Why is New York State's nickname 'The Empire State'?
In 1784, five years before George Washington was inaugurated in New York City as the first president, he envisioned New York as the "seat of empire," thus giving rise to its nickname: The Empire State. New York has completely fulfilled the expectation that Washington expressed to the state's first governor, George Clinton.

How did the Empire State Building survive the Great Depression?
More input from FAQ Farmers:
- Just barely. The building was hardly occupied (some sources say no tenants above the 38th floor, some say 22nd) and got the nickname "The Empty State Building." Al Smith deserves a lot of the credit for keeping the building solvent, using all his political skills and charm to promote the building, get tenants, and beg the creditors to hold off. But another big factor was the observation deck, which provided more than half the building's revenue in the '30s, and made it the most popular building in New York.
- Sadly, Al Smith passed away in 1944, just a few years before the building finally achieved full occupancy and solvency in the era following WWII.
answer from answersthebest:
Alfred E. Smith a architect of the empire state building gave out free fire wood during the Great Depression. And the empire state buildings pay for people was a actual pretty good amount, so work continued in the empire state building.
Is it true that if you dropped a penny off the Empire State Building it would kill somebody if it hit their head?
No, a penny falling from the Empire State Building cannot kill a pedestrian. It is unlikely to even penetrate the skin of a pedestrian.
When an object falls to earth it gains speed. It eventually gains so much speed that it doesn't accelerate anymore, this is called Terminal Velocity.
If a human were to jump off a plane he would accelerate to his terminal velocity. If you take the mass of an average grown human, his terminal velocity would be about 100 something miles per hour. But the mass of a penny is only about 1 gram, so its terminal velocity would only be about 56mph. That means that the penny would accelerate to this speed and then it won't accelerate any more and it will maintain this current speed.
You also have to take into consideration that on a building as high as the empire state building wind rushes up the sides so your measly little penny would simply be blown away.
In the slim chance that it would hit a pedestrian, it would more than likely sting but he would be able to walk away and live another day. It is unlikely that the penny would even penetrate the skin of the human.
Even though the urban legend might not be true, it's really not recommended that you try it out yourself. The Empire State Building authorities have always insisted that nobody has ever dropped such an item from the top of the building, although this cannot be confirmed.

How do you network two buildings together that are half a mile apart when each building has a 20 station 100 BaseT LAN with a 24-port switch?
The easiest way (and reliable but not cheapest) is to rent a T1 line have it run between the buildings. If that's not an option then I would look into a wireless point-to-point solution. Some of the higher powered antennas available today can reach 16 or so miles, which would more than suit your needs. Another option is using a laser connection, but this requires line-of-sight between the buildings.
Wireless directional high-gain antennae would be cost-effective. T1 lines run $1k/mo or so.
DSL or Cablemodem at each end and VPN can also be cost-effective, but probably much slower than Wireless.
The fastest method practical to connect two points a reasonable distance apart is to use fibre optic cable. Many industrial parks have their buildings connected with fibre cables, and it can be very simple to connect a 100Base-F bridge to both ends of that cable. This would get you high performance, very reliable connectivity with no monthly charge.Cable and DSL are poor solutions, because they tend to severely limit "upload" speeds, and, frankly, are unreliable in anything other than business-class service levels, which are drastically (x5 or more) expensive than consumer versions. A T1 service can be expensive, but not always. T1 service between two buildings will actually require (2) T1 links, as the links go from each building to the telco Central Office. T1 service is usually priced by distance from the CO. You would not have to pay ISP service on top of that, so $300/month per T1 is not an unreasonable expectation for much of the US. Besides these options, there is also a microwave transmitter, which, while modestly expensive, can work through significantly poorer weather than WiFi, and has no re-occurring costs.
Overall, the easiest way to do it is via the wireless solution mentioned above: you will need an special-purpose antenna (which are easily available) to attach to a standard Wireless Router (actually, you need to read the documentation, and make sure that Router can act in Bridge Mode). The antenna will have to be attached to the outside of the building, and the cable between the antenna and the Router should not be excessively long (a couple of meters or so, in the best case).
Finally, if both buildings' networks already have Internet access, you can buy a VPN solution, to create a virtual network connection between the two buildings. You will most likely want a small hardware VPN device on each end of the connection, which will cost a few hundreds of dollars each.
