It's every parents dream to give their child more than they had. To bring them up in a new land, where they can grow up and work hard to erode that country's freedoms. You must be beaming with pride.
Because not enough landlords who routinely and successfully double people's rent have been ripped out of their homes and eaten alive while their families watched.
In New York City, A Community Bathroom Facility is a Starbucks. It's an unspoken social contract - you get to charge $4 for burnt coffee, we get to use your bathrooms (no purchase necessary).
As I understand, the arrangement is similar to that between the MTA and Intersection/Alphabet - The MTA (or city in this case) bears little to none of the cost, while the Corporation who installed them makes up the cost through advertising.
I design and oversee the execution of plenty of digital installations that have to withstand the elements & abuse from the public, and $20k a pop is not surprising at all. A daylight visible screen alone is like $3k - $5k, plus all the misc power & networking gak, ventilation & and possibly heating to keep the stuff within operating temps. Wrap that up in a stainless steel enclosure, bolt it to the ground, and get it powered and wired, and I'd be pleasantly surprised if the subcontractor made their 15%.
I've always assumed it was just a welfare program to keep otherwise useless and incompetent citizens off the streets. I mean, what would they do otherwise? The world only needs so many telephone sanitizers.
I always thought we would have been better off if Booth had the decency to cap Lincoln in the skull *before* he fought to hold on to the worst parts of this nation.
How many of those tabs are refreshing ads in the background, and would it start to become a burden on your network performance? I'm sure it's site specific; dozens tabs of social media is probably going to nuke a connection faster than a bunch of RFCs... Do different browsers handle it differently?
I'll have you know that the Chinese are still building plenty of skyscrapers in NYC. saudi, Russian and Chinese oligarchs have to stash their cash somewhere...
I was thinking about this recently for a similar project - I'll bet a piece of vacuum formed plastic with some rear projection paint combined with a pico projector could do a pretty good job of mimicking the physical appearance of an old CRT. Couple that with a bit of video processing to inject artificial scan-lines. Blinky & Cathode are two pieces of software on OSX that do a really good job of mimicking CRT effects.
If you file a $15M lawsuit because someone hurt your feelings, you forfeit the right to be addressed as a civilized human being. Someone should hurt his feelings with a 3' section of schedule 40 black iron pipe.
What else can they do? They can muster every last bit of sensibility they have and bring him down with non-lethal means. Multiple officers have him pinned to the ground - they've got the upper hand, and if they wanted to bring him in alive, they could have. Zap him again, or give him one good blow to the head to knock him out, or fuck it - shoot him in the leg! They've got his weapon, he's in a compromised position, and they're armed and armored like god-damn combat soldiers. Buck up and take this guy in alive. You don't get to tell me how much of a dangerous job you have if you've got carte blanche to empty a clip into anything that threatens you.
This will continue to happen until it is a dangerous practice. Dangerous on a personal level. It continues to amaze and disappoint me that there aren't more (any?) stories of high ranking executives and officers being found mysteriously disemboweled. "Gee wiz, I really would like to outsource this entire department to shitfuckastan, and find the carrot juuuuust big enough to keep the staff here to train their replacement, but I sure am worried about my entire family being slowly murdered and eaten in front of me when I get home" I know that's not actually how the world works, but a boy can dream.
YES. came here to say exactly this. I'm flummoxed over the the success of republican scare tactics over a demographic who you'd think would pride themselves on bravery and fearlessness. Afraid of immigrants, afraid of refugees, afraid of 'terr, afraid of gays, etc... I'm doubly vexed as most of this rhetoric comes from large swaths of the country that really aren't effected by at least some of 'scourges'; Trust me "Real 'Murica", no where within 1,000 miles of Kansas is ever going to be a high value ISIS target.
^ This. Do you really want to manage dozens of little machines? Matrox will give you gobs of outputs on a few cards. They're nothing you'd game on, but champs at what you're looking to do. Signal extension can get pricey, but if you want to do it right, and give yourself some flexibility, look at Creston's DigitalMedia Matrix. I think of it as a premium extension solution that includes free routing and KVM capabilities. Mix and match I/O flavors, and supports both UTP & fiber extension.

I'm sorry you're so scared. Who hurt you?

HA! "Little known Fact..."

Trick Eight (my personal favorite): "...bankrupting many of them and sending some out of the windows of Wall Street skyscrapers."

At no time in modern history has a gameshow host with no political experience been appointed to the highest office in the United States.
this will be used to help determine the best course of treatment for you, after they calculated your new insurance premium

Based on their latest offerings, I'd say they're now a dongle company.
What if you could use this same cord to charge the batteries in those wireless headphones?

..Which is why they didn't notice the dupe from a month ago.

It mean I spend every night sitting on the edge of my bed, with a gun in my hand, crying, son.
"Attempt no landing there" Didn't they understand?
