The Old Testament focuses on the lineage of Jesus Christ.
Uh, no it fucking doesn't. It was written hundreds of years before his birth. Only after Christ was famous, and his birth story concocted, did the lineage spelled out in the Old Testament become relevant. It's in the gospels, the New Testament, that his lineage is listed. The Old Testament is definitely NOT about Christ in any shape whatsoever.
Why can't they just chain me to my seat un-sedated and let me watch my in-flight movie? Wait, that sounds like I'm willing to trade liberty for entertainment! Hmm, well what's playing?
The Electronic Privacy Information Center, a Washington, D.C.-based advocacy group, has filed a lawsuit asking a federal judge to grant an immediate injunction pulling the plug on TSA's body scanning program. In a separate lawsuit, EPIC obtained a letter (PDF) from the Marshals Service, part of the Justice Department, and released it on Tuesday afternoon.

How is "Superman Saves Family" sensationalist? He does that so much it's not even newsworthy, like the shuttle launch or another year that' s not the year of the Linux desktop.
Um, maybe getting a license would have brought to light the problem that caused the pool to fail, like uneven ground or poor construction. I know, it's crazy, right?
Only if they blurred out their faces first and made it real grainy. Old still overhead imagery isn't exactly the same thing as real-time close-up side-view. And in any case, how are they supposed to verify zoning? Voluntary reporting?
No, I think he meant the licenses for government employees. I don't think you're allowed to use the free Google Earth if you're a government employee using it for official business. Seem to remember seeing that in the eula, but could be wrong.
At least they could be more specific. A Capped Bust dime? Seated Liberty dime? Roosevelt dime? And how much thinner? Please use fraction of 2010 Los Angeles telephone directory. Thank you.
The same thing that works for one Wal-Mart can work for 10,000 if your numbers are solid. Why do you think these corporations get so large in the first place?
Wal Mart is so successful precisely because it's business model only works on large scale. They can manage entire supply lines from China and undercut their competition. Small department stores have gone out of business when Wal Mart roles into town. This is mogness' point, that not everything scales. And Wal Mart started big, having been founded by a billionaire, Sam Walton. It didn't get its numbers solid when it was small, then grow because it could scale.
It will eventually be replaced not by one single thing but by a variety of better things, including actual human-to-human interaction.
How, by teleporting me to see my friends all over the world? If you could teleport me across the internet, I wouldn't be using the technology to idly chat with relatives and old class-mates, if you catch my drift. I'd use it go get a Monster drink everytime I need one. Like right now. Oh sweet blue Monster, how I miss you.
Orwell's fictional government never had any tools as powerful for monitoring their citizens movement as what Apple now has.
You mean the small percentage of citizens who voluntarily chose to purchase and continue to use their products. There's over 300,000,000 Americans alone, and what a couple million iPhones worldwide?
Apple opts everyone into this location sharing system.
Negative. You have to turn it on when you activate the device. You are prompted to select yes or no. It's clearly in the settings, and you can turn it on and off whenever you want.
Your initial post conflated Apple knowing your address to Apple knowing every step you take throughout your day.
I never confused them. I merely made light that you were getting upset about Apple knowing where you live when they already know that. Yes, they can also now track users throughout their day. I never denied that or confused it with their home address. Perhaps you are the one who is confused.
but we will all accept your retraction and apology any time.
I wouldn't hold your breath.
Just curious - are you actually just that bad at understanding these things
Well, I actually have an iPhone and know how it works, and you seem not to. I also work in the intelligence community (and by corollary, not for Apple), and have some familiarity with tracking people. It's hard enough figuring this stuff out for one guy. I seriously doubt Apple is going to spend the time and effort to track millions of users simultaneously and find out where they go all day. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm just skeptical.
Yeah, knucklehead, if you're stupid enough to voluntarily turn on GPS tracking and leave your phone on where you shouldn't be in the first place. That's Apple's fault you're doing the wrong thing and voluntarily allowing yourself to be tracked, right? And the GPS isn't generally accurate enough to differentiate between houses next door. And of course, they know that location would your secretary's because...

And her board said HOPA first. Then switched later to HPOA.
Or was it HOPA? I'm confused.
Or just have the USS Greeneville accidentally surface and destroy the ship. Totally plausible.

Wait, it doesn't matter if the human race lives or dies, but there's more important things to do? Like what, for example?

There's also one at the International Spy Museum in Washington DC.
It's the article. Two separate lawsuits.

And when that doesn't work, EPIC failed!

Everyone will have at least one phone?
Were you merely trying to state the obvious, or did you think that contradicted him?
How thick is it?

So he shut down Camp X-Ray on Guantanamo Bay? I must have missed that in the news.
Into which you put your Personal Identification Number Number. Whooooosh!

I actually posted a self-reply whoosh just to be funny, and slashdot of course lost it. Dammit. Yes, I know you were being ironic. Sigh.
