface, or, in this case, get stopped by a car.

My DSL is rated at 3mbps, ive hit 3.2-3.6mbps in the past. Don't normally hit that though. Mean speed is ~350KBps, with steam downloading at ~400MBps now(its almost 10PM)

When i had FIOS, i could usually max out my speed with a good large download(ubuntu torrent for example), but when i was on cable, i don't think i ever maxed it out, or came close.

You know the fancy physics, like a plywood board exploding into 400 pieces and sending each pieces of shrapnel in every direction, or maybe a house that breaks into a million peaces when it collapses? Good luck running those calculations on your CPU, WHILE keeping your frame rate up
openCL lets you offload work to the GPU.
Given physics is all i can think of, its like nVidia's CUDA. CUDA is limited to nvidia cards, but openCL is designed to let you write one piece of code, and run it on the CPU, or any supported GPUs

So we start building our homes and spacechips like the Wraith in Stargate Atlantis.
And then when your stranded in the middle of space, you can just eat your ship

Hay, some of us have Unicode support, unlike slashdot

I remember a story of someone who when driving with a driving instructor hit and killed someone. No one was sent to jail.
Apparently the person ran into the road, and the new driver hit the wrong pedal.
The driving instructor could not hit his break in time.
Why should either of them go to jail?

He got rid of it because he was also getting rid of 5 other printers and a huge load of other stuff since he was moving.
He thought the issue was with the toner. After i did some looking when i got it, i found the issue was with the drum.

Also, your telling me a generic drum won't work? Looking online, i can find them for $30-40
I'm sure its not "As good"
I probably have a couple thousand(easy) prints left with this current one. I'm not using it for anything official or any high load jobs, so it might be a year before i need to think of a new drum.

I bought a Brother HL-2140 used for $35(great deal there)
It came with a new toner cartage(guy said he bought it and hasn't printed much)
Only issue is the drum is old, but it works great.

I love the smell and heat of a freshly printed stack of paper. Try finding someone who loves a fresh printed stack of paper from an inkjet

OR he could just buy another tank so he doesn't run out again.

Yeah, wonder how safe that is. The neighborhood has a couple thousand tons of hydrogen in buried tanks.

Iraq was to fight the "War on terror"
Afghanistan was a response to the attacks on 9/11 with the ultimate goal to capture/kill osama bin laden(which we still haven't done)
I hate when people think that both are for the same reason. Iraq was a response to some stuff that occurred int he 70s and 80s, and with the attacks on 9/11, Bush decided it would be a good idea to take care of the weapons of mass destruction that he thought Iraq still had. Back in the 70s and 80s, The leaders of iraq made and tested many weapons of mass destruction, including gases like mustard gas, tabun, botulin toxin and mycotoxin(wikipedia) They also apparently got close to nuclear weapons.
In the late 80s and early 90s, the UN told Iraq to dismantle and destroy these weapons. Iraq complied. The issue was bush didn't think they did comply, and that they continued to produce weapons(which wasn't true)

I never fully supported Iraq, but i will continue to support Afghanistan. Mainly because most of the people that live there still support osama bin laden.

There is a really fancy file in windows called the HOST file.
Mine contains about 20000 hosts that point to 0.0.0.0. Most of it is advertisement sub domains, along with malware, phishing, and tracking sites.

After putting that up chrome is faster, and combined with chromes adblock, i don't see the iframes that say "this page could not be loaded"
