What Ignorant Masses? Maybe "Paranoid Coward" or "Captain Imagination" is a better name for you.

I've been admin of various BES boxes for many years, including my own personal BES at home. I've seen ways to remotely shut down/lock/erase blackberries but I've never discovered a way to remotely turn on a phone that's already off in someone's pocket. Interesting. I wonder why the battery doesn't die on these turned-off phones in everyone's pocket since of course they must still be awake ("on") enough to receive the mysterious remote-on signal that you're talking about?

Lies. All lies, plain and simple. To what end? What benefit do you gain from trying to spread this BS?

Dear citizens of St Petersburg,

Should you be killed or injured by any icicles this December, you may not claim to be part of the record-setting numbers.
That is all.

Too bad they don't get paid like NFL players do though. My high school gym teacher was an active player on the Tiger Cats, and I don't think it was because he loved to teach. (even if he did)

Dear Slashdot,

GET STUFFED! (5:50)

Happy Thanksgiving, USA.

I'd go buy a joystick for my PC if this happened. A game pad just wouldn't cut it.

That, or you could just start at http://free.avg.com/ which does include attention-grabbing links for the paid version but also very clear and easy-to-find links to the free version.

No, you can't.

Oh wait, yes you can. You can blame them for being ignorant of how to properly operate the tool that they're trying to use.

If someone went out and purchased a brand new precision lathe, brought it home and managed to lose a finger while taking it for its first spin, we'd blame them for being ignorant of how to use that tool. To keep with /. tradition, if someone bought a new car and smashed it up 100m from the dealership and it was found that they didn't have a license and had never driven a car before - they would absolutely be blamed for being ignorant of how to use the car (tool).

So why are we supposed to give them a pass when they don't know how to use their computer, which is essentially just another tool?

I don't need Google to tell me to not like Facebook.

That's ok, we'll be mining "Rare Moon Elements" anyway.

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill;
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose freewill.

-Rush, "Freewill"

At least cite your source!

Am I way off?

...on a screen that would be mounted above the dashboard...

This seems to me that it wouldn't be part of your windshield at all.

And here I thought you were talking about the Commonwealth Games!

Although I'm sure that the Delhi bomb squad folks are having some sleepless nights, they probably won't win any medals.

I'm sure that you're kidding, but you do know that Shatner didn't ever have a snowball's chance of even getting on the short list, let alone a serious consideration for the job, right?

Nerd Cred + International Respectability as a sovereign nation don't necessarily go hand in hand.
