You need ONE, good sized monitor for your windowing display. Users can task switch and arrange the windows how they want to. Satellite displays are for data that MUST be shown at all times, or that must not be limited by inclusion into the windowing system. They should be basically static in form, and have purpose-built instruments, rather than general-purpose monitors, preferably.
Those top-monitors are useless: while your users are glancing up at them, they're not looking at their screen. With proper window-switching they could've twitched their fingers, rather than craned their necks to get that information.
Monitors that high up really aren't for the use of the people at the station. If you're putting them there, they're for people behind the people at the station. e.g. other workers, supervisors, etc. And should be sized appropriately to be read from the distance they're being used at.
Keep in mind that humans can only read one monitor at a time, anyway. Just because we have a lot of peripheral vision doesn't mean it's useful for *reading* or taking in graphs. You only really need one monitor per set of eyes present.
Not only can you get better than HDTV resolution, you can also get significantly better than HDTV refresh rates. Further, you're not restricted to the HD aspect ratio, and you won't have to deal with "overscan" settings because the HDTV's controller expects to be translating analogue signals for some reason.
Close. The internet was designed so that researchers could share data to plan world war three.
Actually, probably just the first part. Although the researchers were funded through defense funds, so ostensibly they were working on things that might be useful should world war three occur.
Anyway, there's no way to predict it would survive a disaster that big, and indeed even mere wind storms can knock it out over whole regions. But your plan of distributed authority is still not a bad one. They just need more communication forms than just "hope the phones work." And even then, only if their business plan contraindicates a disaster plan of "send employees home for a few days of unplanned vacation until the network is back up."
If they want to add numbers, let them. If they don't, leave them alone. If they want to know about the past, let them. If they don't, leave them alone. If they want to do science experiments, let them. If they don't, leave them alone.
If they want to read books and poetry, let them. If they don't, leave them alone. If they want to appreciate or create art, let them. If they don't, leave them alone.
There's a point at which you're not advocating for liberty any more, but ignorance. And ignorance is a powerful tool of enslavement.
The public school system was established on the notion that it is beneficial to society for everyone to learn something of certain subjects regardless of the ability of their parents to provide for that instruction. If we're going to say, "if they're not interested, don't teach it" about them all, then why are we bothering with the public expense? Let people take care of their own kids, then.
A fitness class isn't, or shouldn't be, about a drill instructor pushing students through a grueling regimen of sit-ups and jogging.
It should be instruction in the things we, as a society, have learned about fitness. Which means that there should be book-time and practical instruction. You shouldn't be forcing kids to pump iron all day, but you should teach them how to do it without injuring themselves and to the maximum benefit.
Similarly, a brief introduction to the various modes of exercise (e.g. sports, aerobics, martial arts, etc), and what kinds of expectations to have and how to evaluate their progress ought to be part of any physical education curriculum.
School is for learning how to be an adult, not just how to man the dials at the workotron, and physical health is just as much an important part of our modern lifestyle as anything else.
philosophers will tell you, must not be confused with "is desperate for money and willing to do it because there is no viable alternative"
And..?
Do you know why people might be desperate for money? Because you need money to live. You can exchange it for goods and services which you require in order to survive, and which you may not be able to produce yourself.
So, what you seem to be saying, is that it's better that someone considering prostitution should die, rather than be allowed to engage in it.
Because if you're really suggesting that there should be social services available so that they don't need to resort to prostitution, then your argument for making it unlawful kind of evaporates.
battery-electric vehicle may use 34 KW/h of electricity
That IS bad. After only 3 years of engine-time, you'll need a full Nuke plant to power just *one* of those.
per 100 miles
Criminey! Assuming it averages about 50mph, that means it'll only take 23 hours to require a 1GW dedicated power plant, and it only gets worse from there!
Woah, woah, You're not going to get a 1000kg all-electric Prius.
Furthermore, the cost of acceleration doesn't hurt the Prius nearly as much as the SUV, because the Prius can recover some of that when slowing back down, so it's still an unfair comparison.
Further, furthermore, You're using the wrong units anyway.
You need to know: kJ to accelerate through the different ranges (say, 0-25, 25-35, 35-55, 55-75 mph) as those are typical limits. Tweak the ranges so that you can interpolate the rest without being too bad. And you also need to know how much of that you can expect to recover (0% for the SUV, some higher number for the prius), and you need to know the the ongoing energy cost (in either kW, or kJ/decameter) at several reference speeds (depending on where the shift points are, perhaps, in cars with discrete gear ratios)
Then, it does make a lot of sense to bill fuel by the kJ rather than the gallon (which offloads doing the thermal expansion calculations to the purchaser, who almost certainly has no freakin' clue how do that, in order to make proper comparisons.)
If you have those numbers, you can plug them into your typical driving scenarios (or directly into your GPS....) and get a real good estimate as to your expected efficiency.
Ok, but then you have to propose things that actually will reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Banning nuclear power, and even LNG terminals really doesn't accomplish that goal.
Hint, natural gas comes off the top of oil wells. If the oil companies don't capture it and sell it, then they burn it off, and the extra reliance on coal burning because of it doesn't help things any, either.
Neither does Ethanol fuel help anyone but corn farmers.
Similarly "Carbon Offsets" mostly don't.
There is a raft of schemes and scams and wishful dreams out there that people are screaming, "We have to do something, and this is something, therefore we have to do this," that will ruin us if we fall for them.
As a fellow skeptic, I have to ask you not to throw around words like "theory" so casually. Theory is actually pretty far along on the scientific spectrum of truthiness. If something gets to "theory," it's had a lot of work backing it up, which has held up to a good deal of scrutiny.
Dismissing something as "just a theory" just makes you look foolish to those who know just what a theory is.
And anyway, it gets in the way of the real goal, which is to keep government from trumping up GW and AGW to usurp more power and force huge lifestyle changes that won't even accomplish the goal of reducing the the thing they're ostensibly trying to prevent (Just because you're suffering, doesn't mean you're necessarily using less energy...), and due to all the hype, casting doubt on any real evidence that is collected.
If it weren't for the power-grab, there wouldn't be so much emotion getting in the way of evaluating what the researchers are really saying, right?
The question is, were they unresponsive because they weren't interested in cooperating, or were they unresponsive because their terrible networks dropped the packets containing the request?
If you're thinking grub should load the code from some fixed space in the Linux partition, then every single FS would have to agree to reserve that space. Including the ones like JFS that come from elsewhere.
And if GRUB is using unpartitioned space to keep me from having to do that, then why the hell am I advised to stick/boot on its own ext2 partition, and more importantly, why do I have to run the grub utility every time I edit the config file? If I have to run the utility after every change, it can sure as damn recalculate the blocks the relevant files happen to be on.

Inefficient.
Also, that only works if you have the thing you need. You might need to do

Side note:
Why is the good coreutils documentation in info, which on linux distributions is so useless that no one ever thinks about using it?
GAH, gross.
