    Nothing's wrong with it to the general public. But since slashdot (and geeks in general, it seems) are so fucking paranoid, any article that refers to such technology will instantly put a bad spin on it.

    Too bad the /. crowd is also too lazy to get off their fat asses and do anything about the things they argue so strongly against.

    Actually in my experience compasses do in fact, fail.

    Please elaborate.
