It's pretty trivial on BeOS or vaguely recent versions of OS X to create a smart folder that contains files (optionally only of a specific type) that have been recently modified.
BeOS? I know we're big on edge cases here at Slashdot but BeOS?
They change show's time slots, both time and day, break seasons up into at least 2 widely spaced parts, pop up insanely large and distracting station identifiers, alter show start times slightly so poorly designed DVRs miss the beginning or the end. In general, they seem to *want* people to download shows or watch them through another medium. I find it incomprehensible.
Man. The hate. I know Fox canceled 'Firefly', but that was years ago.
I'm sure law enforcement, with the ten minutes a month they don't spend trying to hunt down people with insignificant personal quantities of marijuana, will set up a checkpoint so they can check the serial numbers of every TomTom looking for that bastard with serial #93824920535326469 who went 5 miles over the speed limit last week at 4am.
But your missing the point. Sure, the Police are unlikely to target you, anonymous peon in the great game, with any sort of energy. However, when you suddenly decide to clamp on the tinfoil hat even tighter, put on your secret decoder ring and start on your plan to become Master of the Universe, THEN they will quietly talk to the seedy looking guy in the basement of the PD, the guy with all the blinking electronic gizmos and computers that have login screens with 100 point type (and an FBI badge). He will quickly decrypt each and every password you've ever had, hack into several databases that describe your previous life as a female KGB agent and de anonymize your data from Tom-Tom, Netflix and the local grocery rewards card.
Most people are perfectly capable of controlling their vehicle and allowing sufficient space beyond the ridiculously low limits.
Where do you live? MOST places I've driven, the only safe speed would be zero. Really, there are enormous numbers of drivers who have fundamental issues with parking lots, much less the actual roadway.
With the what's been in the news in the past few years about Chinese manufactoring I would personally like to see some kind of oversight comittee on this project if they're going to be allowed to put a thousand pounds of "Grade A Chinese Steel" a few hundred miles above my head.
(As in not user friendly) And yes, even if you do "advanced mode clickbox," people will shitfit and complain to remove it because of privacy concerns, and/or older people will get scared and want it gone due to information overload.
OK then, make a "Super Advanced" mode clickbox with pulsating red graphics and a low, 60 Hz rumble for a sound effect.

Not a problem, just felt like being Pedantic, this being Sunday and all.
If you notice any spare
tags, you might want to recycle those. You seem to be down a few.

Fireplace!
Keeps me warm and annoys the neighbors!
And next month (when this all happens again):
Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked.
Among self-contained radios as small as a Wave music system, can you recommend one with better lows?
Just tune to pretty much any Country / Western channel. That'll bring you down.
Down there?
Have either of you considered going outside? Maybe just for a bit?
It was probably the Vegemite. You can blame pretty much anything on Vegemite.
Because 95% of the world's population lives outside of the USA?
We are the ones that are supposed to be consuming. Everybody else is supposed to work. That's what they told me anyway.

Let it rest, already.
Television content today is increasingly targeting dumb viewers.
Right. Hogan's Heros. Gilligan's Island. The A-Team. Fantasy Island.
Monday Night Football. NASCAR Racing.
The pinnacle of Western Civilization. Them's some strong rose colored glasses you got on there son.
Indeed, it's the universal solvent. Pretty dangerous stuff.
Think of the Children!
I guess I'm still stuck in Commodore 64 World, or something..
Cassette tapes? I'm so very sorry.
Time to hack AT&T into the ground.
Yes! Everybody go out and buy some more iPhones!
Oh, wait.
I think you got whooshed there....

Then you're hosed.
Gotta think ahead.

You're still breathing? Not sure I could get away with that...
Well, he apparently got his UID kicked out of him. Sounds like he's in a pretty bad way.
And I'm going to trust them with important stuff? Not likely.
In certain circles, MobileMe is known as Mobile MeaCulpa. Maybe they're going to use the iCloud domain to 'start anew'.
Again.
Hi! We're from the Government. We're here to help you.

Orbital Mechanics. Newton's got you covered. Now, calm down.
I can sum up why in 2 words:
It's complicated.

Many Bothans died to bring us this information.
Some hot glue in the USB holes works wonders on other "secure" systems.
Probably would work fairly well for the 'between-the-ears' airgap as well. Worth a try anyway.
