Some A-GPS devices cannot fall back to standard GPS, needing cell tower or internet signal as these A-GPS devices won't function with only GPS satellite signal.
Many mobile phones combine A-GPS and other location services including Wi-Fi Positioning System and cell-site triangulation in a hybrid positioning system.[2]
"At each board meeting I tell them we have not been served by any (search warrants)," she said. "In any months that I don't tell them that, they'll know."
I am refuting a specific claim by the grandparent, a claim about taxes paid a figure I know is extremely unlikely to be accurate, here is the quote I disagree with
"In fact, liquid fuels are among the highest taxed products, roughly fifty cents per gallon when you add the federal and state taxes together. Plus oil companies pay almost $100B in taxes every year"
I'd like to see that statement backed up with any url that shows they PAY anything approaching 100b to any government(s) worldwide as taxes.
if at a hotel the registration restricts the forms of payment accepted- then it was a prior notice (read your reg card) or if there is a sign on the wall
when you checked in, you agreed to the terms. check out time, rate, # of people.. etc.. if the terms included a list of acceptable payments, you are stuck with it.
Q? I thought that United States currency was legal tender for all debts. Some businesses or governmental agencies say that they will only accept checks, money orders or credit cards as payment, and others will only accept currency notes in denominations of $20 or smaller. Isn't this illegal?
The pertinent portion of law that applies to your question is the Coinage Act of 1965, specifically Section 31 U.S.C. 5103, entitled "Legal tender," which states: "United States coins and currency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues."
This statute means that all United States money as identified above are a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor. There is, however, no Federal statute mandating that a private business, a person or an organization must accept currency or coins as for payment for goods and/or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash unless there is a State law which says otherwise. For example, a bus line may prohibit payment of fares in pennies or dollar bills. In addition, movie theaters, convenience stores and gas stations may refuse to accept large denomination currency (usually notes above $20) as a matter of policy.
What would happen if the average "Mafiaa" espousing slashdotter (among who number some who do websites for a living) were to actually be hired by the RIAA or the MPAA.
maybe it wasn't sloth- but nefarious and deliberate.
I remember the first time I dared hook it up to the VCR input (5 siblings, one televison, and i was going to do something that made it single use person only) and DAMN it looked good in color on the TV...
"In 1970, Playboy became the first gentleman's magazine to be printed in braille."
and they deserve SERIOUS kudos for that..
they have been doing it for 40! years, and you just GUESSED that they were in default? Damn man.. give Playboy their props.. who the hell cared about the disabled in the 70's?
one example "The age of consent is the age at which an individual may legally consent to sexual acts, of either a heterosexual or a homosexual nature. The age of consent for heterosexual sex in Hawaii is 16 for both men and women. Someone who is 14 may consent to sex in Hawaii with an individual who is no more than 19. There is no age of consent for sex between two women or two men, since the U.S. Supreme court has overturned the Hawaiian law."
YOU DOUBT? IT WAS WORTH IT? it was worth 100 million
if that kind of development expense in the private sector doesn't warrant new technology then exactly does make it worth developing a new type of lock box for?
the ORIGINAL story says to use steganography techniques on normal common use websites such as facebook and flickr as connecting to those sites will not draw undue attention.
Your post- the one I was replying to, says --NO NO NO-- they must have a secret IP address to unknown proxies..
I dispute that, originally and again, because to connect to those UNKNOWN proxies, they have to type in an unusual IP address.. that kind of activity can easily by tracked by governments with access..
and your rebuttal to me says- what exactly? connecting to a series of websites makes it OK? if I control the ISP- If I am the opressor with complete system access I can pull every packet you send and receive and reassemble them.... I'll ignore connections to facebook or flickr, but I sure as hell won't ignore connections that you and 11 other people I'm keeping an eye on connect to- that no one else does...
only connections to systems that everyone commonly connects to are likely to be hideable..
this only works if Mallory and Eve are not the government run ISP.
in the case of China, the people you want to hide from, "Mallory and Eve" have access to all traffic coming from you, and see your IP connecting to the 'secret' ip.

my personal experience is different from your claim

I'm here to tell you bud, a candy bar sized object in the pool can CREATE SOME VERY FUCKING SERIOUS EXCITEMENT!

Locally, inspectors know 'who did the work'
I've hired many different plumbers and electricians for work.
some people, they check up very closely on, some they don't.

100 billion every year? have a citation to quote?
here's a counter citation
http://blogs.forbes.com/energysource/2010/04/05/big-oils-tax-bill/
"Yet before you thank Big Oil for financing Uncle Sam's profligacy, get this: Exxon paid none of its 2009 income taxes in the U.S., while Chevron sent the U.S. Treasury just $200 million."
can you supply ANYTHING to back up your claim of 100 billion a year?
