   Define "pretty well". I am no sniper, but I suspect these guys are used to hitting targets at distances of 1,000 meters. Wind speed, air temperature and humidity vary over time and space. A good sniper can probably estimate these with some

   "An iPhone app called Bullet Flight enables snipers to calculate range and trajectory for their shots, and built-in satellite-positioning allows local weather conditions to be taken into account. The basic version costs $3.99 and the full

    If such people never have an outbreak, how can they shed the virus? Is the virus present in the mucosae even in the absence of visible blisters?

    You have a point. I am not an expert on the topic, but it seems to me that an asymptomatic HSV carrier cannot infect anyone and, thus, there's no health problem, and no negative effect on one's life. Yes, it's possible to have many sexual p

    Herpes may not kill like HIV does, but it likely makes one wish one were dead. You say it's fine to have herpes, when in reality it is not. At all. It affects your sexual life, hence it affects your personal life as well. A pregnant woman w

    Well, if cargo ships have cabins for passengers, then it's not that optimized, right? It's not about making room for passengers, but about using unused room.

    I speculate that the price is that high because they can afford to charge that much. A cargo ship can take only 12 passengers at most... and there seem to be a few 1000s of people who are really into this kind of traveling. Suppy & dema

    The problem is that even if you can compute everything, you still need to read the result in an expeditious manner.. say, less than the age of the universe. The laws of physics can't be fooled. I will pay attention to quantum computation wh

    Lacking manners and being nice are different things. Yes, generally Americans are nice people. But when at the cafeteria I see people chewing with their mouths open, I often see guys cursing in the presence of women and children, and I see
