What if this were mandatory and tied to the app that measures your driving for the insurance company?
Not good with its error rate. False positives be dammed, we are raising your rates!
How about a different solution? A device in the car, NFC, RFID, Bluetooth, etc, that handshakes with phones in the car, and which the driver has to answer to show which passenger is the driver. Then the app on the drivers phone disables texting until you are out of the car. Until someone with a phone present claims to be the driver, the car will not run.
Say what you want, but I've been having a hard time gauging Slashdot GroupThink on the subject of Climate change. It's ether:
A) Climate Deniers are Stupid
B) Climate Deniers are Justified
or
C) You're just a shill
It really seems to come down to which group has the most Mod Points or which group has the most dedication to the thread. Each side just views the other as Trolls so it goes nowhere.
So, you are saying its like american society and government? Did'nt know/. was such a good mirror.
It is not just about the money. Class action can also be used as a cudgel to change corporate behavior. It is one more weapon against heinous, negligent, and usurous actions. Sorry we cheated, used, and/or sickened thousands, but nya_nyaa you can't touch us. If you're not bent over yet, get ready for the rape. Don't worry, thete is plenty of TMZ and Fox News to distract you from the pain.
I love MBA math. You can concoct any numbers you like to support your business case. I tried this in pre algebra, x*2=20; I answered x=pi. I failed. Why don't they?
You already have a projector, and presumably a laptop or PC to run it when someone does not bring their own device. One or two omnidirectional mics with mute buttons, and a script or app to run it all. Perhaps Audacity. All on the existing PC in the room, and mutable by anyone at the table. YOu could also perhaps rig a light or an icon on the projected image to indicate recording is on with the right scripts.
I love that more people modded this insightful rather than funny.
"He used a big word.. it must be insightful!"
Dear fellow slahdotters, anthropomorphizing means giving something the characteristics of humans, when it is not human.
The statement is funny because he say to stop doing that, then does it himself in the same sentence. By some that would be considered a form of irony.
It was certainly intended as a joke. And the fact that the crowd here cannot see it, but feels confident in modding insightful is a sign of our own hubris.
Someone should cross breed this with pumpkin chunkin. The main category should be limited to being propelled by only the energy stored in the phones' battery.

Anyone testing to have even a fragment matching me, excepting relatives forward and backwards 2 degrees, will be henceforth subject to a cease and desist, then possible civil and criminal action for violating my IP.

No, Obama (D-Kenya) has stated that his family, like many Kenyans, dislike Ukranians. I stems from the Kenyan - Ukranian war in Djibouti (capital Djibouti). {end sarcasm}
First, let me say I am not a MS fanboy. I despise the 'metro' interface. I have the release preview loaded on a few VM's so I can learn it as I will have to support it.
That aside, I disagree with your assessment of the ribbons in office. I have used MS office products since Word 2.0, and I trained people basic and advanced techniques in all office apps for 7 years, starting with 2000, then 2003, then 2007.
When 2007 came out, I despised it. I remember hunting for 7 minutes just for 'Change Case' or 'Insert Date'. I have to say however, that was because of my familiarity with the older versions. Since I was teaching the software, mostly to adults who had little if any computer experience, it amazed me how much faster and easier they learned with ribbons than with the old UI.
Once I trained my brain on both UI's I could do pretty much what I wanted in either with a minimum of fuss, and the ribbons did start to make a sort of logical sense to me as well.
Regardless, I do not see the benefit of the 'metro' style interface at all. It feels like I am losing flexibility and I hate that. So for my customers and friends, I will recommend that if they require MS, Windows 7 is where you should stay. Otherwise I have a nice kubuntu or Linux mint DVD for you.

Feed all the MBAs to the paper shredder.
