    There is no denying India's contribution to world culture, the "Kama Sutra." And there is the Taj Mahal. Look! I still have more than enough fingers to hold a cup of coffee!

    The only thing interesting about Dark Money is the day AFTER they just go away. Of course there's the game show Dark Money vs. Ex-Cons, "It's For the Children"; when it reaches Pay-Per-View, I'll watch it. I hear it has a lot of drama.

    I'm still trying to wrap my head around why India needs a stealth anything. If India wants to dominate the country side, start teaching reading, writing, and 'rithmatic to all children in the region, just not to the geniuses that can parrot vocational engineering. Here's an eye opener, listen to one of the over one million H1B's rolling around the U.S. talk about anything other that their professional field. One can hear the telling silence.

    1. The subject is about children. Why are the Dark Money types standing in the shadows transmitting commands? Why does dark money hide from children?

    2. Is there anything about computers or their use in the parent?

    If you've own a vehicle already you will still own it tomarrow. But when you replace the vehicle, then you will shop around. Whom ever offers the best deal will get your money. As Fuel Cell vehicles become cheaper then customers will purchase them. And with the U.S. phlanked by the planets two largest Hydrogen supplies; it's only a matter of time.

    OK, I'll bite. Why was an Engineer for driverless car targeted for a protest?

    I concur; there is a reason for a 4 year term, and a max of 2 terms. And none of the reasons have anything to do with enjoying the elected office.

    Any document created by the government is by its very nature, "classified." But witnesses, and victums are not.

    It would appear from the public record that when Whistle Blowing, one should not use government records. OK, then one should use public records. Recordings from witnesses, and victums are public. Also, it appears not to harm to learn how law works. This would make a good phone app, "the pocket laywer"; it would say how and what, and where to file papers. But also, it would say, "Why, you have to do it in a certain way."

    It is impossible to win, unless you play by the rules. And who can spend more time on an issue, a human, or a computer? And "No", I didn't say it was going to be easy to win. Why? Because the winners one will compete with didn't lose before.

    I have RTFA, but don't hold that against me.

    If one needs to interface to the internet, would knowing where an access point be useful? One either has access or doesn't. If you don't, then move till you do.

    Now if Mozilla wants to get into the Cell Tower, WiFi business, then their actions make sense. All Cell Towers are registerd with the government. WiFi's are registered with their various ISP providers. So Mozilla can't go to those folks that supply this service and ask? Why? Is it some big scarey secret? But Mozilla has not stated that this is their intention. If Mozilla were that damn interested, then go to Ericsson Int in Irvine California and ask. They are the ones that do this for a living.
    You're obviously new to SlashDot, Here, "reality" is a word on a vocabulary test, and nothing more.

    Who ever modded you down, is a moron. What possible use is knowing this data unless it is to spy upon people? When a business collects data on a person's habits, it is spying. When a government does the same thing, it is called spying. When an person does this, it is called, "Stalking." Cell towers are registered with the government. Wifi's are a service purchased from ISP's. I can't image anyone standing up in a crowd to say, "Ya, I told Mozilla to collect this data."
