nope - it was the best movie I saw last year. About a hundred times better than the badly-directed, overblown, unimaginative, tedious computer-generated Return of the King.
I suspect a lot of them wouldn't be able to steal a car if it were0 locked and properly secured. There's a certain amount of skill in that. Not much is required to threaten someone with a gun and take their keys.
And actually I think for most criminals the last thing they want is to take a hostage. It dramatically increases the number of things they have to worry about and increases their chances of capture.
The one insightful comment so far in this entire discussion!
To the morons going on about how the criminals can hack the limiter on their cars in the safety of their own garages: yes we realise that, thanks. They can also install rocket-launchers and stinger missiles.
This is a solution to a _different problem_, e.g. when a criminal hijacks another car to escape. You're telling me he's going to spend five minutes dicking around under the car to disable the limiter first? Get a fucking clue!
I doubt most car-jackers want to become hostage-takers. No reason why the presence of the car owner should prevent the police from accessing the speed limiter.
Seems to me this measure would be very effective against car-jacking and similar vehicle theft where there isn't time to interfere with the limiter electronics.
do you want to spend your time in a historical admiration of other people's work? Or do you want to learn about their ideas in the most efficient manner possible, so that you can build on their ideas and make your own contributions to the history of ideas?
I want to do both actually. Maybe there isn't time to do it all but that's no reason not to try.
Is it not the case that when you buy a season ticket then it is linked to you via your photocard number, which they record at purchase?
So effectively the technology to track you does already exist if you're a season ticket holder.
And anyway the secret agents sitting opposite you in the carriage are always there in case the technology fails. You do wear your tin foil hat on the tube at all times don't you?
adding random dictionary words just means those words become less useful (have a lower Bayesian probability) as non-spam identifiers. The spam still has to contain the spammer's message/product/website whatever, i.e. MAKE XXX MONEY FREE VIAGRA NOW, which the Bayesian filter picks up.
You can't really poison a Bayesian database this way.
Nuclear weapons have already been developed, tested, and used. They worked. Lots of people died. So why exactly do we need to spend money and resources developing even more lethal versions?
You call people naive and then refer to 'the supremacy of good over evil'.. think about it dumbass.

which distros, what hardware and which card? That would make it sound a lot less like FUD.
In parts of Wales football means rugby.
In fact soccer is probably only called 'football' in England and Scotland (elsewhere it's futbol, calcio, etc)!
The Yopy runs X11 and is a proper Linux PDA, at half the price of this new Zaurus.
Yeah - that's porn for you. just too damn addictive.

I've had mine for a few months and it's great!
I think you're missing the point; minaturisation costs money. Try lugging a real HD around. Plus the sales volumes are smaller.
Like the username!... Hobbit-botherer baiting is turning into one of the more amusing pastimes here on /.

I sure wish people would stop using the term bitchslap. It's fucking offensive.

nice one - I agree! If I had mod points you'd have them!
for some reason I read that as 'eradicate' rather than educate.. and what's more it seemed reasonable!
well, apart from the really dodgy stuff.
Not necessarily; as far as I'm aware it's not yet known whether chess is a draw, a white win or a black win.

I can almost imagine Darl attempting the solo on Baker Street.

It's like System/360 all over again..
It's not like rain on your wedding day.
Surely they just needed 1/8th of a cube and a couple of mirrors?
Might as well read the whole of the original article plagiarised by the AC.
