I wasn't criticizing your point about securing the internet, I was pointing out that it is pretty crass to talk about the taming of the West in these terms:
The American Way is to do some things because not because they're easy, but because they're hard. Because those hard things yield the greatest rewards. Including proving we can do anything worthwhile we want, even when the easy cop out beckons.
I suppose you could wave your hands around and say that isn't what you were doing, but that's what I saw.
Really, the crumpling reduces the acceleration, which helps with the real enemy, the energy in your body.
You have to deal with all of it, the various restraint systems and other crash safety systems help to keep the forces involved below damage thresholds.
If you do a little controlling for available horsepower, vehicles have improved a huge amount since 1980, but people have spent a lot of the improvement on having more power available.
I would worry more about the increased ionizing radiation exposure from being at altitude during the flight (we don't know what effects there are from terahertz radiation, we do know that ionizing radiation causes genetic damage; plus, there is a fair chance that the terahertz radiation is mostly harmless).
Yeah, I understood. My point was that their no-no list is likely "everywhere outside of the United States".
So if Google won't make promises about where the data will end up (Google was only willing to make promises about where it would not end up), it doesn't really matter where it won't end up.
It is sort of surprising that Google isn't willing to offer national partitioning though, I would think there are lots of businesses that would be comfortable storing data on Google infrastructure but would not want to expose themselves to other legalities.
Yeah, oops. I doubt he cares much about what I think though.
Moore has certainly made it clear that he didn't want anything to do with the movie that got released, but I'm not sure that extends all the way back into to the time when the book first came out. I can certainly see him changing his mind after League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
There probably won't be a sequel to Watchmen. It wasn't particularly successful, and a sequel would lose a lot of the core audience (read that as 'nerds').
(I didn't find any information about it, but I wouldn't be surprised if no one has the rights to even do a sequel; if Frank Miller still has the rights to the characters, no way will there be a sequel, if DC or some other company has the rights, then you have to decide if someone would finance such a thing)

According to The Simpsons, you can put on enough weight that the government will bail you out.
CPAs aren't so hard to find that I can't go out and find one with no felony conviction record.
but your just dumbing down America
Gold.

You have to be pretty optimistic to think Saturn is going to build any new cars at this point, let alone create new designs.
Why do you worry?

Too bad there are barely any indians left to kill.
(I don't think people living today are particularly responsible for the crimes of history, but we can choose what we glorify)
The guy who owns the bus is the one requiring the searches (If you can afford a private plane, you can avoid much of the hassle...).
I don't necessarily think it is the way things should be, I'm just pointing out that it is the way they are.
The buzz is important, but it is fickle, a bad movie might launch with high expectations, but people will quickly figure it out.
Isn't it well established that there is no right to fly?
(perhaps you are speaking more generally, but that's the status quo as far as why the invasion of privacy 'doesn't matter')

Aren't you a piece of work.
Yeah, it loads jquery from there:
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js
So Google knows that people loaded jquery from the XKCD page. How pernicious.

You do realize that your self reporting is nearly useless, right?
Given sufficient bad drivers, some of them have done hilarious stuff without actually causing any injuries or damage.
(I'm not insisting you are a bad driver, I'm just pointing out that you could be one and not be aware of it)
Does the guy on the other end of the radio get pissed off that you are talking with your mouth full?
If there are robot cars, can I just have one of those to drive me around please?
It's much more plausible that they simply don't want their data (silently) crossing any borders.
Breath deep there captain.
Maybe a good place to spell out what you are talking about, rather than relying on "this".
I don't remember if they actually spelled out that the entire civilization traveled together or not.
Yeah, oops. I doubt he cares much about what I think though.

The first sequel is easy: more aliens come.
The second sequel is a bit tougher. I guess even more aliens could come.
I doubt they bother coming up with a new plot.
