"Any app that uses internet could find out where you are by your ip address"
Do you think your ip address changes from tower to tower or something?
On the level of this topic- the locations being sought are on mobile phones, that in a given day could be anywhere in a 300 mile radius of start point at the extreme, 50-70 miles in a given commute easily.
The advertisers that want your location, want to know what restaurant you might be near for example.
and you think this can be determined simply from a cell phone IP address?

I am not supporting the basis of the authority- I'm just pointing out the relevant section/basis for argument.
There are sections of our constitution which equivocate international treaties and the constitution
the absoluteness of such equality is debated, usually towards whatever point of view the debater wants to take.
BUT, a treaty signed into international law, where the US part of fulfilling the terms of the treaty is handed to the executive branch- which then creates an agency to upkeep the mandate.
could in fact cause the thus designated agency (in this case ITC) to have powers & duties equal to those otherwise held by the judicial.
as i understand it, at the very highest levels, the debits & credits for a connection is based on how many more bits one backbone generates vs. another backbone over each others networks during a billing cycle.
Further consideration, at the consumer level, this is why home users ABOVE the 99th percentile are the ones targeted for either cessation of service or increased charge.
I think they don't drive around
but use end user devices with gps to collect the data (So this may make it more heinous) i.e. if your phone has GPS & Wifi on, it uses end user equipment to build the database

the Microsoft customer base is universal google customer base is universal ibm is either mega-corporate to hell and gone or consumer end users it's been this way for a while

are you still thinking the only people who are microsoft customers are tech heavy nerds? that hasn't been the case for well over a decade..
the customers microsoft needs to win over by the way, aren't the technicians and sysadmins, but the CEO's and purchasing agents.
CEO's, and btw their spouses, watch the food network.
fans of SCI-FI use & support the products of these companies, but are not the CUSTOMER so far as the goal of marketing goes.
they only (so far as I know) block ports on residential accounts you don't mention it, I suspect you are using a residential class account.
I have a comcast business account.. 2 actually. pay for an account where the TOS allow servers... they won't block the port
before I had a 2nd commercial account, (at my home) my biggest gripe was connections from my home to work
took too many hops to go 8 miles in very different ip ranges...
see if comcastbusiness.net is on the block lists you fear..

any DHS law enforcement-- not just customs.
an EULA spells out the terms under which your bought something.
It does not 'take away rights' it identifies purchase terms you agree to (even if you don't agree with them)

I invent something today,
file in ten years
the patent is granted as of the day I file it + the life of the patent, not the invention date.
the basis for granting the patent is first to create
the life of the patent is based on filing/issue date
Patent filing date has nothing to do with it, we have 'first to invent' rules
(so happy or not- that is the current law- gotta live with it for now)
so if Kodak can prove they did it before someone else-- they win for first to invent
BTW, I readily found a website
http://www.retrothing.com/2008/05/kodaks-first-di.html
indicating kodak first met the conditions of the patent in 1975

how about-- how much of the battery is depleted on takeoff?
could you power takeoff through induction instead of on-board batteries, then switch to the batteries for level flight?
just unroll a mother of a long coil down the side of the takeoff path...
hmmm???
Counter rotating pairs, same as helicopters!
then you just have to track failed units to make sure & maintain the 1/1 ratio necessary to keep the earths magnetic field from dissipating!

They aren't working for the 'citizen' (I assume you mean the one being charged)
in that position, the responsibility of the prosecutor is to represent the values of the community AGAINST the value/decision of the individual.
in a tribe of 10 people, you work stuff out via conversation and with the possibility of expulsion (shunning)
in a tribe of millions, you have a DA who does his best to see the one person at loggerheads is punished.

Supplemental Identification - U.S. Region
A U.S. Acquirer must not, as a regular practice, require a Merchant, and a Merchant must not require a
Cardholder, to provide any supplementary Cardholder information as a condition for honoring a Visa
Card or Visa Electron Card, unless it is required or permitted elsewhere in the U.S. Regional
Operating Regulations. Such supplementary Cardholder information includes, but is not limited to:
Social Security Number (or any part thereof)
Fingerprint
Home or business address or telephone number
Driver's license number
Photocopy of a driver's license
Photocopy of the Visa Card or Visa Electron Card
Other credit cards
read an actual merchant agreement some time
(the one between the business and visa)
merchants are FORBIDDEN to ask for ID as a condition of using a credit card...
if the signature is good, and the card is present, you may NOT ask for ID just because its a credit card.
if you require ID of all purchasers say, for a hotel, you can ask for ID.. but not just because it is a credit card.....
doing so violates CC agreements.
(merchants aren't even supposed to accept cards that say CID or SEE ID)
if it is UNSIGNED, we are to request ID, then get the card holder to sign the card before accepting.
(I have a merchant agreement, I've read it, and I've read the merchant operations PDF's at the major sites)
