If you play any type of online game, don't bother...the latency was horrible for me, and I was recieving pings upwards of 800ms. It's great for web browsing and net radio and stuff like that, but if you want to run a server or anything like that, it's no better than a dialup, and more expensive to boot. Thank God for DSL!
Carpel tunnel syndrome is not psycosomatic. For something to be psychosomatic, you have to think you have it. People are diagnosed with repetitive strain injuries all the time and the thought had never crossed their mind that the repetitive motion was what had caused it. Perhaps in your case it was psychosomatic, but you can't generalize like that.
"Anonymous Coward" and Cosmosis:
Yes, you're right, I read that wrong.
But it still won't work...most asteroids aren't big boulders, they're piles of rubble floating through space. Your rocket would fly right through it and off into oblivion, which is where Anon's brain seems to be, trying to be a wiseass when he's (she's?) really just being an Ass.
Dude, that's exactly what all those scientists at the conference decided WOULDN'T work!!! Did you read the article? Besides, you can't consider diameter as much...mass is the primary variable. And understand that the force of a nuclear blast is not going to be focused at the asteroid...it will be spread out in 3 dimensions around the source of the blast. The asteroid will only feel a fraction of the total tonnage, and that, the scientists are saying, is simply not enough.
Because most people, probably she included, don't know the difference, and probably wouldn't care. Aggrivating for us, but not too important otherwise.
That's nothing but a shameless Microsoft plug, attempting to draw our attention away from the lawsuit and "towards the future", of course, built on microsoft products.

They didn't. See?

So...why do you read and post then?
Really? Everything I've read is conflicting...what are you basing that on, I'd like to read more about it (as if my schedule allowed it. :) )

You can't crack the mantle, it's molten.
you think yours is better??
Like THIS one??
Nah, Steve Bushemi could handle it...we just need to give the poor guy a chance!

Second. (Motion carried?)
