  1. Re:Took them long enough on Google Begins Blurring Faces In Street View · · Score: 1

    Why the concern, that there bluring or that they have recognition software? In the US at least, You don't have the right to privacy in a public venue such as the street in this sense, I can snap pictures of people all day long in a public place and there is nothing they can due about it. It's how I use the pics that can be an issue, but even then only partly.

  2. Re:Voting is a serious activity on ACLU of Ohio Sues To Block Paper Ballots · · Score: 1

    Not to wrong, There are 10's of millions of absentee ballots cast in almost every election held and yet this issue is not brought up and you know full well that many of those are discounted because of the issues the Ohio ACLU is trying to force upon Cuyahoga County. Why don't they bitch about those "disenfranchised" voters?
    hmmm?

    That's completely obvious, but has still has no bearing to what I pointed out, my comment pointed out an item that affects "all" users even paying customers.

    That has absolutely nothing to do with my comment, I was simply pointing out another gotcha that further shows how bad it could be. Though many hosting services have such heavy handed agreements.

    Well anyone that has a credit card for ANY length of time would know that it is only common for them (banks, etc...) to list the last 4 numbers as it is still next to impossible to pick up the rest of the card number.

  18. EVDO not that great on Verizon Pulling Plug on Free Wi-Fi in NYC · · Score: 3, Informative

    I work for a municipality in the Tampabay FL area. We are rolling out quite a few EVDO installs,
    and "per Verizon" we are one of their Bigger customers in this market.
    The area I'm in is "Very heavily covered" (per Verizon) for EVDO access which is the broadband side,
    and you automatically flip-dlop between that and the 1xRTT which is the "National Access" part of the system.
    The EVDO if your lucky gets you anywhere from 350 to 768kbps (Don't use the Venturi Client)
    while the 1xRTT drops you to 28,8 to 76kbps.
    For an area that is "Heavily covered" I have had nothing but trouble staying in the EVDO side consistently.
    However, If you need decent wireless connectivity because your on the road allot working from your car it
    is better than nothing. Just a little steep on the price for the quality of the service.
    I think that Verizon got a little ahead of themselves as they did when they first rolled out their DSL years ago.
    I had to teach their engineers how to configure that for this area as well, not to mention teach the linemen
    that bridge taps are bad as is fiber for DSL, but I digress

    I don't see the issue. the employer has a right to check your background for criminal activity. No?

  25. You forget ... on 25,000-Ton Amphibious Spam Relay · · Score: 2, Informative
    The one important point of Spamming, many (majority) are spoofed, as in entire headers.
    We get 20k to 30k per day where I work, that's pieces of spam not bytes.

    Of that I successfully filter 75%, only because when I had it down to 99% success rate people bitched that they were not getting enough mail. Go figure!
    I have personally analyzed well over half a million spam messages over the last 8 months and have found less than 5% that were not spoofed.
