Nah! 2 minute ride, 3 day charging; we all know what it'll be like!

Actually it's about a 30 minute ride and two hour charging. WooHoo!

Indeed. The blades of a model helicopter already can kill and this has unfortunately also happened a few times.

The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Yeah, the placement of the blades does seem a bit dangerous.

We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

You want to get into a device which you haven't seen actually work yet, made by an unregulated company with no history in flying more than a few grams, in a country known for manufacturing cheap knockoffs that catch fire...and then go up in the air in it? Good luck.

When you next drive to work, count the number of disabled cars on the roadside. Now imagine each of these cars dropping 500 meters onto a random bit of city between your house and your work. If you're feeling extremely charitable, imagine each 1500kg vehicle gently parachuting onto your house roof or your kid's playground or the high-voltage transmission cables that go to your city.

Not only that, but think about the carnage when a hacker successfully takes control of one of these things and heads for a crowded sidewalk...

No thanks, think I'll stick to 4 wheels on the ground...

You staying on the ground only makes you a target. Once our skies fill up with drones, we'll all need titanium umbrellas and fireproof raincoats.

As Christopher Robin says, "Tut Tut. It looks like drone."

I still don't get why to be so excited about a flying vehicle with rotors, able to transport people. They already exist, they're called helicopters.
This one just happens to have four rotors instead of two, placed differently.

Finally, someone invented the perfect vehicle for clearing brush, blowing leaves, and vehicular homicide.

I can see the FAA and FTSB totally giving this a green light.

Got a call today...

Apparently I had requested today that my car lease company pick up my car at January 1st, 2016.
They called to inform me they couldn't pick it up in the past.
I was pretty sure I had picked tomorrow on their website.
Why would it even let me pick a date in the past...?
Ah well, I built websites, I know how it goes Laugh | :laugh:

I also got my new car today.
A brand new Peugeot 208!
That's a full 100 points better than my current Peugeot 108 they'll pick up ~~January 1st~~ ~~tomorrow~~ Monday! Big Grin | :-D

Cruise Control, Climate Control, Navigation, Parking sensors, some more goodies...
Oh, and it's a little bit bigger as well Big Grin | :-D

Eeew.

Just kidding, as long as you're happy with it.
I'm not a fan of french cars in general, heard to ~~match~~ much from friends an colleagues how much theirs broke down.

Edit: Corrected stupid typo.

I can drive 10.000 km for private use and as much as I need for business use.
Last year I didn't make 10.000 km with the two combined...
So I'm going for the best car (semi-)cheap money can buy and Peugeot was the winner Smile | :)

Other than that I agree though, in a few years I'll be posting about my new Mercedes/Jaguar/Maserati... Big Grin | :-D

How do they know which is which? Do they track your movements?

In this cas (in germany) you would need to have vehicle log. Pretty nasty if you ask me.

Rules for the FOSW ![^]

if(this.signature != "")
{
    MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
    MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");

Congrats on your new car.

Use your car once a week, and on the other four days, use ...

... your cycle. Isn't this the most popular mode of transport in Holland?

I actually do that when the weather allows it (I live 5 to 6 km from work)!
Well, some say bad weather doesn't exist, only bad clothes Laugh | :laugh:

It's been raining and storming for weeks now...
I don't trust the good days, so I end up taking the car 99% of the time.
Overall in the past year I think I've taken the bike more often than the car though (and I used to work 13 km from home, the company moved) Smile | :)
