  1. Re:No surprises here on Surprising Result of NYC Bike Lanes: Faster Traffic for Cars · · Score: 1

    Our problem isn't with cyclists on the road, it's with how cyclists conduct themselves on the road. The real problem is that cyclists seem to think traffic laws don't apply to them and in doing so put everyone else - including themselves - at risk. You should be fined, have your bike confiscated, and be barred from riding if you're *ever* caught disobeying road rules. Especially a failure to signal, which is something cyclists constantly do. It's too bad you're too dense to understand this.

    When you start observing traffic laws like every other person in a car or on a motorcycle, you can talk to me. Until then, go fuck yourself. You're a scourge on the roads.

  3. Not unreasonable. on Kickstarter's Problem: You Have To Make the Game Before You Ask For Money · · Score: 1

    It's not unreasonable to see a prototype, or some work in the direction of the idea you're proposing. It's not unreasonable for people to expect some form of tangible proof that you can do what you claim you can do. This idea that it should be acceptable to place all of the risk on to the customer is ridiculous.

  4. Re:law enforcement scams on CBC Warns Canadians of "US Law Enforcement Money Extortion Program" · · Score: 1

    Canada isn't trying to tell you anything. It's just warning Canadians that US cops are corrupt as fuck, and how to reduce the chances something bad could happen to them when travelling in the US.

  6. Re:Bikes lanes are nice on Surprising Result of NYC Bike Lanes: Faster Traffic for Cars · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Except it's a factor for everyone else when one of those non-signaling dipshits decides he's faster than my 2000 lbs machine. Bikers slow down traffic because everyone is afraid to be anywhere near them. They're unpredictable, can change direction very quickly, and almost never signal intent. Fuck cyclists.

    "I would love that feature on my car, when taking a long drive. It would prevent driving exhaustion."

    If you're paying due attention to the road, no it wouldn't. What this does is provide you with a sense of security just false enough that you might *stop* paying attention at the wrong times.

    Seems to me that all this would do is stop the *open* development of these weapons. Even if everyone agrees not to make them, they will all still be making them.

  18. Re:Actually, it does ! on Would Scottish Independence Mean the End of UK's Nuclear Arsenal? · · Score: 1

    ..which is precisely why nobody has been nuked since Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Fear of this nuclear arsenal and the widespread carnage it would cause if X and Y started to throw them at each other is a very real deterrent. It's not at all pathetic to think that if everyone has a doomsday weapon, that everyone will be a lot more reluctant to push the button. Everyone loses such a war, and everyone knows it. The only way you don't lose is if the person you're targeting doesn't have them.

    The problem with these treaties is that everyone signs them, and nobody abides by them. If you happen to be the one country that does, you wind up fucked by all the others that talked out of the side of their mouth.

    The real problem is that there is no significant downside to violating UN sanctions. I mean, the US does it all the time.

  21. Re:Thirty minutes is ridiculous. Swap out the pack on How Does Tesla Build a Supercharger Charging Site? · · Score: 1

    I would gladly wait 30 minutes. My problem isn't with the charge time, it's with how ridiculously priced Tesla vehicles are in the first place.

    Although, I do wonder what happens when electric vehicles go mainstream, and the demand for a charging port gets to the point where the stations can't keep up with it and lines form. Right now it's not a big deal because most electric cars either can't replace a gas powered car due to range issues, or are so expensive they're out of the reach of anyone except the rich.

    Except nobody outside of tech circles knows who elon musk is. They all know what "Tesla Motors" is though.

    It's like saying James Maxwell was bigger than his math/physics/ideas. This is only true if you're student of it. For everyone else, the conveniences that came out of the ideas are the big thing, and most don't even know who he was.

    On the other hand, everyone and his dog knows who Steve Jobs is, because he was such a narcissist that he set everything up to make it seem like it was all his idea.
