  1. Re:That tire doesn't look safe though on Canadian Man Invented a Wheel That Can Make Cars Move Sideways (nationalpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Putting a tire on a pedestal is vastly different than actually having a working prototype. There is no way to drive that tire yet, they claim magnetic levitation, without actually showing how that will work.

    The Goodyear ball concept worked great on film in iRobot, but that doesn't make it a working model, or anywhere near to being a working model. What happens if your car stalls for instance? How do you drive a tire like that (in multiple different directions)? It isn't a working system, it isn't even a prototype, it is a wet dream of some designers.

  2. What it means is that Autopilot has had much less number of accidents than humans driving, therefore it is safer even with the occasional idiot watching Harry Potter when they just agreed not to do that to turn on the autopilot feature.

    Yeah, sure, keep up the fud.

    If you understand the technology behind fracking, you might understand how it is not possible for it to pollute the water table, but keep acting like you know everything about the subject.

    Sometimes I just have to respond to the crap flood from APK, he seems to think he is the best programmer/security person in the world, and it is important to remind him that no one agrees with him except himself acting like a third party.

    That response wasn't to you, though if you don't read at -1, you might never see any of his posts.

    We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.

    Btw, your sig is stupid. Did a wingnut feed you that nonsense?

    Considering the erosion of the Bill of Rights, what rights do you have left?

    Due process? Not when added to the No-Fly list
    Second Amendment? Slowly being removed by ever more regulation designed for a gun free society instead of the spirit of the amendment.
    Free Speech? Nope, go to your free speech zone where we can safely ignore you peasant!
    Freedom of religion? Slowly being removed, we can no longer pray in public, as someone might be offended or someone might feel bad that they don't believe in the same god.

    Please, feel free to add any rights you think might still be clinging to life, but I see more and more the government eroding the rights of the citizens.

    Science has time and again proven that fracking is perfectly safe, and the places with flammable water had the issue before the fracking due to the nat gas being in the rocks already.

    Being against fracking is anti intellectual.

    It is still light so depends on the height and angle of the sensors. The Tesla seems to have low slung sensors, as other accidents have shown, so it may mean that they need to add another set of sensors to the top of the windshield.

    You ignored the big one and got it wrong - REPRODUCTION.

    I can't help if you are talking about reproduction. Since no one is in your bedroom telling you and your wife they can't have sex, I can't imagine what you are trying to talk about.

    Now, if you are talking about abortion, which doesn't happen in a bedroom unless you are going the illegal route, that has to do with Murder being illegal, so yes, abortion should be illegal. You made the choice to have a kid when you had sex as that is one of the expected outcomes of the decision. Why should that kid be murdered because they are inconvenient to you?
