TH

ADDRESS, (3) YOUR PSN ACCOUNT NUMBER, IF YOU HAVE ONE, AND (4) A

You just have to go through the pain-staking task of writing them via snail mail and don't forget to keep a copy of your tracking receipt.
Sorry, I caught the headline of this story across my RSS feeder widget on my Android phone. I have similar widgets on my Android tablet. Knock on them all you want, but it's the one thing that the iPhone users I know would like to have (instead of a screen full of program icons).
I can appreciate what Apple has created, but there have been a couple things created outside of Cupertino.
Also of note, I was wondering how a CEO can get away with talking down his products and then I saw that Fusion Garage is privately funded and note publicly owned.
I'm actually migrating away from Sprint because the coverage is actually getting worse in my area. Their unlimited plan was nice, when I could answer the phone in my living room. Now I have to walk outside to actually have a conversation with anyone.
It still blows my mind that people open attachments from individuals they do not know. Despite years of computer virus education and the general public becoming "aware" of tainted files and links, people still do it. They'll put "the club" on their car parked at a Walmart in the middle of no where, but open up random attachments and video links to spiders under the skin from people they don't know. Amazing.
How much information do you think they don't already know?
Maybe they want iris scans? Authorization for genome sequencing? RFID implanting? Hell, I have no idea. I just know that if they are using the threat of terrorism as a cover for it, it can't be good.
That doesn't make much sense. Why would giving them information they already have make any difference?
You dont believe that the government would charge you to give them information they already have?
I'm well aware of the "redundancies" of government record-keeping and it would not surprise me if they were attempting to barter with the mass public for informmation they've already collected. My response was more geared towards the parent stating:
You don't think they already have that information? The point is to verify the information you give them aligns with the information they have about you.
My point was that it has nothing to do with verifying information they already have and everything to do with gathering more data.
That doesn't make much sense. Why would giving them information they already have make any difference? What would they be verifying? If they already knew I was a "trusted traveler" because they had an insane amount of information on me, why not just send me my "trusted traveler" ID card in the mail and call it a day?
I think it is more likely that they are trying to accumulate additional data that would allow them to more easily track your daily activities to build such a database. I'm not saying the government doesn't already have a lot more information on me than I think, what I am saying is that they are requesting additional information to make it easier.
They don't care because we as a country want convenience. If they can make something more convenient (quicker), than people will line up in droves for it. They, of course, will not think for a second that anything nefarious is occurring and gladly accommodate those "protecting" them.
Step 1: Create new "elite program" requesting additional privacy invasion
Step 2: Initially limit ability into "elite program" to create artificial demand
Step 3: Make it more painful for those not in "elite program" to travel
Step 4: Create new "platinum elite program" requesting even more privacy information ....
Step n: All your base are belong to us
In all seriousness, this is the slippery slope everyone talks about.
It depends on your preference. If you're out to only watch mainstream movies, than redbox is the ticket. You can check and reserve your copy online, then go and pick it up for $1.00. You can return it anywhere, so you don't have to worry about going out of your way to find your crappy video store and return it.
We had a slew of Movie Galleries where I live and they overcharged for their movies, but had a huge (crappy) selection. I use the word had because they all went out of a business. When they attempted to complete with Redbox, albeit too late, their gimmick was to have you setup on a recurring monthly subscription for $10 - $15 for an "unlimited" number of rentals, with limitations on the number of movies you could rent at one time. Unless you're watching at least 10 movies a month and taking one home at a time, you were spending more money. To the average movie watcher, the dollars and cents don't add up in your favor.
I love that the graphic used in the article shows that Jeff had 4 hours and 15 minutes of sexual activity. So maybe those that are away of this searching ability will "pump their numbers" a little bit in the hopes that someone special might see?
I think this might allow those that are curious to ask questions in an open forum surrounded by like-minded individuals instead of secretly trying to do things that could result in some stiff punishment. Gone are the days where one was allowed to:
1.) "being curious" about trying to connect to a business' modem to see what happens
or
2.) Mixing up a cocktail from anarchist's cookbook
Now, they are acts of terrorism. In the past, 15 years or more ago, you could get away with these things and continue learning. I wouldn't try half the stuff I did back in the day for fear of being locked up or visited.
Of course these kids are going to try some of the things from the conference, just teach them which ones will have the stiffest penalties.
This doesn't really work with a standard digital cable box. If you cut the power, you are going to have to wait for it to boot-up and download the channel listings again before you can watch TV. Unless you decide you are going to watch cable in 15-20 minutes, then you can go over and turn-on your power strip. Otherwise, you'll be twiddling your fingers while you wait for the thing to warm up.
I'm all for hating Apple for their methods of controlling the consumer experience, controlling the device the consumer purchases, and controlling the content the consumer is allowed to put on their device. However, as much as it pains me to say it, Apple actually deserves this patent. They did spark a whole industry and we're all better because of it.
I just don't want them to stomp on the rest of the industry with this patent, which they will do.
True. However, Cloud services do have their benefits when you integrate them with disaster recovery. I guess just about any large corporation is already "cloud-based," more or less. The SharePoint farm is a cloud, virtual folders are a cloud, etc. I don't see why the sky is suddenly going to fall.
"Helping their cause, Apple presented to the judge a news report which quotes a Samsung executive saying that they will have to improve parts of their upcoming Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet in light of the thinner iPad 2 from Apple."
Someone tell me how this is worth anything in the legal world? Of course Samsung would want to improve their product to compete with a product currently on the market. How is this relevant?
Probably won't help, but hopefully Duke Nukem Forever will have the lazer mines, pipe bombs, shrink ray, and everything from the original. A very nice level editor would be nice too, just for old time's sake
Welcome to/. Where being snarky and an ass is generally the type of response you get to any question on here.
I'm right there with you when it comes to using the weather app in the morning. It helps me plan how to dress my kid, close the windows if need be, and what roads to take to work (if possible flooding or blizzard).

How could criminals purchase blocks outright?
I'll give you $20 to buy me a six pack of domestic beer.
I have a credit card here and I'll offer $100 for that six pack. Carding has been around for a LONG time.

Noted and thanks for the info. That being said, the pain of snail mailing might be equivalent to being staked in the heart like a vampire.
Privatization of the TSA does not mean one company covering the United Stated. It could bring about some competition.
IANAL, but I think that's right. Otherwise you'll have to take them to court individually for leaking your information.

What is the definition of a Social Network? Couldn't every MMORPG out there be considered a social network?
