    I don't want people reading my texts that say "omg jst pt da enc key, itz 9196a2c630a12993d7e16e3647a51b04"

    One day you'll learn that it's possible to send encrypted and non-encrypted texts from the same phone pretty easily.
    Just the same as it's possible to send an encrypted email, along with send an unencrypted email, from the same email client.

    Also, if your girlfriend tells you where to sleep then the relationship is a little shakey. That mindset went away in the 70's at the latest... well, for people who weren't subservient.

    I used to work for a company named Celltrust that was entirely based on the idea of encrypted text in transit as well as at rest.
    The idea is, no matter the law you fall on the side of caution. Especially since the law only works post-activity as punishment and doesn't avoid any activities.

    Wrap your phone in aluminum foil, and line your pocket copper wire to form a faraday cage kind of concept.

    The way I see it, if I was worried about being tracked for any reason I would not have my cell phone. While most saying this are just spouting crap from their mouth, I've done it before. Disposable cell phones are available nowadays also, which for those that are on the "fringe" and fear being known... that's an option.

    Even put more true to how things are...

    Bill Gates:
    Represents a callous sociopathic corporation who used embrace-extend-extinguish business tactics to gain it's position, then utilized shear political, corporate, and economic brute force to eradicate competition when possible.

    The Pope:
    Represents a callous sociopathic corporation who internally uses passive agressive business tactics, and externally utilizing an embrace-extend-extinguish business model to gain it's position, utilizing physical warfare tactics to eradicate competition when possible.

    Even when stretched to full description, it's still the same... wow...

    Exactly... if you put information on there that is sharable, and keep people you actually know in real life as friends on there (not adding people for numbers sake), it's a good group collaboration site. It's used by n00bs and experts alike, and while it's lacking on anything too intense... well... it's a great way to share pics/events with your friends/relatives/etc along with sharing your events in your life with those that you aren't able to stay in contact with readily.

    I liken it to another myspace, really. Myspace never really died for me, it's just that most of my friends aren't there anymore, so what good is it? Now it's just a bunch of "gangsta" kids, and rap artists plying their wares upon unsuspecting audiences.

    Then again, facebook isn't much better... but hey, it's the people that matter. Along with the fact that I can take a picture with my phone and with two clicks have it in my Facebook album. Handy.

    It's the gorgeous layers of fat, the marbling, the beautiful fat, the heavenly adipose, that succulent fat that makes the meat taste like *meat*

    The reason is because the meat has fat engrained into it, and by chopping off the globs of fat you don't have a 10-20% fat meal. It still tastes the same, just sans entire globs of fat. Besides, that's usually the meat avoided when purchased. Every good butcher knows that when cutting the meat for packaging.

    It's just common sense, sorry you don't have it. Attraction to fat is a primitive body reaction which you've just taken as your modis operandi. Wow.
