I was once inspired with the creation of a printer. it was a glorious idea, a glass door printing inkjet
the idea being, it would have an effective print area of about 4X5 inches, with the ability to do a dot a little out of that range in the corners, you hold the printer up to a glass door, have it draw the 4 dots, and then continue to hold it while it fills in the 4X5 inch section with ink. When that panel was done, you move the printer accordingly, adjusting the posiion til two of the dots of the corners overlap,-- tappa, tappa, tappa--
then it does the next section.. bingo- aligned, print the next 20 sq inches.
the kicker to assure sales, and yet remain liability free, is that it's also designed (ala APEX dvd players, which somehow always manage to be hacked to be region free) to accomodate a "leak" so that with a small modification (voiding the warranty of course) it also works as a inkjet tattoo printer.
suddenly, kids across america are snapping up the home tattoo printer.
there is no reason why one path couldn't move at differing speeds,
belt a- acceleration, lots of long straight grooves, about 1/4" wide, 1/4" apart, (like the top of an escalator tread) moves at same old airport speeds.. about 50 ft long
belt b- high speed, same width & groove,
starts at the last 20 ft of belt A, interlaced.. slowly raises altitude until it is above the height of belt A, and takes you from low to high speed
belt c- slowdown, same as A in reverse
only restriction, folks can not be allowed to walk down belt B,AT ALL, keep the spacing so that when you hit the slowdown belt, you are re-packed at the same distance as entry.. just hold on in place, or they will be one hell of a dogpile at the transition end..
for longer distances, you can have more gradients in the belts...
it's a poor solution.. better would be organic, something like stomach cillia, where the floor doesn't move the length of the journey, but little tiny bits from in place do- not my idea, something I read once.
the individual elements take turns dropping, moving a tiny bit, pushing up again, and moving you a tiny bit... done repeatedly= ya move down the floor- which doesn't move.
less to break down, and spilled drinks and food (as long as they aren't too hot) are actually welcome...

A great "life is hell" strip had Matt Groening quoting his father as saying to him "no toy is worth 59.99" and himself as saying to his kids "no toy is worth 279.99"
kids today, some of them, have enough discretionary funds to afford a cheap linux box..
they are certainly economical enough for "occasion" presents..
yes, set a rfid tag sensor in the asphalt,
and another 10 miles later, and then one more a mile later with a camera..
first sensor uniquely id's each car based on the occupants rfid'S, ten miles later, anyone who 'must' have been speeding to make it in less than 5 minutes, one mile later, take a picture.. mail a ticket.
not too different from red light cameras that automatically mail tickets to drivers today.

Yer really gonna be sorry you missed 3002..
here in the USA, schoolyear nominally being Sept-June, it wouldn't make sense to have the servers blocked during the summer
(I realize many places within the CONUS have gone year round on a rotating schedule- but it's still weird that the dates are Jul to Sept)
are you saying the new owners can read all the email to you? as they now own the domain?

but, I would not be suprised if they (RIAA) have representative powers...
Further, who says they must sue under the laws known as the DMCA?
if they can show a loss, other more established copywight laws may be applicable
Yes, I can easily take my conversation indoors if I want to
and then I can maintain my reasonable expectation of privacy..
-- trash? have you considered what is required to keep all your trash?
it's unreasonable for the state, that both prosecutes people for keeping landfills within their homes
(those people that make the news somethimes?>)
and to call trash potentially theirs at all times by default (at least from my house cans)
can't burn it... bury it... chemically consume it ... stockpile it..
you gotta put it on the curb

the correct answer is
slashdot is god.
at it's forging - it is shaped with the requisite bends to form arms encirclements, and a waistline, a collar-- and fit to the wearer.
but yet has no flex at all beyond a few degress of it's design, say 10? at anything approaching pressure, it interlocks into a solid mass?
DSL-Cable modem, not an option
t-1 available (FCC regs say so) but far too expensive for an individual
but, t-1 split with neighbors? possible..
possibly a whole flock of new customers with broadband
