A Big-Screen Mobile MP3 Console

Only an open source GNU hippie wouldn't buy something because it supported a patent infringing, inferior music format like OGG. Yer lucky it supports MP3--to truly protect intellectual property and artists, it should only support secure formats like WMA and Liquid Audio.
CEE5210S The signal SIGHUP was received.
Oh, joy. Now we have some idiot with a touch screen panel in his car running Winamp. Like this guy won't cause an accident.
So when he gets pulled over do they call the RIAA for not purchasing his music in each format he plays it in? Policeman into radio: Uh dispatch.. we need a tow truck, code napster. MP3 owner: What did I do officer? Policeman: Just wait here a minute, the nice folks at the RIAA are here to help.
Have you hugged your Karma Whore today?
that one song that I heard the other week...
i think it was after this one...
no no, about 200 back from here (scroll...)
was it around here? maybe down a few... (tap tap tap)...
*incoming telephone pole*
i wonder how he manages to drive and play q3a too.
(note the icon for it in the pictures).
I think I'd be a lot more interested in the girls that are impressed by the MP3 player that I put into my car than the girls that get impressed by a tan (not to mention that I go straight from fish-belly white to beet red after 15 minutes of solar exposure).

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You so funny! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You so original! You make me laugh! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You funny man! I like you jokes! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Wow...my sides are hurting with that funny, funny quip you just threw down on us like some clever maniacal funny man! You so funny! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Someone even modded you as funny to show how funny you really are to the rest of us! Quip, quip says you! Everyone! Over here! Look at the funny man! He made a funny about a screen being blue! Get it...blue...screen...HAHAHAHAHA! It's a reference to Windows...yes when it crashes...HAHAHAHAHA! Yes, I am not sure where this guy is from but boy is he funny! Who invited him to the party? We gotta have this guy over more often! Honey? Come down here a second and listen to this guy 'tell it like it is' in a really funny way. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! WinCe, that's priceless. "I thought the guy had installed a 'crash screen' from Windows." Gold. Just pure gold. How do you do it? So many people post on Slashdot but then you see a funny gem like this. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Pure hilarity. When's the last time you actually used Windows to see a bluescreen and so wittily remark about it? Had you been using Win2k or WinXP this wouldn't actually happen and hence your joke would 'have no teeth' as it were. But the brilliance of you tying in the blue screen with WinCE had me splitting my sides. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You funny man. So clever, so very very clever. I'll bet you were the funny man in high school too. Wow. You still got it!
I'm sticking in a phat I.C.E., laptop/desktop innards [shock dampened], fingerprint regognition [yeah I read the story], webcams, a G.P.S. thingy and an interface to several vital car components. A bit of UNIX Shell scripting/coding later, seeing as I'm doing it at college this year [hopefully]. I'll have the security system MMS me the coordinates, and mugshots of the "fucking stupid soon-to-be-dead" plonkers who think they can steal my motor, and de-activate the ignition, ready for me to pop a glock out the boot and teach them a lesson in Car Security they won't forget!
Errrm, well, anyways, I've yet to see someone really combine a car and a computer. Ignitions on modern cars are usually computer controlled so it's possible, at lest in theory. How about a Tomorrow Never Dies stylee remote controll? I'd add some hidden internal fual pumps and lighters just in case the car was out of range [hell, insurance will cover it ;-] and a webserver, just to be 31337.
Ah bollocks maybe I shouldn't post while drunk... but these are things I've seriously considered while Stone Cold Sober(tm)!
When the world seems to shine like you've had too...*THUD*

Ph33r m3!!!
yah but any manufacturer addition is SURE to have DRM built in :(
:)
Just imagine when your ignition is de-activated and the police given your GPS coordinates because you might possibly have an unlicensed MP3.
PS. does this mean I can get a yellow triangle...
MP3 on-board
errr....umm...*whooosh* *whoosh* Is this thing on ?
