I am often amazed at how well they read my expressions, moods, commands. I swear they think they are running the household... maybe they are: they stay home all day and eat and play, while I go to work and go out to buy them food.
Wouldn't it just be better to smack into one side of the asteroid at full speed rather than use a bunch of energy to get to the asteroid, a bunch more to slow down and rendezvous, then use little puffs of energy to try and modify its orbit?
Seems to me that all that reaction mass would be much better served by hitting the rock traveling at 4X,000 MPH.
Well, had you been keeping up with events, you would know that the cuts are basically across the board, not just focused on R&D.
The entire concept was a blunt instrument that was meant to be too draconian and indiscriminate to even consider going into effect. Well, we see how that worked.

Surely you are not referring to Linux. RTAI, Xenomai, RT_PREEMPT. Not to mention the nonfree offerings.
But when I do, I prefer to use Linux.
I did not mean to quote the most interesting man in the world, but it I like the way that reads.
Solidity can be ascertained remotely? Density is a fairly easy metric to obtain. That alone gives a fairly good indication of solidity.
A tiny nudge early enough just might be enough.

Trivial?
Many folks would rather have lasers shot in their eyes than wear glasses.
Hmm.
St Peter will have all the recording you need...
Stop these robots from fingering my wife!
...may as well log those keystrokes...
Well then, please elaborate on what make you so special.
I fondly remember Pascal. Awesome language.
I guess there is no longer a need for your services.
Folks aren't out rioting in the streets over these cuts like they did in Athens, Madrid, London, Paris....

More likely we just ship the current Chinese et al H1B holders home.
Sounds like plenty of American engineers will be looking for work.
I have been mooning Venus (quite large I assure you) for some time now.
...it is the American way as well.
I don't seem to see this phenomenon so much. Maybe because the foreigners who do what I do all command pretty much the same salary.
It has been bandied about for over a decade by consulting agencies who have been hired by corporations who have already decided to downsize.
