2029 is safe

From this:

It's now official. NASA's Near Earth Objects page lists 2004 MN4, the
asteroid that's been covered on slashdot recently, as having a 1 in 56,000
chance of hitting earth, and even then only in 2037. It seems that earth was
near the edge of the cone of probability of when it could go. As the cone
kept closing, the probability of hitting earth grew [to as high as 1 in 37], but it kept getting closer to the edge. It's now outside the cone, and we can be safe.

Now that that's over, maybe I'll try to discuss some less morbid topics ...
