  1. Not always to your benefit... on Lawmakers Try To Block Black Box Technology In Cars, DVR Tracking · · Score: 1

    Another aspect to consider: If you are not at fault, but were driving a few km/h over the speed limit, when you pull up your video to prove that the other driver was at fault, your speed could be used against you, even if it's totally clear that the other person was at fault. Tip: don't get fooled into buying a dashcam that permanently records your speed. As usual, most people are attracted to the cam models with the most bells and whistles, but some features may work against you, in particular speed recording.

    Do a search for dashcam, and you'll find hundreds of varieties. You don't need to build your own.

  3. Re:This whole "outweigh the benefit" nonsense on British ISPs Respond On Filtering · · Score: 1

    i think that the internet being swamped by more and more brutal and raw pornography can have a negative effect on children, and i would love for my kids not to stumble upon it. try searching for "riding" and whatever search words you can think of in order to find out about teenage horse riding clubs for example. i'm sure you can imagine the sort of search hits you get. however, i'm totally against the government imposing these stupid, unworkable, ineffective and expensive systems to try to stop anything they dont want us to see. it will never work anyway. all it does is forcing us to pay more and more taxes, and make people more and more ignorant because it's harder and harder to find information with actual value, the stuff the government don't want you to see, because that's what this is really about, not porn. everyone knows that. the government would like to be in total control of course. stopping children from viewing porn is a very weak argument, and can (and should) be dealt with by parents in the home anyway.

    yes, this is nothing but another attempt to hide the agenda of total control from the dumb masses. scary stuff.
