The real problem is that these people also aren't interested in running windows update, patching their systems, or doing many other things that "good internet users" ought to be doing.
Maybe if it became a felony to have your machine automatically infect another machine with a virus, people would start wanting broadband access.:D
That's the problem with speed limits to begin with. On highways and outside of residential areas, "Sane/reasonable" is a good way to deal with speed limits for the most part -- e.g. a 20 year old car with a blown cyl (yes.. people drive with burnt out cyls all the time) and no suspension travel left is less likely to travel safely at 65mph while a brand new car might be stable on flat roads at speeds in excess of 100mph. The problem is the few jackasses would ruin that for the whole. Montana did it for quite awhile without major concern, the only reason they changed it was because the federal government threatened to revoke their highway funding if they didn't comply with its will.
I think speed limits should be defined by the engineers building the fucking cars, not by crackpot officials who stand something to gain by lowering limits and increasing fines. But that's me. If a car is swerving all over the road and unstable, it's obvious. Many, many police cars have on board cameras these days. If a cop sees it, and it gets recorded, pull them over and fine them up the ass.
In reality, people will always ignore speed limits when possible and drive whatever speed their vehicle feels comfortable at driving given conditions. From experience, I can tell you that driving across I-94 in North Dakota and eastern Montana is boring enough to warrant speeds in excess of 120mph.:)
It raises an important question, I think: are keyloggers wiretapping devices? They don't involve telecommunications lines directly, so can they be considered in the same class?
The Hitachi G1000. I own one, and if you only use it sparingly, which you would have to do with a Zaurus to get it to live 3 days, it'll last just as long. It also has access to sprint's data network, and unlimited data service isin't too pricey. It's a Pocket PC 2002 device, so it's not the latest and greatest for OS choices, but there is a lot of great software for the device, including SSH clients and NES emulators, so long as you have some money and don't mind 300ms latency for data.:)
You would think, being as it's VERY simple to split oxygen and hydrogen, that someone would eventually build a giant solar array in the middle of the ocean, being as salt makes a good catalyst... but no.:)

It was actually called N-TEN-DO, which is why so many geeks still run windows calling it "wintendo". ;)

According to this politech posting by bernieS, it appears that the feds are going to be doing a little bit of double backing.

Some food for thought.
But, sadly, they see your nickname and think 'flaccid'.

we both know your silhouette wouldn't fit in one camera lense?

Wouldn't it just be easier to require them to have the ability to have such a device securely attached for repeat offenders? ...
Oh, sorry. I didn't realize we wern't trying to make sense.

It's to get them back for Celine Dion. Shhh.
I have a Hitachi G1000.. and I think it's pretty geeky? :) Nothing like IRCing from the shitter anywhere you go!
I am very amused this turned into a micro-flamewar while I was gone. I already knew it was owned by the same folks who do 7up. :)
I still prefer the taste of Dr. Pepper.

No, they're just working with greenpeace.
Let's see how badly I loose karma.
Anything you can do with sendmail you can do in exim in a way that is human readable and does not require a configuration preprocessor. :)
Well.. it does lead to more jobs, for people who are into that kind of thing.

How long has it been since you've seen a rotary telephone in use?
I use a t-mobile sidekick. Sure, it's a peice of shit that falls apart, but it lets me use AIM and browse slashdot. www.hiptop.com =)
Too bad two-kernel-monte can't somehow keep the uptime accurate..
Whee..
Wait, still too broad.

Otherwise, uh.. you'd be finding alot of keys.
