    Nice.

  3. How would that possibly help when the Stingray can monitor all calls in an area, regardless of imei? They don't identify by imei. These are used for snooping, rarely for actual legal policework. In fact, it's thrown out of court more than it's used in court.

    It is.

    "According to The NPD Group's Retail Tracking Service, Bluetooth headphone revenue overtook non-Bluetooth for the first time in June accounting for 54 percent of headphone dollar sales and 17 percent of unit sales in the U.S."

    So, how am I wrong? Or are you just in denial?

    And it's almost always wire fraud. Committed by the police.

    Because any networking equipment built to handle 15 or 30 or 50 or 100Mbps wouldn't need replacing. Maybe a few upstream routers *might* need replacing to handle higher throughput. But only because of poor planning. Nothing to do with the cost of delivery.

    Apple has more than enough sources to leak info if they need.

    This reporter permanently burned a bridge. And only has page views to show for it. Most all of which will be gone by tomorrow.

    They don't have to say that. 30 MBPS dedicated service at $40/mo is not realistically possible

    You're going to have to explain why. Do their costs go up if the rate goes from 15Mbps to 30Mbps? It's using the same equipment...

    Stop selling unlimited stuff as unlimited. The onus is ENTIRELY on the company making such claims to back them up.

    Put up or shut up.

  15. Hey dipshit, at least find a citation that does NOT make a counterpoint to your claim.

    Stanton also argued that the Sixteenth Amendment "authorizes only an exceptional direct income tax without apportionment, to which the tax in question does not conform" and that therefore the income tax was "not within the authority of that Amendment." The Court also rejected this argument and upheld the constitutionality of the income tax under the 1913 Revenue Act.

    So the constitution doesn't say that Congress can't enact tax legislation? You sure about that?

    If you're sure, you might want to go read the 15th amendment. It's pretty fucking clear. In fact, I'll copy it here for you to show how full of shit you are.

    The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.

    How does Apple create the law?

    And why is Ireland perfectly fine with what Apple paid in taxes?

    Apple wants a tax holiday to avoid double taxation. Just like all multinational corporations do.
