Are you required to put your home address in to install Itunes? Or just to purchase. Then it's your choice.
I'm required to give them my credit card info, including billing address (just like everywhere else) in order to register iTunes and use the phone. You can't use the phone without giving this up.
So they can sell this information to companies that want to sell you things. It's called targeted advertising.
OMG, I'll no longer see ads that don't pertain to me! Wait, why is that horrible again?
Apple are barely permitted to even look at your billing information, especially from another company
Is iTunes another company? NO? So they already have my address.
even if you get a random UID each morning at about oh, 4 AM you will likely be in the same place as you were at 4 AM the previous morning making chaining a bunch of semi-randomised UID's in to a cohesive order a simple matter of SQL scripts that any retard could write.
And they would do that for millions of users, why exactly? Why would they even care about where they live? My address is out there at a hundred different places, from where I ordered vitamins, to the deed when I bought my house. My whole point, that everyone but the mods completely missed, is that information like our home address, where we work, etc, has been out there for quite some time. Let's not all act like Apple finally cracked the code to figure out where I live.
And yes, in case you read the book and were wondering, that actually is worse than anything Orwell imagined Big Brother could have in 1984.
So the government is mandating everyone to buy iPhones and making them turn on GPS tracking? Or is one company tracking users who voluntarily turn on GPS tracking really worse than anything Orwell foretold? Maybe you should take a few deep breathes yourself.
Yeah, I especially liked reading a map while driving my Jeep on the highway with no doors or windows. Sometimes, I'd drink a beer, smoke a cigarette, eat a cheezburger and shift all at the same time too. Fun times, fun times.
Um, they already know where I live. That would be the address where my phone bill arrives. It's also the billing address of the credit card I used to sign up with iTunes. But holy shit, now they know the same thing with GPS! It's like 1984 or something! AAAGGHHHH!!!

Failure would be a nuclear weapon detonating in downtown Manhattan, DC, or whereever your loved ones are. Al Qaeda has the weapons-grade Uranium (not very hard to get), and have been working on assembling a weapon. There are actual threats out there we have been fighting, and not just trampling innocent people's rights because we think it's fun.
First of all, OKC bombing had numerous ties to Iraq and Al Qaeda. A simple Google search will turn up many. the 93 WTC attack (which you conveniently ingored) also had ties to Iraq and Al Qeada. The 98 Embassy attacks were technically on US soil. You know, the ones where Al Qaeda took credit for it and said they attacked because of our actions against Iraq (somehow the entire fucking US had amnesia about this). In any case, bin Laden himself said that the attacks overseas weren't getting the message across, and he needed a massive attack on US soil.

And the lock on my front door won't keep out everyone. I guess I should just give up and leave my door unlocked.
That's the point. Drivers claimed that the accelerator stuck and the brake didn't work. So unless putting it in neutral magically made the brake work, this is only a partial solution at best.
Cause, I don't know, there might be something in the next 500 yards before the car stops, like a traffic light, a sharp turn, a pedestrian, another vehicle merging in your lane, etc etc etc. Have you never needed to stop suddenly, or do you always just let your car gradually drift to a stop?
Dude, mistaking 'imply' for 'infer' is not the same as sucking at English.
Nor does it help back your claim that you're good at it. And beginning a sentence with a conjunction is common usage outside of English majors; it does not mean I suck more.
Your first post did not indicate you understood the meaning of the phrase. You also ended a sentence in a preposition. I stand by my comment.
"While Bill and other lab rats complete the maze quickly, Ted does not."
Yes, Ted is a rat in that sentence. If that's not what you meant, you phrased it improperly.
One would quite easily and naturally imply that Ted is a lab rat.
No, one would infer. Is English your first language? I mean, if it's not, that's cool, and I'd be willing to give you a break and all. But you suck at it if it's your first.
Yeah, my guess is that the person who was running this moved on to something else, left the company, etc, and no one took ownership of it after he left. Meanwhile, those higher up are more concerned with making money, not giving away money.
why not ditch the unimportant and stalled competition in favour of putting the money into the pressing problems?
The problem isn't that they've given out the money to the wrong people, it's that they haven't given it out at all, and they've stopped answering questions or discussing it. It's like Google has completely forgotten about the project.
Try reading for comprehension. The verb is advance. The problems advance, but the Google project does not advance. Read it again. He is not saying they are both problems.
I guess I'll be the asshole to point out that if you're going to make a bad pun about intelligence (knowledge of enemy vs intellect), it helps to spell intelligence correctly. Working in the intelligence community myself, I can't stand these jokes to being with anyway.

And why would the the care about that again? Why would they correlate all that stuff for millions of users on a daily basis? For kicks?

Does putting it in neutral make the brake work too? I didn't think it worked that way.
The shut down is in fact often more than 50 years after it was started up.
How many nuclear power plants were built pre-1960 that are still running?
