Get a pedal cycle and a dynamo. You should be able to produce 150W+ with that for a short while (an hour or two).
If you can't get a bike try a Concept 2 rowing machine - I've pulled 400W on one of those (until I reached VO2 max and fell off).
In the UK we don't have photo ID. So when we were signing credit cards there was much more reason to check that the signature on the slip matched the card.
Now, we've adopted a much more secure system using a smart chip on the card and entering a four digit pin into the card reader. No more signing slips.
They've had this for many years in France and have a much lower incidence of card fraud.
This is a good thing. I've never been able to duplicate the signature on the back of any of my cards. It always comes out different on the slip (different surface, different pen, etc.).
Chip'n'pin should reduce fraud. So now we're exposed to "card not present" as the new fraud.
Here in the UK we have a mishmash of numbers and letters for our post codes.
So whatever you do, don't try to validate it.

are all valid.
There is nothing that pisses me off more than when an internet site tries to validate post code as 5digits or 5digits hyphen 4dgits.
Give me a freeform text box, I'll give you my address in the form that MY post office will understand.
This government is well known for saying "No Tax increases" then slapping us with 160+ new "stealth" taxes in their last seven years of power.
They already tax the purchase of computers at 17.5% VAT (value added tax) on the purchase price.
How much more does Tony Bliar and his thieving government bastards want. Do they want a pound of flesh? Will they be taxing the breathable air over the UK?
Yes I did read the F***ing article.
I think the computing part of that set-up should include a webserver so that you can easily see what stage of the process is running. It has precisely nothing to do with GPIB interface to the expensive measuring kit.
If you're going to the bother of building an automated coffee roaster. It should be runnning Apache2 on Linux (or OpenBSD) and have a fully-fledged CGI interface to control it.
WDNNS DOS and Borland C programs.
At the same awards ceremony, Jane Tomlinson (who suffers with a terminal cancer) was awarded "Greatest British Campaigner". I think that is just a little bit more significant. She has raised £1,150,000 (~USD$2,170,970) for Cancer Research.
According to another article on the BBC news site

the threat of the volcanoes in the Canary Islands causing a tsunami on the Eastern Seaboard is an unlikely event.
There's not a single mention of this on the IBM website. It's FUD. It's a made up story to sell extra copies of the New York Times. Take it with a pinch of salt.
I've RTFA, one thing that was useful from that is that they found the backdoor in that old virus.
Open a port to the infected machine and you can control the virus before it cripples your network.
If the Symantec's and McAfee's are reverse engineering the viruses they could quickly publish a "shoot_the_sucker_dead.exe" that would open the back door and cripple the luser's machine or simply run the delete and die code that's already in the virus.
Well realistically they won't do that because it spoils their business model. They need the new variants so that they can preach "16,000+ viruses detected by Foobar AntiVirus v17.6". If we could shoot the crap dead quickly we wouldn't need Foobar AntiVirus v17.6 or have to buy the new super Foobar AV V18.2 for 2005.
Currently the worst part of viruses, for me, is the hundreds of copies of the damned things that arrive in my inbox, because some luser clicked on a bogus, dumb attachment in a note from someone they don't know with misspelt text and a crap subject line.

Isn't cryogenic computing the best way to get more speed out of your processor. Heat is the worst enemy we have.
One simple question: Can it run 30,000+ copies of Linux on a single piece of big iron hardware?
