theyre just gonna hold **** against you now. like all of us who take our chips out before the trucks go in the shop, forget about it. and theyre gonna try to say this and that about stuff when it comes time for them to replace something thats covered under warranty.
they can already track your location relatively accurately if you have EZ Pass, and EZ Pass can also do the math to find out if youre speeding and theyll send you a ticket in the mail - its already happening. all this stuff is ridiculous. i mean, im all for living in a little bit of a more inconvenienced society for the sake of national security, but you gotta draw the line somewhere. i dont mind being searched at an airport, or being made to wait at an airport longer before takeoff (id mention other stuff, but it doesnt seem like theyve done much else), but i dont really see the point to the other stuff - its all about big business and money. hell, NYC basically only recycles half of what they used to because the new mayor says itll save 40 million dollars a year, meanwhile the population is exploding, the environment is suffering greatly, and peoples health is going to be greatly impacted in future years, but who cares, right?...cuz the national debt is more important, right?...i really cant wait to have kids and raise them in this new "harmful environment, debt free" society we're creating. and this new "data gathering system" in new fords is just to save money for repairs and to try to con people out of warranty work. but im sure theyre just looking out for our well being
geez, ya know, i really cant wait till i drop off my truck for state inspection one day, and when i go to pick it up, they tell me that i didnt wear my seat belt 3 times last year and theyll have the tickets waiting for me with my keys at the end of the day.
ya know, anyone in the computer/technology industry will tell ya that someone somewhere will come up with a way around this - for every "act" of technological security, theres an "act" to get around it - if someone can think this up, someone else can think up a way around it; its just a shame that most of the population will be screwed by this new system.
i guess thats enough of me being annoyed for now
sorry if i ruined anyones day.
