Most airports use some form of colour coding (such as green for "go to gate" and red for "final call"). I have seen station displays use flashing text to highlight platform alterations.

If a 747 hits anything while it's in the air, it's pretty much goodnight nurse if you happen to be on the plane.
It does not need to be in the air
It is usually bad input: People who press both the "up" and the "down" button to make the elevator come sooner.
The best way to solve this is to make the interior buttons reject floor selections which are not in the direction of travel (accompanied by a warning siren and message to help educate the retarded user)
I used to work in a building where the lift controller would crash (not respond to any buttons), a hard reboot usually sorted it for a while.
It usually went down after people abused it by holding the doors open for too long.
It was an Otis built in the early 2000s
To spot suspicious activity the locks would need to be networked. For retrofitting into an existing hotel this would not have been practical so a stand-alone system was developed.
Some systems do keep logs (the Ving Classic lock claims to store 600 events) so it would be possible to see which cards have opened the lock.
It is possible to measure speed using two cameras a distance apart.
Average speed camera systems are becoming common in the UK.
Since this just uses the magnetic swipe available on the card what will happen after Chip and Pin is introduced in the US?
The readers for this are a lot bigger (since they need to have a keyboard) and have higher security requirements making them more expensive.
Keeping Ceefax alive would mean that they would need to have three versions of most text content (website, red button and ceefax) of these ceefax was the most limited (there was a fixed amount of space on each screen).
The BBC service on digital TV kept the same pagenumbers for a lot of the content so that it was an easy transition for viewers.
My TV cached the Fastext pages (this was noticeable if you advanced onto the next page before it had been broadcast and loaded). It did make things a lot quicker when going through the news pages.
Fastext also allowed access to pages that did not have a page number (instead they had an alphanumeric reference that could not be entered on most TVs). This was used on the Teletext service (on the commercial channels) to run some multiple choice quizzes.
The more popular pages (particularly the index pages) were transmitted more often than the less popular pages which increased the speed for most users.
My physics textbook at school (2000/2001) talked about the "new" invention of the (audio) compact disk.
Interestingly it said people preferred "all digital" (from recording to production) versions since it was less easy to edit the recordings and the were therefore more real.
They may have spare capacity, but their cable network mainly serves residential areas, not the centre of cities.
I would assume that they will offer full speed access for a fee as there will be lots of people who want the higher speed access, but not have home broadband from them.
I considered getting cable (TV, phone and broadband) from them, but they seem to have forgotten that they cabled my part of the street.
Amazon offer free delivery from the UK to the Netherlands (under EU rules they may be forced to charge VAT on books sent to other countries [in the UK books are free from VAT])

I would suspect that there is a limited range of books published in Dutch (compared with English) due to the limited number of speakers.
