One of the authors at where I work drives one of those old MG's. It is kept in probably the worst condition of any car I see on the roads, he can park it anywhere, with the top down, and not worry about it being stolen or messed with.
Soon shops will have drive throughs for your ENV and your office building will have special doors and hallways andeven big elevators to allow you to drive right to your cubicle in the office!
On 28 October 2007, the P50 was featured in a segment of the BBC motoring programme Top Gear on BBC Two, during which the presenter, Jeremy Clarkson, entered the car and drove through central London to work. Clarkson, who is 6 ft 5 in (196 cm) tall, demonstrated that it was possible, although difficult, for tall people to get into the P50. Upon arriving at the BBC, he drove past the car parks, between bollards, to the front of the building, after which he pulled the P50 behind him to his office. He then drove the P50 through the corridors of the office building, which included the background of BBC News 24 while it was on air and used a standard passenger lift (elevator) to get to a meeting, which he attended inside the P50. At the end of the meeting Clarkson drove out of the building and stated that, if the car had a reverse gear, it would be the "ultimate in personal mobility"
At $30,000 you could just spend twice as much and get a Tesla Model S and still have some spending money left over.
Um, do you assume that a person who would buy the Sparrow EV would be happy to spend twice as much on a totally different type of EV? And then do you think that someone who would buy the Tesla Model S would think, "damn for half as much I can get that sweet jellybean."?
The only relationship those two products have are they are electric, and they have wheels. They are not in the same price range, nor do they cater to the same customers. Tesla will not be poaching potential Sparrow owners.
I find it surprising how many mod points are being used to down mod those of us who are complaining about this shit, yet so few mod points up modding comments.
Yea, but launching them into space is fucking expensive, it is better to convince them of the hollow earth theory and then toss them all into volcanoes.
Wouldn't it be worse if the computer could not find each crewman?
The computer has control over probably every part of the ship so the computer needs to know where each person is for security issues as well as environmental concerns.
Remember, the Enterprise wasn't a cruise ship, it was a military vessel.
Yes, let's kill off the physically weak and vulnerable, and let the physically fit survive. The resulting loss in overall IQ surely won't have detrimental effects on society
If it was a question between being physically fit and being intelligent you might have a point, but that is hugely incorrect. In fact I would say that those who are the most intelligent tend to be very healthy individuals.
Yes, there are many people who are physically fit and stupid, and there are some very out of shape people who are smart, but those are not lifes two options, and very smart people do usually concern themselves about their health.
The most likely people to die of a flu such as this would be the poor and the old. IQ would not be a significant variable.
including WEAPONIZING even more dangerous bugs than the flu, and none of that has ever been released. Why does everyone think that this one will be any different, the system is proven to work and I'm not the least bit concerned
For the most part I agree with you, but it only has to not work once.
I was going off of what some people said at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3486268 It was stated that it is in the indictment, but I am unable to view it because the justice departments website is currently down probably due to anonymous.
Considering that they state the CEO made $42 million in 2010 I would not be surprised if it turns out that the $500 million amount might actually be what Megaupload made.

Unless 32-bit support is being dropped from operating systems can you explain why it is bad that there is not a 64-Bit version?

Why I wonder why that is?

These people don't need drugs to believe in aliens, they need drugs to not believe in aliens.
This is taking advantage of the mentally ill.
I was using Remote Viewing, and I saw that they found my wallet up there too. I'd like it returned. With the $5000 in cash I had in it.
Sure, just pay shipping and handling.
and how it proves that Google is actually regarded as a diety by every galactic culture but ours..."
That sounds more plausible than TFA.
Normally when there is just straight up pure bullshit posted I figure they did it for us to poop on.
This though, this is not even worthy of my poo.
You restrict what a lobbyist can do and like Newt they will drop the lobbyist title and carry on as a citizen.
Any more restrictions and you would end up restricting how a citizen can interact with their elected officials.
Not a problem with an easy answer.
Well if you roll a few heads, literally, things will change.
I think the absolutely best resolution of this would be for someone to kill Chris Dodd. Preferably in a public venue.
Criminals may think they can skirt the law, but they know they can't skirt other criminals.
Or at one time visited or lived in the region that Whataburger is in.
Doesn't narrow it down much, hell he could have even googled that information.
Much like the laws against tattooing in some states, they aren't enforced.
Bah, trolls just aren't what they used to be.

Isn't fair use under 30 seconds? So individually perhaps the videos may not violate copyright law, but I am unsure on the final product.
Hmm, wonder if those links will still be active tomorrow?
If they are, I will not be surprised at all when they get prosecuted.

The other funny thing is that Megaupload et. al. did shut down links to any media that infringed on copyright policies
They may have removed individual links to content, but they did not remove the content, nor all the links to the content.
This shows how little respect for us they have as well as how stupid they think we really are.
I am fairly sure one cannot underestimate the stupidity of the general public.
Think of the average person, now remember that half of everyone is stupider than that.
