The Volt does NOT have an internal combustion engine, so how is it that the volt is "started" at all, let alone remotely?
Since electric motors can't be "started", What exactly is this "iPhone app" starting?
Well, the FSLA has a specific non-management specification that applied to a large percentage of slashdot readers (such as myself): The computer professionals exemption mainly applies to computer systems analysts, computer programmers, software engineers and software developers whose primary duties consist of some combination of design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing or modification of computer systems and programs, and who earn at least $455 per week on a salaried basis. It does not pertain to help desk workers or to employees involved in the manufacture or repair of computer hardware.
>> Soldiers have signed up to fight and possibly dye
>> it's civilians who seem to do much of the dying.
What are soldier going to be dyed purple or something now?
And civilians, are they to be dyed red?

I am a gamer and prefer unix/solaris/linux/(anything else) to windows. I spend all day working in a Solaris Environment and use my Windows based corporate laptop mostly as an X-Terminal (using Exceed), browsing, eclipse (WebSphere, MQ Broker), corporate Exchange (outlook) e-mail and requisite MS word, excel and powerpoint attachments. I am a Power computer user, regardless of OS (*nix AND Windows)!!!
Oh -- I also have s PS3 at home. I use it to watch Blu-Ray movies and run Yellow Dog linux (& perhaps an occasional game of MotorStorm)...
I also have many friends that fall into the same category!!
We know windows is most definitely the inferior O/S for everything else other than games. Unfortunately, for gaming, windows is "better" since a **lot** of games just are not available for other platforms (such as linux), so we are forced to keep a Windows partition around for gaming purposes.

How does "ponying up $40K for a Volt" have anything even remotely to do with Remote starting your car?
