Linux Based CarPC
Uber-Review writes "If you have been looking for a Linux based car PC. One man has made this a reality and documented putting together a Linux based car PC. Some of the features of this on board car PC is it can automatically sniff and record locations of wireless access points and plot them with GPS. You can watch a movie, browse the internet, get weather forecasts and stream Direct TV from your house right to your car. For an added bonus, you can remote start the car, and connect to it from inside the house and use SSH in, and transfer files without even getting off the couch."
Pretty cool. Been done. FP?
Frosty piss! Linux is dying!

Five members of the notorious troll group, GNAA, were busted in San Francisco tonight. ImageShack and Wikipedia were subpeoned after Animal Planet's Animal Detectives discovered images of basset hounds with very loose rectums and anuses. Raids were also launched from the FBI against the data center where Slashdot is hosted. All questions via e-mail to Slashdot weren't immediately responded to and all the members of Slashdot who are usually in #beastiality were not online tonight. Press Contact for GNAA, Gary Niger, was confirmed late tonight as one of the five caught. "No comment" said Niger, when asked about the charges.
Also seized from Niger's house was close to a terabyte file server with all types of beastiality, which authorities believed Niger got advice to build such a file server from an "Ask Slashdot" post, also torrents were offered for such beastialty all over Slashdot hidden under file names such as Windows Vista and Mac OS X. Videos showed GNAA members having dog sex orgies while snorting a white substance. Authorities initially though it was cocaine, however white powder seized from the house has been lab tested. Scientists believe it is caffine. San Francisco authorities are seeking legislation to ban such articles and torrents to prevent such disgusting animal sex distribution from happening again. Also, the DEA has decided to make caffeine it's highest priority to stop the spread of GRIDS from human to dog and vice versa, which can affect the dog sex lovers in San Francisco.
The raid was launched tonight and will be aired tomorrow night on Cops. Also, America's Most Wanted will aire an episode dedicated to dog sodomizers in the ranks of GNAA. If you GNAA members would just move from San Francisco to Alabama, you would of been alright.
Thank you.

Middle-of-the-night-strangely-related-weirdness: I just closed the door after talking to a cop (OK, OK, I told my wife first, then had a snack, and then insomaniacally logged in, so it's not *just* closed... it's not like I immediately must login to Slashdot every time I talk to the cops) who rang my doorbell to tell me 'some cat' had been sitting in my car parked on the street in front of my house. I'd forgotten to lock the doors, d'oh! She chased him off, nothing was taken, we've been having a rash of crimes in the area and could I please be more cognizant (her word) of keeping my doors locked, thankyouverymuch. And yes, she was hot, thanks for asking.
Would I love to have on disk a nice, clear, 3.3 megapixel self-portrait of this 'cat' sitting in my driver's seat? Yes, indeed I would. Having the door lightswitch trigger the shutter should be trivial. I'd like to have a portrait of my hero chasing him off, too, but designing an app to choose only the attractive plainclothes (Did I just say plainclothes? Ignore the honking two-way radio and clipboard and she'd have looked like she was on a date) policewomen instead of filling my HDD with pictures of traffic would exceed my skills. Bayesian filtering?
She is a neighbor, as well, which I guess is how she knew the guy, or 'cat' in pretty-cop-lady-lingo, didn't belong in the car he was in. Seeing as how we're neighbors and all, aren't I obligated to stop by and, um, thank her?
