Don't knock Brit gov

It's too early to knock the Brit government, yet. After all, they are now planning to fit every car in the UK with a black box that will satellite track every driver, all of the time.

Just think, they may even decide to use FOSS in all of those black boxes.

Nah, on second thought, the whole scheme sounds better suited to M$ than to FOSS. Go ahead and can the war-mongering cretins.
