    " .... but how about investing the money spent (probably millions) in making this gum into other areas?"

    um... is dental hygiene not important enough for you? Americans spent nearly $68 billion on dental services in 2002.

    We'll benefit from it, practically every technology for military use has filtered down to civilian use. Ever heard of the microwave? Cell phone? How about GPS?

    If this only cost a few million I think this is money well spent!

  2. Re:Better than most. by isecore · · Score: 1 · on Mazda Switches To USB Keys

    Most car models that don't have a radio immobilizer of some kind (which is most cars) only have maybe 30 different keys for the whole model production. A lot of repo guys have key rings with all the standard keys for high-repo models.

    Many older SAAB models (the 99 for example) have identical keys for the entire series. This is rather amusing, and it's a common occurence that an owner of a old-model SAAB might accidentally drive off with a different car.

    It happened to my mother when she owned one. She got into the wrong car (but right color/model) and drove for about 100 ft before she realized it wasn't her car at all. Left a note with an apology and parked it in the same place. Think this happened 2-3 times in total while she owned it.

    Actually, British Aerospace hasn't bought Saab Areospace. They own 37,367 thousand stocks, or 35% of the votes.

    You know...this would put an end to high speed pursuits

    So would this (scroll down to Carl Gustaf). Probably much more fun to watch, too.
