Tokyo traffic control 

Trendspotting firm CScout Japan has published a few excellent photos of Central Processing Unit's Sector RJX Supplementary CompNode 13, where The Computer's loyal servants recently increased salient Normalized Transportation Efficiency quotients by almost 0.75% year-on-year through the ingenious expedient of renormalizing all figures from "number of vehicles" to "number of wheels" and then assigning high-priority lanes to vehicles that are missing one or more standard wheels, or rather (to use CPU's preferred new Parlance Upgrade) are "highly wheel-efficient."

--What? Oh, wait. These are photos of Tokyo's traffic control center. Oops.

Then to know that as a simple tourist you have to use that same map as well. In particular the Japanese language version. Of course you don't have to worry about controlling the traffic, only riding it, but still it can be a challenge.

Most PARANOIA-like element in those images: The giant hand, replacing the all-seeing eye, in the 3rd one down. That is CREEPY.

No, seriously. If you make non-commercial use of stuff here, that's fine, but we reserve all commercial rights, and all rights to prepare derivative material on things posted here. In addition, posters of comments must be aware that we reserve the right to use whatever material they post here, and/or derivative works therefrom, in PARANOIA, supplementary products, licensed products, or derivative work, without any compensation whatever, for all time to come and throughout this universe and any alternate universes that may be discovered. At our discretion, and without obligation, we may, if it strikes our fancy, make a good faith effort to credit you for stuff we use, but we can't promise it won't slip our minds, in the hurly-burly of meeting deadlines. (Actually, we intend to do that, but it's possible we'll screw up.) By posting comments, you grant us a non-revocable, perpetual, non-exclusive license to use whatever you post, in whatsoever fashion we deem useful, here or in any other forum, in PARANOIA or in any and all future products, including but not limited to derivative works, and specifically but not exclusively including the microbrewery beer, ale and porter; salty and sugary snack; and tattoo design rights deriving therefrom. Woohoo! Is that enough legalese for you? The Computer is Your Friend.
