Four Kids Confess to Goner Worm

Yet another annoying worm comes and goes, wasting countless IT hours, to say nothing of bandwidth. The kids face up to five years -- of course since they aren't in the U.S., they might actually be punished.
Why are you all calling it a scooter? I'd say that's a bit of an understatement.
I think all the people who are saying "electric scooter, big whoop. $3,000, yeah right" are slightly missing the point. Yeah, it's kind of wimpy for the price tag. Yeah, it's kind of expensive, and it's questionable who would want to use it.
But this is just the first model. It's more sort of a proof of concept--a demonstration that the scooter can work, and looks as neat as all get-out in motion. As time goes on, the performance will improve and the price will fall.
Look at the Palm (Pilot). The first model was, what, 128K? With no backlight, no infra-red, or anything? And how high was the price tag? And now the Visor Deluxe, which was at one time the wet dream of anybody who even looked at a Palm, is only $130 brand new.
Look at the DVD player. The original models were expensive enough, the first bunch of discs were glitchy enough, that a lot of people scoffed and made snide remarks. But the DVD went on to become the fastest-adopted new consumer technology ever.
So here we have a relatively slow, electric-powered self-stabilizing scooter, for $3,000. Are very many of us going to buy it? Do very many of us have the money to sink into that sort of gee-gaw? No and no. I know I'm not going to be spending three grand on something like that myself, either. Nor would I be likely to spend two grand, or even one grand for that matter.

I wish I had mod points. (+1, insightful)
My Karma was at 49, then they switched to words. All that work for nothing!
I like chicken. Chicken tastes alot like itself. Chicken is the most versatile tool in the universe. Chicken is amazing. Chicken ownz j00. Chicken kicks your ass. Chicken has mad skills. Chicken McNuggets from Mcdonalds suck hairy grandma ass, but Chicken Nuggets from Wendy's Rule the World.
I also like to get a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger with No Mayonnaise from Wendy's. I hate mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is evil. Mayonnaise is so evil that it will grow hair if you leave it out in the sun for 1 hour, start to talk after 2 hours, and try to take over the world in 4. We must stop all the mayonnaise from taking over the world. I'm a member of the anti-mayonnaise club. Mayonnaise sucks ass. Chicken kicks Mayonnaise's ass. If there were a celebrity deathmatch between Chicken, and Mayonnaise, Chicken would definitely own Mayonnaise. Probably, the Chicken would rip off the mayonnaise's top, and pour the Mayonnaise down the sink.
If you think Mayonnaise is wonderful, like my friend Shahram, who eats Mayonnaise by the tablespoon, you can come over to my house and I can kick your fucking ass. Shahram is a stupid Iraqi. He has a big nose, and a big Adam's apple. Chicken is tasty.
Chicken should rule the world. If chicken ruled the world, I would bow down before Chicken. When Chicken rules the world, I'm sure Chicken will destroy all Mayonnaise. I once found a fried Chicken head in a box of Chicken Mcnuggets. The only reason I bought a box of Chicken Mcnuggets was because the nearest Wendy's was about 60 miles away. I was in Idaho. Idaho is a stupid place. Toronto is another stupid place. Once I got lost in Toronto and I had to stay at a different hotel than the one I was staying at, in order to get to the one I was staying at. I was staying at the Holiday Inn, and in order to find the Holiday Inn I had to stay in the shitty Novotel next to the airport for 2 days.
Canada is also stupid. When I went to Canada, there was no Dr. Pepper. Canada is basically England, but French, and Big, and just North of the US. England was fun. It was more fun than Canada, except for when I fell down the 3 story building when the London punk pushed me. I got £200 from that asshole after he pushed me so that I wouldn't press charges. I couldn't, anyway, 'cause I wasn't a citizen. I learned how to row a rowboat in England.
There is no Iced Tea in England, so I was very depressed when I was over there. Everyone says Colour instead of Color, and Cheque instead of Check. In Scotland no one wears underwear.
Do you know what a Scotsman keeps under his kilt? His family jewels. I learned that from a tour guide in scotland. The tour guide was like 900 years old, and a veteran of the Scottish revolution. He smelled like that odor removal stuff that smells like shit itself.
In England everything costs what it would cost here in dollars, except in £ and in metric system. Gas was like £2.25 per Liter, which is like $8 per gallon. That's why no one ever drives in England, but traffic is so bad. In Canada milk comes in a bag.
The baked potatoes from Wendy's suck. Once I was eating at a Shoney's in Tennessee, and I ordered this mozzarella Chicken sandwich. It took like 30 minutes to make, and when it came, it was like boiling, and it burnt the roof of my mouth.. Later when I was driving, I peeled the skin off of the top of my mouth where the Chicken had burnt it, and it hurt for like 12 days.
That was the last trip I took, and it still hurts.
Fast Service!
I was young once and needed the money so I went down on this fellow who must've been about 50 (he may have been younger but when you're 14 it seems that everyone's older than they really are). Anyhow, he was a friend of my next door neighbor and told me that it wasn't like sex and more like a massage. After he roughly came in my throat I regretted it and remember that I cried a bit until he threatened to tell my mother what I had done.
Later that week I got a bad fever which turned out to be herpes related. Anyhow, I can't even remeber what I did with the $20 or so dollars I got. Guess the whole gist of this is be careful about doing things for money; I've had 2 girlfriends dump me because of the "cold sores".
Well, when palestinians choose to attack israel the israeli army blows shit up and executes people in retaliation. :(
Imagine if the rest of the world responding like that for this attack.
