China used to have more bikes than cars, now they are buying more and more cars, while we on the other hand are wanting to push ourselves the other way. ebb and flow, ebb and flow......
Use fake information to get a prepaid credit card and use fake info when signing up. Pay cash for the prepaid credit card.
When people who are illegal aliens with no proper documentation can get credit cards and drivers licenses, what is to stop someone from "renting" out a bunch of bikes and selling them elsewhere if they really wanted to?
And in this program should the poor sap who happens to riding it and has the bike break on them, they could be liable for a $1,000 bycyle replacement fee!!!!!
Read the Fine print, and the PDF on the Bcycle site, it spells it all out.
What is to stop someone from just renting a bike and taking it home as their own, thus causing the program to eventually collapse. How are they going to know that you took a bike, You could just say you were "renting one for a few days".
FYI: I drive a car to work, i don't mind more people on bikes as long as they stay on the bike paths and don't try to ride on the streets.
It would be interesting if life evolved before the moon was formed by that collision of the mars like planet and the early earth by hiding out there. It could have survived because it stayed in the nice warm chemical rich layers of the mantle.
For the express purpose of losing and mocking the dumb SOBs. All through the match I would warble and scream like a Taliban fighter and would yell out "Allah Fubar" or "Admiral Akbar", before getting sniped, as I was getting sniped I would scream, "I can see heaven and my 72 virgins, oh crap they are star trek nerds!!" before respawning.....
Anything after it was horrible and everything before was really crappy. When I use IE on slashdot the cpu usage goes through the roof, not so with Firefox or any other browser, why does IE suck up so much CPU for mostly text page slashdot. I find myself having to bounce IE multiple times each day when I have to use it. On my home PC i use firefox and haven't looked back.
The Ie versions, from 6 to 7 to 8 have all sucked because they were giant bloated hogs. IE 5.5 seemed to be somewhat fast and not AS bloated, it still have as many security holes as a block of swiss cheese, but at least you could run windows update from it without crashing your PC.
Did they compare the Fat guy in his 40's who doesn;t go out much to the skinny d-bag jock type that is always driving out to bars three or more times a week to pick up women?
The Study is flawed because it doesn't take to effect that the fat people don't go out driving as much as thin socially active people.
Why don't we outsource our War on Terror to India or China, we could pay them 1/4 for what we currently pay and they would be happy for the money. Save money and if we outsource to the Chinese we won't have to worry about the enemy not understanding we are serious.
Sarah Palin wouldn't kill off Stevens, She would kill off the NASA guy first because she thinks the world is 6,000 years old and the NASA guy would be able to disprove her backwards world view.
NASA guy still alive, ergo, Sarah Palin didn't kill off Stevens.
That is known as the "Wimpy Paradox". Though some people I know promise to pay me tomorrow for some food to eat today, of course I never learn because I never get paid back.
I feel the urge to eat whale meat. Mmmmmm sweet delicious whale meat, most forbidden of all the meats. Also I want to join a japanese "research" vessel in the far south pacific and fight dirty smelly hippies and run over their boats.
What PBS should have done is start making a show about what d-bags the MS Lawyers were concerning their recently filmed show. Bring cameras to ever lawyer session, hiddeen cameras or otherwise, demand the meetings take place on PBS property. Act all polite and whatnot and film the MS Lawyers being complete jerkwads. Then Broadcast it and watch the MS lawyers get fired and receive an apology from MS.
This is just the first step, the next step will be interfacing a person's brain into a device for processing data, ie. A cyber brain. The first once will be about the size of a iPhone, but will be external and wirelessly connected to the brain implants, eventually the size will shrink where it will make sense to mount the thing inside of the head.
If the moon kingdom had a damned militia this wouldn't have happened....
Instead they put all their funding for palaces built in the inhospitable airless vacuum that is the surface of the moon. Instead of building some sorta real defense force...

China is becomming more like we used to be, more cars, we are becomming like China used to be, more bikes.

All forms of transporation are equal but some are more equal than others.

Not to mention if some poor schmuck looses the bike or it gets stolen from them they will be fined $1,000 dollars!!!!!
That is enough money to buy at least 8 or 9 decent bikes at Wal-Mart.
So why is this such a good thing afterall?

I think I ended up siphoning off some of his PTSD, that game was scary as hell for me.

This would work better, of course mining Neutron stars for it would be very hard. But you could really shrink down those chips...

You are thinking of Japan. Germany has an army but they are too busy wearing leather and getting busy... with each other....

I am going to pack all of my electronic equipment into the newly built Faraday cage I built in my garage.

Some enterprising group of hackers need to get a bill in that gives themselves a few million or billion dollors and then they would be set for life.

That's what I would do.
Yet another reason Star Trek declined in the late 90's and Enterprise was too little, too late.
It is a shame, because had they catered more to fan sites and encouraged more fan sites it would survived better.
