Stories over 75 years old don't have the same copyright protections..
anyone can do 'a christmas carol' because it's copyright has expired..
using however, someones PRECISE arangement of the text is not permissible however- that has it's own copyright... so if I buy a current day copy from amazon, I cant scan it in... but if I buy a copy that's last edition/print was more than 75 years ago, it is fair game.
Oh christ, you just reminded me of something-- a great recollection....
My original//e had some lame-ass program to "meet the machine", it had routines to deal with typists who cheated by using l's for ones s and o's for zeros... if you did this, it went into this little diatrabe about how "to a computer, a 0 and an o are very different things"

why do all 20 tons have to come from the surface? if it's mostly MASS used to attract an asteroid, why not USE ANOTHER ASTEROID with boosters attached...
Seriously though, what's wrong with designing a generation ship by first designing a self-sufficient arcology?
as soon as you have a more or less closed system (bio-sphere anyone?) that only requires a little energy from external sources.. you can send generation ships..
say.. they find a planet with no ability to support any but cellular life, and leave a few microbes.. wait milennia, and kerzham!

Dude, suck it up, your assertion was wrong... that was the entire focus of my post.
2nd, think about it, they expect some employers (i.e. verizon) to need to verify 250,000 people at a time, with the government response available THE VERY NEXT DAY? yea, that's NEVER been abused..... by anyone....
further, phone companies and dentists can merely get a credit report by signing up with any credit reporting agency. Have you ever bought a car? auto dealers do them hundreds of time a day, in about 30 seconds, online. think anyone working there has ever pulled a date's records?
The Social Security Administration does not give out or verify SSNs for non government entities.
That is incorrect-- you can verify up to !250,000 at a time if you want-you just need to be an employer http://www.ssa.gov/employer/ssnv.htm in part There are two Internet verification options you can use to verify that your employee names and Social Security numbers match Social Security's records. You can:
Verify up to 10 names and SSNs (per screen) online and receive immediate results. This option is ideal to verify new hires. OR
Upload batch files of up to 250,000 names and SSNs and usually receive results the next government business day. This option is ideal if you want to verify an entire payroll data base or if you hire a large number of workers at a time. While the service is available to all employers and third-party submitters, it can only be used to verify current or former employees and only for wage reporting (Form W-2) purposes.

it's pretty good.
Among the other 'worlds gone to shit' elements are 'freevee' which is tv, which by law, must be on 24 hours a day in every household.. (I think there was even allusion to requirements that the volume be above 0 a certain number of hours per day, but I can't remember for sure)
I read the article at boing, and couldn't help but think freevee was next....
it'll never happen, you'll have to excuse me now, I gotta go to the store and get some more mokie-cokes....

Snort...
out of focus can be just the same as blocked for purposes of radio wave transmission.
two much gain means a lot of signal noise.
besides, I wear a lead skull cap myself, keep my hair shaved so that I can be in constant contact with the metal of the cap..
why do all 20 tons have to come from the surface?

but they STILL HAVE the hardware, which they can now continue to use, or sell..

I disagree strongly.. I can read an article and value it's content a lot quicker than I can generate an article.
