Happened to see a talk by Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson last week. While discussing the many things he admits we don't know much about yet (dark matter, dark energy, etc), I want to say he mentioned something along this line.
I think I remember him saying that we don't know what causes the rotation of the gas cloud to start in the first place.
Once it starts, though, the material in the cloud will accrete into a more-or-less planar structure.
I think that was also part of why Pluto was reclassified; they feel that, it was one of these Kuyper belt objects which got dislodged from its normal planar orbit by a passing object, probably another star.
But I'm probably way off on what I think I remember and know.

Get yourself a little gyroscope and play around with it. Put some water on it and spin it. Maybe food coloring to more easily see the path of where the water spins off. Then consider if that gyro was huge so its gravity could hold things (water drops, ice, rocks, whatev).

Actually you are correct. Though this video is not 100% correct. It does help you understand how the planets are pulled thru the galaxy

Stars form when cold clouds of gas condense under their own gravitational attraction. However, any angular momentum the cloud has, due to its slow rotation, will cause the rotation to speed up as the cloud contracts, just like an ice-skater pulling in their arms, due to conservation of angular momentum. There may come a point when the material is spinning too fast to accrete on the central star and it may spin away. However, friction can cause some material to gain angular momentum and fly away whilst most of the material loses angular momentum and falls inwards. However, this only works if the material approaches the star more-or-less at an equatorial angle. Material trying to come in from the poles will be unable to lose sufficient angular momentum and is spun away. As the star forms, you have an equatorial accretion disc of in-falling matter accompanied by polar jets of outgoing matter. Any material left-over in the equatorial disc after accretion stops will be able to form planets.

I guess you need help reading the prolog at the top of this page.

This is the wrong place to ask this: this forum is concerned only with jokes, moans, and non-technical stuff. And other stuff. And some technical.
Please try again, posting your question here: http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/ask.aspx[^] and you should get a broader spectrum on answerers, and hoepfully a sensible answer.
But when you do, please try to give as much info as you can on the problem and what you are trying to do to fix it, why that doesn't work and so forth: Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - so we only get what you tell us to work on! The better the info you give us, then better the solution we can give you.

Post another question in the Lounge and I'll flag them all as abuse.

I think they're looking for programmers at Southern California Edison.

Automats have been doing that since at least the 1930s.

Custard pies to the face have been popular since the 30s, too. Maybe he should be educated.

Kids today can't be educated - they already know everything.

That's because the time-honoured effective schooling techniques, e.g. "the thick ear", have been hounded out of use by the wusses.

We have a menu driven ASP .Net Windows Application. The requirement is that we need to run the menus at scheduled intervals without any human intervention. How do we schedule
to run menus ?
How do we specify the Windows Project and the menu item programmatically ? Any help with regard to this will be greatly appreciated.
