Really, when you get right down to it, Heinlein was dreaming of a better world. One where we are all a little bit more like bonobos. And also, our own parents. On both sides. Just like bonobos.
10x the size != 10x the mass. That would be more than 1000x the mass. 10x the volume would be more than 10x the mass (due to increased core density of a larger object of similar composition).
Finally, 10x mass does not produce 10x surface gravity, since volume is not constant.
Basically, you're just making stuff up, and doing a poor job of that.
You can't have a gaseous planet with the mass of earth at 10x the radius of the earth--the density and pressure profiles won't work.
I still have a guitar amp with vacuum tubes, what's your point? The Navy has literally dozens of nuclear reactors in operation that are designed to run for decades (I believe the number was 30 years) without refueling or modification.
Can't speak for DoD, but at Los Alamos Unix systems were the norm in my group. My workstation was Linux (by my request), most of the people in my group used OS X, and all of the servers we logged into were UNIXes of one variety or another. But that's just my anecdote.
You are a/.er. You lack the necessary upper body strength to propel the key with sufficient linear and angular velocity that it not only inserts in to the lock while rotating clockwise, but continues to rotate with enough angular momentum to engage the tumblers.
Encrypt, then wipe. Random data overwritten by random data means that even if they try to recover from the wipe, they will never know that they have recovered the actual cipherdata.
For a nine year old car I'd be happy to get US$2500. Granted, Americans drive more. I live in Los Angeles where most people drive 20+ mi each way to work every day--never mind running errands, shopping, taking kids to school, etc. My five year old car has 175,000 miles on it.
Everyone knows that everything that big record companies, movie studios AND game studios churn out is grade A quality! The mere mention of the idea that the reason for a game to sell poorly is because it sucks is like suggesting the sky is purple! EVERYONE knows that entertainment products only sell badly when they are pirated or when consumers are otherwise cheating hard working media executives out of their money.
Ever hear of a Faraday cage? It's not that hard to install one in the walls of a building if you want to block incoming/outgoing signals. You can even just do them to specific rooms or portions if you like.
The defense's inability to get a witness is irrelevant so long as they have the opportunity.
The fundamental fact is that black box evidence should be illegal--having a breathalyzer that is not examined to ensure its positives are real is like having no chain of possession for evidence--in either case the evidence cannot be trusted and should be thrown out.
More drunk drivers will not be on the streets because there is already almost no punishment in most cases. The solution is to up the punishment (which should be a permanent ban from operating vehicles without an ignition interlock at minimum, and no that wouldn't bar someone from driving a dying man on the street to the hospital in a car without an interlock, necessity is a valid legal defense).
"Excuse me while I kiss the sky" is a lyric from Jimi Hendrix's 'Purple Haze.' It caused much confusion at the time because it sounds a lot like he's singing 'Excuse me while I kiss this guy.' Given that the song is pretty clearly about hallucinations it works either way.
Positively right. I rolled a 1 on my reading comprehension on that one. Or it could have been that I had my morning coffee after that. Yeah, that's what I'm gonna go with.
I have generalized anxiety disorder and irish coffee (bastardized in my case, 2 cups coffee, 1 shot milk, 1/2 shot irish whisky as opposed to the proper 1/3 all the way around recipe) is PERFECT for the physical symptoms (muscle tension, tension headaches, fatigue). Doesn't do much for the anxiety itself though.
Sleep takes too much time. 2 cups of coffee = 2minutes to brew, 5 to drink if I don't feel like burning my mouth. Seven minutes makes up an hour of sleep. Much more time efficient.
Assuming you stick to reasonable doses (under a gram is reasonable, over that and you're pretty much gauranteed to hit toxicity levels) there is no difference from getting it from anywhere else.

You haven't worked with stupid kids in a long time if you think they are cooperative.
And by meeting, he means fucking.
Anyone snarfing my quantum disk had better be buying me dinner first.

I hope not...
It's called a pyramid scam for a reason.
To shut up the whiners who didn't act prudently or responsibly?
Unfortunately, the majority of the US population are children over the age of 20.

Blasphemy!

I always wondered how many people use nicotine gum not to fix smoking cravings, but just to get high...

Are you sure that's not a guy you're kissing?

I'd be more concerned about the diabetes than the caffeine addiction at this point.
What if you were hallucinating that you were sleepy?
Why?
