In my Hyundai, it's only enabled when certain conditions are met, like temperature above a certain level, battery charged and only after you've driven the car for a few minutes. In addition you can manually disable it.

The main benefit I got from byuing a car featuring what Hyundai calls ISG was a lower tax on the car, as here in Denmark that is dependent on the unrealistic manufacturer reported fuel efficiency. In real life I find the effect of the start-stop system is negligible.

I own two Unicomp Customizer keyboards, I had been looking for a model M for some time and finally ordered two Unicomps. One for home and one for work. I absolutely lothe the cheap dell keyboards they provide us with and I figured even with shipping to Denmark, this is something that I spend so much time with, I want the best I can get. They are highly recommended, both as keyboards and self defence weapons :)

Submission + - Tracking people using bluetooth. (bluetoothtracking.org)

He has all the information logged to a central database and you can search it over the web. On his website it says "Some of these matches were only minutes apart. Therefore I could even calculate the approximate speed of someone moving from one location to another.". There are also some interesting statistics on his site showing traffic volume in his hometown (based on bluetooth signals) and he even lists popularity of certain Nokia phones. It's interesting to see how much information an individual can gather using old equipment. I just noticed this guy is the same guy as the one running the wired house on Icepick.com. Seems like tracking people is his thing."
