Planet don't care. It's been happily spinning along for four thousand, five hundred and ninety-seven million years before the human race came along, and will be here for at least another four thousand million years after we are gone to join the dodo, the woolly mammoth, homo habilis, Australopithecus, the dinosaurs, the Arthropleura, the Cameroceras and the trilobite.
The manner of our passing, or, indeed if the genus Homo lasts as long as, say Dinosauria, is a far more interesting question.
I found the relative velocity through the JPL small body database - a very slow 8 km/sec. Looking at the orbital diagram, it was more like the Earth passing the asteroid rather than the other way around!
Purdue's impact calculator has it at a 51 kiloton explosion, versus 541 kilotons for a projectile the size of the Chelyabinsk meteorite
I'd say having all those women and children laughing in the video would suggest that your antics are mere cheeky and endearing shenanigans and therefore not really worth prosecuting.

Given that there may several exaquintrillion tonnes of asteroids, planetesimals, rocky planets gas giants, black, brown and red dwarves and even reasonably large stars, roaming around that we are only just beginning to be able to see, a large amount of dark matter may well turn out to be regular matter, just very hard to see.

That's funny. When I take a 10 second glance through this inpenetrably dense tome of inscrutability I see Chapter 2 is devoted to "plugging in" everything from the motherboard into a case to the front I/O connector and expansion card. Just like every other motherboard manual in the entire world. Where it diverts from many other motherboard manuals is the very large images in rather significant amounts of detail showing where and how to plug in things, including the correct orientation of the connectors.
Seriously, this fag isn't even a console peasant. An iPad, that's what he wants. Even an Android tablet would be too technical for him.
You hit a pothole. Your car seat and steering wheel drop six inches and veer to the left. You don't, because you aren't wearing a seatbelt. You are now in oncoming traffic with no control of the car because you are still 5 inches above your seat and if you yank the steering wheel back to the right, you will rotate and not the wheel.
I get a long, complicated, random password, then I make up a phrase to go with it. I repeat the phrase as I type it in
Eg, mAW!t@Eh*J9$r becomes ummm.... My Aunt will bang that hey? Date just 9 dollar
(Date is another word for a chocolate starfish, which looks a bit like, well, you get the idea.) Now, just try getting that mnemonic out of your head!
"Via a crafted document" "via a crafted Media Centre Link" "Via a crafted embedded font" "Via a crafted Journal" "Via a crafted website" "via a crafted application"
How do you propose getting the user to open your 'specially crafted doodad?
About as much sense as getting Bill Gates to help "close up that internet" and probably aimed at the same sort of people. A different religion, a different set of clothes, the lack of power and hope are probably about the same.
Long time to reply, I know, but thought it best to present my complete lack of bona fides and say I've never programmed in either language, but I am familiar with this old joke
Because Pascal is a lot safer than, say C++, because the compiler won't let you shoot yourself in the foot, rather than you ending up bleeding to death because the EMTs can't find you in a heap of 8192 bitwise copies all pointing at each other saying, "That's me, over there."

OS/2 was also pretty neat.
Or something more relevant to this audience: BeOS

Obviously, they didn't. The moon is covered with naturally occurring corner reflectors
The test of the Lion-Eating Poet of the Stone Den?
So he's able to pay his tax bill with United Miles?

Now who's welcome?
Resources, we have plenty of. Ability to get on with others, we have a real problem with.
If the US spent only as much as China on defence, they could have a complete Apollo AND shuttle AND space station program EVERY YEAR.

Yes, it does. And that black hole is named "Philosophy"
They also had to develop special cameras to go with them then, too.

Probably because they usually do it more like this.

A quick calculation says that's about 0.45 nanometres/sec over a distance of about 191,000 miles.
So....how accurately can the distance to the moon be measured these days?

Well, no, they aren't because they aren't forcing people to have abortions.
As opposed to the anti-abortion types who want to force people to have babies.
Taipan! the game was already an adaptation based on a novel, though

TIL that Larry Cuba doesn't know what he's talking about.
Virtual machines, obviously.
