fair market value of targets completely irrelevant and useless point of view for the purposes of warfare. Risk and benefit analysis of war doesn't include those numbers.
get real, 17 meter asteroid hit the ground once every century. usually in places where there is no one. even north russia is mostly full of places where there is no one had such a thing "come in at steep angle". you'd likly have a pretty hole in the ground for tourists, that's all.
you completely misunderstand the purpose and reason for the vietnam war. the strategic targets were off-limits because of them.
with n. korea the U.S. will have a different purpose, there are strategic goals that even the power and money grubbing scum with our politicians in their pockets must accomplish as they are dire threat to their wealth and power
they'd quietly kill of the movers and shakers in upper government and put in puppets, spent a few billion have a nice big colony next door. otherwise there is, after the smoke settles, real probability of U.S friendly ally right on their border
N. Vietnam did no such thing, the military was restrained by politicians. we could have wiped the vietnamese race off the face of the earth, and with only conventional weapons.
catching a 7 meter 500 ton space rock has nothing whatever to do with diverting dangerous asteroids or killer asteroids or even the mostly annoying asteroid that broke Russian windows. Real asteroid diversion would use tutally different tactics over many months or years, provided early enough warning was had.
Java 1.6 is the engine for java ee servers such as IBM websphere and tc server. there are still patches for 1.6 coming out, we just installed some at work recently for both the IBM and "Sun" (oracle) jdk
in fact, java 7 is optional add-on for websphree 8.5
No, you cannot 3D print a gun. you can 3D print a receiver, but the ol "lock,breach and barrel" you can't.
so anything that comes out of a 3D printer won't kill someone. if you printed a gun-shaped thing you might bluff your way through a robbery, but then a good toy gun or bb gun such as they sold in my childhood would be just as good.
wake up when someone can print a barrel that can take 15,000 to 50,000 psi of pressure and thousands of degrees of heat for some tens of milliseconds. or can print a hammer and firing pin strong enough to dimple a metal primer. or a trigger and sear that could hold that hammer. ain't happening for a long time....
Irrelevant to speak of fiat currency *partially backed* by a "gold standard". I'm speak of gold, not promises of gold nor paper that claims to be equal to gold.
Fact is $20.61 in 1929 would is like $273.01 of now, use a CPI calculator. But that $20.61 would buy an ounce of gold. Here in 2013, let's just say we're in bubble so we'll only take a THIRD of that ounce of gold's value, which would be $500+. Yes, we clearly have a "barbarous relic" alright. it's of the banking cabal and known as "paper fiat money".
most of the hundreds of millions of gamers and violent movie watchers turn into either homicidal maniacs or maiming brawlers. before we had violent movies and game there weren't any mass murders, genocides, wars maimings nor fist fights.

where do you get that silly idea? air bursts don't make fallout, underground penetration bursts don't either.

but they don't, look at real world results, neither omnidirectional nor frequency agnostic
we can't build a hollow tin can big enough to serve that purpose in the next century; we can't travel to any such place either in the next century.
the only possible benefit to space exploration in the near term would be for resources, by automated system.
yeah that totally prevented unecessarily protracted wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to line the pockets of the military industrial complex
they haven't stuck a fork in the spud and baked him yet
interesting question if the fractal antennaes modern units use make "hot spots" in the head

no, there are no more incidents there than anywhere else. that particular type of event occurs about once a century somewhere on this planet
mining would be done on huge asteroids without moving them at all, and only the products moved where needed. we would not play with little rocks

not technically true, Chuck ass-whoops the laws of physics until they obey him
wrong

pointless, since you'll never know whether a bug was fixed, and you'd have no way of getting the fix, except you pay oracle $$$$.
maybe use another language and platform?

that is absolutely false, classes for 6 might not run on 7, backwards compatibility *was* broken.

does it break backwards compatibliity with 7, like 7 did with 6?
that's been one of my major gripes about Java, write once, run anywhere until the jvm version changes, then you can be screwed.
should have added, that's only if you pay Oracle money. then you can get patches till 2016 from Oracle. For public patches for 6, you're SOL.

ah, you're one of those bump-firing recalculators. let's hope the Bureau of Accounting, Tabulating and Filing doesn't find out about that little trick
