  Domino Effect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
If you do it right, you can tip the first domino and cause all others to fall down in succession (this is where the phrase ``domino effect'' comes from).
It is even possible that a row is collapsing on both ends, in which case the last domino falling in that row is somewhere between its key dominoes.
Then output a line containing the time when the last domino falls, exact to one digit to the right of the decimal point, and the location of the last domino falling, which is either at a key domino or between two key dominoes.

 Domino theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The domino theory was a 20th Century foreign policy theory, promoted by the government of the United States, that speculated if one land in a region came under the influence of Communists, then more would follow in a domino effect.
The Domino Theory was prosecuted by successive United States administrations during the Cold War, primarily to justify America's escalating intervention in the civil war in Vietnam in the 1960s.
The primary evidence for the domino theory is the communist rule of Cambodia by the Khmer Rouge from 1975 to 1979, who set about establishing what they thought would be a communist utopia (but turned out to be one of the bloodiest regimes in the history of communism).

 What Is "The Domino Effect"? - Dominoes FAQ - Domino-Games.com
The domino effect is the idea that some change, small in itself, will cause a similar change nearby, which then will cause another similar change, and so on in linear sequence, by analogy to a falling row of dominoes standing on end.
The "domino theory" was applied by President Dwight D. Eisenhower and his top advisers in 1954 to describe the prospects of 'communist expansion' in Asia if Indochina were to fall.
In the 1980s, the "domino theory" was used to justify the Reagan administration's interventions in Central America and the Caribbean region.

Domino topplers only get a minute or two of glory while several hours worth of work is falling down.
Improvements were made later which resulted in dominoes with both sides being perfectly flat, thereby reducing the risk of a premature toppling.
There were a few dominoes with tabs in their bases that popped into the tracks.

 The "Domino" Effect - RopeofSilicon.com
Domino Harvey, the inspiration for Tony Scott's film, died in her Los Angeles home on the evening of June 27th, 2005 at the age of 35.
Domino finds her true calling and joins a colorful band of reprobates that includes her wolfish yet formidable ex-con boss, Ed Mosbey (Mickey Rourke); Choco (Edgar Ramirez), a ruggedly sexy Latino who secretly worships Domino; and Alf (Rizwan Abbasi), an Afghani ex-pat obsessed with explosives.
When his plan goes awry, Domino and her team blast their way out of a complex FBI investigation, led by criminal psychologist Taryn Miles (Lucy Liu), that involves the mob, a couple of errant college students and some ‘greazee' white trash thieves.

 Domino effect or internal developments
Secondly, it will hold that a demonstration effect, rather than a domino effect, indeed exists within the movements: in the historical cases analysed, the impact of the external example(s) has always been confined to the tactics and strategies eventually to be adopted by the local nationalist groups.
Domino effect is a concept made famous by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who, in order to justify US commitment to South Vietnam in 1954, compared the nations of Southeast Asia to a row of domino: if Vietnam became red, all the states of Asia would go Communist.
The extent of the demonstration effect is a "function of the strength and proximity of the demonstration movement" (Horowitz, op.

 Exploratorium Human Body Explorations: The Domino Effect
The first domino will not fall until it is pushed beyond a critical angle; in a similar way, a nerve impulse will not be triggered until the nerve is excited beyond its firing threshold.
Once the pulse of falling dominoes begins to propagate, it moves at a constant speed independent of the size of the starting push; analogously, the speed of the propagation of a nerve impulse is independent of the size of the triggering signal.
The domino pulse does not lose energy as it propagates because the potential energy of each standing domino is released as kinetic energy when the domino falls; similarly, nerve impulses do not lose energy as they propagate.

There is a scene in Keira Knightley's new film, Domino, where she strips down to her underwear and performs a lap dance for the leader of one of Los Angeles' most violent outfits, the 18th Street Gang.
Domino is based on the real life bounty hunter Domino Harvey, an English-born former model and daughter of actor Lawrence Harvey and socialite Sophie Wynn.
Harvey was raised in a world of wealth and privilege in London, Beverly Hills and elite boarding schools, but she rebelled and found herself attracted to LA's seedy world of bounty hunting where she tracked down bail jumpers for a couple of hundred dollars a week.

Set up both lines of dominoes so that they each stretch to 100 cm, but one line should be placed 2 cm apart and the other line 4 cm apart.
In the first activity, the dominoes are placed closer together, and the sound travels faster through the particles, much as in a solid (molecules are close together).
In the second activity, the dominoes are placed farther apart and the sound travels slower through the particles, much as they do in a liquid (molecules are farther apart than in a solid).

 Free Plans: How To Make a Domino Effect
Many of us have seen a large domino topple where hundreds if not thousands of dominoes are set up only to be tipped over in succession.
In line with our uniqueprojects style, we wondered what would happen if we made our own dominoes; with a little creativity we stumbled across a series of unique shapes and sizes along with simple mechanical devices used to enhance the topple.
For the topple shown in the video clip, we used about 10 square feet (1 square meter) of 3/8" (9mm) Baltic birch plywood; hardwood is also suitable.

The daughter of actor Laurence "The Manchurian Candidate" Harvey, Domino worked briefly as a fashion model before coming under the employment of bail bondsman Claremont Williams (Delroy Lindo, based on her actual boss, Celes King) and then went on to win Bounty Hunter of the Year in 2003.
But Tony Scott's overlong Domino is less a biopic than it is torn from the sleazy, sadistic pages of an old pulp novel found on the bottom shelf of a convenience store.
With irritatingly self-conscious humor and seizure-inducing editing, Domino takes the MTV approach to a whole new level of a blitzkrieg assault on the senses.

 Cox & Forkum: Domino Effect Redux
With yesterday's resignation of the Syrian government in Lebanon and recent concessions to democracy in Egypt, all coming after Iraq's elections, some commentators are using the phrase "domino effect" to describe the events.
Unless [Syrian President Bashar] Assad can transform himself, two bombs in February -- one that murdered the former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri, and the other last week's suicide bombing in Tel Aviv blamed on Syrian-backed radicals -- may come to be seen as marking the final decline of his regime.
Mr Bush will doubtless be hoping that this "domino effect" will also be felt on the other side of Iraq -- in Iran.
