to connect back to a trusted network (i.e., one under your own control) so that you do all your email, browsing, etc. from there, and you'll be fine.
I do this with commercial hotspots, free hotspots, wireless at hotels, conferences, etc. - not to mention wired connections at any network which isn't my own.
Night City is now the largest City in the world. The Net has collapsed, but there are new net things even cooler. Rival groups (including the megacorps) are vying for world control.
seems pretty much like what I read on the news every day, you know?
It most certainly does do navigation - I've used it many times, it works pretty well. The main gripe I have with it is that it doesn't automagically reorient the map when you change direction, and as you mention, it doesn't verbally announce turns.
But it does route-planning, route-recalculation (albeit with manual triggers), and has Points of Interest for all the areas I've visited.
dealing with my relatives as part-owners of my business, or a horde of rapacious, money-grubbing VCs as part-owners of my business, it would be no contest - I'd vastly prefer dealing with the VCs, hands-down.;>
Not only because the command-and-control server can be hacked and the hosts running the screensaver turned into a botnet used to launch DDoS attacks, as we see - but because a) the veracity of the so-called 'target list' cannot be verified to the degree necessary to make this even theoretically sensible (i.e., it could be gamed by those submitting false spam reports to induce the system to attack innocents, not to mention the PCs of innocents which have been compromised as spam-proxies along with the network infrastructures of their ISPs), but outbound DDoS can be just as devastating as inbound DDoS.
This is the stupidest idea ever. I hope several someones end up suing Lycos over this, it's just moronic.

Untrue - Route 66 works just fine on my Mac with a USB GPS receiver, thank you very much.
but the pay sucks, and the benefits are even worse. ;>
if they're any good, can afford Macs. ;>

Ever heard of collateral damage?
This is a BAD idea.
Also, how do you think the list is 'verified'? It's utter nonsense.

speculated on for longer than that, that Gen. Powell would resign if President Bush were re-elected.

We're good like that, right?
we should change the National Anthem to Waltzing Matlida?
or did anyone else read that headline as 'Extended Rot13 Expected December 14'?
I was thinking that maybe folks had decided to use Rot13 as a replacement for MD5, or something.
Now that I think about it, that headline probably would probably read 'Rkgraqrq EbgX Rkcrpgrq Qrprzore 14' . . .
just to get some Space Dust?
