Have you ever waiting a helicopter in the field at the freezing wind? In some areas of the Far North in winter, you can get only this type of transport and a half-hour delay is acceptable and understandable, given the length of the route to at least a hundred kilometers. At the same time, trying to leave the sleeping area of the city in the evening time, you can waste more than an hour at the bus stop without result ...
This month in some cities of my country introduced a system of automated payment for travel. The real improvement in the quality of passenger transportation services is a complex undertaking, so I remembered the offer to the owner of the company, where was working as a programmer. In addition to solving professional tasks, I was urged to bring new ideas. For almost 10 years not much has changed here in terms of informing passengers at city-wide transport stops. So, here is a draft of the project, which I called that time a Distributed Automated System of Public Ground Transportation Control (DASPGTC).

Robots do not forgive mistakes
But my generals in a slavery of the images of military magazines, and order for them - uniformity. If I'll give them a will to put in order the holy books, in which revealed the Lord wisdom, they will start with the letters, because even for child it is clear that they are mixed up ...

Publishing, among others, quite rare original materials containing more than 600 images and detail descriptions of the various embodiments of software GUI for Blood and plasma Centers, I was thinking that the content is interesting to the reader, and search engines, endowed with a remarkable Artificial Intelligence, will take care of expressions and words frequency in the articles by itself.

At the same time, reading on the Internet the descriptions of doorbells that reproduce up to 30 pleasant melodies, I got an association with the phrase, which is set as epigraph to this article.
