Speaking of right time: That gives him plenty of time for re-election and using this as sales material. Now if he can figure out how to get the troops out before November 6...
Eventually, the Senate lost most of its power and became little more than a formality that Palpatine had to go through to pass his laws. Yet the Senate did have a symbolic power at least; Chancellor Palpatine still hid behind the pomp and circumstance of appealing to the Senate, but his power existed in his control over thousands of Senators that he had brought into his own web of corruption.
Going back to the prior argument: A person cannot (legally/mentally... just like a child) give consent to be shot either, but those photos are all over the web.
The logical course is not to hunt down the people viewing, but the people providing... if it really becomes a matter of national concern, that is. There are far too many money sinks as it is: Drug War, Pornography, et al.
Except for your first one, which happens even with a dumbphone as cell towers will log your location, all of the other things are optional features that you don't have to use if you don't want to.
Cyanogen is working on it or has a solution. I have not followed it as close as the main issue because Cyanogen is something very few have (relative to the core Android build) http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2814
What if you had the ability to select permissions? (or globally deny everything permission to your contacts, etc.)

Some folks in the thread have written letters to their representatives, others mostly complain in the thread and Google just shrugs it off. Personally, I think this needs to be brought to the front of the issues and resolved.
I remember when the Television ad bubble burst. There were so many advertisements and people stopped watching TV altogether. They went outside and threw Frisbees to each other. They all got skin cancer and became so deformed by the operations to remove the cancerous skin that they decided to go back inside and watch TV.
I also have a ThinkPad (T61) running Ubuntu that works just fine with power management. I close the lid, it goes to sleep. I open it and I have a working desktop in seconds, WiFi and all.
The problem I have is that it most certainly CAN be traced to a particular user. A lonely strip of road in the middle of nowhere has one (maybe two) "hits" for speeding per day. Police find a nice spot to hide and pull over anyone with a GPS unit in the window going even slightly over the speed limit. They may not have your name in the GPS report, but you most definitely know you were the one flagging that TomTom service.
It would especially be bad if they recorded the time of the speeding "incident" because that would narrow the search down further. Humans are creatures of habit and frequently take the same roads to and from work a the same times.
There doesn't even have to be an officer in the car. The road I travel to work frequently has an empty patrol car sitting in the median and people slow down.
Don't go straight to the Congressman! The municipalities in the area determine the limits based on surveys done for the street you are on. There is usually someone that can help you resolve it at your local public offices.
(I happen to have a friend trying to get a 150ft. strip of a road nearby reclassified. The road is 55mph except for a small patch where the neighboring county juts over the road and the road is 35mph there. It strictly had to do with an oversight and/or inconsistencies in how the speed zoning is handled by county since it's nowhere near any homes.)
Now, if you're looking to have the statewide speed limits changed, you still don't have to go to Congress to get it taken care of, unless you are referring to the State Congress since speed limits are no longer Federal.
We're in some pretty muddy water with this one. PSN is *NOT* free since you need to have a PS3 to use it (barring other devices that might use it, eg. PSP).
Technically, you do not need any Sony device to have a PSN account. You can create an account online.
You also don't need the device to "use" the account unless you consider "use" buying items. In which case, you'd still be wrong because you can download things from the online store to your PC.
While all credit card information stored in our systems is encrypted and there is no evidence at this time that credit card data was taken, we cannot rule out the possibility.
The entire credit card table was encrypted and we have no evidence that credit card data was taken. The personal data table, which is a separate data set, was not encrypted, but was, of course, behind a very sophisticated security system that was breached in a malicious attack.
Names, addresses and maybe passwords with the unknown/slight chance of credit card data? They haven't said that CC data was stolen, but that the hacker MIGHT have had access to some of it.

It gives him a bit more than a year to get the troops out and use that as his sales pitch.

*devil's advocate*
Same result.

This is the edition for the managers... they like big numbers when talking increases.

How do I not use that feature?

Are you jealous that you didn't think of it and just hired some developer to sit on Slashdot all day long? /duck
DD-WRT (and most likely Tomato) also provide Hot Spot software that your neighbors "log in" to get on the net through your connection.

It may at least give you a possible "out" if the law breaks down your door, but I'm sure it violates your ISP TOS.
MAC addresses which can be cloned and spoofed so there's really no security at all!

It's only illegal if you get caught...
You'll need cameras everywhere, cameras can be obscured/destroyed...
The only way they'll catch you is to LoJack everyone at birth so they can be identified as being at the scene of the crime
LoJack could be removed...

Private financial information was breached.
Possibly, but not absolutely.
