All you need is to hire the programmers who did the GW stuff. Tell then what results you want, and they'll supply the code and data to fit your needs. Well, they'll probably lose it for you before anyone else can review it.
MS wants you to run 64 bit OS, but says you should only run 32 bit apps because the 64 bit ones are broken. In other words, they want you to spend $$$ on an OS, you can spend $$$ on software that was written for the OS you used to have.
What do you do if these monkey soldier stage a coo? I'd guess you could just wait a couple of hours until they lose interest and go off in search of bananas.
What they need to do is switch to a more relevant OS, like VMS or MP/M, written in a decent high level language, like RPG or watfiv. Only then can they expect to be truly successful.
This is just caused by evaporation, which is caused by Global Warming. As the universe is heated up by all those SUV's, the poor protron is forced to sit around in its underwear and sweat heavily just to keep cool. Most of the loss is probably just the loss of most of its clothes.
I doubt this type of thing will be all that useful. For short distances, getting on/off isn't going to be much of a time saver. For longer distances, there are a lot more practical and safer ways to move people, such as a small automated subway type of car. With that type of system, your maintenance is less, you don't have to have the entire system functional all the time (what happens if a 5 meter chunk of your sidewalk fails), you don't have people falling down all the time, you don't need to figure out how to accelerate people from 0 to 30mph and back safely from any point, you can even have the cars travel above the walkways and be out of pedestrians way, etc.. It would also be more like a fun amusement park ride.
I don't see much advantage to a moving sidewalk, except that you might be able to enter from more points along the line, if you dare.
If you have a big internet pipe to each location, you could set up a series of receivers that acted like dvr's, then replace each TV with a PC capable of connecting to the dvr's. This will also allow you to access other media from your external sites, but it will probably cost a bit to replace all the displays. This will also make it easier to switch providers in the future.
Also, if Comcast has broken their contract, they should lose their franchise agreement. There are numerous content providers that might like to take over the franchise in your area.
If they were VT100's and VT220's, then they came from one manufacturer, DEC. There were knockoff's, of course, but they were usually given a slightly different part number. They were rarely exactly the same as a VT in terms of how they handled edge cases of escape sequences, which was a major source of problems when using their quirky varients.
And don't forget DEC's version of the DB9 serial port, which was a bit earlier than IBM's and had a different pinout. So, if you have old DEC equipment with a DB9 that isn't talking to you, you may need a different cable than you expect.
And, how did these shields affect the abaility of rain (water) to reach the plants? Were the ones in the farady cage given more water/care than the others? Were they all given the same exact soil mix to grow in? Just how unbiased was this person? If they were hoping for a specific result, there are a lot of things they could do in an "experiment" like this, even without thinking that they are doing such things. That is why the caretaker of an experiment should not know which sample is the one they are hoping will do the best.
Heck, she could have allowed her dog to pee on the unshielded ones, which would account for the color differences. Unless you protect a study like this from bias, you might as well not bother doing it in the first place. It's only good as just another media fear blitz, and not much else.
Or, you could probably also say, that plants given lots of sunlight and with a protective barrier against insects and other vermin grow better than those placed in a dark alley filled with rats of unusual size.
Like most of these studies that the news media have orgasms over, I suspect that they would be able to find whatever they wanted to prove. Science without mathematics, indeed.
Ok, do they also get a unique view of the new, like the "gravitos" thing that all the other news outlets came up with on the same day? You cannot compete with the major news networks unless you can also independently generate unique news reports just like them.
Yup, definitely the AGW people are stupid. One side insists that the facts need backing data to prove them correct, and the other side took a poll and claimed a consensus. Doesn't everybody learn in grade school that the scientific method is done by taking polls? Don't you remember taking a vote on the value of pi in junior high?

Depends on if you are viewing a porn site or not.

It sounds like someone at a drunken frat party playing one of those "look at this" games with a match.
Do we need to call an ambulance for this one too?
Maybe they are taking their rates from the toner industry. You pay >100x more for toner than you do for the same amount of beer.
Bacon!
Why does my house keep disappearing on me just before breakfast?

Imagine playing on one of these while wearing roller skates.
And, what about kids with squirt guns shooting at you as you go past at 30mph.
When walking up a hill sometimes I wish I did have a moving sidewalk.
Isn't this what you call an escalator? I don't know if I'd want to ride up a moving ramp at a slant.

Take a cane with you on this thing. You could whack various things with it while whizzing past them at 30mph.
Apparently the problem that people are getting too much exercise walking between buildings.

That gives you what, a 160 X 72 display? I'd like to see a xterm runing on a VT240. Maybe try it in an emulator sometime?

Science without mathematics. Sounds like an Al Gore school.

Is it like most of the FPS games? Travel to distant planets. Discover mysterious alien civilizations. Then kill them.
