It looks like people are solving it, so hopefully I'm not spoiling it: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Tab, Return. It's a variation of the Konami code (which nets you 30 lives in Contra) adapted for the keyboard. Figured out the first part from Paul's clue, but it took going through the minified Javascript to figure out a) that they didn't use the original Konami code like Google does and b) what they used for keyboard equivalents for "select" and "start."

AWESOME! but didn't the code net you 99 lives?

The suffering in Iran is not any less important. It's just that, for many in the US, it's become wearying. It's far away. We don't see what we can do about it. But Michael Jackson, well, we can find our old vinyls and play them once again. Maybe the media should help bring the struggling and suffering in Iran closer to us; maybe we need more people who can help us find something to do, so that we don't stare at the images and videos in utter helplessness. I don't know. But... well, I guess that's all I had.

The ‘Coffin Corner’ and a ‘Mesoscale’ Maw - http://trueslant.com/milesob...
Mayuresh Walke, Steven Bryden, Alex Lomas and 49 other people liked this
"The doomed Airbus A-330-200 was flying ever so close to its maximum altitude – in a zone pilots call the “Coffin Corner”. It refers to the edge of so-called “flight envelope” of an aircraft. At this altitude, the air is much thinner and that significantly narrows the swath of speed at which the airplane can safely operate. They will stop flying (stall) at a much higher speed (true airspeed) than they would on approach to an airport at sea level. At the other end of the safe speed spectrum is the sound barrier. The wings on an airliner like the A-330 are not designed to break the speed of sound. So you see the squeeze play as a plane flies toward the Coffin Corner: the margin between the between the high and low speed limits gets thinner and thinner (along with the air). Matter of fact, given its estimated weight, altitude and the outside air temperature (which also affects air density), AF 447 was flying through the eye of a speed needle only about 25 knots (28 mph) wide."
- Paul Buchheit
from Bookmarklet
wow - great read there paul, thx!
- Chris Heath
such a puzzle. the thing is, the A330 flight computer should "know" when the aircraft is approaching the "Coffin Corner." it is designed to keep the plane from getting into trouble. though it looks like the last ACARS messages from the plane are basically the flight computers saying they are confused, could a human please drive now (autopilot off, autothrottle off, switch to Alternate Law).

- Karim
or rather the computer has to keep the airspeed between the two points. :-) if there's a small buffet margin of a few knots (difference between the Mach buffet speed and the stall buffet speed), the greater the chances that a manuever will get the plane into trouble. turning the plane can reduce the airspeed (thus causing it to stall), or pitching the nose down can increase the airspeed (thus causing a "Mach tuck" and pointing the nose down even more...)
- Karim
Karim, are you sure that photo is from a 747? Mach .86 at that altitude is 500kts, not 275. That's 275m/s, not knots, which makes the "coffin corner" 60kts, not 30.
- Gabe
Gabe, i was assuming the speed was CAS. (does an EFIS display meters/sec.?) the calculator here http://www.newbyte.co.il/calc... shows that, for an altitude of 38,000 ft., temp. of -38 C, and speed of Mach .86, that results in a Calibrated Air Speed (CAS) of 275.
- Karim
UAFlt 175 , an alleged 767, according to the video evidence, appeared to travel over 500 mph @ 700 ft., and was not dive-bombing. According to Boeing, that couldn't be. I'd like opinion of pilots on this photo http://www.thewebfairy.com/ the background is a still from a video allegedly taken from Battery Park by M. Hezarkhani, and promoted in various media.
- Marg Uerite
i am so relieved to find a thread full of savvy and tech interested pilots.
- Marg Uerite
Marg, at 700ft the speed of sound is 764mph, so a plane going Mach .86 could be going 660mph. Of course few jets have the thrust to sustain flight at that height and speed for very long, but you could dive from altitude to build up a speed of over 660mph (your wings probably wouldn't fall off until over 700mph) and go for quite a ways at level flight before drag slowed you down to 500mph.
- Gabe
I was not aware that a 767 was able to break the sound barrier. Thank you for your answer that is very helpful. The "plane" in the vids appear to come in level, from at least a mile out. Part of the problem is that different vids show different trajectories. One vid *does show a dive, but does not match the others. http://killtown.911review.org/2nd-hit...
- Marg Uerite
No, I never said a 767 could break the sound barrier. It can dive at 91% of the speed of sound, which near sea level is pretty fast. Once it comes out of that dive, it would cover a mile in maybe 10 seconds.
- Gabe
Thanks, Gabe.

Doctors x-rayed his chest and found a tumor in one of the lungs.

Truths about bottled water - http://naurunappula.com/z...

I drink tap water, but I freely admit that 'city water' is way less palatable than the water from our spring when I was growing up.
- FFing Enigma
the water here in the UK is great. Tho, you do notice differences when you go to a different place - for example holidaying in Florida, the water has an extremely sulphury smell and taste. Markedly different to the water here in the UK.
- alphaxion
I drink tap water with a filter, at least if I use a filter the inside of my kettle stays cleaner, I've never really bought bottled water.
- M F
Dasani is tap water. Was a bit of a scandal here in the UK when that was discovered >.<
- alphaxion
Yeah, if I don't like the taste of the water as-is, I'll filter it. Has yet to fail me. And I've got some nice metal bike bottles for carrying it instead of bottled water.
- Wirehead
Yep Ryo, it is, i'm not sure why people are obsessed with bottled water, i never got it. I guess it's convenient when you're out on a hike or something but when you're in your house or office?
- SteVe C
Everyone's seen the Penn & Teller episode of BS about bottled water, right? (Condensed version here: http://www.youtube.com/watch... )
- Stephen Mack
bottle water ..is just marketing hype.. drink tap water and save $$
- Peter Dawson
We simply cannot drink the tap water in our house: there's something foul in the pipes. But, instead of bottled water, we pass our tap water through a Brita filter which makes it taste fantastic. Only time we drink bottled water is when we're on the road, camping, or whatever.
- Akiva
we keep a distiller going in the garage 24-7. what it pulls from the tap water represents the poor condition of the distribution system in our area. the water is fine, the pipes are full of crap. we all keep a "kleen kanteen" or other permanent bottle w/ us throughout the day.

