    Feature: Kill

    Is there a way, either skinning or addition to next release that there can be a Kill button (A bit like "ShowDesktop") that will fill screen with a user configurable screen - ie GPS / Screen Saver / Screen off???

    So if the cops pulled you, just flick it over to what ever is legal or off??

    yes, that would be handy. I had a cop pull me over once and i had the menu screen of MediaCar on, and the DVD button (with logo) was visable, and she was trying to be a ***** about it. But nothing happened, because she couldnt prove i was watching anything.

    I did turn my PC off, but the cop made me turn it on to check, and the menu screen was the first screen to come up. She also checked my cd drive, luckily there wasnt any movie dvds in there.

    You should have said that the DVD screen was enabled when you stopped and put on the handbrake. That should have confused her
    Never let the truth get in the way of a good story

    Check out wizmo, from grc.com.

    I have this configured as an application, and selecting that application turns the monitor off. A mouse click brings it back to life.
