your partisan bias is the reason we have shit like this. Both parties, have almost unanomious support except a handful out outliers.

This is what happens when you vote party line instead of looking at the issues.

unfortunately no. all phones pull a satellite or two starting a generation before the razr as required by law(not user accessable). even with smart phones you can turn the GPS for the same effect.

That said, cell network location is not exactly reliable. If you are in a major city, there can easily be half a million people in resolution radius. E911 is notoriously poor for location as well.

Of course there are more ways to track you besides E911 which only activates durring a phone call to 911. Government backdoors like the ablity to turn on your phone's mic and listen are present in phones of this era.

Even if you could find a phone with no spying capabilities, which is hard because all the GSM/CDMA chips are closed source, and every chip and ever device needs to be approved by the government, you'd stand out on the network as the only device without such capabilities.

Its simple, you use somthing like the Affero license so no one can make changes that you can't access. Since anyone can try, whatever good ideas other people have you can re-incorporate, so you can potentially have a far bigger unpaid developer base. If your product is known to attract hacker types as customers, they can act as force multipliers, easily. As compared to a closed program, you'll have more eyes on the code. Its also your code, and you know it better than anyone else.

Then you simply focus on having the best quality of service. You can copy software, you can't copy quality of service.

Combine these two, its not as easy as you think to compete against someone else with their own software.

You also have your brand name and reputation. which is built on that quality of service. Despite the fact that CentOS is given away for free, people pay good money for RHEL subscriptions, and RH is an economicly viable company.

The support is where the money is. The actual product is a loss leader.

Motorola Razr v3xx is probably one of the best handsets of all time.

That said, its old, uses a now non-standard charge port, and all the hacked tools are no longer readily available.(Motorola PST, Qualcom's tool, etc...)

the pre-order is for 350 EURO which is under $400 USD at current exchange rates.

This would make developing things such as metasploit and nmap near impossible, as well as most Free/Open security testing tools.(there is no way to really prevent Free software from crossing borders)

Even more reasons I am glad I am done with the government. Its seems like ever last seemingly innocous habbit I had as a kid the government saw as some part of ungodly conspiracy. From loud rock music, to computer skills, now riding harleys.

I can't win, they know it, I know it. So fuck them.

Congradulations, you are the problem. Thanks for making the Jersey Shore look intellegent by comparison. To quote Mark Twain: "Its somtimes better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are a fool, than to open your mouth and confirm it"

Commercial, as in Commericial registation/plates.

There are no value judgements, simply put, already commericially plated vehicles. that is all.

my thinking exactly. also, a diffrent tax rate for commericial vs residential. Someone might need to drive a 5 ton truck for business, so we give them a little break, so we don't raise the price of goods and services. As long as someone is doing something productive with the vehicle its fine. However we can raise taxes on people who recreationally drive heavy vehicles they don't neccerially need. Not an outright ban, but if you want to drive your giant SUV when you could have used a much smaller car, you need to pay your share of the extra wear on the roads. This is only fair. SUVs are expensive. Gas is expensive. If you can afford the gas, and you can afford the truck, you can afford the roads.

They should have registration based on vehicle wieght, and other factors which determine how much wear your vehicle does to the road.

nVidia fanboy since switching to Linux. A combination of them releasing their new unified driver, the latest nvidia chips being notoriously hard for nouveau, and now this, I think my next card is going to come from AMD

Bernie Sanders is a Social Democrat. People like him have always been called "Social Democrat". He is not any type of liberal, in any decade, ever. He fits the self-description most liberals have of themself which is always been a lie.

still less of a scumbag that most of congress. Far less credible as well. If you think thats bad, start asking how the prison industry works, how drugs get approved, or oh yeah, legalized insider trading. US Congress.

Plus, the amount of people that died, or litteral wars started by Kim for profit? none.

How many people did Kim have arrested or tortured for getting in his way? none

So, yeah, he's a scumbag. But he's far less dirty then most media figures and US politicians, because his crimes are far smaller in scope, and less destructive in nature?

Assange has his own personal problems, but again, slight compared to what we have running the show. I wouldn't vote for, or support either is a leader, but I do support both as sources of information, because of which they do a better job, and are far more altrusitic than what we have now.

If you start waiting for someone with a perfect record, you'll be waiting a long time with no friends.
