If we are planning to intercept an asteroid many months (years even) from impact we should be planning to do so well outside our solar system. This may mean we would need months or years for the intercepting weapon to reach the asteroid... not to mention the pre mission planning etc.
I think you mean many of the asteroid's orbits before the orbit when it will intercept Earth. The chance of a random asteroid from outside the solar system being a risk is rather small - intentional bombardment by the bugs aside. Do you wish to know more?
Sounds like its time to make the most of the GPS feature in new phones; if the phone is moving faster than say 5mph, disallow the reading and entering of text messages.
Ok some quick (most likely way off) calculations to work out just how long that would be:
The Phoenix lander is at about 234E 68N while Opportunity is at 1.95S, 5.53W and Spirit is at 14.57S, 175.47E.
Using great circle distances Opportunity is about 6040km away while Spirit is a fair bit closer at 3830km.
Assuming either rover travelling at their maximum top speed of 0.182km/h (not counting the need to stop and review the terrain every 10 seconds or to hibernate over winter) they would take this long to reach the Phoenix landing site:
Opportunity: 1383 days (3.7 years) Spirit: 876 days (2.4 years)
And considering this is a best case scenario it might be a little quicker to get a new mission plan through NASA bureaucracy and launch it to the same area than to try and drive either rover to Phoenix.
Ok this is weird, if I run the self extracting installer it starts to install some Xerox printer drivers instead of the WWT. I think it gets its temp files mixed with the drivers that I installed a while ago, it appears to install fine if i manually extract somewhere else and run the setup.exe...
IIRC for most of the series there was only five of them, and none of them was Blake. Cervelat the villainess was hot though. From wiki: Cervelat, also spelled cervelas, servelat or zervelat, is a type of cooked sausage produced mainly in Switzerland and in parts of Germany. In its modern Swiss variety, it consists of a mixture of beef, bacon and pork rind that is packed into zebu intestines, slightly smoked and then boiled.
I'm sure there a joke in your sausage appreciation somewhere...
How about some kind of incremental cooldown period for all newly created email account?
Ie on the first day an account is created it can send a single email. On the second day it can send 2. At that rate it will take 3 years before it can be used to send ~1000 spams in a day and probably wouldn't affect normal use too much.
If a user wants the limit increased/removed they could optionally interact with a customer service rep in some way to prove they are human.
Ok this was amusing, I just upgraded from 3b4 to 3b5 and it decided to replicate the forward/back button control a few times: Screenshot. Easily fixed under customise toolbar though...
Frankly, the whole Horse vs. HMMWV argument sounds a lot like someone only looking at one side of the coin. Horses can't carry nearly as much weight, require constant maintenance (you can park a HMMWV in a garage for a month, leave it alone, and it'll be fine), are fickle, need to be rested on a regular basis, require long recuperation periods after injuries, spook easily, offer no protection for the rider, are relatively slow, etc...
However you probably can't leave a few HMMWV's in a field and come back later and find you have a whole lot more HMMWV's....
If you could go back in time and get the autograph of Leonardo da Vinci, would you have him scrawl it some paper or would you have him write it on a bale of hay?
I think i'd rather go with a personally autographed copy of the Mona Lisa over those two options.
In Australia there is the Tracks4Australia project which uses user contributed GPS track logs to generate rural and remote area trail and road maps, mostly useful for 4WDers etc. They are working on a commercial product now but the basic mapset appears to be staying free.
They probably mean in %95 of the population areas of the country. They use similar figures in Australia to describe mobile phone coverage where %90 of the population is in %10 or so of the land area, mostly along the East Coast....
You don't have to enter the coordinates, you can just navigate around the world and click where it was taken. Though it still annoyingly defaults to some street in California that you have to zoom out from to find where you want.

Actually thats too big to be stored using a 32 bit number, so the localtime function wraps it around to: Wed Jun 14 11:09:18 1933
".... a subspecies of the Spanish ibex that live in mountain ranges across the country, in liquid nitrogen."
They should be cross-breeding them till they come up with one that lives in liquid helium instead...

And at least its up to date on Wikipedia, unlike IMDB.
The verified bit for the IMDB does (mostly) apply though.
and presumably https will not be blocked (as they will not be able to see the traffic).
It could be if they use evil products like the ssl inspection engine of Webwasher which breaks the entire trust chain...
There also is or rather was the the Cooperative Research Centre for Satellite Systems who were responsible for the FedSat. However this group was shut down in 2005 after its funding was cut.
Unfortunately Zathras finally got some rest a few years ago.
Seconded, I was looking forward to another KOTOR game, but now it looks like this MMO game that i'll never play will take its place.

Am I alone in having 'Aldebaran-Robotics' making me think of 'Sirius Cybernetics'?

If you can patent a single click whats to stop you patenting a double?
