Using sipdroid with Google Voice or any SIP provider you can record calls locally, silently and if wanted, automatically. I assume other similar apps (like csipsimple) behave similarly, but I've only used sipdroid personally.

Google Voice alone will record calls if you press 4 during the call, but does not record locally and announces that you are recording to both sides of the call. You have to enable this feature first. See: http://support.google.com/voice/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=115082

As always, be familiar with the laws about recording telephone calls in your jurisdiction. If unsure, don't. ;)

I've never been to Australia, but I have been asked for an ID in EB Games and several other retailers in both the US and Canada. I'm 26, but it's been some time since I could pass for a high school student. However, in at least some of the jurisdictions, sale of certian games to minors results in a fine for both the salesperson and the store's owner/management, from what I understand.

Not really, he's more a carcinogen. The cancer is people who continually respond to these posts. And seriously, how is this worse than GNAA, other than lacking any semblance of a sense of humour? At least they managed to be amusing on a couple of rare occasions.

The saying goes 'don't feed the trolls' for a reason. Ignore it or mod it down, don't reply and call more attention to it.

And here I go making it worse. :)

Never been to southern Ontario, have you?

Seems to be strip malls and fast food all the way down.

ICE is a branch of DHS these days:

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is the principal investigative arm of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the second largest investigative agency in the federal government. Created in 2003 through a merger of the investigative and interior enforcement elements of the U.S. Customs Service and the Immigration and Naturalization Service, ICE now has more than 20,000 employees in offices in all 50 states and 47 foreign countries.

Such a tragedy that your life would be cut so short!

Funnier still that it's modded +5 insightful.

He's the bofh, he does not need your password. Your home directory is gone. The backups? Lets see, intermittent environmental interrupt problem... I can work with this.

Rogers in Canada throttles VPN connections. Lots of pissed off business types, no huge problems for Rogers yet.

It's wireless!

I envy you. Did you manage to forget geocities too?

From the article (I know, bad form) both this headline and the article headline are wrong. Myspace is the 'most hated' being one point below Facebook. Rather interesting how close the two are, though.

Google may end up picking up on this one, with Plus looking like it's gaining momentum.

Or not. Should be interesting to watch, anyway.

Thank you, this comment made my night. :D

I used to work in the hospitality industry as well - the company installed, maintained and supported guest internet access for hotels and transit companies (we had several bus and rail contracts). For the locations with a lot of government or corporate guests, standing orders from the hotel management was to do whatever was necessary to get these guests online. Lockheed-Martin employees were one of our biggest sources of calls, their vpn would not let them reach the captive portals and they had to be passed through manually. Many government employees and contractors had exactly the same problem. Anyone else would be told to contact their IT department to sort that mess out.

Don't underestimate what hotels will do to accomidate what may be one of their largest customer groups. When a company like Lockheed-Martin says fix this or our employees will no longer be staying at your hotel, you fix their complaint, you don't tell them 'but we locked down that functionality' and lose 80+% of your business.
