Since individual users don’t have to contribute accurate data to people collecting *this* type of data, why not just give them a false email address? I also have a number of one-time-use VISA numbers that I got from my Visa provider’s website.

A forearmed consumer…

Life recorders will be the end of the police state as we know it. Right now it is your word against the cop’s. If there are 57 view points of the behavior and the incident then suddenly there is a neutral third party in the conversation. The reason cops (here, in the US) like to carry recorders in their cars is that it increases conviction rates and reduces lawsuits. But that is a pretty narrow set of police officers. Imagine how much more effective the policing would be at a trade protest, for example, if there were 57 recordings of a dirty hippie (but I repeat myself) throwing poo at the officer before he clocks him one.

It also occurs to me that it might kill the sex trade.

Finally, can we not have everything European over here? I work in a mega-corp ™ and we struggle with the crazy patchwork of over-restrictive data privacy laws every day. Frankly, from what I can tell, our customers in the US aren’t any more bothered than the ones we have in Germany.

So this cat wrote code to catch the “none” and uncheck the other boxes and code to catch a check and set “none” to 0. And since if you set one radio button to 0 it usually requires you to set another to 1 he had to catch that too. Neat.
