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.)"

    Why don't we just nuke them all from orbit? It sure would solve a lot of annoying problems. Gas would be cheaper and there would be more food for starving Africans.

    Is this not a breach of human rights? I don't think people should be monitored in this way, even if it is to prevent crime.

    I would if I was like 80% of the users of this website. Most of them are 300 lb Linux nerds who have never asked a girl out and forget to bathe or change their underwear months on end.

    It is clear that most /.ers are more interested in orc sex than if Abdul gets his car stolen in Oobadubagistan.

    And you just proved that the only true stereotype is the American one: the typical American believes that the rest of the world has never seen a car.

    I bet my ass you can't even locate Pakistan in a map.

    We Americans at least have the sense to take a shower and brush our teeth every once in a while. Mix in some Right Guard and some Scope, and shave that uni-brow, fool!
