I'm still not really convinced they work. Most of the demonstration show that they work in normal conditions, and that is precisely not the problem. It's like showing your code works if you disregard edge-conditions. I want to know what they do when a piano falls out of the sky, or when a sinkhole suddenly appears, or in the event of a thermonuclear explosion going off far enough away to not be instantly evaporated but close enough that you have to care. The crazier the better. Prove that they can handle scenarios that the programmers haven't explicitly thought of.

Quite.
I think commercial aviation would be a better place to start. The sky isn't as busy, is less prone to pedestrians and other hazards. Aircraft have far better instrumentation, traffic control etc. They're already half way there with autopilot.
When things go wrong on a plane, you get the checklist out. So the rules for an expert system are already well documented.
2 Rules:
Get the plane down as safely as possible for those onboard
Keep away from built up areas.
Apart from that, just do what air traffic control tell you.

Segway riders should be just shot that would fix any issues without banning them from the road
as to driverless cars, I would prefer a lot more carless drivers

IMO, the less cars have drivers, the better. Let 'em sit and rust; they can't cause problems, that way.
I agree on the coolness of the segway (everyone thinks they're crap, until they actually see one in use -- I did), but could you imagine what life would be like for people who live near boys' schools, if they were given free rein? And that's not to mention how many kids would be killed or injured by riding them like kids would ride them.

Two men are inside a bar, chatting while drinking their beer.
Then suddenly, the first man said, "You know what Tom, I really wanted to get married and be happy."
The second man, stared at him and asked,
"Wait. What do you really want? To get married or to be happy?"

It's perfectly easy to be married and happy. You just have to make sure the wife and the girlfriend never meet.

I had to make a trip to Sydney last weekend so I booked the cheapest options I could find (Scoot are excellent and the Biz upgrade was worth it) and selected a hotel from their linked list.
So far I have 4 requests for a review of the hotel from the various sites, 2 of whom I have never even dealt with, bastards keep out of my browser.

Send them a scathing review, blaming Scoot for misleading you about the standard of the hotel. It won't help either yourself or the hotel, but may discourage Scoot from pestering future customers...

I got a red eye arriving Sunday midday
I ran around like a blue arsed fly all day Monday till about 9pm.
I flew out Tuesday am.
I got no further west than Burwood and by 9pm on Monday I was knackered. There was not time for even a reasonably amount of drinking.

I received a phone call this morning from a gorgeous ex-girlfriend who called 'out-of-the-blue' to see if I was still around.
We lost track of time, chatting about the wild, romantic times we used to enjoy together.
I couldn't believe it when she asked if I'd be interested in meeting up and rekindling a little of that 'old magic'.
'Wow!' I was flabbergasted.
'I don't know if I could keep pace with you now', I said, 'I'm a bit older and a bit grayer and balder than when you last saw me. Plus I don't really have the energy I used to have.'
She just giggled and said she was sure I would 'rise to the challenge'.
'Yeah.' I said. 'Just so long as you don't mind a waistline that's a few inches wider these days!
Not to mention my total lack of muscle tone...everything is sagging, my teeth are a bit yellowed and I am developing jowls like a Great Dane!'
She laughed and told me to stop being so silly.
She teased me saying that tubby, gray haired, older men were cute, and she was sure I would still be a great lover.
Anyway, she giggled and said, 'I've put on a few pounds myself!'
So I told her to f*** off.

A crispy strip of bacon may be delicious, but research shows it could also be destroying your sperm count[^]

It's whole purpose is to eliminate the human race. Once you try it, you are addicted. Then not only does it kill you with heart disease it also prevents you from procreating. Who cares about Ebola. Bacon will be the end of man, mark my words.
