    Scratch "task;" "plan" conveys my meaning far more effectively.

    That's all well and good but why limit yourself with local, client-side performance of one instruction per turn of the fucking galactic wheel? The Pi is a both a badass movement and an impressive piece of hardware but your task sounds... gratuitous. Get some used Core2 machines for the same dollar value, lose on your power bill and [greatly] save on time and frustration (I'm guessing).

    USB 2.0 shouldn't (by my calculations) pose a bottleneck to Fast Ethernet but gigabit is likely another story.

    Indeed. If those lights could be turned off, they didn't need to be on in the first place.

    Shut your stupid ignorant mouth; Eastern Europeans are some of the hardest-working craftsmen on the planet. Should they be running dilapidated trucks? Obviously not. Should you kill yourself? The answer's really quite obvious.

    In the early days, the drivers didn't even have insurance for commercial driving.

    Shooting down shills is too easy: In the early days, Uber contracted with fully-insured and regulated livery/limo companies.

    Don't let the door hit your dumb, lying ass on the way out.

    When Uber started as a 'ride sharing app', ostensibly helping people coordinate carpooling where they were going to be going anyway, it was fine.

    You're not all that familiar with the early history of Uber, are you.

    Uber lost $4.5 bn last year

    That's misleading as hell. Uber's is profitable with shitloads of cash flow; they chose to spend that money, which they did. Are their investors stupid? Perhaps but that's another debate.

    I know just enough to know that one should use the right caliber for the right job and that the tactical advantage of having a gun is lost as soon as someone is aware that you do in fact have a gun.

    Right, because the only way to utilize a gun is as a deterrent; it's not as if they shoot real bullets or anything.

    Got any other meaningless ramblings you'd care to discharge?
