his break in was not the first or the last in the neighborhood. the point is that it may have been prevented had the neighborhood been aware. had this app been widespread, the perps might even have been caught. sure talking to your neighbors is fine, but the truth is thats a lot more limited nowadays and its hardly going to be anywhere near as efficient as an app like this would be, with its DB capabilities, range of issues covered, and real time presentation. the reason it isn't information overload, is that its localized in its presentation to you, whoever you happen to be and wherever you are. seeing whats happening for a 10 block radius around your home is to me, very interesting, given thats where i live. and while it may not be for you, i think a lot of people with kids will be interested to know it, just like they are for where sex offenders live. imagine being in a mall and you lose one of your kids, and you can notify everyone in the mall with the app, plus mall security, that yu ost your kid. a lot of parents would like that ability. i'm not taking anything personal, just challenging your assertion you made, which i would think would be ok to do. frankly, i don't think too many people are swayed by the "seatbelts??? who needs em!?!" argument. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & sbc (my home) / sbrec & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.2b - win xp pro sp3 ie8 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 45k+ mp3 ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82366 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
