been a year?
Mat: i found out this morning that fox gets its morning pastries from porto's.... that's a sucky drive for someone to make everyday
me: from like glendale or burbank?? wow
Mat: probably burbank
but maybe glendale, i dunno
me: yikes
this is why we need transporters
er like in a star trek way :D
Mat: yup that would be good:) Make life ever so easy
me: for sure
Mat: tho, again, i must remind you that law and order on every level is predicated on the ability to control movement and borders
me: i knowwww
Mat: :) you are a closet anarchist arent you
me: nah, maybe a closet unite-the-world-ist? :D
we should all be hippies! peace on earth!
Mat: think about going to sleep at night, in a word where you deadbolt means nothing
me: hahahah
Mat: a little bit... scarey perhaps:)
me: i think it's scary even with a deadbolt
hahah
Mat: but you lock it anyway.
me: you do
hahahha
i'm thinkin like, transporters
stations
not beam me up scotty
necessarily
ya know? that might work
Mat: i for one still appreciate hte regulatory processes like customs, prisons, and bank vaults
me: hahahah
Mat: what's the diff between a transporter station and scotty's transport deck
me: if you go station to station, then those are the only places where someone can beam in to. if you have the lil chip on ya that can make you disappear, then you can go anywhere to anywhere
i feel like station to station is probably more of a real possibility anyway, not the chip
if you have that, then people will probably build their own private stations that can transport them anyway from the comfort of their own home... but at least they can't get into yours unless you have a station yourself
Mat: ah ha:) Okay. I see, so you regulate who gets the "station" like we regulate the control and manufacture of nuclear weapons
me: yeah
someone is in charge of a public station
it's be like... trains or something
airports
Mat: i don't think that level of security clearance is gonna get porto's to Fox tho.
me: but probably less scary than airplanes flying around
in terms of having an airplane fall on your house and kill you :D
hahaha maybe not porto's to fox.. but maybe somewhere closer to portos?
fox is a big enough company that they might have their own station :D
Mat: ha ha, yes less scarey than airplanes i nthe sense that they fall out of the sky. More scarey than airplaes in the sense that criminals can take control of trnasporters in the same way they take control of airplanes, but instead of crashing an airplane into a building, they teleport lethal substances all over the world instantly
me: yep
that's why they have to be inside buildings
that have sensors
to detect problems
Mat: like ariports
me: and shut down the building
i like how we're trying to practically talk about transporters
hahahah
Mat: its thursday
me: hahah
Mat: :)
