Software Holds Cell Phone Calls While Driving

An anonymous reader writes "Canadian company Aegis Mobility has developed software that detects if a cell phone is moving at 'car' speeds. If so, the software, DriveAssistT, will alert the cellular network, telling it to hold calls and text messages until the drive is over. Calls are not blocked entirely; callers will be notified that the person appears to be driving, but they can still leave an emergency voice mail, which will be sent through immediately."

    Not in America, no. Public transport in America is only for the very, very poor.

    Then she's talking to that large-dicked nigger who she's cheating on you with.

    When she says that she's meeting her "woman friend" for a makeover, she's really meeting him so that she can use his man-sauce as her foundation before she pulls herself inside out on his pole.
