Comment It's part of a trend. (Score 2, Interesting) 387

When I was taking stats, my stat professor told me that he saw the far east eventually becoming the technology center of the world because of the increased amount of technological manufacturing and R/D coming from that region of the world.

On the other hand, he said, the United States is pretty unmatched in agricultural exports because of the natural resources at its disposal. China seems to be the biggest importer of agricultural goods from the U.S. All of that is to say, we might eventually see an increase in the value of raw commodities some time in the near future because of their increased export value.

Since Slashdot is all about unsubstantiated rumors, is now an appropriate time to say I don't have any references for this?

Actually, if you RTA, the previous attempt epic failed. The guy was about to climb into the balloon when the balloon broke free and left for the sky without him.

That's almost as funny as missing the ground. Maybe Baumgartner will accidentally open a hyperspace window and end up on the other side of the earth...

A Hyper-Velocity Impact In the Asteroid Belt? 114

astroengine writes "Astronomers have spotted something rather odd in the asteroid belt. It looks like a comet, but it's got a circular orbit, similar to an asteroid. Whether it's an asteroid or a comet, it has a long, comet-like tail, suggesting something is being vented into space. Some experts think it could be a very rare comet/asteroid hybrid being heated by the sun, but there's an even more exciting possibility: It could be the first ever observation of two asteroids colliding in the asteroid belt."
