Random stupidity - wireless cyclo computers and wireless laptops...
HA! I just did 8.5km without leaving my computer.
Apparently, a wireless cyclo-computer thinks the signals from a Wi-Fi card are a wheel spinning at "80km/hr". LOL! Random stupidity. |

I wonder if I can get a higher-data rate Wi-Fi card and go even faster. If so, they'd better watch out for me at the next time trial! ;-) Random stupidity.

In a few years, all cars will be equipped with transmitters sending out their locations and speeds. If you drive one too fast or run a stop sign, this will generate an automatic ticket, sent to you at your E-Mail address, which you will be required to register under your full and correct name. They'll have your debit card number as well, and you'll be instantly docked for the fine. Think how complicated life will be, when electronic gadgets cause this system to frame people for violations they never committed. It'll be enough to drive people to riding bikes instead.
