If it sounds too good to be true...Platforms did though. Many more of them as well as most rail lines hadn't been closed yet. ;P

Holy Sheeeet!Not with the atmosphere per se but yes - thats the electrical discharge. The fuselage is acting as an antenna and so a current will be induced in it at the frequencies of the EM radiation to which it is exposed. This then gets reradiated as another electrical discharge. With the huge currents involved the air ionises which is what we see as lightning. In practice this happens thousands of times every year. The current flows around the fuselage so all parts of the aircraft are at the same potential. This means you can safely touch the metal parts of the aircract as the potential difference between the two point you are connecting is zero. - This is also why seagulls don't get electrocuted when they land on a high voltage powerline.

Holy Sheeeet!Research would imply that its actually a very broad spectrum ranging from ELF (3-30Hz) up to microwave frequencies (1Ghz+) http://radiometrics.com/data/uploads/2014/01/Petersen_AR_14.pdf Admitedly pure DC would indeed be made up of components of all frequencies but it appears that some frequencies are more pronounced. Interference of radio signals during a thunderstorm would also support this. Also don't forget Marconi's transmitter was a spark transmitter.

Holy Sheeeet!Until you start raising the frequency at which point the surface effect gets more important - hence why waveguides are generally used rather than wires at microwave frequencies. However I've no idea what the frequency of a lightning discharge would be so unsure as to what extent this would apply.

Fun with Generic Enum ConstraintIf you ever need to then the much higher priority should be to refactor that bit of code so that you use something more appropriate. The actual value applied to an enumeration should never be relied upon to remain the same between versions of the code and so the result of any maths operation performed on it should be considered unreliable.

Can You Program The MS Stack?I guess at least you should have a good idea of the quality of specs you can be expected to implement. Obviously the primary requirement is ESP.

Who/What am IUsed properly it allows you to code try catch blocks : : : on error resume next perform_some_action_which_may_generate_an_error on error goto 0 test_and_act_upon_err_object : : : unfortunately most people forget to do the testing part.

There are times when I wonder what MS developers are smoking...They were the ones shown on the menus in Win 3.1

Thought of the dayNo 0 votes - according to Wikipedia there are also several tied ones in Canada - one of which was decided on a coin toss and a US senate election.
