I knows several people with Google Glass. None of them are hipsters, or jerks.
"Secondly, you forgot to explain why I should give a shit about..." Clearly you do, becasue you are posting. You do know that with websites like slashdot the point is to have a conversation? Not that you have to.
Based on your post, the only reason I can think you owuld post is because you want attention. So here is a cookie and a pat on your head. Good job. You can pick up your 'My mom says I'm important so give me a participation award' award on your way out.
"...but you'll never in our lifetime get people "comfortable" with some creepy asshole filming them out in public. " are you young? I can see many technologies in use today that would be seen as 'creepy' and never going to be accepted in the 70's.
People will get used to it, because people can get use to anything.
"Glass may be the straw that triggers the backlash." I disagree. Let me explain why.
Casino's. I was in Vegas last month, and people in casinos where takign pictures and no one cared. WIth their phones with DLS, and all over the place. A few decades ago when I worked in Casinos, you would have been asked to leave. After I noticed it I started looking for the tradition no camera signs, and I could find any.
If Casinos finally caved, then pretty much everyone is going to cave. The moments placed advertise no cameras, is the moment 90% of their patrons leave.
This issue is that some pretentious jerks looking for an excuse to hate. I would not be surprised if they never sad anything to people using their phones to take pictures. Phones, by the way, can be less obvious they are being used for cameras then Google Glass.
"The company you are ordering from will screw you on obvious errors every chance they get." no likely. But you keep to your delusions.
" On the rare occasions when they do not, it's called "breach of fiduciary responsibility" and is actionable. " Stop using term you clearly do not understand.
Yes, it's the clerks fault. You're an asshole. You could simply say "No". Of course I haven't been asked for any of the info in over a decades.
". I refuse to participate in data mining myself and they should be ashamed of themselves for asking." dear lord, they might get information to make there store better fit your needs! oh lordy lordy!
"The future is ultimately with 100% reusable "gas and go" vehicles with automotive-like reliability," You really have no clue about space flight do you?
We would need at least 2 major break through to make spaceships that don't nee to go throug riborious inspection after every flight: 1) A completely new type of complete ship shielding 2) Low g and low vibration lift off.
". It's got a thickness comparable to paper" What do you base that one? It has to be able to carry an elevator, you know for the space elevator
" will mostly burn up in the atmosphere" Do you even have a clue what cause things to burn up in the atmosphere?
Why do you ignore the fact that the counter weight is going to fly off, do a figure eight, and the come back to earth? When something strike the counter weight, it' will have a different angle of momentum and push it out of orbit, which will cause it to swing closer to earth, out of it's orbit and begin wrapping the planet becasue it will be pulled closer by the leash the attaches it to the planet.
I have yet to hear a proposal on how to avoid that from anyone who actually can do the math.
Of course, the idea s to get into space cheaper, but we need more then that. What will we do once we can get into space cheaper? IT won't mkae leaving the solar system that much easier. History has shown that when simple gets easier to get to, the general public and corporations really screw it up. We have a pretty large problem with space debris right now.

Why would you think she is lying? You can tell when it's recording. You may be a lying Sack of Shit, but don't project that onto others.
more to do with assholes looking for an excuse to harass someone, and possible a scam specifically to steal her purse,
Lets not attribute to society as a whole premises based on violate actions some some assholes who clearly need therapy.
Actually, he could have protected himself with, "B*TCH! Get out of my house!" If she isn't on the lease, then she is staying as a guest.
completely wrong. People who live there have rights to.
Really, you're an idiot.
Whose rights trump? The rights of the person who want law enforcment there, or the rights of the person who doesn't want law enforcement there?
it's a glut if only 4 were needed.

Datamining, sheesh, so what?
No. its better the 15 years ago. Nothing compared to 25 years ago.
The one near my house as a bunch of arduino boards, as well as electronic components.
" would thus be quite costly."
So?
"The future is ultimately with 100% reusable "gas and go" vehicles with automotive-like reliability,"

2) Low g and low vibration lift off.
Even commercial aircraft get an inspection.
" they still wouldn't have been able to do it."
this actual report says otherwise.
But hey it's hard and risky, lets just not do it.
I remember people like you whining about dangers of Apollo and 'what if'. Screw you.
If not when, and so what? Seriously, its worth the risk to try and save people.
You're question could be asked by anyone wanting to rescue anyone anywhere.
And? Frankly it's worth the risk.
But someone of us would run under fire to pull an injured person to safety, and then there are people like you.
Fortunately Cowards don't become astronauts.
And? They do that now. Well, not the announcement bit.
"why can't I hire it to carry ME?""
because you would probably die.
All modern commercial aircraft can land themselves.
Automated system in aircraft respond faster and better to unexpected events then any human.
Such as...?
You post is mostly wrong and stupid.

when it come down? Having something that can wrap around the globed several times may not be such a great idea when it breaks at the anchor point.
"could be too close to comfort for the authorities,"
You need to get out more.
