Sure it is. Tell it to the Boarder Patrol and TSA - if you want to lose your device (it happens all the time). Also a court can rule that you have to "surrender" your password, simply a fact. Of course you don't have to give up your passwords, nobody can "make" you to do what you don't want to do, though they can certainly put enough pressure on you to the point that you give it up.
Yes, the FCC is monitoring radio waves in the capitol and the rest of the country, but is less likely to monitor the content broadcast on the radio waves unless here is a complaint.
Well then, what's up with the NSA and the CIA?
Perhaps they already knew about it and were monitoring the station for clandestine messaging? Just because the Department of Justice "says" they didn't know about these people doesn't meant that's a true statement.
Further proof that, far more often than not, "disruptive" means ignoring the law for as long as humanly possible while hoping that your competitors can't (or won't) follow suit.
only in america, when somebody promises you something for nothing, you can sue them when they don't deliver!
What did Sprint offer that they are not delivering on? Have they added a data cap to "unlimited" accounts? You know, I don't think so.
So what have they done? They have said that they will prioritize Data Hogs such that other customers retain some kind of decent up/down speed. "Unlimited" does not mean you get the whole pipe.
And really, why would anyone download 23 GB in a month on their cell phone data plan? Because you are an asshole? Maybe if you are near WiFi you should be using that and be a "good neighbor"? Oh, that's right, you're selfish and unrealistic 20-something.
Sprint's policy is good for all its customers except Data Hogs who so narcissistic that they have no interest in anyone but themselves.
seriously the fact that any of the telcoms got away with advertising anything "unlimited" is amazing. Lobbying power and Bullshit make wonderful bed partners.
What's not "unlimited" about it? Did they add a data cap to the plan? No they didn't.They simply said they would prioritize Data Hogs such that normal customers were not as greatly impacted by the Data hogs.. Nobody said you could have the whole pipe.
Sprint said customers will still be able to use unlimited amounts of data without overage charges, but for moments when the network is congested, traffic from heavy-data customers will move more slowly. Sprint said the policy operates in real time and only applies if a cell site is constrained. Performance for an affected customer returns to normal as soon as the local traffic returns to normal.
Doesn't seem all that diabolical. The alternative is the end of unlimited plans (which is probably coming anyway).
Exactly. And remember we are talking about wireless... In other words streaming to your cell phone. If you are streaming so much data to your phone that you are effecting other customers, there's no reason why you should not expect to be "prioritized".
Let's not start this ridiculous "they sold me unlimited and it's not", because we know that's not the case. There is no data cap, you just can't hog the pipe.
Last May when my auto insurance policy renewed there were a few pages enclosed. Adding / detracting language from the previous policy. While not stating Uber or Lyft by name it was clear that the insurance company was writing them completely out of the picture.
And this is a good point. While Uber claims to have bazillions to insure payments in case of accidents, much of the liability will be negated when the driver's actual insurance company denies your claim for injury. And as well, your own insurence company will bail out as well.
Uber / Lift is an unregulated taxi service staffed by drivers that have met a non-existent bar for entry.
For a young couple with no kids and both working outside the home, who only need a place to sleep, it appears ideal. That ain't me or my family.
From the story:
We merged the inherently efficient indoor/outdoor rooms and open floor plan of the quintessential 60â(TM)s style modern beach cottage with state of the art building science, the latest renewable energy technologies, and fiber-composite materials repurposed from the boat building industry.
As the article states, it's a beach cottage, not a year-round family home. It any case, they make these things called curtains, you can open and close them for privacy.
Snowden will never leave Russia, hope he's been picking up the language. Much like Kim Philby and others, he will die there in a dacha someplace, a bitter broken man.
Not that he should, it's just the reality of the situation.

No, just the hygienist. ;-)
I go to a Korean "hygienist", she works a bit lower.
I like the cut of your job, funnyman!
I believe that would be "cut of your jib" not job.
It's called a "typo". On a keyboard, the I is right next to the O. Have a nice day, please come again.

Both the NSA and CIA have in their charter that they are for foreign intelligence.
Yes, but you know from Snowden and other sources that it is not true.

"Natural pesticides" is a pretty nebulous term. Such "natural" substances may or may not be good for non-target plants the bees come in contact with.
I predict unintended consequences...
"Go Fuck Yourself".
I get those. I tell them it isn't me and that it was the last owner of the number. I am polite but firm, AND THEY NEVER CALL ME BACK.
Pay your bills, no one calls.
Phantom console.
Nope, wrong analogy.
Who in their right mind runs an email server without a static IP?

Uber...
Because they paid for an "unlimited data" plan...
Again, Sprint has not imposed any type of cap on their data consumption.

No, because the latest hip-hop album about "pimpin hoes" and "bein a gangsta" doesn't do that in any appreciable way.
In your opinion. However, you are stating a subjective opinion. What is art and literature to some in not to others, and the other way around.
When I go to my dealer and ask for a kilo, I know I get a kilo.
You totally missed the point. The actual and real fact is, he can never return here. It's simply a fact.
Not a good fact, but none the less the reality.
