It's very similiar to the non-commercial open-source dashpc project. The link is: dashpc.com. It's been slashdotted before. I think it was called "dashboard linux". The code for it was just submitted to sourceforge recently.
Something about this "commercial" vehiclepc seems very fishy though...
The original poster didn't say he wanted brains, he said he wanted money. CS doesn't give you anything that MIS can't. With the exception of possibly opening you up to becoming a "professional student" with 6+ engineering degrees and no real world experience.
When is the last time you were asked that at an airport? So they have a "lie detector". BFD, I don't have to talk to _anyone_ at the airport if I don't care to. The questions they ask are simple yes/no questions; ie, "have you had your bag with you at all times?". I could simply jot, "i lost my voice" on a peice of paper and be relaxed enough to go thru this device. I like the thing that "smells" for C4 or other explosives better.
Better still have the machine that "smells" for C4 automatically detonate it and see who has the last laugh. Poof! 1 Problem solved.
Besides, the people that lie well are the criminals anyway. Anyone who _doesn't_ get nervous under scruitiny is usually guilty of something.
Would you not agree that by doing so you "force" attention to the situation? If a handful of people have the info and the company knows it exists, they'll be much more reluctant to patch it. I highly doubt AIM would be patched nearly as soon as it will now. It's the simple: "out of sight, out of mind" philosophy.
Releasing the exploit practically guarantees it will get the necessary attention to get it resolved. Big business will hate this idea, and eventually by way of "senator padding" it will be absolved or made illegal because it's not in the companies best interests.
Rule #1: Never use an ISP email account. Always roll your own or use a free one, or even rent one from a yourfirstname@yourlastname.com type place. Point it where _you_ want it.
Rule #2: Never get comfortable with your provider. You will only get hurt. Can you say, "Mergers and aquisitions, baby!".
Rule #3: Never feed her after midnight, and never get her wet; and most important of all never, ever, ever, tell her about the STD...
You brainwashed Microsoft dolts are the one with the "tactics".
Just once I'd like to meet a Microsoft zealot who _thoroughly_ (and not the MCSE version of thoroughly) know's both systems (Linux and Windows). Then you might be able to open your mouth and produce a comprehensive statement. It's so typical for a Microsoft kiddie to recite the same "slashdotter tactics" and consider it a valid arguement.
Educate yourself regarding linux, and then you'll see how senseless your statements are.
I'm glad I've learned both systems, and I sleep better every night knowing that I've made an informed decision on the OS that I use and my company depends on.
Yes, because THEY fix your problem and you learn nothing from the experience. The translation will come when your "company" pays the cost (both for support and your ignorance) because "you're not skilled enough" because you grew up paying Dell for support instead of learning the shit in the first place like you were supposed to!
How do you plan on preserving your integrity working for the richest company in the world? I don't doubt your integrity, I just wonder how you will maintain it and avoid looking out for the interests of the company [Microsoft].
Well, keeping with the 21st century, I'm going to "carry a torch" by doing the following: Patenting "software which preserves the right of the client, inobstructibly; regardless of the owner of the content, such that the client whom purchases digital bits may re-assemble them _without_ paying the seller per instance of doing so". I think I'll call it "cracking software" or something catchy and fun like that.
WE are the people, and we need to nip this soon, or WE will all suffer.
Heed my words...

What a boatload of penguin shit! There's not a single thing of consequence that he would need to do in a dashboard PC that can't be accomplished just as well under Windows as under Linux.
Sure there is: The most notably being that I can't trim down my kernel to effectively reduce my boot time by a significant percentage. I haven't done this yet so I can't provide empirical data, however, I know for a fact that I can't change the Windows 2k kernel/hooks. If for no reason than that I've made my decision to use an "open source" operating system, and I'm ultimately happy. Having started the project on Windows (my initial creation), I've seen both sides and I can say that "linux works better [in this application]". I've gotten more support and tips from "those open-source types" than I could've possibly dreamed of from the "closed source or Microsoft" crowd. Consider your argument defeated and go busy yourself with a system reboot or something.
