Real Time Vehicle Tracking Made Easy

Makarand writes "The Washington Post has an article about a vehicle tracking system built by a start-up 10-20.com. The system uses low orbit satellites for exchanging location information making it available anywhere in the US. The tracking device, the size of a paperback, can be installed in any vehicle and powered by a battery. A small antenna installed on top sends signals to satellites marking its position on a web-based map. The equipment costs around $1000 and monthly fees range from $20 to $65. The service plan will determine how often your position will be updated by the system. The tracking system FAQ on the company website is pretty detailed."

It's slashdot. They just did an un-announced "upgrade" to Slash. Now, when you check your page, it not only shows how many replies and the mod value of the post, but also the latest moderation (offtopic, funny, etc.). Ooooh -- I'm so impressed. How slick; how hip. Also, when you MetaModerate, if the post was modded "Funny" your choices are no longer "Fair" or "Unfair" but rather "Funny" and "not Funny" -- another major improvement, CT! Now, how about you start editing? You know, proofreading and checking links and such? What, no time for that because you're so busy improving Slash? Yeah, right.

Hey, dipstick! Yeah, you with the Mod points: Before you moderate me "Offtopic" please answer this: Where the hell are we supposed to discuss these subjects? Where are comments like this Ontopic?
