I heard of a college with an elevator with access restricted to certain faculty and students of rank. The method of control is an RFID smartcard, which all students and faculty likely have anyways.

How about Brad Carvey, brother of Comedian and SNL Alum Dana? Brad is know, in early digital video effects, as an inventor of the Video Toaster.

In a similar vein, there is Mike Meyers' brother Paul, who at one time was a musician.

Both brothers were the inspiration for Wayne's World.

I think Phil Hartman has a less famous brother.

In my taste/mind, Coca-Cola has a bit if spiciness to it, compared to Pepsi and most generic colas. I find little difference between Pepsi and store branded colas.

I favor Pepsi or generic, but will not turn down the offer of a Coke. Of course though, I have only a couple sodas a week anyways.

That is why I resolved to not make personal health resolutions some years ago, and so far have stuck to it.

My resolutions are more "stuff" based, which I am doing good at not getting old stuff, at least for the sake of it. This year, would be to sort through my computer files and be ruthless about deleting ones I don't need, and make 3rd media and off-site backups, as well as reduce my power consumption or that of the household, at least a peak electric rate periods.

I don't need it, and would be glad to see it go.

I would make Shift+Shift caps lock if absolutely needed. Hard to accidentally set.

The CR-48 "Search" key can be reprogrammed as Caps Lock.

Sony Walkman also is a specific product. There were many other brands of personal cassette stereos.

Both (iPod and Walkman) were game changers in their category though, largely making them a lifestyle device, mostly in marketing and good engineering.

The difference is, Sony largely started the category, while Apple joined an existing category of somewhat geeky technical devices, and engineered it into a lifestyle device anybody used.

For an aircraft, even the short haul commuter planes this seat is for, no. Put them on ground based mass transit sytems, sure.

Or use them a seats on a roller coaster, with appropriate restraints of course.

I will say, in Canada, we have gone to coins for $1 and $2 denominations, and have partly modernized the look of the money the past 15 years. They have been colored for some time longer than that. Except for The Queen on the coins and $20, we have dead prime ministers still.

The series of bills pictured with Obama look like they are from the later 1960s. They need more security features.

IMO, money is too sacred to put non-presidents on, that is what stamps are for.

The "Jobs" bill is a bit "loud", but could be re-worked to make it practical.

The Monroe/Angelou bills look the most practical.

Some of my favorites are the where they basically get to use the back lot, such as City On The Edge Of Forever, the one where the planet is run in a Nazi esthetic/order, and the one where they come to a planet ran by people emulating 1920s mobsters, featuring Vic Tayback.
