Going up hills past blokes with coke-bottle legs: The Smart E-bike

Mr Common Sense
Mushroom

Ha ahahahahhaah

£1800 for an ebike that's curiously overweight. Like someone said earlier a basic scooter cost £500. That's how much it would cost for a half decent ebike conversion kit. Of course regular pushbikes are often uncomfortable and expensive toys designed for "enthusiasts" so it's not much of a surprise to see the price of this smart bike.

On the point of motorcycles our laws are an even greater farce compounded by the recent 3rd licensing directive. No wonder people are turning to this common law right of travel business.

Love XKCD? Love science? You'll love a book about science from Randall Munroe

Oh I can still comment here.

I don't see why people got upset at my comment it. XKCD is usually good but the odd strip opens itself to criticism and other people thought so to as this image demonstrates.

Re: electric bikes are established technology

Unfortunately their bikes costs about £1500 upwards which is into scooter or motorbike territory both being vehicles with more materials and complex parts than ebikes.

Presumably you'll be paying for this new expedition and an internet connection out there?

Wii got it WRONG: How do you solve a problem like Nintendo?

Mr Common Sense
Megaphone

Blame the other developers

The Wii remote worked well enough and Wii sports proved it.

The slightly flawed Wii balance board and Wii Fit showed it could be used for fitness as well as fun gameplay.

The Wii Plus add on showed us the remote working as it should have been at the start and how it worked well in games shown in Wii Sports Resort.

They were hardly gimmicks.

Vile Twitter trolls thrown in the cooler for rape abuse tweet spree

Mr Common Sense

Oh great the word troll misused again to label mongs making threats.

If anyone is the troll then it's Caroline Criado-Perez for stirring it up then getting a load of free publicity out of it.

Why did the CPS decide do something about this opposed to anyone who's anyone getting similar abuse??

Mr Common Sense
Stop

Re: Some aspects of the case are all too familiar...

We might as well bear in mind men are more likely to be treated harshly by the courts.

Anger grows over the death of Aaron Swartz

"Try breaking into a UK university, hacking into their network with a concealed computer and then downloading stuff to which they subscribe and see what happens when you're caught."

That would be the sort of UK universities that get whopping loads of taxpayers money, where in Scotland all tuition fees are paid for by the public?

Dogs would say: size is important, shape - not so much

Mr Common Sense

Re: I always wondered...

It would still bite them anyway shown by numerous videos on the internets which is why you want something pointy if you're a protester or jogger.

If people don't like the idea of said dog being perforated then they should complain about police misusing dogs as weapons.

Judge says PSN hack can't spark class action

Mr Common Sense

So lets recap

Sony attempted to damage peoples fat Playstation 3s with a harmful update.

Sues people trying to undo damage via third party firmware.

Sloppy security compromises lots of players information.

Sony somehow wriggles out of being held responsible by some corpwhore judges.

He's not exactly goody two-shoes.

Neither were all the companies on the receiving end something the corpwhores on here tend to forget.

Re: Special relationship...

Scotland has the same as or worse extradition treaty with the yanks.

Whether this would change with independence is anyones guess.

So what's the deal if he runs off to another european country?

I assume the rest of them don't have the same extradition treaty and that he could legitimately move there.

Met to push rape warnings over Wi-Fi to Xmas partygoers

Mr Common Sense

Only the man is capable of being guilty of rape under current laws.

ps, unless your wife also has willy.

Mr Common Sense
Thumb Down

Biased much?

Since young men are vastly more likley to be the victim of a violent attack shouldn't the police be focusing more on that.

Why do you feel the need indeed?

Maybe because it's shorter than typing out bent fascist scumsuckers or knuckle dragging mongoloids.

These latest events show how stupid the general public are.

Personally I would have rounded up the yobs,given them baseball bats and set them loose in the MET and NOTW offices.

UK will obey Euro unisex-insurance rules from 2013

Mr Common Sense
Mushroom

I think people are missing the forest for the trees.

There's no point arguing about women or mens driving habits when they'll pull another statistic out their ass to cover the next round of price increases.

The whole issue of insurance needs to be looked at far more harshly considering the need for cars today.

At the moment it's like a license to print money based on skewed statistics and pandering laws.

Glasgow cammer not thrown in slammer

Mr Common Sense
WTF?

The title is required, and must contain letters and/or digits.

"In October of last year, then 22-year-old Lincoln Road, Harrow-based Nimley, who had been thrown in jail for six months for fraudulently filming Hollywood films at a Vue cinema, saw his sentence successfully quashed on appeal to a 12-month community order."

How is one meant to fraudulently film something?

Sony shills can suck it.

Whats the matter? Can baby not suckle on Sonys teat?

If anyone needs to grow up, it's you.

A lot of people who couldn't care less about Sony stopping PS3 owners using otherOS are now crying because they can't use the PS3 the way they want to, now isn't that funny.

Animal lovers stamp on goldfish racing

Mr Common Sense

People have hard ons for their pets.

I doubt it has anything to do with sentience than people becoming attached to certain species and over empathising with them.

Mr Common Sense

It doesn't mean its's the only way.

If enough people pooled their cash to win a lawsuit and set a precedent thus enabling others to go after them.
