Call me when it's powered by steam

Babbage is famous for having said while correcting errors in astronomical tables, "I wish to God thes e calculations had been executed by steam."

According to Doron Swade, the senior curator at the Science Museum in London when the first machine was constructed, and head of that project, what Babbage meant wasn't necessarily the literal use of steam power, but the general concept that properly designed mechanisms were more reliable than humans. Babbage's design for the Difference Engine No. 2 shows the machine to be powered by a hand crank, though when constructed at the Science Musuem it was found necessary to add a 4:1 reduction gear as otherwise it required too much force for a person to crank it. Note that in the years since its construction the machine in London has been "broken in" and has become much easier to crank, suggesting that perhaps the 4:1 reduction could be removed.

Had Babbage's plans for the Analytical Engine come to fruition, it might very well have required actual steam power, as it had almost two orders of magnitude more moving parts than the Difference Engine No. 2.

Why is there no link to the original article

What original article would that be?
The exhibit site is here.

That one even prints out the answer on paper.

So does this one, since they're both the Babbage Engine No. 2.

Printing on paper is one of the LEAST interesting thing the output mechanism does. It also produces stereotype plates for a printing press, and the formatting is programmable. It can format the results in two, three, or four columns, with adjustable line spacing, with an optional blank line every n rows, and in either row-major or column-major order.

I hope it becomes possible for me to live on the moon much sooner than that! (Not that I'd necessarily want to move there, but it would be nice to be able to go for a vacation.)

On the other hand, it would be nice to be able to expect to still be alive in the next century.

The TSA employee that wrote that "Flying is not a right granted under the Bill of Rights" shows a surprisingly good grasp of how the Constitution and Bill of Rights work. He or she is correct in that the rights of the people are NOT granted by the Constitution or Bill of Rights, but rather rest innately in the people.

The Constitution and Bill of Rights serve as limitations on the power of government to restrict these rights.

Specifically, the right to fly is part of an unenumerated right to travel, and thus protected by the Tenth Amendment. The Supreme Court has on multiple occasions recognized the right to travel, including U.S. v Guest, 383 U.S. 745 (1966) and Shapiro v Thompson, 394 U.S. 618 (1969).

The Constitution serves as grant from the people to the government of certain powers. Article I Section 8 enumerates the Powers of Congress, and
Article II enumerates the Powers of the President. Neither of these include any Power to limit travel within the United States, require government issued identification for such travel, or conduct unreasonable searches and seizures (e.g., body searches and seizure of liquids, gels, screwdrivers, etc.). In fact, these searches and seizures are explicitly prohibited by the Fourth Amendment, since they are plainly unreasonable. (To be reasonable, they would have to serve a demonstrably rational purpose in furthering a legitimate function of government, and to be effective at performing that function.)

It's not likely to show up in any mainstream fonts, as it is just part of the Unicode Private Use Area. In the unlikely event that the Seussian Latin Extensions are ever standardized, they will be assigned different code points, as happened with Shavian and Deseret.

Edsger Dijkstra once said "if we wish to count lines of code, we should not regard them as 'lines produced' but as 'lines spent.' If you are cognizant of having a fairly specific, limited amount of a resource, be it money, time, or computer memory, you are more likely to try to spend it wisely than you would if you just view it as some vague, relatively large amount.
