After watching a battlefield 3 video online (http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/12/09/and-in-other-pc-gaming-news-210/) I got into an argument over whether it was actually possible to jump out of a jet and then get back in. Do you think its possible or have and scientific facts proving or disproving it.
Answer
There are many variables, but it is THEORETICALLY possible. It depends what you mean by, ''jump out, then back in''
For a jet moving at a constant speed, on a horizontal axis, no.
A jet is being kept level and accelerating forward byuplift and thrust, not to mention its aerodynamic design. If you were to jump directly out, perpendicular to the plane, gravity will immediately pull you down and below the level of the plane you just exited, not to mention your perpendicular displacement (away from the door) as you jump out to hinder any attempt to get back in. Due to newtonian laws, you already have momentum parallel to the direction of travel inside the plane, therefore if air resistance was non existant and the plane kept at a constant speed, you would effectively stay ''opposite'' the door and not displace back towards the rear of the plane. Bit since air resistance is a reality, your velocity is slowed, therefore the plane would quickly accelerate ahead of you (not including gravity pulling you vertically down)
However, If you were to put the Jt into an accelerated nosedive, then jump out (considering the plane is being piloted by someone else, preventing the plane from veering offcourse) the plane could match your fall to terminal velocity, vertically downward, effectively keeping yourself ''level'' with the door, allowing yourself to re-enter (by aerodynamically positioning your body to be less aerodynamically resistant towards the door)
This however is highly theoretical and realistically, you could not control all these variables... so its POSSIBLE, but highly unlikely.

What are the top 5 selling PC Games in the last 2 years?
*~*Carly*~
IM doing research for a project for school and I need some help finding out what the top 5 PC Games for the last two years are, what the total sales for each game were for each year, and what the share of market was? Can anyone help me with finding this information?
Answer
Here is the Top 20 for 2008:

Just look at the top five if that's all you want.
Top 10 2007:

And a fuzzy list for 2009, so far:
http://giantrealm.gameriot.com/gaming/best-selling-console-and-pc-games-so-far-in-2009
Just scroll down, down, down to the PC section. Note that digital sales like Steam, EA Store, Impulse, and Direct2Drive aren't tallied by the NPD. So it's a very fuzzy and most likely inaccurate list.
Your random guesses are meaningless. NPD data and whatever numbers Valve release for Steam sales are all that matter.
