I found learning about this very cool bike system that works for another country more interesting than some losers hacking it.... all to circumvent a 6 cent fee.
I wish this would work in Los Angeles. It could really be useful. It wouldn't work though... too many "hackers" with wire cutters. (alot like the "hackers" above, but with less technical school clases).
The parent is probably going to be modded down as a troll or looked down on, but it really is a valid question... as most people will probably want to install windows so they can use the programs familiar to them.
-Develop fusion technology -invent entire engineering disciplines based on zero-gravity industry/construction/living technologies -Move a substantial representation of our gene- and meme- pools up out of Earth's gravity well -Live for a few centuries in the Kupier Belt and Oort Clouds -Spread to other solar systems like a fungus, possibly using Von Neuman Machines to soften up / improve target planetary systems -Exist! -??????? -Profit!
Regardless of hwo this might play out, and its implications, I can't see this being retroactive to software that already exists... that certainly would be pulling the rug out from underneath alot of companies feet.
I cant see MS not spending a grip to make this go their way either.
There might be extreme situations where you might have to have your kid drive to school, but anyone can find an exception to just about everything.
For the most part in most cities a bike is just fine, as there are schools near by. In my area of the San Fernando Valley in Southern California its perfectly fine for anyone to ride a bike. I cant think of any places within 50 miles you'd need help either, except some hilltop homes.
So yes, a parent that MUST have their kid drive is in a different situation. But they still need to enforce rules with driving... teens die ALOT in cars because they are not good drivers for the most part,w hich is to be expected.
I think such a non-critical thing like keeping your phone charged is an excellent way to keep a kid thinking about responsibilites.
This will train them to understand that something that doesnt seem important at all can carry serious consequences if not paid attention to. I'd much rather them screw up on the phone thing and lose the car for a few days than something that really is a critical thing... like using a condom.
Eh, its all debate, and I have no kids (but I didn teach swimming to kids, which has a certain critical thing to it, like staying on the steps so they dont drown). Yet I probably just cursed myself with these comments anyways to have a kid that ends up on Dr. Phil.:)
In my example, yes, guilty. This is a completely optional situation they will be entering in to. This is not the justice system. It's kids driving cars and being responsible for making sure the tracking is working to my satisfaction, nothing more.
If it was a hard task to do, (keeping a phone on) I might be more accomodating, but I manage to do it every day with no problem.
Of course if they had a GREAT reason why the phone wasnt on, like they brought it home in 500 pieces, then I could use my own judgement as a parent to make an exception.
If my kid cant remember to charge a phone, do you think that they should be driving?
The point is, the child will learn that when you gain a privelage, there is a set of resposibilities that go with it. If one of them is making sure the phone is functioning, then they better take care of it.
Why is it a bad idea if they turn off their phones

First of all, it might be a fate worse than death for any teen these days to not have their phone on, but as a parent, thats an easy hurdle to get over.
If the phone goes off, it is assumed that they were speeding. If they complain, so be it, they dont need to drive. It's not hard to put your foot down, it just seems hard for parents to discipline these days.
I swear i was driving in burbank california and this guy had a license plate that was "SPYWARE" and I was thinking thats like having a plate that says "SLAVE OWNER" or "ASSCLOWN".
There was a license plate frame with a website on it but I cant rem it..and didnt have my dig cam with me to take a pic. I actually even thought it would be applicable to some conversation on here, but had no idea it would be tonight.
Yeah, I'm not sure how it works with this, but it reminded me of the plate.:)
Ive been a professional graphic designer and digital photographer for about 12 years now. i have enough trouble working cross platform from PC to Mac (Mac is pretty much is the design standard, espcially with the movie studios).
I cant imagine how much extra work you have to do every day dealing with Linux.
This money might be better spent on terrestrial research right now.
Look a story down at the hydrogen development... this could change the world on a much bigger scale than anything...effecting us right here ont eh ground right away. 2 billion can do so much good right here.
Yeah, I sort of hate the idea of not looking toward the stars even for a moment, but look around here, things are pretty messed up, and I dont like the dependence on gas and oil. 2 billion could go towards alot of infrastructure for hydrogen cars.

yeah, I loosely compared them... still think they are sad, still thinkt he bikes system is cooler.
Wow, you hacked a 6 cent/hr. bike... thats like NORAD. LEETO!
And I did read the article... sorry bud, they just aren't that cool.

Murder?

How about justifiable homicide?
One can carry both their MP3 AND pron collection.
This one guy I know can finally leave the house. I'll tell him.
All we need to do is:
-Develop fusion technology
-invent entire engineering disciplines based on zero-gravity industry/construction/living technologies
-Move a substantial representation of our gene- and meme- pools up out of Earth's gravity well
-Live for a few centuries in the Kupier Belt and Oort Clouds
-Spread to other solar systems like a fungus, possibly using Von Neuman Machines to soften up / improve target planetary systems
-Exist!
-???????
-Profit!
I'd mod you up because thats pretty interesting, but alas, I started all of this :(

I love that i was first post, and some moron gave me 'redundant'.
LMAO!
its just got smashed!
Next thing you know it will install a screen saver that DOS's the competitors website!
If it really is you, and you found this, thats awesome.
and how that applies to graphic design, i have no idea.
yes, maybe for special effects, but no, in graphic design its macs everywhere. I dont just google it, I live it.

is when he says neither the US nor Europe have anything like it.
And I'm thinking to myself, its a MODEL you assclown, you don't have it either... otherwise I'd have a B-17 bomber.
Maybe thats why they called them modern heros instead of classic heros.
The entire point of this article is that some people are considering a new class of hero.

Thi is the level that many retailers buy at. You're looking at Walmart, Target, Circuit City, Best Buy, etc., numbers.
