Or just give a 98-cent piece.
Without the four-coin restriction, the obvious solution is to reduce the number of coins handled to one by having 99 different coins.
Or just change to a pieces-of-five system so only four coins are necessary: 20, 40, 60, and 80 cents. No pennies.
In fact, most states have "Good Samaratin" laws...
You know, the source for that phrase is from a popular book. If you use the phrase you should have read it, just as if you want to use "Round up the usual suspects" or "I feel pretty and witty and bright", you should view the source so you know the context and inferences. If you read it you should have learned the proper spelling. Or maybe you have only read it in the original Hebrew and Greek.
The concept of a gun connected to the officer is a real concept that exists and can be used. The officer is issued a device much like a wristwatch, which communicates with the pistol.
The concept is called "Smart Gun", a weapon which only works for authorized users. The term covers any identification method. Some of the technologies are fingerprint scanners or sensed-code rings or bracelets. "Authorized users" might include several people. I am not aware of anything which is in production, and state this so we'll immediately get corrected if others know otherwise.
Back to the video topic: Does "aircraft gun camera" mean anything to you?
You forgot the wireless camera which each officer would wear, requiring twice as much storage if it's a two-man car (or a K-9 car). More if the car has several cameras pointing in all directions to record all the stupidity that the officer sees through any window or mirror.
Some of the cost could be offset by the sponsorships by AllPoliceVideoAllTheTime.Com and The COPS Channel. (Be sure to tell your TiVo to record "All Shows Within Six Blocks Of My House".)
Next the guards will be asked why they or their supervisor did not push the "record" button to show that during the previous five minutes they got on the elevator for one minute, during which he is seen falling down.
Also the video of the elevator status display should show the motions of the elevator during that time, to ensure that the guards weren't wearing steel braces so they could simply stand there while the elevator zoomed upward with an acceleration of 5G.
Also the video of the video recording machine for the elevator status display should show that the recording of the status display was not tampered with.

Maybe all the video recording machines should be in a single room with all the machines in the center, with eight cameras recording all sides and each other.
Put your collector in an orbit other than the difficult orbit which always places it between the Earth and the Sun. Then the collector's shadow is not always on Earth. The obvious solution is to orbit along the terminator's path, so the collector is always next to the Earth (relative to the Sun) rather than in front or in back. Or put the collector further from Earth, and it then is hard to eclipse Earth. Or put it in geosynch orbit, where it is tilted relative to the Earth's orbit and only might eclipse the Earth twice a year.
The other issue you are missing is the lack of gravity. Huge structures can be assembled with much different supports than would be needed on Earth. Particularly if the materials are easy to get to orbit -- read up a bit on Solar Power Satellites and you'll see the proposals to mine the Moon. The low lunar escape velocity allows stuff to be tossed up rather easily.
Every fuel has potential. At the very least, as long as it is on a shelf it has potential energy from gravity. Any shelf with possible fuels has potential fuels.
The lasers here use more than 1000 times the possible electric output of the United States in one burst (through capacitors.)
After we build airplanes out of black-box material, we obviously have to rebuild our power plants to use capacitors so we have 1,000 times more power available.
Anybody in the area, we're going to need a lot of help cleaning up.
Uh.. anybody in the area is busy. You need anybody outside the area to help.
And you'd think those airplanes should be the best things to survive being flung into the air...but they have enough trouble surviving hitting a bird, so I suppose hitting one with a cow isn't going to be any better.
I suppose... there isn't a possible way (using any of todays scientific means) to "break up" a tornado that has started before people are killed and/or homes destroyed?
Yes, there is.
A thermonuclear weather modification device will evaporate all clouds within seconds for many miles around. However, a half-mile-wide tornado is probably preferable to a thirty-mile-wide circle of severe-to-total destruction.
Another means within our technology is to build a mountain which is sufficiently tall and wide to interrupt the airflow. The tornado is likely to reappear after the cloud passes by, but at least the top of the mountain only gets strong winds rather than a tornado. However, construction is too time consuming for it to be placed in the correct spot in time to affect a specific tornado. (Of course, a tornado can form from a higher cloud so a funnel hits the top of the mountain but that just indicates you didn't build the mountain "big enough" for that specific tornado)
Having a steam engine does not mean your boat will move in a straight line and is not going to leak. If the "steam engine" rule was not in a specific game they'd just use six automobile engines to power their boat (two to launch it in the water at 30 MPH instead of hauling it with a rope, two engines for propulsion, and two in the water cannon to blast the other team). The fun is in seeing how they try to make something seaworthy and streamlined out of pieces of things that were not designed for this situation...and what happens when it is used.
We probably also don't see the shows where one team grabbed all the seeded steam engines so the other team had none. "Cut! People, we need a little change here..."

Pocket PC is OK. My Pocket PC handheld runs Linux just fine and is quite flexible and useful. Well... my "Built For Pocket PC" handheld.

A [percent] sign of political correctness run amok.
Yeah, because now people might stop trusting what Microsoft says.
Just make sure you have your filter goggles on so you're safe in there.
But Uncle Fester had a wireless lightbulb in 1967. But he couldn't transmit while it was on, except in Morse code.

Or is blasting the inner surface of the containment room merely the final test of the containment room?

I don't think they get it. Maybe we have to mention a yellow brick road.

I often also enhance myself with sugar.
When you are both .NET people, that is zero degrees of difference. The distance to zero degrees of difference is one URL.
That's all well and good, but can they schedule the Conference in 2020 to be in Luna City?
