  1. Re:Good. on Intentional GPS Jamming On the Increase · · Score: 1

    You should ALREADY be at the speed limit (in fact, significantly less than, in almost all circumstances).

    Mind elaborating on this? What do you consider significantly less? Driving 30 in a 40mph zone? I don't see a reason for driving under the speed limit in "almost all circumstances." The only reasons for driving slower than the limit would be if there is Snow, Ice, Heavy Fog, rain, etc. If there is nothing impairing your vision, the vehicles contact with the road, or people in the area around the street, where is the need to drive that slow?

    Sorry, comment below was meant to be reply to this

    That is a good point. However, if the internet is part of the vehicles main system as a standard feature, it can be a vehicle lockout. It's hard to stop people from putting a new screen in and attatching it to a DVD player / PS3 or whatever. But, if the internet is disabled at the main computer level, it would be many times harder to circumvent.

    What would really be the key to it, is only allowing it while the vehicle is parked. Having it able to be used while the driver is moving the vehicle will be very dangerous. Even if they make it hands free, having the eyes off the road reading an internet page is a big no-no if you ask me.

  5. Re:We could fly without showing ID, really? on TSA Bans Flight If You Refuse To Show ID · · Score: 1

    It's not really that painful. They just mark your ticket saying you need "extra screening" or something. You go through as normal, except after the metal detector / baggage inspector, you go off to the side. They pat you down, and swab your bags with a cotton thing that they put in a machine to test for explosives and whatnot. Then they send you on your way. It actually helped me get through faster as I was sent to the front of the line...and it was a long line. Though I'm not sure if you have to check a bag. I know they ask for ID for that stuff.

  6. Re:How's that different from... on The One-Use, Self-Destructing DVD Returns · · Score: 1

    Redbox DVD rental's are so much nicer. $1 per night. Thats easily enough time to rip it to your hard drive and watch it before it has to be returned. Though, I suppose selection is smaller than Netflix.

    It would actually be really easy. Seeing as it has been done for quite a long time already. http://www.insanelymac.com/ http://wiki.osx86project.org/ People have been running "Vanilla" copies of OSX on intel based hardware for quite some time. That means, the kernel, and components of OSX are unmodified. As far as Apple can see it's a real Mac.

    Those 2 images are not to the same scale. If you look in the lower left cornor the 500mi size is definitely longer for the United States image than the Europe image.
