  1. Yes you are under contract, which is a month to month contract you can cancel your plan anytime, Verizon can cancel you plan at the end of each month to month contract. You should read your contract.

  2. Privacy Fees on FCC Proposal: Internet Providers Must Ask To Share Your Data (foxnews.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Well if the ISP were smart they would come up with a fee, the amount they get from selling the data, and then change that fee to customer that don't want to share their data.

    Simple win win for everyone. We know their business model is not so great, but it is currently part of the income they make, to prevent ISP resistance to this proposal they just enable a fee, I know I would be happy to pay a little more for my privacy. Similar to how I will pay for a phone app that doesn't collect/have ads/etc instead of use a free one with data collection/ads/etc.

    I agree Hydro is renewable, and so Oil and Gas are renewable also, just takes millions of years to renew, instead of weeks or years, or decades to fill back up the emptying reservoirs.

  7. How to detect a GN7 verses other similar phones on FAA May Ban Galaxy Note 7 On Flights Due To Exploding Batteries (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    There is no way they can Ban them and actually implement this since they would have to train employees on how to detect a GN7 vs any other phone. The TSA can't even keep bad things from getting through security, let alone airline employees knowing anything.

    Hell they can't even keep people from making calls during take off and landing.

    You are correct to a point. Cleaning up is a good thing to do before decommissioning a server, but doing that after a subpoena for those emails is called destruction of evidence.

    There is a difference, They talk about email that were sent to Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice and didn't have any classified markings, Not that they sent classified emails. Big difference in that Hillary send Classified documents that had classified markings in them.

    This is blatant trying to say someone else did it also, when the facts are different.

  15. Re:I wonder if they'll cancel Petraeus's sentence on DOJ Will Not File Charges Against Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (politico.com) · · Score: 1

    Hillery gave all her emails to her attorney with some of that being Special Access, higher than Top Secret which was classified at that time of the email being sent, I think that shows she did that willfully.

    The FBI is not supposed to make recommendations on the indictment or prosecution of someone, they are supposed to provide the facts and just the facts to the Department of Justice. The FBI over stepped their bounds and the DOJ is not doing their job in indicting Hillery for the breach of law, 18 U.S. Code 793 (f) clearly was violated.

  16. Further more she gave those Top Secret/Special Access documents to here attorneys willfully.

  17. Re:Protest in the streets on DOJ Will Not File Charges Against Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (politico.com) · · Score: 1

    So you are saying she didn't willfully give it to her Attorneys to sort through public vs. private.

    I think she did willfully give that info to others(i.e. her attorneys) that were not cleared for Top Secret Compartmentalized info.

    This sounds just like more advertising capabilities.

    How is being able to send small snippets of information (ADS) to other bluetooth devices even though they are not paired or connected to one another not advertising.

    Crap now if I get a Bluetooth 5 device I am going to have to turn it off, sounds like a very useful tech for advertisers not customers. But as we all know we are not the customer when we buy something these days.

    Pretty easy, you are the first party, the government is the second party, the phone company is the third party.

  22. Re: Was he under oath? on FBI Director Says Unlocking Method Won't Work On Newer iPhones (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    Well the iPhone case didn't violate the San Bernardino persons rights, since it was the employers phone and the employer gave consent to search the phone. It may/may not have violated Apples rights under the constitution, but since they pulled the case it has not been ruled upon.

    Second If you use a Stingray to intercept the call you would not be violating the robbers 4th Amendment rights, since there is probably cause. What you would be doing in violating everyone one else's rights who's cell phone connects to the Stingray and their data is captured, this is where the constitution comes into play with being secure in ones papers. Although a cell phone is not paper and could be ruled differently depending on the courts, but I would consider it as violating everyone else's rights.

    IANAL.

    I have seen sales people raked over the coals, when that happens in the company I work for concessions are given to the customer and the sales team that sold that gets to deal with the loss in revenue because of their mistake, it comes out of the district budget and is applied against the sales person, second time they have to deal with concessions bye bye.

    Very few companies are like that but I do enjoy working for the company that is ethical and proud of it.

  25. Re:H-1B? on Hertz Had Sheriffs On Hand the Day It Cut IT (computerworld.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You really missed the loophole. If they were to directly replace them with H1-B that would be illegal. But they contracted a third party to now do the IT work, so those positions no longer exist, and the company gets away with it. Since Hertz is not hiring for those positions.

    This is the main problem with H1-B is that there is this large loophole they can all run through.
