Probably due to the fact debian is the only distro to work on the sparc machines. I would love to play with red hat but when the only non critical machine is a sparc5 I had to go to debian. And it works even with an old peice of trash it works...

lets see they said it on the simpsons and third rock from the sun... several others but I'm board...
Well as a driver you surender many rights, In fact the hours and how much you sleep are controlled by law.. the simple diffenition is you can drive for 10 hours than you have to sleep for 8 before anymore driving... if you run out of hours in chicago traffic it's you fault. The fine can be as high as $10,000 many times the driver is placed"out of service" and told to park his truck right there where he was stopped and sleep for 8 hours, if he leaves they will report him to the feds.
On all semi trucks made after 2000 they have an onboard computer system for the ABS this is also tied into the Qualcom communications system. My company had monthly printouts they showed where I had driven and when and where I slept. They than reviewed my driving style (shifting vs. RPM's how fast was I going when I hit the brakes - was it slow even pressure or quick pumping of the pedal - They even showed how fast and what gear to what RPM I rolled down hills in.) In the event of a highjack or even driver off course they will turn the governer down to allow idle only (i.e. driver drove to many hours, or unsafe).
I did see one episode the satillite transmitter went out on a "high dollar" load, 4 hours after signal died the driver pulls into our terminal for fuel. He swiped the fuel card and the computer on the fuel pump sent the location into headquarters. Before he finished fueling the governor was set to no more than Idle and the police (city, county, state, and a couple US marshals) were sourounding the place. He was tackled and stuffed into a squad car till it was all sorted out.
Well now the poor kid that gets told to do the homework or get a beating for the bullies will have 50- 100 of these RFID tags so it looks like everyone is in class.
Like I need another card, between the Civilian CDL, the doctors exam certifacation, the army drivers lic, the military ID card, the Amature Radio lic., the Concealed weapons permit, the 2 gun club cards and 5 library cards... this will prove I am the person all these cards say I am...
Okay I want to know how the judge's secretary is feeling after the/.'ing yesturday...maybe even an offical word from the telemarketers how we validated their business model.
