sitmop: A Waltham police officer who happened to win 100K for life lottery has been arrested by the FBI on child pr0n charges. -- (link) - Diva Mar 26, 12:13 13
- 100k per year for life but he collected 1M in 2011? - zork Mar 26, 12:35 7
  - It's a lump sum option he exercised when he won, most likely. Rather than waiting. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 26, 12:37 6
    - either that or he won $1m, not the grand prize. 100k for life is just the name of the game. -- nm - znufrii Mar 26, 12:38 5
      - yonh. -- nm - lottery winner Mar 26, 12:41
      - because if he took a $1m lump sum, he's either an idiot, or didn't expect to live more than 10 years... -- nm - znufrii Mar 26, 12:39 3

I'm not entirely sure OnStar could've unlocked her car, even if they'd wanted to, given that she wasn't a subscriber. -- (link) - znufrii Mar 26, 12:06 33
- Speaking as a car owner ... I wouldn't be comfortable with the potential for social engineering to unlock my car. - Beryllium Mar 26, 12:34 1

  - police was on scene, they were just avoiding having to break a window -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 26, 12:24
- It's not like they have to come out and do something to your car to activate the subscription, I wonder if they gave her the option of subscribing right then... -- nm - Ender Mar 26, 12:11 3
  - would it have to be activiated with the OnStar button inside the car, perhaps? -- nm - znufrii Mar 26, 12:14 1
    - Maybe. -- nm - Ender Mar 26, 13:48
  - she says her husband was the one that called, so she was relaying the info second hand. -- nm - colin Mar 26, 12:14
- How do they know it's her calling? -- nm - mara Mar 26, 12:10 7
  - The same types of questions a credit card comapny asks when you call them> -- nm - Spawn Mar 26, 12:12
  - That could be something they could coordinate with an insurance company. -- nm - Max Mar 26, 12:12 3
    - In 2-30 minutes? Or do you mean ahead of time? -- nm - mara Mar 26, 12:15 2
      - It only takes 2 minutes for me to call my insurance company and have them confirm who I am, so I'm thinking conference call. -- nm - Max Mar 26, 12:17 1
        
        Ah, I guess I'd have assumed you needed your account number or something. -- nm - mara Mar 26, 12:20

- "I'm sorry we let thieves into your car and they stole your stuff, but they *said* a baby was locked in the car" -- nm - zork Mar 26, 12:10
- I wonder if amanda can use that radio-frequency-speaker trick to unlock cars. -- nm - Max Mar 26, 12:09
- I have thought about this a lot. I really wish they had a Single Use Emegency Fee set-up. - Spawn Mar 26, 12:09 12
  - I was thinking along the same lines as well. wouldn't even need to keep a credit card on file, they can trace your VIN and send you a bill. -- nm - znufrii Mar 26, 12:10 11
    - Yeah, I guess there could be levels of charges. - Spawn Mar 26, 12:12
    - to a person who declined to pay them something voluntary in the past? -- nm - zork Mar 26, 12:11 9
      - Yeah, that was why I envisioned a set-up where they could charge your credit card immediately. -- nm - Spawn Mar 26, 12:13 4
        
        Hello, insurance company? My house is on fire. Can I get a policy now? - zork Mar 26, 12:17 3
        
        heh. Well, this does not cost them anything, so it is still a bit of win for them. -- nm - Spawn Mar 26, 12:48 2
        
        but eventually this would be the only calls they would get - zork Mar 26, 12:51 1
        
        Oh, there are people that use Onstar for calls, directions and crap. -- nm - Spawn Mar 26, 12:52
      - they declined to sign up for the service in the first place, not expecting to need it. - znufrii Mar 26, 12:12 3
        
        Zork is right. This is like insurance. You pay for the coverage. There are costs to the company to maintain the service. They need to keep your - pmb Mar 26, 12:25 1
        
        Hello, insurance company? I just sold my house and it never caught on fire. Good thing I didn't give you any money. -- nm - zork Mar 26, 12:27
        
        then everyone would decline and they would only get subscribers who actually needed it months later. - zork Mar 26, 12:14
