And so the screw begins to turn

and the State thinks it is finally starting to censor the 'net, when all they are doing is obscuring the Web.

Stupid.

Don't worry.

Black holes don't suck.

Not any more than they did before they became black holes, that is.

If the sun became one right now, (not that it can- not massy enough) then you would not notice- until it got dark, but everything else would carry on pretty much as normal.

No magic at a distance going on here; move along.

Knowing Prof Cyborg-

and his ideas of 'cybernetic implants'

He would probably have glued an EM80 'Magic Eye' to the back of his head...

10 years is too little!

Last time someone eared my baseball cap I had to chuck it away. Bloody ear marks won't come.out....

Anyway, for an interesting take on the loss of privacy due to technosnoopery , take a look at ' The Light of Other Days' by Arthur C Clarke and Stephen Baxter.

Food water and air will be planned for-

Facebook? For groundgrippers.

Beer? There will always be beer. Even if it has to be wrung from the rocks, there will be beer. History has proven this.

RE Re:...

For Hard X-ray lasers, shine a torch out of the front window at .99c.

For proper Exotic ship-to-ship combat try The Forever war by Joe Haldeman.

True and also-

Inserting current themes into story arcs, just so that they will resonate with the viewers.

But what did he expect them to do?

He gave them no options, no alternatives. No - 2do this and you will be safe".

So they carried on.

Lizard Planet Saxe-Coburg - near future:

Lizard1: "Your Enormity! the scanners have just picked up a broadcast! It may be a new food source..."

Lizard2: "Fool! Look at the backward technology. These are not the meaty food creatures we are looking for.-That wheeled dustbin is quite good though."

Just keep complaining.

If one or two handwringers can spoil everyone else's innocent fun just because They Don't Like It, then nearly a thousand voices should be heard.

It's their job to listen to complaints- particularly when they could concern a new cult.