World's Longest Sausage
Carmen, Nate Pilling, Mitch Wagner and 36 other people liked this
Turija, Serbia,--Yard after yard of sausage is made in preparation for Turija's 25th annual sausage festival. The result: a 6,643-foot (2,025-meter) coil of the meat product. Turija already holds the Guinness Book record for longest sausage. Each year, the town breaks its own record by a centimeter, according to Balkaninsight.com.

That right there is the biggest reason I can't stand Facebook and I would dump it in a heartbeat if it didn't mean that all of my family and distant friends would instantly have a shitfit.
- Hookuh Tinypants
Also - Facebook = "Real life Friends". If you only friend people you're actually friends with it's actually a terrific application for keeping in touch. If you try to treat it like a Friendfeed/Twitter/MySpace then you wind up with a load of crap and its utility takes a nose dive.

I didn't add them. They are invitations.
- Thomas Hawk
Totally agree with you. couldn't have said it better.
- Karoli
@Haggis: Agreed. And I too block pretty much every app invite I get. The irritating part is when someone gets all uppity with me because I didn't return their snowball or superpoke them back. I'm like...srsly? You send me that ridiculous crap and then have the nerve to get mad at ME for not participating?
- Hookuh Tinypants
I am blocking most apps, because things can get outta hand ...
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
@Amanda: I tell/have told all my friends that they can send those requests, but that I categorically deny all of them. It's surprising how that already decreases the number of requests.
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
I do get tired of all that crap. My bro sent me a video to watch on Farcebook a few days ago, but to see it I would have to download yet another silly wall. I don't need more than one, nor do I need to install multiple calendars so you can see when my birthday is. Go to my profile.
- Ian May
For every app invite i block, i seem to get twice as many the following day. Its better now their not all over people profiles pages when they do get added though.
- Simon Wicks
Thomas - I think you're really gettign confused between Facebook and these leeches trying to suck off the Facebook platform. Just ignore them and these requests would never appear. Or better yet - DEfriend anyone who would be so stupid as to include you on a list of requests. JUST DUMP THEM - and everything will be fine.

this is just one example of the silliness and boring nature of facebook. Frankly it's just not engaging. There's so much wrong with it and this is just the start. FriendFeed is a far superior platform for probably 100 different reasons.
- Thomas Hawk
I have found that blocking invites from certain users and applications is very helpful.
- Adam
@Thomas I agree with you 100%. I think FB is near unusable.. You're right it's not engaging - it's more of a distraction and there's very little value proposition for me to connect with people. I get the same with email/IM/flickr.. FF is far superior in my estimation

I'm not a fan of the tons of virtual goods and apps either, but I've got tons of friends who would qualify as "normal people" and cannot imagine living without FB. It's a rich way for them to keep in touch with people. I like FF a bunch but I also recognize the bandwagon effect that exists with FB.

I don't get why people who don't like apps don't block them all, or why people who do like them feel the need to send invites to everyone, let alone whine that you haven't accepted. Most apps I use have a button that shows your friends with the app, and I only send to those.
- Pixie
@Keith IIRC there's a greasemonkey script that lets you block them all at once.

I think 95% of them are a waste of time imho... there are always going to be those people who love to do the spamming but it doesn't mean you need to pay attention to them :) One part of FB that I also do not love.
- Deanna Belle Govoni

shit like that is what makes me hate FB. they need an option saying "please auto ignore all invites from everyone". i used to have a greasemonkey script which did it, but the bloody things are getting smarter
- Terry O'Fee
Richard: Who said I have idiot friends? Intelligence has nothing to do with people trying to share their fave FB apps with everyone else, especially before Facebook put in limitations to keep apps from spamming their users' friends.
- Chris Charabaruk
Thing is, once burned, twice shy. So only people I can trust to not send me lots of invites get to be friended to me on Facebook.
- Chris Charabaruk
it's just some people. i know great people who forward every single email online. there's one person, ive given her an old yahoo email adress so i dont hurt her feelings :P
- Terry O'Fee
Smart people catch on to spamming apps quickly, they recognize when they've been spammed, instead of signing up and passing them along, or continuing to request you join (insert game of the week.) If your friends can't figure out what's annoying to you, how can you expect Facebook to?
- Richard Lawler
immediately block app requests as they come in! according to the picture there were not so many apps involved here, but blocking them from the beginning on spares you more invitations..

- Peter To
I don't get it. I have 600+ friends on FB (not crazy huge, but not an insubstantial number). About once a week, I do a combo of ignore-app's and ignore-all-apps from a few friends, and voila! In about 1-2 minutes, I'm all set. 1-2 minutes a week. How many friends do you have on FB, Thomas? And how many years has it been since you've cleared things out? While I think FB shares some of the blame, is this situation any different than not cleaning *anything else* out once in a while?
