This article made me think of all the technology that came before Star Trek.
I'm not an old timer, but you had sliding doors and turbolifts (A.K.A. elevators) back before the sixties didn't you?
I think the insurance company lawyers are already thinking about changing the legal language to "pre-existing human condition" in order to deny coverage.
You may balk at this idea, but never under-estimate human stupidity.
The costs are due to the actual 911 calls. Anytime somebody on wall street dials 911 and says they're going to jump, they can't seem to talk them down with out writing a million dollar check.
My guess is that you've never laid eyes on a call center. Usually the desks are about two and a half to three feet wide, and I believe the distance between aisles is dictated by fire code, although the general idea is to pack them in tight. To say though this is different than any other place makes me think you aren't basing it on much besides the math.
The studio has announced that the movie will be released in two parts. The general audience will see the 24 frame-per second "A" frames version in theaters, and only die-hard fans will be given an entirely new perspective with the $65 collecter's edition "B" version of the movie.
I have no shame, but even I wouldn't ride around in a rickshaw with my pants around my ankles to drop a load while I am transported from the hyenas to the hippos....unless they gave me a newspaper to cover my face with.
You've got it all wrong. The text isn't upside down. This is what happens when you cut the NASA budget, ALL OUR SATELLITES ARE UPSIDE DOWN IN SPACE NOW! Damn you republicans!

...but can I use it to get the first post on threads from the other side of the planet?
It's like the only qualification a president needs to handle a crisis like that. Incidentally, I was raised by hollywood.
Can you pirate your own article on piracy? Seems to spit in the definition of the word pirate, as far as the english language is concerned.

Growing up "RT" was code for "Rock Tit" A.K.A. Stiff Nipples. Although I can't say that the RT name choice gives me any...
