Might just get your window/etc vandalized. You'd have to set it up so they couldn't identify who did it.

Stick with the police :)

Actually I would argue it's more about speed. Redundancy is only used when something goes wrong, and even then you should have normal backups in place. The speed benefit is there every time you read from the array.

Forgot to mention the types of RAID that provide parity, but I don't see much use for those on a personal computer.

Why don't you want to ride it? The rain? The hills?

If it's the iPhone style where you have to tap through each turn, you should probably avoid doing that unless it can be voice controlled.

If it's the type that monitors where you are and moves through the steps on its own, then you're ok. Just don't set it up while you're moving.

I've also found/heard that as a jay-walking pedestrian, drivers will stop in really odd places for you, especially if you are easing into the outside lane in preparation to run across the street once they pass. On multi-lane roads it actually makes it even less safe to cross because you can't see what the numbnuts in the next lane is doing and whether they are also going to stop for you.

Re poorly marked streets: What's been annoying me a lot when driving at night is the tar or whatever it is they use to cover up old markings. It is reflective and looks exactly like the real reflective paint. It can be really unnerving at multilane crossings or turns if you aren't familiar with the particular road or intersection.

I thought he actually wanted to pawn it...

I just got one today and it is indeed a pitcher. Not as big as a pitcher of beer, of course, but it poured about three glasses.

As for how this is legal, I am not sure.

Some tighter outershirts can create nasty lines and bunching where the looser arms of the undershirt are, kind of like wearing a thong to avoid panty lines, I guess.
