The maker of the Segway Human Transporter has agreed to recall the motorized scooters because riders have been injured falling off when its batteries are low. The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall Friday, saying that three people had been injured. One suffered a head wound and needed stitches.

Go elsewhere.

"That conversation was between discostu and myself.
You jumped in after the fact."

ROFL.

It's a public forum. If you don't like it try using private e-mail. It's not your personal forum where you can demand your off topic posts be kept free from comment.

Get a clue...

They built a device that couldn't gracefully stop when running out of juice.

Conjecture without knowledge of all pertinent facts ...

Everybody gather around, I'd like you to meet JohnSmithee.
He signed up on September 10th.
He just jumped on a conversation between discostu and I after it concluded yesterday.
He is being harrassing, and I'd rather not bother the admin guys just yet.
He asked a stupid question which was already answered in the previous exchange between discostu and I.
And he's trolling for an argument.
Just take a look at his comments page and you'll see just about everything he's been pulling.
I will be awaiting your advice guys.

JS, your last chance to just leave it alone.

Uh, no. Ever since I asked a simple question you have gone out of your way to harrass me. My initial question was asked in a simple way without any insults. Yet, every one of your responses has been filled with accusations and insults. Why do you think you can go around harrassing *me*?

You could have ended this a while ago by just responding in with some respect. But you continue to insult and so I am repeating all the trash you are throwing at me. But apparently you can dish it out but you can't take it.

I will happily contact the admins to deal with your behavior.

As a QA engineer it's actually my JOB to tell people like Kamen when they're head is too far in the clouds and they need to come back to reality.

Ah yes - the old 'QA game' where it's far easier to issue a blanket 'no', invent impossible QA 'tests' to the detriment of product innovation ...

BASING an entire philosophy off of one 'glitch' that may involve a number of factors outside the control of Kamen's enginering team (including changing battery characteristics over time (such as impedance, capacity), use of the device on surfaces or in climates or in ways it's not designed for, (improper use), et cetra set cetra et cetra) ...

Uh, yes you are harrassing.
That conversation was already concluded when you tried to start a fight about it.
Your attitude about it was obvious.
And you claimed to have read the conversation, which you obviously did not do since you are still going after this.

You are the one trolling. You think you can brow beat me with insults and accusations from asking simple questions. If you don't like the question just ignore it, but don't go out of your way to harrass me.

Nah. There was never going to be a fight. I asked a simple question -- something that takes place on FR every day.

*YOU* have been harrassing *ME*. Why do you think I have responded to all your posts? I don't like being coerced through insults to not engage in debate.

I wouldn't waste my time or breathe Darksheare. Really, it will catch up with him all on it's own.

The beauty of FR is that once we've been around long enough we know who each other are and can't be fooled.

The new folks or even new identies of old folks are soon revealed for what they are.

We know you and this really isn't worth the effort imho.
We've more important fights to fight.
