Already automotive black boxes store driving histories for insurance companies to review and most now come with a remote activated kill switch.

Manchester Airport was a little weird about duty free tax when I last tried some years ago (buying Chivas Regal), saying that a flight I was taking was not long enough for this because I flew into Belgium.

| schestowitz | The Linux Foundation plays a PR role. The OIN is similarly spineless. I learned this by talking to them. I'm friends with them on LinkedIn and stuff, but I also know what they are trying to achieve. They are not the FSF. They try to appeal to some businesses that find the FSF repellent, either by playing less hostile towards patents or showing themselves to be cooperative with MSFT and Apple. Fair enough, they are still on | Oct 29 17:56 |

I don't think we can achieve much by focusing more on something that others do quite thoroughly (Groklaw didn't touch this).
