Catching Up at Different Speeds

Don't go above the speed limit.

Don't exceed the speed limit.

I remember everything. No speeding.

And never go over 10 miles beyond the speed limit.

Because everyone these days wants to know how to slow down, but they want to know how to slow down really quickly. So ...

We either keep going fast, or we slow down.

From the evaluation of direction and velocity (angular rate and range rate) as a function of time, orbital elements can be derived.

In this new age, immensely significant developments can take place as more quickly than the mind can follow them.

Be quick and quiet and report back here. Move along now.

The critical speed is the speed where the platform's cushioning devices reach their maximum travel and energy absorption capacity beyond which the minimum SRS curve is normally obtained or exceeded.

A sustainable improvement in export performance requires not only productivity growth based on rising investment rates, but also policies that ensure that real wages do not increase faster than productivity growth, and that the exchange rate is maintained at a stable and competitive level.

Think of yours, you old witch!

From the evaluation of direction, speed and range rate as a function of time, orbital elements can be derived.

Wants speed, let's give it to him.

Sometimes they just explode before your eyes or come down supersonic.

Ten miles an hour, no more.

Well, the man wants speed, let's just give it to him.

This year, the speed of development in our company far exceeds that of last year.

Reforms to the planning process need to be introduced in a systematic and consistent way, and at a pace that is manageable for provincial governments (although some are more ready than others).

Nooooo. You'll be violating the speed limit.

Minimum exit speed

That impatience will cause some to drive inconsiderately, others to overtake dangerously and yet others to speed excessively.

I'll make it all right, if I don't take it too fast.

The rapid growth of trade in developing countries outpaced that of developed countries, largely because of China and India.2 Developing countries in all regions except South Asia experienced an increase of about 20 per cent or more in their exports of goods and services in 2004.

First, the salaries of the common system staff had increased faster than the cost of living, which had resulted in a real increase of 14 per cent in their purchasing power.

228. It seems that the prices of essential food items have gone up faster than the purchasing power of families.

The immigration waves of the last two years to Britain, Spain, and Italy will have significantly changed these figures, but the information needed to update the statistics is not yet available. Nowadays, people move faster than statistical offices can count them.

I don't want to overstep myself, but I'll take a chance.

You could figure out the time by saying, we know how fast we're accelerating, and we know the initial and final velocity, so we can figure out how long we had to accelerate that fast to get that change in velocity.

Accompany effortlessly the fastest ship.

A race in hyperspace

At 1200 hours they overflew the South, the Western Bekaa and Mount Lebanon at the same altitude breaking the sound barrier.

Think you can lift her? I can if I can get up enough speed.

With the collapse in the price of oil since then, the economy has gone into a tailspin GDP is contracting at a record pace, inflation is in excess of 200 , the currency has plunged to less than 10 of its previous value, and massive shortages have emerged.

Now I would argue, actually, if you look at the fact that on the highways today, you're only averaging about 30 miles per hour on average, according to the DOT the Skycar travels at over 300 miles an hour, up to 25,000 feet.

He must be doing better than 180 now.

Nor I, which proves, my dear fellow, how sadly we lag behind the times.

Between 1300 and 1350 hours Israeli warplanes overflew the North and the South at various altitudes breaking the sound barrier.

This is going to push computers to have to grow faster than they've been growing, because so far, there haven't been applications that have been required that need to go faster than Moore's Law. This stuff does.

I don't want to pray there again!

We always are. We're always going above the speed limit.

Look, isn't the Concorde gorgeous!

What I'd like to start off with is an observation, which is that if I've learned anything over the last year, it's that the supreme irony of publishing a book about slowness is that you have to go around promoting it really fast.

While trade had grown rapidly, FDI had also grown rapidly since the early 1980s in fact, more rapidly than trade and domestic production.
