The relativity of real-time. The shooter sees the target by speed of light. The target hears the shot by speed of sound, if the shooter (even by a ricochet) did miss the target. Even if the projectile should be slower than the speed of sound, the speed of the awareness of the sound, is way slower than the projectile. If the shooter didn't miss the target, then the target did not hear the shot. Many people believe in noticing computers becoming dangerous, before computers could harm. This guess is as infantil. Hiding behind a car door, as shelter against a projectile, gains nothing. At best it blocks the view, but not the bullet. We also could hide behind car doors trying to ensure privacy and security of data. -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
