Leave it to the USA not to be first in streeting high mileage motorcycles.
Mopeds (things that look like this bike) have been for sale in the US for decades. They have traditionally not sold well. Why build for a market that doesn't want them?
Oh, and for the US not being able to invent cool stuf like this? Go here. Made in Santa Cruz.
You can't really drive it with the suspension on low (or high for that matter) unless you're on a perfectly smooth road,
Very true. But it had its uses. I forded a stream (on High), bypassing a Jeep that some damfool had gotten stuck. Or changing a tire. Jack it up to high, put the stand (or a large rock) under it, suck it down to low. Poof...tire off the ground.
And the Chebbie low-riders aren't any more driveable on low...no susp travel there either. Bounce bounce bounce.
Plain text vs. any web graphics. Who needs all that fancy graphics crap? If you can't get your message across with plain ASCII, then you are incompetent, lazy, and on the verge of being a mindless PowerPoint Ranger.
Just curious, because in the US we have similar laws. If I move I must change the address on my license within only a month I think -- needless to say I still have my parents address on my license but have not lived there for over 5 years. I haven't changed it mostly because its a pain in the ass to change and super easy to just re-register using the same information.
And if the police or DMV ever have to mail you something, they will mail it to the address on file. That you don't live there anymore and didn't receive it is not their fault.
I really, really wish people wouldn't get this wrong. Or get this purposely wrong. Whichever. It's a nice car. Let's not distort the facts.
The standard 120V charge time is 30+ hours. Anything faster is $1000+ for the charging module, and pretty much requires 30A circuit and a garage (sorry apartment dwellers).
Funding ? Well, in the Netherlands our government just decided to implement variable road taxes. All cars will get a GPS box that registers where you drive, and at what time, and it will automatically send that data to the central government servers.
The amount of money involved in this taxation plan alone would make it financially feasible to put a complete GPS system up there.
Excellent. Bring in a system to monitor every movement, and make the citizens being monitored pay for it.
Germany need to have a say in how DNS is run, as does the United States, England, France, Russia, China, and all the other nations of the world. Does Germany want x blocked or removed? Too damn bad, Swaziland vetoed them. Does the U.S. want that pesky torrent tracker site blown away? Too damn bad, Antigua says it stays. Everybody wins.
One country/vote can overturn everyone else? Everyone loses. Holland/Germany/USA wants to have sites for boobies. Saudi Arabia vetoes it. Poof...no more boobies.
Except, a ridiculous number of deaths and other shady activities have resulted from similar criticism under Putin
Could have said:
"Except, a ridiculous number of deaths and other shady activities have resulted from similar criticism under Putin and every other Russian leader."
What if they're a soldier or a LEO who took out someone in self defense? For that matter--I'm from the states. I believe (and my state actually constitution grants the right) that I've pretty much got an absolute human right to defend myself. Somebody breaks into my house...(or even tries to use violence to get me to move in public, although I would choose to move on then)--I've got an unconditional right to stand my ground and utilize deadly forc
This was not self defense, home defense, nor an accident. Neither were they cops or soldiers.
Allow me to edit my prev statement: Because they actually killed someone in cold blood, apparently because he was gay.
Pull out all the self defense strawmen you want. But you're badly wrong.
Shouldn't you respect a countries laws weather you agree with them or not,
So if a law against something exists, anywhere on the planet, everyone should follow it? I'm pretty sure you don't want the world to adhere to Saudi Arabian, Singaporean, or North Korean laws. And I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want to adhere to Western laws.

The Discovery Channel used to be educational... now it's "how can we use science to blow shit up?"
Indeed. Its sister channel, TLC, has gone from The Learning Channel to The Ladies Channel.

"In the marines, they teach us not to piss on our hands."
And the Air Force guy says "They didn't need to teach us that. We learned that around age 3"
Because of this:
a sheet of electrodes laid directly on the surface of the brain after a surgical incision into the skull
You go first.
I prefer just to turn on the music and let whomever is broadcasting worry about the mix.
In what way is this not free, OTA, FM radio? The kind we've had in cars for decades.

OK, but come on, have you ever heard of or seen a low-rider with hydraulics that wasn't a Chevy?
Citroen CX. Factory hydraulics. I had a '76.

Given enough time and physical access, anything is breakable. But the security guard who let you in might have an issue with your sledge hammer.
They asked Fark for help.
TeamFark got 8/10.
From the crappy pic at AviationLeak, it looks like it may be an outgrowth of the X-45 development bird.
I was referring to the 24+ hour flight.
Maybe not 24 hr, but crews did a few 18 hour round trips from Barksdale-Iraq-Barksdale.
and is capable of mid-air refueling. (this is a living pilot no-no
Huh? We've been doing mid-air refuel for decades.
Wait... Can anyone describe in detail how the alternative to the "Anything faster" method even works for apartment dwellers?
It doesn't. You are out of luck.
Welcome to one of the 'not talked about' little secrets of the collective electric car orgasm.
It's 8-12 hours for 120V service.
I really, really wish people wouldn't get this wrong. Or get this purposely wrong. Whichever.

It is our internet after all. We built it.
Al? Is that you?
Are you sure you want to go there? He is a /.er afterall.
I need a correlation between "moose knuckle" and "camel toe"
Do you think you could deliver that in car-analogy form?
1975 Camaro.
We love you too, CZ. Have you paid off those student loans yet?
