Satellites Used to Stop Car Thieves in Pakistan
zymurgy_cat writes "Yahoo has an interesting story about a
company in Pakistan that uses satellites and mobile phone networks to monitor and disable stolen cars. Looks like they can also monitor people's driving habits and whether or not they're using the air conditioner. The article comments about how much easier it is for them to do things like disabling cars remotely than in Western countries. (Remind me to never rent a car in Pakistan.)"
Pakistan? I thought they'd just shoot the mule.
You've been reminded.
I wonder if you can use these satalites to look at naked chicks. Maybe the paparizzi can get one...
There's a growing sense that even if The Future comes,
most of us won't be able to afford it.

Behind the satellite system ... stands businessman and crime fighter Jameel Yusuf
Crime fighter, eh? Does that mean he wears his underwear outside of his pants?
So is there a rush of vehicle thefts during periods of high sunspot activity and coronal mass ejections like now?

Aussie cops must not have such great equipment.
Somehow, I always picture them having souped-up V8's with 'INTERCEPTOR' printed on the back...
A man is taking a walk in Central park in New York. Suddenly he sees a little girl being attacked by a pit bull. He runs over and starts fighting with the dog. He succeeds in killing the dog and saving the girl's life. A policeman who was watching the scene walks over and says:
"You are a hero, tomorrow you can read it in all the newspapers:
"Brave New Yorker saves the life of little girl"
The man says: - "But I am not a New Yorker!"
"Oh then it will say in newspapers in the morning:
'Brave American saves life of little girl'" - the policeman answers.
"But I am not an American!" - says the man. "Oh, what are you then?"
The man says: - "I am a Pakistani!" The next day the newspapers say:
"Islamic extremist kills American dog. Connections to terrorist networks are being explored"
