Seems to me, the reason we have marked police cars is that part of their crime prevention strategy is to maintain a high degree of visibility. Were this not the case, all cars would be unmarked. This app then simply expands that visibility so you can know that big brother's little brother is watching. I am assuming most unmarked cars will not show up in this app, so that tool is still available to law enforcement. Plus, as a criminal, are you really going to trust the cell-phone-wielding masses to catch them all?
So what do we use to replace TC as a multi-platform solution for things like external drives? There are many decent products, but TC seemed to be alone as far as OpenSource tools capable of running on Windows, Linux and Mac. Suggestions?
Like others here, I was invited. I started watching their intro video with two of the least compelling and homely promotional staff ever droning on and on and ZZzzzz... By the time I woke up some time later, I had forgotten what I was doing and never went back. Perhaps they should have hired Godaddy's or Budwieser's publicists.
Until you posted it here that is and basement-dwellers everywhere scurried off to launch their own versions. Now a new problem... searching all the competing mentor finders. Now if only someone built a meta-search to search them all...
It is well worth the read to check out http://www.unixguru.com. Apparently similar ownership can be applied to anything you think about while working for a company, nevermind produce. Any more stories like this?
I can sympathize with advertisers desperately trying to reach their audience more effectively, but it is annoying. With more and more sites devoted to displaying advertising for the pleasure of you the viewer, it is getting out of hand. Some sites are so bad for popup ads that you get the feeling you stumbled into a porn site. Now i notice that Mozilla and Opera browsers both ad the ability to disable popups by removing the window.open() javascript method. My question is, how long before browsers support the ability to maintain a list of domains from which it will not request offsite content? I can see ads.aol.com among others going in that list, saving users the load time and ISPs the bandwidth. I would PAY for a browser that did that. Kinda makes you wonder what advertiser with expensive lawyers would do.

Takes me back to the Vista launch ads as the only word that comes to mind is "Wow".
