To make wireless communications possible, our network knows the general location of your phone or wireless device whenever it is turned on. Your wireless device sends out a periodic signal to the nearest radio tower/cell site so that our network will know where to route an incoming communication and how to properly bill for the service. This is necessary to make wireless communications possible. Location information derived from providing our voice service, in addition to being covered by this Policy, is CPNI and is protected as described above.
If you dial 9-1-1 for emergency services, we provide your call location to a public safety answering point, emergency medical service provider or emergency dispatch provider, public safety, fire service, or law enforcement official, or hospital emergency or trauma care facility. The law also permits us to disclose the call location of a device on our network without a user's consent (1) to a user's legal guardian or members of a user's immediate family in an emergency situation that involves the risk of death or serious physical harm, (2) to database management services or information providers solely to assist in delivering emergency services, (3) if we reasonably believe that an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires or justifies disclosure of a device's location on the network without delay, and (4) in "aggregate" form. Aggregate data is collective data that relates to a group or category of services or customers, from which individual customer identities and characteristics have been removed.
We offer wireless location-based applications that use your wireless network location to provide the service you request. For example, you may choose to subscribe to a service that provides driving directions on your wireless device. Please review the terms and conditions for each service for additional information about how the location information will be used or disclosed. It is important to note, if you let others use location-based services to which you've subscribed as the account holder (or if you let others use your handset if such handset has location tracking capabilities), it is your responsibility to inform that user that his or her location may be tracked.
Your wireless Internet service may also be personalized using your zip code or other location identifiers. We use this information to serve you relevant content, and we treat the information like any other personal information under this Policy.
this seems to indicate some fairly loose wording regarding emergency services, which would include the police.

Location-Based Services
Our network detects your device's approximate location whenever it is turned on (subject to coverage limitations). This location technology makes the routing of wireless communications possible and is also the basis for providing enhanced emergency 9-1-1 service, which permits us to provide your general location to a public safety answering point, emergency medical service provider, or emergency dispatch provider. We may also use this technology to disclose, without a user's consent, the approximate location of a wireless device to a governmental entity or law enforcement authority when we are served with lawful process or reasonably believe there is an emergency involving risk of death or serious physical harm.
With your consent, we may also provide location-based services or provide third-parties access to approximate location information so they may provide such services to you. You should carefully review the specific T-Mobile terms and conditions applicable to your use of location-based services for any special privacy implications or rules. You should also carefully review the privacy policies and other terms of third-parties with whom you have authorized the sharing of your location information, and you should consider the risks involved in
another person blaming their woes on those dreadful people dressed in black. it's like the German dude who blamed the shootings there on video games. An easy scapegoat.
Not to mention that the social goth movement was an 80s through early/mid 90s happening that has nothing to do with these idiots now who wear trenchcoats and listen to marilyn manson. I'm sick of this shit. As a person who is still goth in his mid-30s, I resent the continual scapegoating of a movement that had serious meaning to a great many people.
Hmm, so instead of peers we could have: Jury of our seeds, Jury of our leechers, Jury of our users, or worst of all, Jury of our superusers. Cue XKCD joke "sudo make me a sandwich".
prior to them inserting login information safe? For instance, for the business application I develop, I check to see if the user accessed the login page via ssl, and if not, I user header('Location https://blah/ to get them to the ssl login page. To me that should be good, but the site above seems to indicate even that is not safe since a person could spoof the cert as soon as the site is accessed. Or perhaps I'm not quite understanding it clearly.
On a side note, anyone have any good recommendations for a Digital tuner for my media PC instead?
don't get the ATI HDTV Wonder 600.
The windows software that comes with it is flaky at best and it doesn't work with XP Pro Media Center media player. I haven't even attempted it in Linux yet, though I imagine xawtv or mythtv should work fine with it.
Actually, before my gf and I bought our house, I had to straighten out something like that. Some dude with my name who hadn't paid his car payment or something. They were able to straighten it out using my social security number.
Luckily, there are a ton of people with my name who are much more open on the web than I am. Producers, directors, artists, musicians, writers, attorneys general, you name it. 10 pages of Google still didn't come up with anything close. I guess there is a plus to having a really common name.
If Microsoft bought Yahoo, they would own Zimbra, which is a pretty good Exchange replacement. I, for one, do not want to see that happen, as my company uses Zimbra for mail and I don't fancy having to load Windows and Exchange on one of my mission critical servers.

This might help... :}

Space junk and golf clubs they post no threat to us, cause if we find we're in a bind....
Too bad NASA is not as creative as Gene Roddenberry (or Voltaire)
they cannot take the time out to investigate some lore of gnomes to determine what they need.
I know you probably didn't mean that in humor but damn that made me laugh. I imagined some kid's parents trying to understand old AD&D manuals.

boo!
ahhh 9600 baud

a youtube video as well.
True, or it could have been a spelling error, rather than a typographical error. Either way, I stand corrected.
I'm surpised you missed the most glaring grammatical blunder in the comment: prevolent, which, of course, should be prevalent
