Think
about it. Cheating spouses, monitoring your kids; it'll be a great society if we all have this data. Ala "South Park" WifeTracker 2010 will be a great boon to all those paranoid husbands out there who's wives are meeting guys on Craigslist or PlentyofFish.
Umm, if you're with VZW you can already monitor your kids' whereabouts, including getting alerts if they stray outside your approved perimeter and corridor areas. Of course there's a monthly fee. You can also control whom they can call and text, and there's a fee for that too.
They don't suggest that you can monitor your spouse, but they also don't say how they know whether the person getting the phone is a kid or a spouse.
If we all wanted true privacy we would move to the country-side, but there is not enough country-side for all to have that kind of privacy.
Hardly.
In the country, where the population is much less dense, everyone knows everyone (because "everyone" is so few people). People are much more likely to know your movements, your habits, and your business in a small town than a big city.
People who desire anonymity and privacy will almost always go to a big city, not to the countryside.
By having [a cellphone], you're explicitly granting permission for people to find you.
No, I'm explicitly granting permission for people to signal me, indicating that they want to speak to me.
I'm not giving them permission to speak to me until I answer the phone, and I'm not giving them permission to know where I am unless I tell them.
Snopes posted a couple of purposefully incorrect things once, in order to prove a point about not blindly trusting people. The fake stories backfired (or worked, depending on your view) and became real urban legends. Hilarious.

Rings were discovered around Uranus some years ago. Much to the surprise and delight of every 7th-grade astronomy student.
I know there are no privacy laws in Britain, but here in the U.S., I would hope that there's a law....
What you know ain't so, and what you hope ain't so either. This is way more illegal in the UK than in the US.

The word "Guarantee" is legally meaningless. Caveat emptor.
Are you saying that high-fructose corn syrup is NOT all natural?
I have a hard time believing it is supernatural, which is the only other option.
I would assert that it is indeed completely natural, as are radon, asbestos, and a host of other similarly wholesome substances.
"I came here for an argument."
No you didn't!
Now that's batshit crazy!
They wanted to get the electoral votes in swing states like OH and PA.
Your mistake is in thinking that it had anything to do with energy policy.
Or yours is in thinking that it does now.
Inability to make money legitimately is not the only motivation for a criminal career.
What then--fame?
You are just as likely to receive a failing grade if you sign your paper Anonymous Coward.
So your point was, what?--rules for college assignments should apply to slashdot?
Have we forgotten that Markoff's an idiot?
I dunno, I've always found bungling to be more prevalent and insidious.
I submit that since you have admitted that the two are indistinguishable, you have no basis to make that claim.
"Yes, because everything that isn't done manually is inauthentic"
How do you do non-manual singing?
Many singers find the throat to be useful in this regard.
Sufficiently advanced bungling is indistinguishable from malice anyway.
But the real danger is that sufficiently advanced malice is indistinguishable from bungling.
We're not "based" on carbon-14. We're based on carbon--almost all of it carbon-12.
Must not be fully rolled out yet. I looked in the "Labs" section and it's not there yet. Yes, I'm a US user.
Last time I checked light doesn't travel through my wall. Radio waves do.
Check again.
Well said.
What's the most secure method of wireless communication (at least for home use) (besides using a hardline)?
None. The "hardline" is the most secure method of wireless communication. No, wait...
Capitalists?
What were they?
