The Japanese cultural phenomenon of "cute" is the same cultural phenomenon of "tough" that America has. We put blood and gore and screaming and machismo into everything, and they put bright colours and funny songs and talking animals in everything.
I find it a refreshing alternative. Frankly I find the "Grand Theft Auto" mindset dull and primitive.
Oh, that's rich. It must have been the Aztecs who came up with bushido, seppuku, and Sword of Doom. Hmm, perhaps I'll go do a "test cut" on some random peasant I find on the road. Or better yet, watch some lighthearted Japanese anime. Tentacle sex, anyone?
Meh. The people who comprise the target market are more likely to play soccer or do stuff with their families for fun. Of course, computers will probably change that given time. Look what they have done here (assuming you are in the U.S.)
See if the company was smart they'd leave "RFID" out of the documentation because all the tin foil hat nuts are going to freak about their mouse tracking brain patterns or something.
Why should I worry about it tracking my brain wave patterns if I'm wearing my tinfoil hat?
Sheesh, you probably don't even know what the word "conspiracy" means.
Those are all so "20th Century." Get with the times, man; multitasking is all the rage now in the corporate world. You've gotta do multiple tasks simultaneously in order to stay competitive, so we better make that "Roseanne Barr's forensic proctologist." Brave new world, indeed.
Your taxis may be efficient, but the drivers are hulking brutes who wear metal hockey masks and bellow threats from loudspeakers at pedestrians. Kinda scares off the tourists.
...Most noticably, the track (left-to-right spacing between wheels) can be adjusted. That's a huge capability when you have to pack these things into aircraft or ships.
That feature, much like a "kneeling" suspension on a tank, adds weight and complexity to the design that troops in combat (who do much of the vehicle's maintaince) won't want to deal with. My bet is that it will be found too troublesome and removed for the final design, after a protracted and lucrative "R&D" period.
How about packing your shit up and leaving so that when the counter-revolution comes we won't have to throw your pansy ass up against the wall with the rest of the lefties and shoot you?
To make yourself feel better about leaving you can pretend you're reaching out to Euro-lefties or setting up a revolutionary party headquarters in exile or something like that.
Ahh, here they come. I call your bluff, my faceless brown-shirted antagonist (now there's a redundancy.) I'd email you my name and address so that you could come visit, but like most of your ilk, you snipe from under cover of anonymity, or attack en masse and never linger to claim responsibility. You construct straw men like "Euro-lefties" for your rhetorical bayonet practice, never entertaining the thought that the object of your hatred isn't a socialist or even a liberal, that he has principled reasons for opposing war and tyranny, and that he loves his country and his people enough to tell them to pull their heads out of their asses when criminals are robbing them and leading them into the abyss. Quit following the herd, man. All of you ultranationalists are being used by "leaders" who despise you as much as the peons (their term) like myself who see through the ruse that war is; pickpockets always need a distraction. And as for "packing my shit up?" I'd rather die. What a pity it is you're so keen on seeing that happen.
Since it seems that Canada will be filling up with people soon maybe us Americans should look towards Russia as a place to regain our freedoms and avoid the tyranny of Dubya.
Fuck that "Running to Canada" shit. How about standing up to usurpers like Dubya in order to make life better for the people who live here? That means sticking your neck out for your principles, even if your countrymen hate you for it. They may not thank you for opposing them, but their children might.

Damn. I went to Slashdot, saw the article, saw that there was 88 comments, and given those odds held onto a thin hope that I could be the "Soviet Russia" dude. How many times will I be cheated of this glory?
Hmmm, now it's all coming together. Up until now, I couldn't understand what those two Italian guys who sold me the hot Gamecube were talking about when they said they "didn't like the direction the company was moving in."
"Unfortunately, several Microsoft engineers sustained fatal radiation injuries during a test of the device when they forgot to put on their lead-lined protective clothing."

Easy. They punish you with eye-watering blasts of wasabi-spam.

Oh man, I want one of those things, too. I mean, it ain't an SUV unless you need a set if steps to get to the driver's seat.
Make it so!

Try a little whipped cream next time. It takes a little getting used to, but a job's a job, man.

In Post-Soviet Russia, Elena hoodwinks YOU!
The other 10% love "Soviet Russia" jokes.
In Soviet America, the machines vote YOU!
Don't diss my post. I'm serious, kinda.
Or Kyoto ratifies YOU!
