    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.

  2. RIAA Illegal Car? by maynard-lag · · Score: 3, Funny

    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.

    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).

  6. When i get my 3L Toyota Supra Turbo... by The_Guv'na · · Score: 2, Funny

    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)!

    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 :)
