gmail's spam filtering is pretty damn awesome for me, as well.
Very few false negatives, and only a handful of false positives (but when I look at it objectively, I'd imagine the majority of users would consider such newsletters as spam).
I've personally heard such random complaints communicated to officers via radio to have checked out, including case number assignment. Even stupid shit like bags of dog poo left at doorsteps (pun intended). This is a fairly populous area, too.
These guys had GPS from the phone (via consent of the victim or certainly his father) and couldn't find it. That takes a spectacular level of incompetence.
I think it illustrates limitations in the technology more than human incompetence. The service can't find your phone. It can tell you that your phone is near 55th and San Pedro, but it's not going to tell you which house and room the thing is sitting in, or whose pocket it has been put in. I bet I can stash a phone "near" any intersection in the country and you wouldn't be able to find it with only that information.
Notice that I'm not suggesting a solution... the service does what it does, but it's not a panacea for finding lost things.
I bet I could find your stashed phone. It need not even be connected to a network, just powered up and trying to connect.
It's called radio direction finding, and it's actually a damn fun hobby.
How is that a troll? It looks like a perfectly reasonable, logical, opinion. (note: we are allowed to have differing opinions, and "troll" does not mean "does not share my opinion")

I applaud the appropriateness (and truthiness) of your signature.

Works just fine for me. Seamonkey (therefore thunderbird) handles labels via IMAP just fine.
Aah, in that case, I'd suggest folding a cat5 into a flog and implementing that ;)
Imagine that... treat them with respect and you are treated with respect in turn.
Fucking shame people have forgotten this.
Hence the "until recently" that you seemed to miss.
Lets also not forget that was a single known occurrence. You don't throw out a whole truck of flour because of a single weevil.
Complain. Send a letter to city hall. If you can find someone in IA, tell them.
Those people who actually solve crimes are detectives and forensics. It's the beat cops and dispatch that laughed at you.

Collect enough samples and find the average center point. Should be right on the money if the device is stationary.

Thanks for sharing.
Ladies and gentlemen, this here is what we call Internet Gilles de la Tourette syndrome.
... if?
One does not need to be a roach in order to understand the actions of roaches.
I doubt the 6502 has the horsepower for it...
No. But you'd know that if you had bothered to look up what a 6502 was.
No, it's simply a copy-paste of the article's first paragraph.
Fucking lazy, is what it is.
It's not mandatory. It's also not applicable to components.
An extinction event is a possibility.
Care to qualify that? It's always a possibility. There might be a rock the size of Australia screaming towards us at near-cas I type this.
History/Karma's a bitch, huh. one troll example .

The same guy who sets up all their other radio can do this, too. Have you seen the roof(s) of a large hospital?
A proper antenna on the roof, some filters and/or an amplifier would solve the problem. Not a problem for a hospital.
pick the lock (time-consuming, requires skill, and may be embarrassing to the client)
Only if they don't have the equivalent of a lock bump. Take bit drill thing, put in lock, pull trigger, open door.
We've had decades now to bulletproof NTP
... and in fact we've already done so.
There is no excuse for failing to implement it.
WTF, slashdot ate half my link text...
Grr. My point is there is a secured NTP service provided by NIST. Hospitals should be able to trust that, for outside synchronization.
