  2. Re:Balance? on The World's Cheapest Car Set To Launch · · Score: 2, Informative


    Well, it hasn't worked in Delhi, where I lived for three years, or in Bangalore, where I've just moved. All it means is that instead of a bunch of people who can't ride bikes causing accidents, it'll now be a bunch of people who can't drive causing bigger and better accidents.

    The only thing that might drop the accident rate is the near-gridlock in Bangalore will extend to total gridlock, preventing any motorized movement at all.

  9. the real 118th element on Ununoctium Discovery a Mistake · · Score: 5
