  1. They are reporting on a kit that allows you to replace Limes control unit to effectively have your own scooter. This is about as lawful as selling kits to take over your neighbor's car.

  2. There are plenty of American cities that are dense enough to support electric scooters for last mile usage.

    Another person born on second base blames others when he can simply walk to third

  4. Hope you keep your cell phone in a soundproof case. It even has it's own network that you can't audit to transmit everything you say

    They settled a class action lawsuit over the whole thing a few years back.

  8. Re:Exclusivity on Edward Snowden Still Stuck At Airport, May Be Permitted Entry Into Russia Soon · · Score: 1

    which if you look at the fact that Snowden (and PFC Manning) really didn't have all that much with respect to credentials, it makes sense that a world class intelligence agency most likely already has many assets with higher access than an IT guy with a GED.

  9. Re:We still don't know much of the situation on Edward Snowden Still Stuck At Airport, May Be Permitted Entry Into Russia Soon · · Score: 1

    Like Manning before him, Snowden was a pretty low level guy (you know a GED), it's unlikely that the Chinese, Russian, Israeli, British, etc, governments don't already have assets at a higher level than either of these guys.

    Actually no gangs would not be bringing in guns from Mexico, the Mexican gangs are using guns smuggled in from the United States.

  11. Re:Yay on 27 Reported Killed In Connecticut Elementary School Shooting · · Score: 1

    Gun levels have been rising in Australia. NSW watered down the Port Arthur gun laws in 2004, coincides well with the bump in assaults on that graph.

  12. Re:Murder rates on 27 Reported Killed In Connecticut Elementary School Shooting · · Score: 1

    You should actually do a country comparison, not a country to continent, eastern europe (which generally has lax gun control laws) has a high murder rate, the rest of europe has a murder rate 1/3 of the US.

    Why don't you compare the US to the EU.

    It's funny Tunisia which has the lowest private gun ownership in the entire world just overthrew their government.

    Also if they had not suspended the other guys who happened to have gotten caught he may have had a better quality competition and thus would have lost.

  15. Re:And the cost on San Francisco Poaching Tech Talent From Silicon Valley · · Score: 1

    So actually you are paying more than $6 an hour to drive your 13 year old car (just in gas, if you do 50mph and your car gets 25 mpg and gas costs $4/gal thats 2 gallons/hour ergo $8/hour) and you assert that $8 an hour for zip car is expensive. You really ought to rethink that assertion.

  16. Re:I hate San Francisco!! Not ever going there. on San Francisco Poaching Tech Talent From Silicon Valley · · Score: 1

    Except you are lying or have a bad memory as an expired meter fine is currently $65 (actually $55 if you went to the Noe Valley Whole Foods). And you are an ass for parking that far off the curb. And Pay the fucking meter, they take credit cards and you can text to them.

  17. Re:And the cost on San Francisco Poaching Tech Talent From Silicon Valley · · Score: 1

    So what you are telling me is you spend $6 an hour just on gas to drive your car (30 mph, 20 mpg, $4/gal), and you think $8 an hour is expensive?

  18. Re:And the cost on San Francisco Poaching Tech Talent From Silicon Valley · · Score: 2

    You really think that is expensive? How much do you drive? How much do you pay a year on your car, include everything, gas, insurance, registration, parking tickets, maintenance. If you live in SF you realize that zip cars have parking, so you should include the hassle of finding parking. Lastly, you don't just have a car, you have the car you need for what you need it for. Do you need to go to the lumber yard, or buy a sofa, well then you have a truck or a van, do you want to pick up a pretty lady, well you can get a mini convertible. Unless you are driving more than 15k miles a year, it's really hard to beat $8 an hour of usage (including sitting in a parking lot) for owning a car. (and I do own a car)

  20. Re:Cause and Effect on Ask Slashdot: Teaching Chemistry To Home-Schooled Kids? · · Score: 1

    What FA are you speaking of? There isn't one here. Also in the summary, or the "Ask Slashdot" question, it points out that the child is currently, after being homeschooled, a below average reader. That nugget of information makes it sound like the homeschoolers are not competent teachers, which asks the question "Why are they homeschooling"?

    Why are people who are asking this question in a brusk manner being moderated "troll"?

    You can be certain that every major intelligence service has multiple operatives working for Google. The ones from the NSA may be doing so less covertly.
