Dont forget also to take into account the rotation of the planet and the lack of complete mapping of it yet (Coriolis etc). In any case imagine some 370+ m/s type thing when finally decided how from some computer/ephimeris program.
As for the rest of the post, i deleted how i wanted to respond to you out of respect for the forum and eventually you too. Just a warning though. If you do not change your permanently sarcastic insulting style towards me and others (plus i never called what you say elsewhere silly, even when i disagree with it, and i offer reasons then because i care for you) and convert all your criticism to well intentioned proper suggestions (that are encouraged from all real friends) with examples to support the arguments, i will quickly reach a point of not caring enough to respond to you ever again.
My interaction with you is not a facking game for me. I value your input and i never play games with you as if you are part of some social experiment i do for my own amusement. My fellow posters in SMP are not my toys...i respect and embrace their humanity moreover our differences and i do not see them as targets for fun and games. My presence here is not some audition for some Charles Dickens story 19th century orphanage teacher role or some Aristophanes' comedy to caricature philosophers/thinkers of his time. I choose my time here to be a pleasant experience. I leave it to you how pleasant it is to have to spend time to childish insults and games thrown at each other instead of actual exchange of information and ideas and occasional properly designed humor that is creative and is offered at the expense of nobody here.
You should take some anti-crankiness pills. You aren't my fault.
Have you made any important discoveries in physics based on your time screwing here? Half of an idea? A quarter of an idea? What benefit have you derived other than what you would obtain from taking a lunch break?
How about any new insights into experimentation and design? Anything that would not have occurred to you if it weren't for you screwing around here instead of doing something productive with your time? What benefit have you derived other than what you would obtain from taking a lunch break?
That sounds harsh, but I am very much for a wonderful life of achieving nothing, so it is the opposite of harsh. I think that you screwing around here is a fine and honorable use of your time (it is laudable to collect a paycheck while 'facking' around on the internet instead of doing anything productive!), for it amounts to nothing! You seem, at times, to want to aim for something higher than a forgotten life, so why are you here? What benefit do you derive from screwing around here instead of doing work?
(not counting your work in helping people with their intro to adding and subtracting work in this)
