That's interesting. My OCD requires that I locate the phrase "orders of magnitude" in each thread.
A car analogy is orders of magnitude better than any other kind of analogy. By and large, I don't think the phrase means what people think it means (there's another one).
Allowing the user to select weather encryption is enabled or disabled as he transmits is problematic for many reasons, two of these being that he could mistakenly transmit sensitive information in the clear when he intended encrypted and in the event of a problem, a radio without a non-encrypted means of transmitting could result in the user not being able to transmit in an emergency.
Most sane configurations would have non-encrypted and encrypted talkgroups on the system.
The handheld radio is still going to transmit on low power to the repeater. The input/output frequency pair information of the repeaters is public knowledge. Therefore, if you simply scan the INPUT frequency(ies) of the repeater(s) and you pick up signal, that means you have a mobile or portable radio in your area (say within 1/4 mile or so, depending on the position of your receiver).
Basically, you've got it right. Folks around the world have scanners plugged into streaming software on their computers which stream up to a centralized service. RadioReference.com serves up the majority of these feeds. RR provides a API whereby any app developer can access the streams.... thus there are many apps on all platforms for monitoring public safety agencies in most areas of the US.
Part of the argument against streaming police radio feeds in this way is obvious. It provides the bad guys a quick and easy way to listen in, where in the past you had to purchase a scanner or two, know how to use it, etc. etc... accordingly, some in the scanning community have advocated for a delay built into the stream (5-15 minutes, say) in an effort to appease law enforcement into not going encrypted. I think the damage is done though as more and more agencies continue to go digital/encrypted, mostly on the back of grants funded by federal US tax dollars.
Everyone complaining above agrees that an officer who arrests a hit and run offender should not be allowed to search the defendants phone to see if they were talking / texting at the time of the accident?

I wonder how many businesses will avoid Windows 8 and wait for 9 to come out?
Avoid 8? You say that as if everyone is on 7. My corporation is on XP for the desktop (we run some Netbooks with whatever they come with) and we will remain there until XP's end-of-life, which I believe is 2014. For some prespective, Chevron Corporation standard's workstation configuration (GIL) is running Vista, and will likely remain there for another 2-3 years.
Or, here's another thought... Maybe the person's life is so miserable they see that splurge of eating out after payday as the one bright spot in an otherwise desperate and pathetic existence. Or maybe they are stupid. It's sometimes hard to tell the difference.
I do the same, except I've learned to turn that bright spot into a $17 bottle of Jack Daniels once a week. Far, far cheaper than $100 meals out, and I've managed to eek out a savings, too!
Having been through the juvenile system in my younger days, I can tell you that what they typically do is suspend dispositions of minor offenses (mine was pot) upon completion of a intervention type program (usually probation, drug education, some type of work program or community service, etc.).
Getting an attorney involved in that process usually means a disposition is entered and the kid is sentenced accordingly (could be some term served in a juvenile facility).
During your suspended disposition, if you screw up again, they enter a disposition on the original charge.

I can add that IBM's Lotus Notes 8.5 -- released in 2009 -- already had the ability to specify hours of a partial day.

Excuse me, but have we determined, to any degree of certainty whatsoever, that actual cattle are involved in the production of McDonald's hamburgers?
Yes, er, can I get extra lard on my sandwich? Great, thanks!
How would anyone know not to put strychnine in their chicken soup?
But can't Apple do all those things without the display? A third generation Apple TV could conceivably handle all of that.
I will speculate that the thing won't be called an iTV... if Apple wants to sell it in the UK, that is.
This is the one that really bugs me. Professional broadcasters say it on the air for christ's sake.

They encrypt using the APCO Project 25 Digital Radio standard:

This is absolutely the case. P25 radios can be re-keyed over the air.

I don't really believe there is a basis in fact for your statement.
Keep in mind that many agencies (not all) which do encrypt provide subscriber units to the media. In either case, someone is always listening.
Yes, there's an app for that.

Sure, search it. With a warrant.
Does (did) Chrome enjoy the same rate of adoption in the enterprise (IT folk) as Firefox has (had)?
If not, then your comparison is meaningless.

Also, the program outlined isn't Apple's per se. Apple contracts it out.
Could you (or someone) point out some of these reasons? Not trolling here, just not familiar with this subject and would like a little insight.
Amazing! That's the combination to my....voicemail that news of the world hacked!
