    I agree when you sign up for hosting whether it be shared or dedicated all that information is in the terms of service agreement. They can shut you down at anytime.

    Schools get funding from attendance so they want to better track it. It's also helps with liabilities, safety, class cutters and if kids failing was he in that class. As long as they are not tracking the kids outside school I think it's ok. As long as parents sign a waver they agree to it.

  14. Re:Should rename these Darwin Viruses on FBI Issues Android Virus Warning · · Score: 1

    A just-released Google Play store app update, as well as the company's recent acquisition of VirusTotal seem to hint that yes, Google is looking into it. Google yesterday started rolling out an update to its Google Play Store app version 3.8.17 from August was bumped to version 3.9.16 in October. The update to the phone has two parts. The first thing called App Check would apparently allow Google to inspect apps you’ve already downloaded and a second feature would warn you if an app you’re trying to install is suspicious. With the recent FBI warning to consumers about mobile malware Google is adding better security features and possibly a built in AV on its latest Android mobile OS Jelly Bean 4.1 to avoid future security issues. With Jelly Bean's design, Google hopes to defend against hacks that install viruses, along with other malware.

    I think this is great idea. When I was in europe for few years biking was most popular way get to work. I think america is a bit behind the times with this.
