Isn't that the truth. Even the Interstates are bone-jarring.
btt
thanks for the heads-up, elk!
I'll be turning the cell phone off if this ever gets to Texas.
Be careful out there.
Until they make them illegal to drive!
Is Jim Rob simply a FRONT for finding and IDing patriots and their ilk?
Suck 'em in for 8 years to make feel 'safe' and then round 'em up?
I didn't list my guns.
If it gets to that point, the new revolution will be on!
I could clean out some room here if you want to get rid of the GT-6 or the Willys.
And just the other day, my mother was castigating me loudly for getting rid of my cell phone.
She had no idea why I wouldn't have one. As if a legal marketer needs to be available 24/7 . . . in case a legal marketing emergency arises, I guess.
I'm not aware of RFID memory cards- for what?
What do you use them in?
Here is a clip from a cell provider about privacy. It says they won't share personal information, but if they strip the personal information from their datastream, it's not personal- it's just a cell ID ping.
There really is nothing personal about a cell ping itself, it's the carrier database that links it to who you are.
This is nothing like the British programme to use a computer camera on your auto license tag to track your car- it uses a big linked database and an OCR to read your plate and record the time.
Your Privacy
We have a duty under federal law to protect the confidentiality of information about the quantity, technical configuration, type, destination, and amount of your use of our service, together with similar information on your bills. (This doesn't include your name, address, and wireless phone number.)
Except as provided in this agreement, we won't intentionally share personal information about you without your permission. We may use and share information about you:
(a) so we can provide our goods or services;
(b) so others can provide goods or services to us, or to you on our behalf;
(c) so we or our affiliates can communicate with you about goods or services related to the ones you already receive (although you can call us any time if you don't want us to do this);
(d) to protect ourselves; or
(e) as required by law, legal process, or exigent circumstances.
In addition, you've authorized us to investigate your credit history at any time and to share credit information about you with credit reporting agencies. If you ask, we'll tell you the name and address of any credit agency that gives us a credit report about you.
It's illegal for unauthorized people to intercept your calls, but such interceptions can occur. For training or quality assurance, we may also monitor or record our calls with you.
Having a cell phone means that you transmit stuff all day, usually without being aware. I dislike it and am careful of what I do with a phone.
I still pick up baby monitors on the scanner in the truck if I don't restrict the scan freqs- I'm pretty sure the folks who have them are unaware they are transmitting audio from their homes.
Like most cellphone owners are unaware of how they work and that they frequently send pings to towers and recieve digital data (like software reconfigurations) from the carrier.
I don't think you can expect privacy when you are broadcasting.
Last month the phone company sent me a new card for my phone. I don't remember all the benefits they claimed but determining my location was one 'safety feature'. All I had to do was install the new card and the police would be able to locate me if I ever called 911 and asked for help.
I figure that since I don't drink enough to get drunk I alwasys know where I am. I'll keep the card in the drawer.
You got GUNS?!?!?!
(Agent 26: get this dude's IP and track him down: soon!)
