Sadly, I know lots of people who use the same password for everything they do online. Lots of them provide their real first and last name when asked too, and have one single email address that they use for "verification" purposes everywhere they go. So that means a hacker who has your $ASININE_SOCIAL_SITE password now has a good shot at all your other passwords, and if they care to take the time to figure out your likely username (based on the real name you provided and the real email address you provided) they can go ahead and log in to Amazon and buy themselves a nice Christmas present.
Well at this rate, it would take around half a billion years to colonize the entire galaxy, which over cosmic timescales isn't too bad I suppose. As for visiting other galaxies, I'd be inclined to say it could never happen, but then it seems that our nearby galaxies are going to visit us so that saves us the trouble.

Yeah, those have worked really well as a counter to the extremely well-funded, well connected campaign being run by the RIAA/MPAA. Just look at how the government is scrambling to amend laws and scale back corporate power.
I want to have the right to fondle everyone on the same flight as me, attendants and pilots included, all the passengers, and they should all have the same right to fondle everyone else.