I designed the dashpc, and I agree with you fully. Now I am at the refinement stage and I'm looking into using a PIC to replace the BS2. The learning curve on the PIC was too steep (in asm) and at the time I just wanted to "do" this project. The BS2 was simple and cheap, so I went with it. As I make the transition to a PIC, if you'd like to offer any assistance, I'd be much obliged. Contact me via the site, or my email above.

Dude, you are a god. Thanks sooo much for that link. Last time I checked there was no good GPS software for linux. I'm soooo stoked. I can finally drop Windows 100%.
You sir are absolutely correct! I did have to remove the cupholder to put in the LCD screen. If only I could've had 1 more vertical inch they could have happily coexisted (however, the cupholder would be above the LCD which would have me worried 24-7.
The original version of the "dashpc" ran Windows (as pictured in the parallaxinc website). That was about 2 years ago. It now runs linux.
The "features" picture was just a picture of a Jetta that I found on the internet. I didn't feel like "rolling my own picture of a Jetta" when there are plenty on the web. I didn't note the 2 door until after it had been added to the site. 99.9% of people don't "attack" the nonsensical details as you do.
I haven't taken any pictures of the "exterior" of the car because that hasn't been my focus. The car is Volkswagen Jetta. Big deal. They are all over the place. My focus is on the dashpc, which resides on the..... interior. I will add a picture of the exterior of the car so that I can prove "beyond a shadow of a reasonable doubt" that the car is indeed: A Jetta. Woo! Hopefully, you'll be able to get some sleep finally. It appears you've lost a lot of it due to these details...
I use bulletproof window film on the linux car. A thief could break the window out, but it's much, much more difficult; and the time it would take would eliminate the idea of "smash and grab". It'd be more like: "smash, smash, bash, bash, bash, hit, pull, tugg, tug, smash, bash, rip, and try to grab without getting cut." It's not foolproof, but it's a healthy deterrent. It's expensive too, but that's the price you pay (no pun intended).
Absolutely not. You are 180 degrees out of phase my friend (well, fellow/.er; close enough). __I__ pay to amplify my signal. I pay my electric company for the juice and I pay my hub manufacturer (Linksys) for the hardware. I would gladly pay for _1_ cablebox if I had the capability to divide the content among my televisions. I _don't_ have that option. I must pay for each cable "device" that sends the signal to my TV. That's $7.95 in the ATL-GA-USA per box/device.
My cable company provides me with the signal. And in a fortunate turn of events for them, I get shafted because I have to pay for _1_ signal and _many_ cable box/devices.
Who got the shaft on this deal? (here's a hint: I'm a consumer).
It's kind of like my belief that before I was born nothing existed. Because before I was born [in my mind] nothing _did_ exist. It's a very egocentric way of looking at the world around you...
I tend to think that this _could_ have an adverse effect on Microsoft. I recall that what initially drew me to Linux in the first place was that it was "different" and not shoved down my throat by school or coporate life. I got the added bonus of it being a superior operating system and I've been a staunch supporter ever since but that's just a sidenote. The point is that when everywhere I looked, I saw M$, I wanted something fresh and new. I wanted to rebel. Let M$ put buggy, crap software in the schools and let the new generation get fed up with it early. And often (the blue screens that is). They'll probably learn the lesson sooner than we did.
I've been waiting almost 2 weeks now to have my DNS changed. First is was thier "broken" email verification/authentication issue. So I proceeded to FAX the authorization form to them. I was told that within 5 days my DNS would be changed. It has now been 8 days (not counting the week of the email fiasco!). If anyone at NSI is reading this, please have someone resolve this issue, because you really don't want to lose the/. crowd! If my issue isn't resolved tomorrow AM, I am dumping NSI _completely_. Hopefully, others will heed this warning and do the same.
There definately should be. Perhaps XML will ring in a new era and bring standardization to a lot of industries. I would figure that it would first have to define a standard for network topology; It wouldn't be long after that the visio-esque companies would start drawing things the same. I doubt it'll happen, but it would be nice...
