    You need to learn what that really means. People toss that phrase around like candy at retailers when something in the circular is sold out, it happens. It certainly doesn't apply in this situation.

    I'm trying to remember what program/website has a satirical idea about using such a device to shoot the homeless.

    Take away the radio? Aside from the lobbyists that will have your head from Pioneer, Sony, et al.... Wtf do you do to entertain yourself for long drives. If if didn't have the radio or aux input I'd probably end up going crazy and never reaching my destination.

    Your crazy CVR idea aside, it's called OnStar and plenty of people yank them from vehicles for good reason.

    So you were gonna buy an older PS3 model to upgrade from 360? Other OS hasn't been on the current production models since about September.

    If all he wanted to do was run a mythTV front end, where is the problem? It's more like buying a truck to haul wheat and being told that you can't transport tomatoes too if you don't upgrade to the newest firmware that doesn't support wheat. No big deal, I only wanted wheat (linux) and fuck the tomatoes (games) I don't use those anyways.

    More apt description.
