This is exactly how it is done in all hunter gather and agricultural societies. It doesn't however work very well with societies that are advanced into the bronze age and beyond. So I guess it is fine for the USA which seems to be hell bent on rejoining the cadre of 'Developing Nations'.

Most ideas with dealing with asteroids attempt a form of thrust vectoring. A simpler solution than most is to add mass to the asteroid to change its orbit without blowing it apart. This can be done in various ways but one is to blast it with a water cannon from an accompanying space ship which will cause vectoring and add mass in the form of snow which will result in a change in orbit without the danger of breaking the object into a hailstorm of smaller objects.
I have used those in Haifa and Tel Aviv, but it is just waaaay to simple for America. The problem is that you still need parking cops to actually walk the pavement to check the slips and Americans are allergic to all forms of walking - even paid walking. The paper slips also generates too much work and the American jobless rate is still too low for them to consider actually hiring people to do mindless pavement pounding work.
Good grief, computers were invented during the 2nd world war in the UK and used to decode the German mechanically generated ciphers and it sure wasn't IBM. Where the hell did you get your tall story?
We need IPV7 that will merge IPV4 and IPV6 in a usable way. Keeping them separate and incompatible is a big mistake. There needs to be a seamless upgrade path from the one to the other, else it will never happen.
They are using a radar set as a data link. I'm wondering whether they are still using it as a radar to map the moon too, by using a different set of antennas.

Hmm, mainframe computers and dumb terminals... Something is wrong with that idea. I just cannot put my finger on it though...
It is funny that you say that. My terminal is an EeePC 701 with a USB_Serial adaptor and Cutecom.
It is a good strategy for society - it just sucks to be you.

Software patents definitely drives Free software - out of the USA and into other countries like Canada, Europe and Asia.
Wow man, I would rather smoke rope than chew it, simply because chewing rope would be freaking hard...
A mirror surface will harden the target, but even the best mirrors do not reflect all light and a combat laser can still burn a hole in it very fast.
Here you go: http://links.sourceforge.net/ Simple, non-distracting, never crashes, lightning fast...
Hmm, someone forgot to tell them that the launch costs will be 42 trillion dollars... Maybe they should work on a space elevator first.
If Sony plays it right, they can earn more from Google/Microsoft than from selling the hardware. I should go and buy some Sony shares now...
In Soviet America the Internet Czar is a Headless Server...

Hmm, they must have missed the part about 'low altitude'...
They should at least have turned the Macbook black to compensate.
It is no use setting sleep mode on the HDD if you leave Syslog running.
Not quite - wires also radiate. Google for TEMPEST.
Huh? What's People Eating Tasty Animals got to do with it?

It seems that someone finally found a way to get lazy, fat ass Americans to actually walk ONE block per day once in a while... ;)

Computer chips may have a long life but capacitors blow up after three to seven years, so that and the cooling fans are what limits the life of a PC.
