They could lay out the escalators so that you have matching up or down side by side by stacking them 4 wide.
Start with two close together at ground floor, then two on the outside of those from first, then two close together again from second. That way going up or down would simply be a case of a quick turn at each landing.
a bit like having two spiral staircases close together.
I would appear that science as of late have run into a bit of a problem. This because it relies more on statistics, and statistics can be distorted by pre-sorting of observations (conscious or otherwise). This then leads to initial results that can not be replicated. Sadly a lot of this goes unnoticed as while the reports are peer reviewed, this do not mean that a test is duplicated by a third party. This in particular because setting up the test was expensive and/or time consuming in the first place. End result is that we have medicines and such being used that may have less of an effect then previously thought.
all of the mentioned games can be installed and played without touching steam. And being mmo's they are updated as needed anyways. What do Steam bring to this?
Huh? So far the only real "advantage" i have seen in f2p mmo's are that you can pay to have your character get a percentage more xp for a while. Hell, ever so often they give those away for free. Basically you are balancing time vs money. If you have the time to grind your way to the top, you can do that. If not, then you can pull out your credit card and pick up the slack that way. At the end all characters have access to the same powers and items.
Oh, batteries are perfectly replaceable. You just have to fork over the dollars for the warranty contract or the the billing hours for the "genius" that do the job. I wonder, do the bar serve refreshments while one wait?
Makes me think of the back history of Dune, tracing the movement of the seat of the empire from Rome to London and DC before heading into space with the first warp drives.
I think the inherent issue here is approaching government as a "us vs them" issue, rather then considering that government, at least in a representative democracy (take the "it is a republic" somewhere else), is by the people for the people. As such, it is there to uphold the rules that the majority of the nation agrees upon (you anarchists and libertarians can keep quiet for now). The last couple of decades however it appears that corporations and other special interest groups have managed to co-opt this system. As such we are seeing laws being written that will make the majority of the people criminals. Did we not learn a thing from the failed attempt at prohibition?
Well in this case it is not so much direct observation as trying to sort thru a whole lot of detected particles. Kinda like deciding to find one specific jigsaw piece in the box by sorting thru snapshots of the content of the box being tossed across the room. And while doing that they notice what looks like a 5th corner piece in what should be a square puzzle.
This went beyond Nexis Lexis and such. You could take collected record of a company your suing, feed it into the system, enter some search terms and it would not only spit out documents where that term showed up but also other documents that contained related terms.
note how if bit 2 of byte 1 in a MAC address is 1 rather then 0, the address is "locally administered". This means that the MAC on the chip have been overridden by the admin.
This can already today, in combination with something like a collection of public wifi hotspots visited at "random", be used to stay relatively anonymous online.
Makes one wonder how many tasks that a publisher today provides a author can be transferred to a computer.
Hell, i recall reading about computer software that would dig into piles of legal documents or company archives and then spit out anything relevant to the search terms a lawyer could come up with. Meaning that a computer could now replace one of the more mundane tasks of a para-legal.
And people still say that we can simply retrain members of a trade once automation takes over their jobs?
Too bad the courts and legislators are all to willing to accept the industries fictitious numbers regarding losses, yet can not wrap their head around value of public domain...

Iirc, ARM chips can do java bytecode in hardware.
Huh? Jobs specifically said "people do not read" as a dismissal of ebook about a year before Apple launched a ebook section of their app store.

Only thing missing seems to be razor wire fencing and automated gun turrets...

we are talking here about a paypal account, not a bank account, right?

Loan 1 000 and the bank owns you. Loan 10 000 000 and you own the bank...
Hope you have stockpiled ammo and MREs...
"(meaning any transactions after this I will never see until I'm over the $400 threshold)"
huh?
Do the vending machine take cards as payment or just cash?

Set up a torrent then ;)

Makes me wonder if customers have more leverage against Blizzard then they have against the bank they entrust their money to...
This would not the done on the router level in any case.
The basic thing about IP6 is that as it uses hex it can take the MAC of a card and use that as the basis for a IP. Iirc, IPX had a similar feature.
However, it is still possible to tell the os to use something different then a MAC as a basis.
