Announce that the asteroid has decided to pursue an Open Source solution to its software needs. The mass migration of Linux Hippies to said asteroid should be enough to alter its trajectory.
If an additional course corrections are required, announce one of the following:
1) A security hole has been found in IE 2) Ellen Fiess will make another Apple commercial 3) Microsoft buys the rights to Ogg Forbis
The resulting explusion of hot air should be sufficent.
As I recall, Time Warner/Roadrunner has stated several times, in response to this issue, that they have no plans to implement capping, nor have they considered the issue.
Of course, they also said I'd pay 35 smackers a month, which has now gone 44 in less than 2 years.
Has been a great service though. >99% uptime, living in a rural town leaves me with a big old open pipe all day/night.
Most leases that I'm aware of actually specify a total mileage cap for the life of the lease (or sometimes a year). So I can take it out once a year for my round the states vacation, then leave it in the garage.
This is more the equivalent of saying you can only drive X miles per day. Sucks when gram's house is X+2 miles away.
Actually adaptive optics in space is nothing new. Since weight is a major factor in placing any payload in orbit, optical face sheets are made as thin as possible. Once freed of gravitational constraints, the optics will deform. Thermal deformations also come into play.
My compnay has a processor that my friends and I are trying to market. One night, I was tallying up sales on it, when all of a sudden I went berserk, we were losing money, money, money. All of it. And it was a good design! I had...........

From The Article "Environmentalists are concerned about the deployment of a modified Boeing 747, the world's largest commercial jet, that would operate the nation's first airborne chemical laser, contending that the chemical beam could be harmful to the atmosphere and that the potential for toxic spills is unacceptable.

Wonder how they'd feel about a chemically armed Scud dropping down in thier neighborhood. Perhaps they should all climb down from thier tree perches, get together and draft a letter to Saddam, let him know the "bad" of chemical warfare.
These are the same fuck-weasel types who question if it was legal to have the military assist in the search for the sniper. Don't know, maybe we should let him pop a cap in someone else while we debate.
So it's like a really sophisticated version of a Nintendo Game Glove. Or a MS Sidewinder Controller with Force Feedback.
Sorry, I don't see whats so awe inspiring about sending data through a network.
Maybe it's just me.

(Clark W. Griswold) Hey! If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah!
When I'm feeling a little bit nefarious at work, I'll slap a big sticker on the side of my PC. When I'm contemplating a problem, I'll color the keys on my board with a Sharpie. And for shits-n-giggles, sometimes I arrange my collection of troll dolls on top of the monitor.
Do these qualify as a case mods?

Hang on there a sec. One tiny little problem with your "viewer decision", todays youth, or at least those who still watch MTV, couldn't make a decision. Anything beyond satisfying thier immediate needs is beyond thier scope, or perhaps caring.
MTV has gone from Rock The Vote to Tabitha's Clinton Interview to JackAss.........
How does one go about signing up a crew of animated characters to a movie deal? What "beenies" would one offer to sweeten the pot? The promise of replacing the dull animators brush with a new soft one, or ensuring the coloring remains within the lines.
Or maybe the alternative tack, akin to "you'll never work in this town again", threating to erase thier legs or restore them to thier original Tracy Ulman show coloring and crudeness.
And yes, I realise that the "crew" probably referred to animators, voice actors, etc.

Is that really the Priceline super-computer behind you in the commercial?

We will have a device without a monitor communicating with another device, which has a monitor.
Woot !!

I've been practicing organic yard management for years.
Although in my case its known as
1) "to cheap to replace the mower bag"
B) "to fuckin lazy to rake the leaves"
Another method for the delivery of spam. Guess we'll have to start work on the anti-white (black) noise generator.
Clutch Cargo. Now theres an oldie. Always was a bit disconcerted by that superimposition of the mouth though.
I though we'd find a chocolate nugget filling. Least thats what the elves would have us believe.
Or was that the trees?
