The thing about this tracking however, is that it's opt-in. If you don't like them knowing where you'll be taking their bike, don't rent one and get on the bus instead.
They're replacing bus tickets with chip cards. So you'll have to walk.
A bicycle would greatly extend my range by taking most of the strain off my feet. I'm curious to know what part of your body you intend to use to push the pedals...
they should just have capacitors (or whatever) on/in the bikes that store up energy whenever brakes are used, then when the bike is returned, all the bikes all stored energy can be released back onto the grid, perhaps which could then be transfered as credit or whatever and give a discount for renting the bike.
heck, maybe if u ride enough you could make money by way of power generation
If we're making up dream tech, then they SHOULD have used flying bikes that cure cancer. That's way better.
The simpler explanation is that what you wrote is false (an probably a lie on your part), but at least you demonstrated that your heart is in the right place by smearing the administration / military. Well done. Listen, fucktard, did I say EVERYONE they captured was never released?
Then why do you present me with an example of releases and act as though you've caught me in a lie?
The simplest explanation is that you're simple, in the head, as in stupid, as in not smart enough to be listened to. So STFU and DIAF.
And Stahl didnt simply say "he would be punishing you for not saying what he wanted you to say"?
mind boggling on all sides really.
I'm sincerely beginning to wonder if i'm completely losing my mind and the paradoxical self-righteous amoralism in the world is simply the misfirings colouring perceptions. Yeah, that was very surreal.
I find that it eases tyhe pressure in my brain if I just remember that they are simply lying. Then I go "oh, right, when you lie you can say anything, that's what he's doing". Of course, that mostly replaces the mindfuck with a desire for blood, but at least I can seek catharsis in the Circus, whilst eating my bread.
Interesting. Probably a result of public education, but I've not heard any of that. Have a cite? For all of that? Nope, I didn't get that recently off the net... maybe if you'd ask for a particular, but google those facts for yourself.
Heck, they mentioned the declaration of war in that aweful Pearl Harbor movie, but that's no reason to watch it.
a republican position? are you sure you mean that the way it reads?;-) a little dry humor I meant that in a heterosexual way, not the usual republican way;-)
The worst part is that once they realize the guy they are holding isn't an eviiiiiil terrorist, they don't release them, because they would speak of the treatment they recieved, so they keep 'em, forever, without charges. Then please explain the hundreds that have been released.
the oldies that remember Pearl Harbor The US had been providing aid to England, who was officially at war with Japan. Japan sent a letter to the government of the united states, declaring war. Japan sent a giant fleet of war planes towards a military base, on foreign soil, in full view of the worlds' most advanced radar system in the world.
The declaration of war was ignored, the radar operators were told to shut up and turn off their equipement, and the attack was said to be a cowardly surprise attack on the united states, rather than the business-as-usual military action against a military target not on US soil.
I can't wait for the generations that bought into the propaganda of the "cowardly attack on the US" to die off. The truth shall set the rest of us free.
he could have continued running for a position he had no real hope to win Like, say, sucessfully getting reelected to his republican position in Texas, maybe?
Kucinich, and Paul. They shouldn't be in the same sentence, I know Shouldn't be in the same sentence? They're the only two members of the US government that seem honest, they're each others' equivalent across the aisle.
The ideal two-party presidential campaign would be Paul vs Kucinich.
A 5-4 decision means that the somewhat-sane members of the court outnumbered the completely-crazy members of the court by One Single Vote. We've got ourselves a Supreme Court that's divided on the meaning of some of the most fundamental aspects American law. This doesn't bode well for the next 30 years.
-Sean SCALIA: No. To the contrary. You think â" Has anybody ever referred to torture as punishment? I donâ(TM)t think so.
STAHL: Well I think if youâ(TM)re in custody, and you have a policeman whoâ(TM)s taken you into custodyâ"
SCALIA: And you say heâ(TM)s punishing you? Whatâ(TM)s he punishing you for? ⦠When heâ(TM)s hurting you in order to get information from you, you wouldnâ(TM)t say heâ(TM)s punishing you. What is he punishing you for?
True, but there is a big difference from catching a German Speaking Nazi and holding him until the war is over, and catching someone who might or might not be a terrorist and you having to figure out if they are friend or foe. The worst part is that once they realize the guy they are holding isn't an eviiiiiil terrorist, they don't release them, because they would speak of the treatment they recieved, so they keep 'em, forever, without charges.
Some of these people were kidnapped by warlords, and handed over for a large sum of money.
Basically, the US is paying criminals to kidnap innocents, and then they imprison and torture these poor people, without a chance to be tried or heard or to have contact with the outside world. Their families might not even know what happened to them. They just disapeared.
The US has become the monster in the night that people fear.
you fucking idiot. And you're telling me to grow a brain? Hey, retard, you think the difference between a person in your face and a perason on the net needs explaining? That says a lot about the level of intelligence at which you function (quite low).
Here's another difference you might have to have explained to you, IRL, you wouldn't have the guts to talk to me that way, loser. And that's the thing about trolls: cowards, attacking others from the safety of their keyboard, with their weak little arsenal of canned verbal abuse.
You're affraid of losing the one small way you have to make you feel strong, the ability to type obsenities to people until they leave the places you infect.
The worse part? The feds kept saying, in his face, "We've found child porn on your computer. How do you explain it." If you can get a confession, your job is done.
Hmm. If I lived in the States I'd think about going "thin" client. Have all data on a remote server Lucky for them, they're allowed to secretly intercept all your communications, ya know, to fight terrorism.
Capitalism? That's your explanation of why our elected officials are so damned stupid?! Nothing to do with with a politician's greed Capitalism is codified greed
This doesn't prove or disprove Evolution (...) The presence of Citrate aided at some level in the tiny changes to each successive generation until those changes resulted in the ability to digest citrate. That's the DEFINITION OF EVOLUTION, you dolt.
For fuck's sake people, grow up. Can't we discuss a cool scientific discovery without dragging religion-bashing into it? Sure: As soon as those fuckers stop trying to wedge their religion into our scientific discussions.
creationism and mutation are not mutually exclusive anyway. In fact, I think that a mutation of the "superfluous chromosome" kind makes creationist beliefs much more likely.
It's the first time evolution has been caught in the act of making such a rare and complex new trait
Didn't the nylon eating bacteria already demonstrate that a complex trait can arise in short order? Actually I think it was industrial waste products from the nylon manufacturing process but still the same. It happened in the wild, this happened in a lab. With backed-up generations in the fridge, and paperwork! Glorious paperwork!

I'm so sick of my neighbor saying "evolution is just a theory" with a scornful attitude It will ALWAYS be a theory.
Just like the theory of electricity. No matter how many high-voltage cables we lay, the theory remains a theory.
