But the finance industry should be. Car makers don't care how the miles are driven - sure there will be a few less cars in active usage if this plan goes well, but I see them making it up in new revenue streams like Lyft partnerships. The real losers might end up being finance companies and sleazy used car lots who make a killing not off sales but off finance costs. An overall win for society if you ask me.
Here is the text of the email I used - please write your representative today!
I strongly urge you to support the Surveillance State Repeal Act that is being proposed by Reps. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.). We need smarter protections in place on both sides of this issue and this Act is a step in the right direction. Protecting our country is important, but we can't sacrifice our freedom to achieve our goals. Please take a stand for the freedom our nation was founded on and work with other representatives to achieve a safe and free nation we can all be proud to call home.
While I agree with most of your post, I will point out what the difference could be. Intention makes up a very large portion of how the law interprets actions. In your examples when a company or person manually targets it is clear that their intention is "not good" however when automation is involved it could be the case that the intention was different. This can obviously get into a gray area and is easier for the company to claim ignorance, but that is the general idea around intention.
I would rather the campus be located away from urban area. Less traffic, less driving, cheap/free parking, cheaper food, less chance of crime happening to me or my properly while at or traveling to work and for most people closer to home. This is double so if locally aimed marketing and walk in customers are not very frequent.
Does anyone have that website handy where you can enter your card number to see if it was stolen? That could be pretty helpful for people to figure out their risk level here...
In addition to the contribution limits you and others propose, I think we should make a condition of certain high level politicians that all their conversations are public record. EVERYthing that isn't classified is availble right away, and the rest is on some kind of accelerated release schedule a few months after the action or information has been done/used. At that level only the details of when/where/who/what are discussed so we wouldn't need to worry about technical details being released anyways.
If people knew what their representative said at all times (especially behind closed doors) I think it would do two things. 1. Open people's eyes to their beloved representative's true character. 2. Hopefully start to change the way they (voters and politicians) make decisions, especially in light of the new contribution limit proposed above.
Simple, effective changes are the way to make big things happen over time.
I think the main reason that those industries are interested is that a lot of the tools/apps the user base works on is through a secure web portal. Any data access behind the portal is limited so that it can not come down to the local device. If you think about it a good example is employees who use a "thin" computer like a Wyse terminal. If they can access the same apps/session behind a secure web portal from a DMZ based wifi network on their personal equipment who cares? The data that matters (financial or medical records) is still secure and only available inside the company data center and it never really leaves the secure environment. Obvious downsides are any local keylogger program and/or spyware that takes screenshots but there can be additional checks/scripts run from the web portal to minimize the threat of those attacks.
This happened to me while I was in school around 99/00 as well. Mine was more along the lines of action response: We actually had our room stormed by the network police at my school. They are a medium sized private school, but got in early to the whole interweb thingy and they "own" their own Class B Range on the internet. The network is very fast and they have multiple T1 lines. Apparently I was using over half of the university bandwidth for about 12 hours straight.
My roommate slowed them down, while I ran back to our computer area and powered everything off. We claimed we didn't know what was going on. Before powering back on, I replaced the NICs in EVERY computer we had and needless to say, we slowed down our network usage a tad after that fateful Saturday.
I can confirm at least that scanning works with the lower end versions. I recently setup a new laptop from Best Buy (had to get it quick for a tax person as their PC crashed) that had the Vista Home Premium OS on it. We plugged in the OfficeJet 6110 all in one unit he had and it picked up the driver for printing and scanning right away. To scan you have to open the image viewer program and import image from scanner. Actually works pretty nicely. Even the ADF worked without a hitch.
Now the HP LaserJet 1000 he had was another problem. From HP: "Sorry, but we suck. Drivers for this won't be out until at least July. We are doing this for quality reasons and want to fully test the drivers. Once again, we suck. That is all."
So it may not be how you are used to scanning, but the functionality is there and working fine.

We already lost the battle; Verizon already has this data. The consumer might as well 'benefit' from it too. Cat isn't going back in the bag.

I only do my online banking from a PC that is disconnected from all Internet access! No chance for any key-logger to send back data :)
I found that it is best to collect all four if possible. http://monopoly.wikia.com/wiki/Railroads
In that case go with this one: FREE2GO At least if you get pulled over it gets the words running through their head :)
This comment is why we need a way to rate/track funniest comment of the day/week/month/year! I laughed for about 5 minutes :)

I am TOTALLY turning in a set of cards next turn and getting a ton more armies!!
