The other question one has to ask is when this AirIQ is operational? Does is apply all the time or only when the key is in the ignition? Perhaps the driver is having the vehicle towed or it may be on a transport truck? Who knows what all the reasons may be that the vehicle was traveling faster than the rental agencies top speed.
At that point I don't see how the individual who rented the car can be liable for how fast the car was traveling.
Seriously... how often do you see a cop pull over a tow truck and then write up a ticket for the owner of the car that's being towed! Give me a break.
I would love to see the condition where it was in the cargo hold of a plane being flown somwhere and it was traveling at VERY excessive speeds. Imagine what that would look like to the system operators!:)
I'm sure others can come up with even more examples where this setup could be fooled into giving out tickets when there is no just cause to be doing so.
Despite this fact I have come to understand the help yourself and rtfm mentality. The part of GT's logic I find hard to follow is the cost/analysis they seem to have done. Yes their support personel may not have very extensive Linux knowledge, but I don't think that there are a lot of Linux users out there who even USE tech support.
I find it hard to believe that any Linux user who would actually buy the boxed version with the binary Linux executables in it would be the type of user who would call tech support.
Yes I had to fight to get my SoundBlaster. I pissed away a few hours with pnpdump and isapnp. I'm more knowledgable as a result.
Its my opinion that GT made a mistake doing this. I WILL wait for the boxed Linux version of Q3. I would have bought UT as well. The demo rocks.
Too bad GT doesn't have a better grasp on they type of people that most Linux users are:)
The funny thing was that I was half way through the post before I realized it for what it was. I was laughing soo hard I could barely finish the rest of it.
Deffinatly one of the funniest/. posts I've read in a long LONG time!
In all of the online documentation concerning servlets, I've only been able to find material that covers the HTTPServlet. Does this book get into the GenericServlet in any depth as far as implementing/extending goes?

Just a few thoughts to chew over...
I am a realitivly new Linux user.
