Only replying to myself rhetorically, but who on Earth would want their children to ride bicycles if safety was such a grave concern? Is this the society we want to develop?

...from Witnesses, (page 3 of the Police PDF Report):
Andrew McCown was the driver of a vehicle that was traveling eastbound on Mulholland Highway approximately 60 feet behind Wood's patrol vehicle when the collision occurred. He indicated he did not see Olin until he "flew into the air" after being struck by the patrol vehicle. He did not see the patrol vehicle swerve or the brake lights activate until after a collision occurred. McCown is an emergency medical technician and stopped to render aid to Olin. Olin had no pulse and had a severe injury to his head.
Ashely McCown was the passenger in that vehicle. She stated that she also noticed Olin in the bicycle lane prior to the collision.
I like bicycles so much I don't have a driver's license. But who on Earth would risk their life riding a bike, (for whatever sensible reason), when professional idiots kill bicyclists riding peacefully and safely?
From a user POV, using a VISA card outside of the USA is far more secure then using a VISA card within the USA, in 2014; or at least within the EU. You're correct in that the ownership of The VISA Corporation is irrelevant.
Nokia did not sell the name 'Nokia' to Microsoft, and from January 1, 2016, is free from Microsoft's shackles to sell mobile phones again. Microsoft can't sell "Nokia Lumias", only Microsoft Lumias.
The option remains open to, for example, purchase Jolla and in doing so, regain much of the former Nokia team and (and their funky Linux from Finland, where it all started...) and use the modern version that's available to them of the OS that once was Harmatten/Meego, that drives the awesome N9/N950.
In fact some of the funding to start Jolla came from severance packages to the team that was laid of by Elop, having delivered the N9, in spite of Elop's interference and obstacles on the way to enriching himself and his masters.
The Air Force is believed to have only two X-37B space planes. These space planes have flown at otal of three missions, which are known as OTV-1, OTV-2 and OTV-3. (“OTV” is short for Orbital Test Vehicle.) The first mission blasted off in April 2010, and the craft circled Earth for 225 days. The second X-37B vehicle launched in March 2011, performing the OTV-2 mission. This spaceflight lasted 469 days, ultimately landing at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California in June 2012. That was the same landing site OTV-1 used after completing its mission.
The current OTV-3 mission is reusing the first X-37B space plane from the OTV-1 flight, showcasing the reusability aspect of the program.
Nothing, I say nothing can beat Reel to Reel. They don't call it reel for nothing.

What Pico, are you mad? You have failed to provide even the slightest mention whatsoever to Nano; dammit all to Hell!
I am a man, and I completely agree with your female friend. Wikipedia doesn't seem worth much investment of my own time and energy, especially given my experience contributing to technical topics like round-robin DNS . Hell, I've got the Slashdots for that! (Plus the other stuff, all of which is usually taking place, when I can turn my attention to the Slashdots; where my karma is what it is).
Happiness is twin floppies.
