    Last night my girlfriend spilled half a glass of red vine on her portable computer (mainly on a keyboard). (In case you wandered, she's brunette) I turned in off immediately, flipped it upside down and dried overnight. The laptop is dry now but it would not start. Is there a way for fix the problem without taking it to a store?

    Why don't you join us for a camp in AZ? We are still looking for a team to split 6h in SVA.

    The funniest BL I saw in a tunnel was when my favorite tail was trying to tell the rest of the team that they are all wrong (and he was right).

    Was it at Skydive Dallas by any chance ?

    The speed does change sometimes but that's not the major cause or your 'problem' . Unlike actual freefall, in a tunnel you have to fly in restricted column of air. The tunnel is less forgiving to any inperfection in your flying (like sliding around) which is pretty normal for you experience level. I would bet that you experience the same problems in freefall but you cannot really identify them because of lack of stable reference (like the walls in a tunnel). Don't get frustrated - the tunnel is amazing tool that teaches you how to skydive better. It is a lot of fun too.

    It used to be US against France. Now there are at least four countries that have a realistic chance to win.

    e=mc^2 - true?

    Hmm... that might say more about the state/pace of your field than about Nature. I have no reason to consider Nature's peer review procedures any better or worse than any other journal. I do consider it to be too broad in scope for my personal use, though, but that is another matter. You missed my point. The fact that the paper is published in a top peer reviewed scientific magazine, does not guarantee that the content of this paper is true.

    Just a side note. During last several years Nature published three papers that are closely related to my field. Later all three papers were proven to be wrong.

    same class?

    I am not sure what I'd do if I was on that team ... break Kevin's nose right after that jump or promise Kevin to break his nose if he ever tries to pull that trick again
