It's such a scam. Anyone who puts that in their car is a fool.
Its not even a discount, you have to log in to see your projected discount, which is of course altered by the data it records. Chances are since everyone speeds, you will not the discount they claim. Instead you will likely see a rate increase.
The insurance industry is about fucking people out of money. It has little to do with providing a service.
Doesnt this violate privacy laws? Your car is your own private property. Random people can not just use your car at will. You have a key, it locks the doors, starts the engine. It is private property. It is yours. If someone else takes it, they are stealing private property under the law.
So we've established that a car is private property. How can they log and track your private property?
The only possible reason is because it is on public roads, but so what? If you're simply driving your vehicle, why should anyone have the ability to log what happens in your vehicle?
Valve knows what MS and Sony keep ignoring. Although I suspect MS is well aware based on what they're doing with windows 8.
As we see consoles attempt to be PCs... we will simply see Valve deliver a PC experience to consoles, in a fully upgradable, open platform hardware device known as a PC. The games will be compatible no matter what. They will run on windows8. They will connect to steam and even xbox live if you want.
The future is the PC... consoles are dead. Mark my fucking words bitches
Anytime you see a politician say something is wrong, he's sending a secret message to the lobbyists that he wants to be paid off, to lay off the issue.
You know what really causes aggression? Being human. Emotions are a big part of who we are. A child wanting a toy, will cry, complain, misbehave and get violent. Anyone playing sports will have feelings of aggression. Anyone doing anything competitive in life will feel aggression.
I think we should question those of us who think aggression is bad, such as the government. Now lets think for a second, Why would the government want you to be pacified for life? Could it be that they have an interest in keeping the masses from rising up against them? Perhaps they dont want proactive people who are motivated to make a change where change is needed? Perhaps they dont want a competitive public, and only want sheep?
Perhaps their goal is to ban videogames so people dont feel what its like to triumph in life?
Perhaps their goal is to destroy whatever is left of our economy, by eliminating the game industry?
Perhaps they want to stop the 1 or two children that act out in life due to a videogame? Is it really worth penalizing 100 million people, for the actions of 3 and the potential actions of 3 more?
You know what really causes aggression? Liars in public office, that get rich off lobbies money, and create wedge issues to get lobbyists to pay them even MORE money. I suspect when a few of these clowns receive their bribery checks, they will stop picking on video games. Funny that one in california... where they make games and entertainment isnt it?
The government rape of industry will continue, and you will continue to be the sheep you are bread to be.
Dont get upset because you cant put 2 and 2 together or hold more than 1 idea in your little brain.
You have no idea how this industry formed... kids sharing copied atari and c64 games on floppies staff most of the entire industry, and educated the rest. They're the neighbors kids that fixed your mommy's computer, so her shitty cunt son (you) could play his bible software on it.
Ok, lets put aside the fact that you think poor people shouldnt have any enjoyment in life.
I never said companies are under any obligation to do anything. I'm using simple math and reasoning here with a bit of humane instinct which you seem to lack, cause you just want to be a cunt.
The point which you obviously can not figure out for yourself, is that If I had sandwich, and you were hungry... AND we both had a digital connection and a machine that could transmit the sandwich from you to me, to 1000s of other hungry people without loss of income, or destruction of my own yummy sandwich... Would you still say I had no obligation to share? Perhaps I would not have an obligation, but then I would be a cunt.
It's not that the companies have an obligation, they do not. It is simply the fact that history has proven that todays software engineers, were yesterdays pirates. Today's special fx artists, started with pirated copies of photoshop and 3dstudio dos. History has shown that piracy has STAFFED our entire computer industry with knowledgable hackers who knew what an NUP was.
I'm sorry but you cant deny history, and its benefits... and denying the poor, or the uneducated, a chance to learn or benefit froms omething they could never afford... would be a GIANT failure for civlization. APPLE, MICROSOFT, GOOGLE, YAHOO, YOUTUBE, EVERY Videogame studio, Every tech giant you ever heard of, exists because of pirates.

GOD Damn it, a terrorist.. AND a wise ass.
Videogames are corrupted YOU!
In the videogame industry, we have a rule. All games must contain a penis. So yeah.. ever box needs a warning.
Not only that.
Entering a public school will most likely get a child bullied, abused, and leave severe mental problems that will hurt them their entire lives.
Well that is exactly what this is.
Anytime you see a politician say something is wrong, he's sending a secret message to the lobbyists that he wants to be paid off, to lay off the issue.
Remember when the Metal heads raped and killed the entire world?
I cant believe we just barely made it out alive.
Politicians have killed more people than video games ever will.
Lets burn some mother fuckers just to watch them burn!!!!!!!!
You know, that I think about it, Mario threw fire... Holy shit! Lets eat some flowers and burn mother fuckers!
You lying piece of shit. You're a rapist, a pedophile, a murderer, and a thief. How could you play videogames and NOT be all those things?
Bingo, We have a fucking winner!

Governments represent Corporations not people.
The government will KILL every human being if it means satisfying a corporate interest.
Capitalism has always been about ripping someone off. Good luck getting people to put the actual price in advertisements and stores.
It seems like CT just wants more money. CT used to have no sales tax, and the stores did very well. Why not go back to that policy?
Interesting because the co-founder of Apple agrees with me, and not you.
Yes, you are.

Fuck off cunt.
Fair use would be allowing you to COPY your owned music back off your ipod to any computer you want. Of course you cant do that can you?
Well, now you can, thanks to hackers who liberated everyone's iPod through third party software.
Ok, lets put aside the fact that you think poor people shouldnt have any enjoyment in life.

The only problem with that is... The entire country can not simply just not use the internet.
Corproations wouldnt like that very much and of course Its simply not realistic. It will never happen.
So the false choice of "just dont use the internet, or agree to be fucked" is not really what any citizen would consider fair.
Its worth it. Vive la Revolution!
Dont forget there are some Sat services too that now provide decent bandwidth up and down.
This is correct.
Sadly it is the corporations that run the internet as well. They have had the power all along to crush the public and oppress the masses.
This will of course be the end of Youtube. You simply wont be able to upload anything. Even home movies with a copyrighted song in the background.
