  1. Re:Tracking Devices and the Fourth Amendment on Police Secretly Planting GPS Devices On Cars · · Score: 1
    And I fully expect people to be able to see where I am. However, this states nothing about the car actually tracking you. A person should be able to have the expectation that a car,

    because its function is transportation

    will not be tracking where he is for the police to know. Of course

    A car has little capacity for escaping public scrutiny

    but should not be telling anyone who hasn't seen it directly where its driver's been.

    I think I have a reasonable expectation of privacy in that my own car won't track where I'm going.

    Are you talking about a death for a death? So if a man kills a wife and 2 children the law should make the husband kill the murderer's family? Or are you attempting to kill him thrice?

    Wow you're an ass. You just said that for the sake of starting an argument. Do you really think for one moment he actually believes that a triple murderer should be killed thrice or have his family killed? Put a little thought into your arguments, or go back into your mom's comfy basement, safe from reality.

    Because it is irrelevant. It has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion, and yet he decided to post it anyway, just out of spite. Maybe troll instead, but still.

    It says something pretty sad about the phone system that CID even can be spoofed, doesn't it? How crappy are the phone company's systems that you can insert random data into communications between the phone company and the person being called? It can't be that hard to just cut off sound while CID is being sent.

    Even better: My father thinks that the GPS receiver actually makes a transmission to the satellite, and that the 'guvmint' is monitoring these transmissions. (His paranoia would probably make him a good /.er, actually...)

    but where is the incentive for the producers of these products to support Linux if the open source community "makes it work" for them for free?

    True, but these things are necessary. Thank god for ndiswrapper, that the $600 computer I just bought isn't a $600 brick.

    For all you pedantic idiots out there (may you saponify in your grammatically-correct graves), I know that it isn't _truly_ a brick -- it turns on -- but I couldn't use it without Wifi and I wouldn't use it with Windows.

    Oh shit, I'm sorry for my dumbass sarcastic remark. My tongue can be a bit sharper at times than I'd like. I had a brain fart -- I think my problem had something to do with either the fact that I deleted the EFI partition or that I left the disk with a GUID partition table. Not sure which, but it was my own stupid fault.
