		<description>As I recall, there is an element of precognition in a Jedi's awareness, so 10g of acceleration is like not necessary to dodge.

Additionally, it takes several frames of movie for a blaster bolt to move down a 20 meter hallway.  Therefore, as a guess, the speed is more like 100m/sec, not 1000m/sec.  Though given footage I've seen, it looks like blaster bolts take about a constant time to reach their target (except for very short distances).  But that still means the Jedi always gets at least 0.2 sec or so between the time the bolt is fired and the bolt reaches the Jedi.

Perhaps the stormtroopers and robots should use projectile weapons against Jedi.  I never understood why they didn't anyway.  Blasters didn't look much more effective than them.

		<description>Yes, indeed it was, cliph! And the reason i'm only replying now is because you just rang back and reminded me of this whole episode.

Sure, wasn't it meself, one of the trollish fools from the bad old DALNet days who met you at the door there. Figured it must've been yourself when you rang for the first time. Your company seemed to have an awful lot of trouble with that router that day, I remember Bela receiving at least 10 phone calls that day from yourself and others around you.

Anyway, i do hope all is well with yourself and that life is carrying itself along merrily.</description>

		<description>Is the content of the post a contributing factor to why there was such smirking when I picked up the replacement router? :)

I didn't get to see this comment until now because we didn't get our Internet fixed until now!</description>

		<description>Hello Cliff. Are you working for a place called Voxpilot? I think I just spoke to you on the phone by chance just there.</description>
