...it's half a binary planet.

... and how to effectively address it

Uh, stop using gadgets while driving?

I was trying to submit a Windows 7 bug report last week and found it damn near impossible. It's like they would rather pay you to NOT submit bugs.

If the universe is deterministic, there is no need to store the past states. From any given state, you can run the universe backward or forward however you see fit.

Voyager had just taken its first step to becoming V'Ger by that 1-bit point mutation.

Could it be more ironic to redact the contract for a website that is supposed to make things transparent?

Yes, bats...

You can't be so sure. I mean, look at the difference in inclination and longitude of ascending nodes between the two orbits. At collision, the relative inclination was nearly 90 degrees! There was therefore a crapload of plane-changing velocity imparted. I think that this would make for a massively unpredictable orbit for the chunks. Eyeballing the tracks is not a good way to get an idea for the path of the debris in such an extreme case.
