There is an app called LBE security (or something simmilar, search for LBE), where you can give/take away permissions, and you can have the app prompt for some permissions ona per-use basis.
So, if angry birds wants location info, you get a pop-up, choose Don't allow (because it doesnt need it), mark 'remember', and continue playing.
The bigger question is, what data does the aplication itself send around, since it requires a rooted phone.
Have a scaled-down copy of the production network in a lab, with all the same settings (like VTP domain etc.), test weird things (like it's normally done in a lab enviroment), and get the rev. number up high.
Then some piece of production equipment fails, (let's say a switch), and why not take one (basically the same one) from the lab? The lab can wait for the replacement, production usually can not. Then plug the switch to the production network, and puff, there go the vlans!
*You can use quagga and it will work as a BGP router, if your (private) network uses BGP.
**If you want to use it as a core router: that's why I wrote "pretty much" before "anything"... But still, you can connect it as a core router... it would be interesting to see how long will it stay online, and how many routes can it recieve before it crashes:)
They don't have standing, as they do not hold any copyrights over that code
Why would they need it? If you go to the shop and buy, for example, a media/dvd/etc. player, which uses GPL code, you're entitled to get the source to the program. If the company doesnt give you the source, you could sue. Or can anyone prove me otherwise?
If we study really small currents, and develop the technology around it, and bring the "normal" currents (~mA) down (to ~uA), a battery that today lasts 1 day (smartphone under heavy use), will last a 1000 times more (3 years).
Of course, this is true for logical circuits, etc... power used for example for (back)lightning can be brought down only by some level (not even close to uA), where we get close to 100% power->light output.
Google for "tesla energy transfer atmosphere" or "tesla atmosphere energy" (he said he knew how to collect energy from the atmosphere, and how to transfer it through it.... of course noone listenede, noone believed, and noone wanted to sponsor it.... and of course: "if there are no wires, where are you going to put the elecitrc counters?")
Reading the comments, I saw two problems:
1: who can brick it
2: is it really stolen or just sold?
The best solution would be to track ownership online, and that every owner can (temporarily) brick and unbrick his device whenever he wants.
The second problem is dealing with reselling... This could be solved by using a two-part code. The seller would get a "sellers code" from amazon (apple,...), which he would give to the buyer at the time of selling (or even post it on the ebay page). The buyer would have to register the device in his name (as he has to do now), but the device wouldn't work without the sellers code. After the registration and entering the code, the new owner (only him) could un/brick the device whenever he wanted.
There are a couple of image mirrors, but for "just in case", I've made another one. Please don't hotlink (my upload speed is limited too) and/or abuse, thank you.
AFAIK Truecrypt can use a 'normal' file as a key. So you can actually use a 700mb file as a key. So..
1) Burn 700mb of random data on the cd
2) make a HUGE scratch (just one) that destroys the foil on the cd
3) put the cd in a spindle with other cd's and something that could've caused that scratch in between (metal shaving, etc)
4) ???
5) profit
Recovering full 700mb should be hard enough for them too. especially with random data, where they cannot predict the missing data. And with a file so large, the 'missing' part will be large enough to make brute-forcing useless.
Oh yeah, and for national calls, for 15eur/month I get 1000minutes in the same network, 200 for other networks, 1000sms. or mms, and 1gb of data transfer.
EU has pressed down on mobile companies, so prices have an upper limit. For example my carrier (mobitel slovenia) has a price of 0.132eur (13.2 cents) for sms, 0.516eur (51.6cents) for 1 minute of a call, all across EU. It is a bit more expensive then a national call, but still reasonable.

If Ubuntu can do it, so can you!
Tip: try searching for "linux" on ubuntu.com

Marconi lost his patent. Sadly, Tesla was already dead by then.
Of course they did...

VTP servers also accept configuration from other VTP servers, so they act as clients too.
Easy!

Nope...
There's no was Apple could do something like this...
Yes you can(*)(**) :)

RouterStation Pro has everything:
:))
-gigE
-mini pci slot for wifi cards
-enough ram for pretty much anything
(some assembly required
I do not work for them, and am not payed by them, just a happy user

fist link i found and there are more
Oh yes... and of course, the buyer should be able to verify the sellers code prior to paying.
