Where did Heinlein say that? I cannot recall and I have read most of his adult fiction and a few of his juvenile novels. Just asking to replace the hole in my memory.
Secuity theater has been on the decline from comedy to tragedy for a while. Now it is simply a farce. It is about control and money and the illusion of security.
This much more informative video by the Smashing Pumpkins clearly shows that the moon looks like either cheese or some type of cookie. Furthermore it is populated with ugly jumping guys covered with craters that are easily defeated with a parasol or umbrella.
That/. can post some interesting stories about gaming from time to time, yet has a gaming 'slashbox' that looks like it has not been updated in about 8 or 10 years?
First, here is an image from SDO today where I have highlighted not one but 2 giant triangles that are starting to form a third larger triangle. Clearly this is the Triforce of legend and when the third triangle appears Gannon shall reawaken.

...use the planets as the ships. Supposing a random distribution sunless planets, there should be plenty nearby. It would require less of a human built ship to reach. The planet itself could then be slowly pushed out of its orbit with its own huge mass drivers that use the mass of the planet itself as propulsion mass. If enough waste heat is generated in this process, it could bu used to power living areas and agricultural areas. Then speed no longer matters. You are on your new planet and simply park it in an appropriate orbit at the target star and begin terraforming it.
I know it is not NASA, and likely designed largely to protect expensive corporate resources. But still, we send fewer and fewer people up, but we watch every washer and paint fleck that is up there more. Saddens me.
Google Search taught me what my life was worth.
Google Docs lets me write at home in my socks.
Google Mail, I get so much I want to wail.
Google Maps led me into a criminals trap.
Google Play, another way to make me Google Prey.
...but they just can't kill the beast (that is the extant movie industry).
Anyone remember when you could get self-destructing DVD's that had an oxidizing layer that only made them good for a few days? That flopped, then IIRC Disney bought and tried to resurrect the tech.
Anytime these somebody at one of these companies gets an idea on how to put a fence around their users, they try it. The general idea seems to be if you throw enough shit at the wall, some of it is bound to stick.
Every time I hear of one of these crackpot schemes I don't know whether to laugh or cry, but I do get an image in my mind of Daffy Duck going "mine, mine, mine, mine" as he shrinks away.
The music and television references in the above are there because I want them to be. Issues a takedown if you must!
I just connect my LG optimus to the centurylink and ran a speed test. 214ms ping and 478k down. As a note someone else is using skype (audio only) on that connection right now.
I live in a sublet house that has free CenturyLink DSL included in the rent (shared over wifi). The service is supposed to be ~768k, their lowest tier. I normally got about 600-700k so the speed was as advertised. However latency was normally fairly high (90-150ms to google) and any problems with the line (like a slightly bad filter) made it skyrocket. In addition any downloads on the connection would make latency shoot through the roof. One 240p youtube stream from one of my housemates would send latency to ~600-900ms. Anything using close to the max of the connection would send it to ~1200ms and start the connection dropping packets like mad.
I still have this connection available to me, but opted to pay for my own Comcast Business Class service as I am a teleworker. My advice is go with someone else, quick.
For making me feel old. And also for reviving not so fond memories of inadvertantly infecting a whole lab full of PCs with the antiexe boot sector virus at the community college I worked at a year or so later.

...that outsourcing has benefited our corporations, and our economy. Joy.

Guilty. I had to read the headline twice.
Soon enough you will realize that you too love big brother.
So the choice is rigorous background check or rigorous backside check. Great!

Another scientific reason for women to say we arw the lowest form of life and reject us. Pepe Lopez, here I come.

Prior to Google+, the company's previous attempts at social networking — Orkut, Dodgeball, Jaiku, Wave, and Buzz — were largely failures,...
Prior to and including you mean. Maybe Google++ will be 'one' better.

Do what TSR did and name it the halfling.

Leaves nearly as good as toilet paper. - Claims oak tree.
The Sumerians and Assyrians were 'computing' on the cPad (clay tablets), long before any of this.
On phone so tl;dr, but how efficient, does it scale, and can it be done at an acceptable price for consumers?

Don't worry, you are protected by your tinfoil hat.
It should simply read, "The Ineffectiveness of the TSA"
