...for underpants: make a self driving bumper car, put in nice looking guy just with underpants on, send him out to the streets of amsterdam.

Cool.  I want one.

(The self-powered bumper car, not the underwear.)

In America they confiscate flags, in Germany they take tanks and anti-aircraft guns.

ah, finally a photo of the tank itself. So far I just saw pics of the Leo II rescue Tank they wanted to use to get it out of the cellar ;-)

Too bad the tank's weapon systems didn't work. He could have defended his property when the government came to confiscate it.

So, you usually have vandalism in trains, buses with scratching, tagging, hole digging in seats, etc.

Repair is expensive, the company calculated several kE / bus / year

a funny coincidence was found by a bus operator. They added a free wlan offering on several of the buses operating longer overland school ways.

The result was that the damages nearly stopped.

When they noticed that, they put it in more and more of their buses to get similar results - successfull.

Comparing the repair effort of the damages  to the operational costs of the WLAN seems to be an easy calculation - it pays off.

Also the bus drivers seem to have improved job conditions...

Heh... the vandalism likely happened out of boredom. With the Wifi available, the boredom went away (as well as the vandalism). Interesting!

We should install Wi-Fi in Congress, then.

Paid for by the taxpayers?  I think not!  I am sure they already have wifi so they don't have to pay attention to the proceedings.

My idea, for all members of government, from the local level, the regional, the state and the federal government is to put members of congress outside back in the public square where they belong.  Congress should be held publicly, and in session for eighteen hours a day. Instead of those fine and expensive leather chairs they are in, they should be placed in this comfortable furniture:

 

Now I am a kind, caring and compassionate person, I don't want their knees on the cold ground.  A 2x4 on its side should be placed under their knees for comfort during the sessions.  

The public will be allowed to interact with the members of congress at any time, a government for the people by the people.

I'd be in favor of reforming our voting system so we don't have this first-to-post crap.

Since we don't have an "irony" room I'll post this here.

The organizers of a "March Against Fear" planned in Brussels today was cancelled because of fear.

What a world, what a world...

It's almost as ironic as the feminist picnic which fell apart because no one made any sandwiches.

You need to talk to someone who can create rooms and have them create an irony room.

I am from the state that came up with 3M - Texas mining and manufacturing.  Good to see that M. C. has a gig.  Good stuff.
