The loss of privacy in today's society is becoming too much. Just 10 years ago we would have never dreamt we would be giving all this away.

What happens if the test is about the Mesozoic? No mention of life form in that case? Let's pretend all there was was insects and fish?

Question is, how long would the data search be at first until a new indexing technology comes aboard?

Sounds like to need to spend more time outside :)

TSA employees are not allowed inside airplanes without the consent of the crew, airline employees don't need that authorization. Also, if you read the article it says these people must be invited by the airline. You know what that means? It means that if you're not at least Gold Status (50,000 paid miles flown in a year) or more likely Platinum (75,000 or 100,000 miles) chances are you will not be invited. These are our best clients, why not trust them a little more?

It's not exactly like that, and it's not exactly new. First you have to pass a rigorous background check, the same one I passed to work for an airline.

When was the word "Hobbit" created? Because IIRC after 72 years a © expires

Disappointing: when I read "Rocketeer" I thought this guy would strap a rocket on his shoulder and fly that high over Hollywood. Bummer! Now that would have been something else

Still behind the Transformer Prime in terms of specs. And they totally copied dictation off Android, down to the identical icon. I smell a follow-up on the patent war.
