And the real point is that that large superdense ball of matter has an intimate interest in your sex life, and is going to punish you for eternity if you step out of line
Actually, you see this behaviour in road bicycle racing. When a number of riders form a breakaway from the peleton, even if those riders are from different teams, they will all work together to maintain their lead, each doing more-or-less equal work. They do this because they know it is the only way they can maintain their lead and have a chance to win the race. Riders who do not work with the others by hanging back or only doing short turns will be punished by the other riders - either verbally, or the other riders will work to try to drop the offending rider from the breakaway group.
Could this be combined with the giant 'ski jump' they used to lauch the spacships in 'When Worlds Collide'? Why can't they use a ski jump now for regular shuttle launches? Its good enough for the British Navy.
If they built 2 observatories, each just over the horizon wrt earth, but on opposite sides of the moon, then you get a 'virtual' receiver the size of the moon. Plus then they just need to build stations just on the earth side of the moon, to transmit the data back.
Then all we need to work out is a practical method for adjusting the azimuth and elevation of the moon, to aim the antennae.
I'm not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt.Its going to be decisive.

This morning I arrived at work to read an email from our company CEO that one of my co-workers is confirmed dead - he was on UA 93, and quite possibly was involved in the attempt to re-take the aircraft - with 7 others missing in the WTC, including one who was a trained emergency medical technician, who went in with rescue workers after the initial attack.
They were 7 out of 40,000 employees of our company, and though I never knew them, as I sit typing this, 12,000 miles and half a world away, it is all I can do to stop myself from breaking down and crying.

"A good staring point....."
Given what you just said in your post, this is an unbelievable typo.

Oh, wait a minute....
"Its the applications, stupid!"
Compare the number of available applications built on Oracle databases vs the number of available applications built on PostgreSQL.
As I used to say
'If you PICK it, it wont get better'
Does this mean we can now expect to see a Babbage Engine in the same form factor as a pocket calculator?

even worse - could end up being coles-law

Surely they can get a little more up-to-date than that.
Of course, they could be running it on a server, and having it displayed under X on the PS2.

see how many bags of cement you can put in the trunk before the rear suspension bottoms out. Then add a couple more.
compare this also to the life of William Smith, the father of British Geology, documented in the book 'The map that changed the world'
you mean like this?
The BBC are usually pretty reliable.

I tried giving up caffeine, but I found it made all the people I associate with really irritable and hard to deal with.
what about chocolate coated coffee beans?
I think the term 'Gunboat diplomacy' would be more appropriate than 'Banana republic'.
Otherwise - outstanding post.
No, but I had a 'Dark Star' flashback.
