  1. Re:it will be more than your smartphone on The iPhone Meets the Fourth Amendment · · Score: 1

    you make a good point, but i would bet my last dollar that the kilo of coke would be gone before the car thief gets out...

  3. it will be more than your smartphone on The iPhone Meets the Fourth Amendment · · Score: 0

    if anyone gets arrested for anything significant while you are sitting in jail the cops are going to get a warrant and search your home (warrant or not) and pick thru everything with a fine toothed comb, address books (both pulp and on the PC), computers, even between the sheets & mattresses, in your underwear drawer (everywhere) if you can hide it they will most likely find it unless you are really really clever...

  7. Speaking of Wal-Mart on Wal-Mart Pushing Suppliers For RFID · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    i recently purchased a bicycle (mountain bike with 26 inch tires) for 30 dollars on clearance, and the new bikes being restocked were all expensive (close to 200 dollars) than the previous pricing scheme which used to be just under 100 dollars, normally i avoid purchasing Chinese made products but for 30 bucks i bet China and/or Wal-Mart took a loss, so if you want a bike for yourself or someone else (kid's birthday) now is a good time to look for the clearance items on the bicycle rack next to the toy dept...

    RE:["Other respondents have pointed out the arms race between spam and spam filtering"]

    i have good spam filtering, only rarely does spam get past he filter, i still have to go to the server and look through it to see what might have been tagged as spam that should not be anyway & delete the rest and that can number in the hundreds in any given day, i would think if the gov wants to look through email they will have a heck of a lot of trash to dig through...
