Avatar was just Pocahontas, but replace a country with a world, and the time period some ridiculously distant future time. When you do that, you can do literally anything in the movie, and say "hey, it's in the future!"
I do say that to myself, everytime I walk, and hike. I'm in Phoenix, and it's (usually) over 100 during the summer.... WELL over. Go figure, the one time a temp spike hits the east Phoenix is below 100 F.
Most people on an escalator aren't set to hike up a set of stairs that size because they have heavy bags in their hands, or a mass of people contained in a small section of space. It's simple logic. Sure you can walk up when it's not congested, and there's no one with baggage in the path.
0.83m/s (meters per second) would be about 9,612 feet per hour, and a mile is 5,280 feet. So it's 9612 / 5280 = 1.82 miles per hour, or about 2 mph. The speed of an average human walking.
Speedy Gonzales was showing that it is possible to mount read-only, through a manual intervention. He wasn't giving you a fix, just showing it's possible.
Quiet a few customers would be upset if their stick was blasted, also. Easy changes, trivial changes. temp file to harddisk/memory for editing would suffice, much like every other editor. Mounting Read-only for the read and remounting Read-Write for a write, then remounting Read-only is the way a secure kiosk would handle it. It's a lightning fast process, it's not like a floppy.
It would require movement from the kiosk manufacturer however. I guess that's a bit extreme, we can't have that.
You're right, your Commodore 64 doesn't need a hard disk. Neither does my calculator. Point? the GP was stating that a hard disk failure does not stop it from working.
MTV was a music video transport system, youtube is a video sharing system. The two are about as synonymous as diet coke and vodka. Both have the same delivery mechanism, but the two have different intended audiences and a completely different intended purpose.
That being said, MTV is not anywhere near what it was in the 80's, sadly. I agree though on the first part, and the 'net is still in it's infancy.
What about the depleation of the ozone layer? Any correlation?
Nah, that part's pretty well known. Ozone depletion is due to pollutants that naturally and unnaturally come from societies in large numbers. It's something that's been fought against since the 80's.
You are the one that is not seeing the full ramifications. The world is trying to disarm from a weapon that no one wants used. Enough of the anti-this and anti-that bullshit. The world wants nukes gone, it's a zero-sum game.
After all, America is by far not the only nation who wants nukes to be diminished. If you haven't noticed, the nuclear stockpile has been dropping by huge amounts over the last 30 years. Have you missed that, or are you just conveniently not seeing it?

Which would go onto your card.. you know, the one held for potential damages...

And you'd be right.
It was a movie, though.
The problem is that whole physical movement thing and needing to do it takes too long between sitting down sessions :)

You say that like it's not what is happening... like.. now...
It's best not to generalize people. Everyone does that nowadays, geez.
Reasons for TV in a City:
Since this is vague and sounds like a 1940's comment, I'll add in a 2010 comment:
To watch while you want to watch TV
Your experience is very abnormal, I assure you. :)
Either that or you should stop using Gentoo as your distro

Yeah because if we talk about something it might happen.
Everyone knows that it hasn't been thought of before, right?
Security through obscurity is no security at all. Putting your head in the sand doesn't keep you safe.
If you've seen them, then yes, yes it does.
Yes, every woman wants a guy who runs windows

About as gay as Twilight/Lady Gaga loving Whiney little bitch children
gay 2010's style...
No, the waffle iron was still being invented. That cooking thing was pretty tricky back then.

That's lame... I'm sorry, but that joke's been so overdone it's cold and underground now...
yeah because we had nothing to protect us from solar radiation previously!
Thanks for sharing that.
I don't think we have come far enough to fall on our swords... while an atrocity, it can be fixed.

Those questions were the questions in the 60's... it wasn't an "ask slashdot" article.
