Opting out also puts you in a list: one could instead avoid signing in: use a mail client for your gmail, browse anonymously, spoof the referrer, use proxies depending on your paranoia level- that kind of thing.
Security guards and, if things get ugly, dogs: it is a proven measure- it is easy to implement in countries where labour is cheap and cablefuckers are on the loose (like, say, Turkey, which is undergoing a boom in the sector of construction). Perhaps in other countries it is more expensive when you have to pay your guards real (non-turkish) salaries, but what the heck: you will be creating a few jobs.
Consider having a volcano erupting in your face. And then consider how to wipe off the lava off your eylids, and how to get it out of your nostrils and scrotum.
Time to fine them a few billions to make them remember.
On a state level, perhaps. But on a user level, this sounds like their old "we-are-your-only-option-deal-with-it" behavior: they seem to be stuck in the 90's- can't they see that users can simply turn their back on them nowadays? Users that they have never respected?
Those elements in the TSA are a fucking embarassement to both their agency and their country; that behavior should not be tolerated, and this situation can be easily remedied with heavy penalties that will act as a warning to the rest of the TSA lot that is there to loot while in uniform.
Slightly off-topic, but since TFS mentions it, am I the only one that finds the designation "African-American" stupid? I have heard of Native Americans, yes. But no "European-Americans", or "Caucasian-Americans". And somehow, Asians are just Asians.
while acquiring velocity perpendicular to the orbital plane may mainly rely on thrusters, which would be expensive.
Again, no. You can slingshot by approaching the southern hemisphere of a planet, and be catapulted perpendicularily to the ecliptic, exiting from the northen hemisphere of the catapulting planet - it makes no difference.
There might be a miniscule gravitational pull towards the plane, but that's nothing compared to the one originating from its main contributor, the Sun.

We should organize them into some sort of federation.
What if they organize us into one of their colonies?

A Disk, a Black Flap, and a Scorpion walk into a bar:
The disk got conscripted by the barkeep for serving, the Black Flap flapped the bar's black door, and the Scorpion killed them all.
Then they had an orgy and lived happily ever after, on Venus.
so what's stopping you?
Waiting for the next best thing, that's what. Oh, and that unreasonable three-day waiting period for new tracks.
so the rate is 6.4 millisievert PER YEAR, well above the limit.
WHAT limit? Did you even understand my point?
"Apple Unveils Software to Try and Patend the Textbook"
Forbes knows no love.
Steal a phone! Now you can get instaCash (tm) for it!
well above the annual 1 millisievert limit the government has established
1.62 mSv is not "well above" 1 mSv - it is practically the same.
Physics courses should be mandatory for "journalists"- as usual, they have no fucking clue what the hell they are writing about.

private cars, trains, boats, planes and spacecraft.
I always wanted my private train.
So I, for one, think we should consider it.

Saline water has always been the bane of electronics: pure, de-ionized water is an insulator.
Yes. More purple energy.
Gnome 2 and KDE 3 are DIFFERENT, but they are DEFINITELY "polished" and very usable, even if you don't PERSONALLY like them.
You are wasting your breath- just take a look at his other posts.

It used to be simple, now I have no idea what the frak is going on.
If you are going to link to an article as a means of making a point, it's often best to read the article.
I think that statistically, this doesn't happen much here.
So, how many times you recon can a manned mission to Mars move back and forth between Mars and Earth under a $76 billion per year budget?
That is seventy-six BILLION dollars, of which twelve BILLION are JUST for research. Per year.
My place. $9.99 a head. No refunds.
Why couldn't they just send one upwards out of the plane of the solar system? Wouldn't that be quicker?
Because it would be whooshing through dust particles that orbit along the plane twice in its orbit, and it will get bashed up pretty quick.
