That could be in some cars. That said though, removal of such a system may be "foolish" however, a sufficiently technical car owner should be allowed the choice, airbags or not, black box or not... If I *own* (not lease, not rent not finance) but outright own my car then I should be able to modify it in whatever way I see fit. What worries me, is that there will be laws passed prohibiting the removal of black-box type devices.
Seriously, how many times have you been tooling down the interstate (Or here in Alberta, the yellowhead;) ) and there's some yahoo in a pimped out honda civic going 90 mph.. Chances are the driver of that car hasn't seen a racetrack or taken the required car control clinics and training nessecary to safely drive at those speeds...
Never mind the fact that potholes, debris, wild animals and of course pedestrians and other drivers exist on our public roads.
I saw this on the news last night and thought "hmmm... Precident setting" The problem with a black box, is that it might be prone to abuse. Lets say you rent a car and exceed the speed limit (80mph isn't usualy legal anyway as an example). Perhaps the rental car company will charge you a fee for speeding. (maybe to cover any photo radar your triggered).
That kind of thing...
Also, on the news they intervied the dead Victim's sister.. she of course mentioned that without the black box data they would have figgured her brother was at fault.. etc etc.
Guess there's 2 sides to the black box issue. It can be both good and bad, abused or not.
That said, if I buy a car with one. I will disable it. Hell, my car, my choice to make.
IT seems to me, that some of these rather minor offenses are being over reacted to. Sure a 1 year jail sentence will kepp people from taping movies in a theatre, but, this is America you're talking about, why not just a $ fine? like $20k or something for the first infraction.
I think that the Parent's atitude is shitty.. this is a law that the guy was blatently breaking. As long as the MPAA doesn't mess with my fair use, I support them doing this in theatres *IF* this will keep DVD costs and movie costs from skyrocketing due to piracy.
Problem with lindows.. or linspire, or whatever
That click and install thing was a great idea, but why the monthly fee? seems to me, that if you're going to have a linux based os, that the free utils should remain free! geeze..
Now if they have their own version of something that they want to sell, fine, but when you go to click and install a simple thing and it wants money.. that is a bit off...
My 88 bmw 528e has about 240000miles on its ZF 4hp22 transmission, the drivetrain is fine. That bitch still winds up fine to 100mph+ and get 30mpg while doing it.
Change your oil every 10000 miles? PLeeeeease don't sell a car to me.
You probably also change your ATF every 4 years?
Hmm. also regarding emissions standards, the emissions reading on my 528e are way lower then our newer crown vic. Actually that 528 puts out damned neat CO.
Come to think of it, my 75 bmw 2002 doesn't do too bad either. It's got 600k on its 4 speed manual transmission:P
Has anyone really looked at a spammer's business model? In the article he says that they cannot afford 1c per email, however is that claim substantiated by any research, has anyone done any research on the topic?
Generally users may be giving consent in some form to spyware, but every user whos computer i've ever removed gator etc from has had no idea the programs were there or that they were installed with something they downloaded.
So part of the problem is the ignorance of the "unwashed" masses, these folks are never going to really read the EULA, nor are they going to understand it.
On our Can-it (anti spam) box, i have seen an increase in messages in the pending bin. They are all the same spam, but from a multitude of different IP. All within a very short timeframe of one another.
anyone seeing this too?
What sucks is when a spammer decides to spoof your domain and you get a 100000 bounce messages a day.
*sigh*
What we did was had a look at the advisory from
Mcaffee, and set up our email scanner to block attachments with that particular name,
also sending out an email to all staff regarding the new virus helps raise awareness.
Actually owning automatic weapons in canada is legal provided that you owned them before they were classified as prohibited under section 12(2)
the 12(3) applies to formerly auto guns (converted autos)

Umm. Think about it. The material of an LCD panel is pretty lightweight stuff. We're not talking CRTs here.. My Inspiron 8200 is well built, all this whining about heavy unwieldly heat producing laptops makes me sick!
Ever heard of the osbourne? Here's a machine that weighed like 30 pounds and had a *TINY* green and black crt..:)
My dell is a godsend. I also get 3 hours with the p4 1.8 and their new li-on battery

I think he should be nailed to something. That said, the guy who was videotaping in theatres probably shouldn't see a year in jail.

You're wrong, failing to take the condom off after sex somehow causes your willy to hang out and the moment you get outside you end up being arrested.
