Well the source code is usually fairly legible, but at 7 million lines the spaghetti factor is likely pretty high.

With a depleted battery pack it gets 168 mpg, which is pretty good.
Because it has a top speed of 99mph, it has to obey all the passenger car safety requirements. If they use some software to limit the speed to 25mph, they can sell it USA as a Lowspeed vehicle.
It would make more sense to me to remove one of the rear wheels and enter the US market under motorcycle regulations.
My racing slicks hydroplane at 120MPH (a fair bit more speed than I'd be comfortable with on a bicycle), so you can't be talking about wet traction.
Don't worry their is still time for them to find your profile on Ashley Maddison.
then they cut their own throat buy losig funding. Image if weed bacame legal, the DEA would lose 10'0's of millions in funding and someone's bonuses would disapear.
I doubt that would happen, fighting cocain, meth and heroin would easily suck up an extra quarter billion.
If the pilots were wearing night-vision goggles the combination of the goggles having peak sensitivity in the red or near IR and the automatic gain circuits, green or blue lasers would be reduced to minor annoyance rahter than a hazzard.
Considering how much of the geek community resides near SFO (and flies SFO), it's perfectly justified. I can't think of anywhere with a greater concentration of slashdotters.
Boston, Austin, Ann Arbor, Seattle all would surprise you.
Well if it was refuted by the whackaloons at skepticalScience, then it's obviously true.
I suppose it's all on how you define look at. When a machine sucks up a meassage, scans it for keywords, especially in Arabic or Farsi, then records the headers without human intervention, has it been looked at?
Maybe he'll actually be able to raise the standards of ethics and customer relations at Zynga. After all, starting so much closer to their level than the average executive will make it easier for the business culture there to relate to him.
I'd settle for just finding that lost pony's home.

How do you know they are tiny? Giant Scale RC Aircraft have wingspans of 84 inches (2.1 m) or larger. I've seen some planes that were physicaly large enough tp carry a person, like a Monster Scale: 87% Pitts Python weighing over 300 lbs (136kg) and powered by a 650cc engine. It's not unusual for giant Scale models of bombers to have operational bombays and drop model bombs durring flights.
With the history of Germany, it's easy to imagine some bad-actors getting their hands on a case of hand grenades, or digging up some UXO (UneXploded Ordinace) out on a military impact area, or even our good ol' friends RPG7, I'm sure a few of those could be dug up in what used to be East Germany.
They will not be using the raw oil, but converting it to biodiesel through a process known as transesterification. Biodiesel burns much cleaner than Petrodiesel.
The hardest part of climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd at the bottom.
