Bell Labs Demos Cell Phone Location Software

mateub writes "AP via Yahoo reports that Bell Labs will soon announce cell phone software to reveal the owner's location to interested parties. To alleviate privacy concerns they say the software will 'let cell users be as picky as they choose about disclosing their whereabouts' but the article goes on to mention 'the ability for restaurants and other businesses to send a solicitation by text message to a cell phone when its owner wanders within range of those merchants.' Oh, wonderful, cellular popups..."

Whether you are attending a private sex party or a public club, there are some good manners that should be followed. Obviously these rules will vary for different
parties, but here are a few good rules to follow so that you don't become an unwanted guest and never get invited back again.

• 
  Don't be a sling lizard - In other words, don't get into a sling unless you have a play partner. And if slings are limited, give other people a change to use
  the sling.
• Lay down paper towels on the floor before playing to collect any spilled lubrication. You may also want to place a paper towel under the bottoms butt.
  Wipe off the play area and the bottom completely before leaving the play area. It is the tops responsibility to make sure the lube is wiped off the bottoms butt and
  that the floor and sling or table is wiped off and clean for the next person.
  
• Ask your host what the house rules are This includes where you are allowed to play and what supplies you should bring (I always bring my own lube, beverage,
  paper towels and other party supplies to private parties). At THE SLING you can bring your own lube or we sell it there. Bring your own beer if desired, we provide
  sodas, paper towels, gloves, condoms and shower. For all parties it's polite to bring your own towel in case you want to shower
• Don't just walk up to a play session and join in It's best to try to get some eye contact to see if they want you to join in. It can be very distracting to
  be in a scene and have somebody just join in especially if you don't want them there.
• Keep unnecessary conversation and noises out of the play area Try not to have regular conversations where people playing can hear you. Also, if you are a
  screaming or make loud noises during play, this may disturb other guests. Some people enjoy the loud moans and groans but many find it disturbing.
• If you move any equipment around return it to the original spot when done For example, if you raise or lower the sling, return it to where it was when you
  got there. Or if you move a table or chair, return it.
  
• Do not share lube. This can lead to the transmission of HIV and other diseases. The cans can become contaminated while playing so it's good to write you
  name on the jar of crisco or lube.
• Wash off hands and arms and dick when done playing Preferrably with an antibacterial soap.
  
• Don't walk around the party in street clothes or be a gawkerAt most play parties the guys are usually in jocks or chaps so that their butts are exposed

/. admins really need to come up with a new karma descriptor... troll and flamebait are cutting it anymore. I suggest "little mommas boy," "go wet your bed," or my favorite, "prepubescent." This is a serious post. Please take my comments into serious consideration.

Re:Great for kids

What if your kid was going to get a free and legal abortion without speaking with you about it, you checked on them, and saw they were at the clinic. I would assume that my child was being pretty responsible

If you found out your daughter was KILLING her unborn child, you would consider that being responsible? Your one sick bastard! Too bad YOUR parents were not "responsible" and had you aborted!

Yes, mod me as a troll. I don't care. I have a wonderful 2 year old baby girl and happen to think that LIFE IS SACRED and not something to be medically "aborted".

P.S. Please don't give me the crap that an unborn baby is NOT life. If we found a cell undergoing mitosis on Mars, would not EVERY scientist on Earth consider that there is life on Mars? Wouldn't the question finally be answert that we are not alone in the Universe? Then how can sick people like you say that here on Earth, it is OK to kill our own kind when they are at there most vulnerable stage in development?

You obviously speak as someone who has not had the blessing of having their own child.

Re:Great for kids

Absolutely true.

We're not talking cells here, or random DNA, choices, privacy, or science. Save that for the lab. Let's also forget about religeon here.

We're talking about humanity. We're talking about the greatest walking, thinking, talking creation known! Life is mysterious and undefinable because it is personal. Why do you love? Why do you care about your Mom, Sister or Dad? What makes superstars so attractive? Why is someone cute? Because they have a value or property that is rare, special, and intimate. This value is what makes it sacred over an animal, plant, or piece of land. An ordered person knows the value of person over things.

It is sacred because it is one's greatest gift. If someone was to take your life it would be the ultimate theft of your potential deeds, happiness, and companionship. Inside we know this, everyone has this innate sense. Show a child the act of murder and you WILL see a reaction to death that's fearful.

What is a race that kills its own child? The greatest potential a human achieves? It's cannibalism of the body. Barbarism of the value of a man or woman. If life is cheap, then you and I are worthless, expendable and ultimately simply workers to feed the rich, unsatiable, and flesh hungry.
