Even slight error in observation will turn large in few years.
You don't get how small the errors can be in celestial observations. A few measurements over a few days do not yield accurate results. Measurements over years yield really accurate projections of the trajectory of the asteroid decades and sometimes centuries in advance.
Remember an asteroid that was going to hit Mars with around %1 probability?
No I don't. But keep in mind that such an asteroid would have a 99% chance of not hitting Mars. So doesn't support your case one way or the other.
It does, because this shows that orbit calculations aren't that accurate.
However, you probably are right that few years of observation can give accurate results.
I think that ads are such pain in the a*** because they target the typical, medium to low IQ customer.
And since there are so many idiots, they don't care about smart ones.
wait, nether companies do, this is why we got windows in first place.
In other word, the world is ruled 'literally' by idiots, and normal peoples (I am not taking about very bright peoples, just normal peoples that finish college, etc) just suffer
Big deal. Gravitational assist orbits are known from the dawn of space time. It helps and guess what, yes all the probes that were sent to mars do take advantage of such orbits.
Problem is that first, this doesn't help much, and second that vastly increases travel time, thus unsuitable for manned flight.

Laws work fine when you know all variables.
Even apolo missions had to 'correct' the trajectory during the flight.

Jupiter is quite large compared to earth, so error margin is larger.

Funniest comment I have ever seen
No, because linux admins aren't usually that sloppy, compared to windows admins....
English isn't my primary language, thats all.
I indeed make many mistakes.
No.

just imagine how fast compiles will be done on this system.....
make -j80 ...

That really gives new meaning to word 'botnet'
Imagine a 'swarm of power plants' controlled via DSL
Ah, and imagine a Beowulf cluster of... skip it
It won't work
You will get, just
www.bankofsweden.me.se
And nobody will notice.
I bet that even a
www.bankofsweden.yahoo.com will fool most of stupid users
But if they actually ban anything with word 'bank' it might at least help a bit
They have just found a way to decrypt a packet using the WEP chopchop algorithm. Master key can't still be recovered. Move along, this isn't news
And this big question is: How many oil rig platforms use WEP? I bet that all of them do
