      no not paranoid.. just know my privacy isn't really private.


      i also used to call onstar to have them unlock my doors. i have a SVM with manual locks. But it IS what they advertise on tv, and it is what the dealership use to "sell" me on onstar, not that i could buy a car without it.. but they were like its great, it do this and that...

      I saw that as a double header with Airplane ( I think I was 12). What an awesome movie! Normburns has my respect by bringing up a KFM reference. Now we can tie that with Grovetube we would be set.
      Please do not power off, firmware update pending.....

      No, I just find it funny that the guy in the first article acted like it was a big secret that the government can hack into Onstar and eavesdrop on anyone with that unit in their vehicle. And even if you didn't have it, they could just go & throw a good old GPS tracking system on the car & bug it, like in the second article.

      Just saying, if you think you'll get 100% privacy these days, you are crazy! Rabbit has it right about the privacy thing. And some people accept that, while others... others go on a paranoid rampage. There are better ways to take care of it rather than cry that your rights are being violated. You could do your damnedest to have a 110% private conversation with someone instead. But even a face to face could have people listening to the conversation that you didn't want to. And I accept that. Not really much I can do about it. I only posted this article, because I almost died laughing at what I believe to be stating the obvious. And to me, the guy comes off as an idiot.
