I put in the data from the NASA page. It won't be *too* bad, unless you happen to live near (~2 mi) where it lands, in which case you're screwed.
Your Inputs: Distance from Impact: 16.10 km = 10.00 miles Projectile Diameter: 400.00 m = 1312.00 ft = 0.25 miles Projectile Density: 8000 kg/m3 Impact Velocity: 17.00 km/s = 10.56 miles/s Impact Angle: 45 degrees Target Density: 2750 kg/m3 Target Type: Crystalline Rock
Energy: Energy before atmospheric entry: 3.87 x 1019 Joules = 9.25 x 103 MegaTons TNT The average interval between impacts of this size somewhere on Earth during the last 4 billion years is 1.2 x 105years
Atmospheric Entry: The projectile begins to breakup at an altitude of 14200 meters = 46500 ft The projectile reaches the ground in a broken condition. The mass of projectile strikes the surface at velocity 16.8 km/s = 10.4 miles/s The impact energy is 3.78 x 1019 Joules = 9.02 x 103MegaTons. The broken projectile fragments strike the ground in an ellipse of dimension 0.705 km by 0.498 km
Major Global Changes: The Earth is not strongly disturbed by the impact and loses negligible mass. The impact does not make a noticeable change in the Earth's rotation period or the tilt of its axis. The impact does not shift the Earth's orbit noticeably.
Crater Dimensions: What does this mean?
Crater shape is normal in spite of atmospheric crushing; fragments are not significantly dispersed.
Transient Crater Diameter: 6.92 km = 4.3 miles Transient Crater Depth: 2.45 km = 1.52 miles
Final Crater Diameter: 8.95 km = 5.56 miles Final Crater Depth: 0.572 km = 0.355 miles
The crater formed is a complex crater. The volume of the target melted or vaporized is 0.238 km3 = 0.057 miles3 Roughly half the melt remains in the crater , where its average thickness is 6.33 meters = 20.8 feet
Thermal Radiation: What does this mean? Time for maximum radiation: 0.4 seconds after impact
Visible fireball radius: 6.69 km = 4.15 miles The fireball appears 94.4 times larger than the sun Thermal Exposure: 6.93 x 106 Joules/m2 Duration of Irradiation: 8.72 seconds Radiant flux (relative to the sun): 795
Effects of Thermal Radiation:
Clothing ignites
Much of the body suffers third degree burns
Newspaper ignites
Plywood flames
Deciduous trees ignite
Grass ignites
Seismic Effects: What does this mean?
The major seismic shaking will arrive at approximately 3.22 seconds. Richter Scale Magnitude: 7.2 Mercalli Scale Intensity at a distance of 16.1 km:
IX. General panic. Damage considerable in specially designed structures; well-designed frame structures thrown out of plumb. Damage great in substantial buildings, with partial collapse. Buildings shifted off foundations. Serious damage to reservoirs. Underground pipes broken. Conspicuous cracks in ground. In alluviated areas sand and mud ejected, earthquake fountains, sand craters.
X. Most masonry and frame structures destroyed with their foundations. Some well-built wooden structures and bridges destroyed. Serious damage to dams, dikes, embankments. Large landslides. Water thrown on banks of canals, rivers, lakes, etc. Sand and mud shifted horizontally on beaches and flat land. Rails bent slightly.
Ejecta: What does this mean?
The ejecta will arrive approximately 57.4 seconds after the impact. Average Ejecta Thickness: 4.9 m = 16.1 ft Mean Fragment Diameter: 7.12 m = 23.3 ft
Air Blast: What does this mean?
The air blast will arrive at approximately 48.8 seconds. Peak Overpressure: 1.25e+06 Pa = 12.5 bars = 177 psi Max wind velocity: 860 m/s = 1920 mph Sound Intensity: 122 dB (Dangerously Loud)
MFC is for building Windows applications that look like Windows applications, dumbass. You don't need a Windows GUI on an Xbox. Seeing as the site is/.ed, I can't see screenies, but I'll guess it doesn't need MFC and uses GCC.
If anything, development of a good "open-source" 3D card could be hampered by patents.
What about Mesa? A custom version could be written for this card to provide at least basic 3D...actually, it'll be like running Quake 3 on an S3 Trio64V+, but you get my point.
To clear things up, I use Windows XP (prepare to mod down). Also, I have 2 hard drives.

I thought it was the many simultaneous BSODs around the world.
Wait, those are from the people who upgraded to Windows 98 the day it was released.
OK, so, Krakatoa in a densly populated area. Got it.

That is so fucking insightful.
From what I heard, they're completely rewriting OpenGL support (at least for Windows).
It would be even better if, in a couple of years, they can say:
*Preload with MS Windows compatible operating system -- ReactOS 1.0
You just figured out the critical second-to-last step!
I'd be less concerned about the computer fucking up than your processor somehow being a Pentium III and a Celeron at the same time.
Why is this game referred to as Prince of Persia 2? The actual Prince of Persia 2 (The Shadow and the Flame) was released in 1993.
If you've ever been on a torrent with 1500 people and the speed is only 5K/s, this is why.
There's a Doom 3 torrent doing that. Like 4 months after the game came out.
I've used this. I should try it with Ad-aware, f-prot, spybot, etc. for emergency reapir.

No, the plastic on the server case, shortly before it was /.ed.

I like the idea. But, make sure to do these:
1) Take out dangerous utilities (partitioning, hdinstall)
2) Make it Christmasy (slideshows, etc)
3) Take out $OTHER_CRAP
4) If possible, also include Windows Ffx/Tbd, OOo, GIMP, etc. on the CD. If you can't convert the OS, at least try the apps.
Problem is...people who have learned MS's flavor of Basic are going to have trouble using RealBasic (at least last time I tried, OS8-era).
And you can only hide the pop-ups for 10 seconds.
(play halo 2 as an elite to get it)
Oooh! And Sony Bono Skiing! Can you base it on Microsoft SkiFree?
Using Visual C++ I see....who uses Windows on a spacecraft anyway?
Eh. I used 0.9.1 from June until last Tuesday. It was great.
Why do I find it ironic that you hope Patrick will recover, yet you have a FreeBSD link in your sig?
Erm...when was the last time you used Firefox? 0.7? 0.3?
It improved. A lot. I can't think of anybody besides you that went back after trying it.
1. Examine number of users that choose to use OpenBSD on their machines.
2. Examine number of network monkeys that choose to use OpenBSD on servers requiring above-average security.
I think you see my point.
Yes, coders need the Internet. But, no coder would be very happy with dialup.
