They should be streaming their content on the net. I listen to net radio all day, even for my local stations.
 
And if they streamed it, I could rip your show for listening at a reasonable hour.

Just about every one. If the teaching job has me out of town then they do a "best of" show.

Great, when I get a new car, I'll have to take some tinfoil off my hat and wrap it around the fob.

1. Do the door locks work with the key FOB?
2. Are these all factory installed remote start systems, or are some/all of them after market add ons?

I'm wondering if the shopping carts or the aisles have some sort of built-in RFID tech to either track the carts when people steal them or to run digital ads in the cart as you push them down the aisle. Hm, maybe it's just the items in the cart that the store is trying to track with RFID transponders. Push button ignitions use RFID (really, a shorter range proximately card) to figure out that you are approaching your car.

No, in fact a lot of the people can't get into their cars at all.

Factory systems.
