Thought I had replied to this but i don't see it here anymore...

Sorry, no. As much as we're not fans of the Light-O-Rama software (lots of interface quirks, costly upgrades) there really isn't a lot of options out there, and none of it is any better.

I'm pretty opposed to charging for software that is specifically for proprietary hardware anyway... so.. meh. Moving on.

I can't begin to express how much I hope these reviews are accurate.... After the mess that was DX2... I'm *very* skeptical...

Great, isn't it? I don't know why they charge so much for the other account options... "Free" vs "Arm & Leg" makes it hard to want to upgrade.

NY Court Says Police Can't Track Suspect With GPS 414

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday May 12 2009, @12:48PM
from the when-a-cop-slaps-you-on-the-back-check-your-back dept.

SoundGuyNoise sends in a story that brings into relief just how unsettled is the question of whether police can use GPS to track suspects without a warrant. Just a couple of days ago a Wisconsin appeals court ruled that such tracking is OK; and today an appeals court in New York reached the opposite conclusion. "It was wrong for a police investigator to slap a GPS tracking device under a defendant's van to track his movements, the state's top court ruled today. A sharply divided NY Court of Appeals, in a 4-3 decision, reversed the burglary conviction of defendant Scott Weaver, 41, of Watervliet. Four years ago, State Police tracked Weaver over 65 days in connection with the burglary investigation."
