They should be more involved in getting nuclear fusion on the table. That more than any other tech will have a profound effect on energy requirements. And given some of the latest R&D, the tech is getting very close to reality.
If you don't like the internet, just go build your own military-industrial complex funded by a cold-war arms race culminating decades later in many scientific advances including high speed communications technology.
The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea. They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain. In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by small robots.
Couldn't it be a rogue planet that was captured into orbit due to it coming in at that direction?
I can't imagine something impacting a planet and making it reverse direction without turning it into dust. And I can't imagine the odds of something near-missing precisely right to cause a complete reversal in direction. I would think a rogue planet-like object getting captured traveling the opposite direction would be far more likely.
I know planets will can get kicked off their orbits from an impact and be launched out into the great emptiness, I recall reading a slashdot article on that many many moons ago....
Also, given the fact that we found this situation - considering the percentage of planets we have observed versus the amount of planets out there (which would be an extremely small percent), I would think it's likely that this is not an uncommon occurance.
(I am not a professional in anything other than database programming, but I do read up on astrophysics stuff for fun cause it's interesting. I'm sure I'm wrong in 87 different ways, feel free to let me know =)
I've been a SQL/.NET guy for quite a while and I've never had a problem getting a job and I still get job info from people a few times a week and I haven't had my resume up in probably 9 months.
I make a good salary and work from home.

I don't know, if they could make it out to 1000 barleycorns or even several rods, i'd buy a hogshead of them next fortnight.
uh, wireless hdmi?
Yo dawg, Imma let you finish, but Apollo had the best mission of all time.
Huh, I'm quite bipolar and hate liars. Would kill them if I could.
when a bunch of large irish cops with handlebar moustaches and silly hats would just beat the crap out of everyone with their billy clubs.

only in Boston.
We can just assign each electron it's own IPv6 address.
I call I don't have to work on the routing tables...
Yeah, but only the 1's contain data. The 0's are empty.
how much does data weigh? I'm sure the 1's are heavier than the 0's....

but I do know that the keyboard+mouse guys would _destroy_ the gamepad people in any sort of FPS.
also emacs is better than vi.
where can I procure this to give it a test drive myself?
I _knew_ I shouldn't have gotten that desk made out of 3mm glass.
I pulled a c64 from being underwater in algae-filled water for several years, dried it out, fired it up and it worked fine.
I'm not sure where it is now, but I bet it works.
(it was in a garbage bag in a box in a shed with a leaky roof. bag filled up. it was there for a _long_ time.)
I doubt the explanation is so simple.... there's probably more than meets the eye.
linux? osx? debian? solaris? gentoo? GLaDOS?
People really must start paying more attention to user inputs';drop table users;--

I didn't know that was wrong. I'll stop. maybe.
