Using GPS to Hail Cabs

Posted by michael on from the almost-as-good-as-having-a-flying-car dept.

The Benefactor writes "The guys at The Register are running a story about using mobile phones to hail cabs in London. Using GPS technology to locate the nearest available cab and to direct it to where you call from this should make frantic arm waving to get their attention a thing of the past."

    On my way to work this morning I heard some horrible news on my police scanner. Shawn Cochran, computer programmer and a pioneer in space travel died of a brain aneurysm late last night. You probably remember Cochran as the inventer of the first warp engine. The Slashdot community will miss him. Truly an American icon.

    Yeah, right. How do you feel speaking for the clit mutilating savages who like nothing better than blowing up women and children. Go and take your venomous rants against freedom, democracy and happiness somewhere else you fucking faggot.
