Segway, GM Partner On Two-Wheeled Electric Car

Slartibartfast was one of many readers sending in news of GM's partnership with Segway to develop a two-seater urban electric vehicle. It's called the Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility, or "PUMA." This is just a prototype, so don't get your credit card out yet. Its total cost of ownership could be about 1/4 that of a traditional car, GM says. The prototype runs for 35 miles, at a top speed of 35 mph, on lithium-ion batteries. It features the now-familiar Segway balancing technology, though fore-and-aft training wheels are visible on the prototype. Some commentators have likened it to a high-tech rickshaw, others to a golf cart. Engadget describes how the ride feels.

Wikipedia admins are fucking bastards

[Anonymous Coward]

Nawlinwiki, Bongwarrrior, J.delanoy, Raul654 and all the other 1600 admins are fucking losers. Admit that you all suffer from some form of OCD or autism and that you should all have your penises stung with over 9000 wasps. I hope your balls get stuck in a cheese grater.
