Sheltered cycleways would be the most green idea.

Why would you put them in the car park and not on the roof where they can be angled and unobstructed, with no new engineering challenges. Sheep can still graze under the panels on farmland. Not that I'm advocating, farming sheep or usi

> About 80% of this commercial space is parking lots. It's wasted space. Why not use it to produce power? You didn't get my point obviously. Parking spaces are to park on. When a car is on a parking space, it's blocking th

Wouldn't it be simpler to dictate that if you own a commercial warehouse over xxxx sqm you must install solar panels, or allow them to be installed. Give large incentives, better rates, it's not like the nuclear industry don'

I have huge respect for PHP, and many years of PHP development under my belt. I wouldn't dream of using it for something pretty heavy weight such a this. Certainly a factor that would come into play for some prospective users.

A great benefit is you end up in the heart of a city, not at airfield 80 miles away. Lock your bag up in the station and explore. If you like your long railway journeys, Olso to Bergen is beautiful 7 hour trip.

Here I am developing a BLE ethylene monitoring device. Arg, your implementation is so simple. My kickstarter is doomed to failure.

Why anyone would pursue such a suboptimal installations is beyond me. Researchers finding ways to waste grant money I guess..

Not forgetting cache, and the fact that slower response times aren't horrendous in the scheme of things.

Zend Engine has been under it's own Zend license for 15 years I reckon. The web would probably look very different without Zend.

It does reduce your view of what's out there to some extent, giving seemingly undue bias to certain services or opinions.
