Just thought I'd point out that the Oregon Road User Task Force has touted "Verizon" in the public/private partnerships for taxing your vehicles. (private companies who would handle the "details" of gathering the mileage/GPS tax info then "promising" to destroy it after 30 days..)
http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/HWY/RUFPP/docs/itemb_rucpp_develop_progress_rept_052212.pdf (page 2) And of course because these idiot government bureaucrats make a few lines in some bill, they think these companies will destroy this valuable archival info (which incidently also shows you paid your bill....) Of course we all know that Verizon would never ever in a million years give up your private information on where/when you drive because they promise not to sell that valuable info. That would be a violation of your privacy policy that they swore they'd never break for their phone customers. They'd never do that.........right ?? On a lighter note, here's President Obama's letter to Verizon Customers regarding the NSA data gathering http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/borowitzreport/2013/06/a-letter-to-verizon-customers.html Also at the risk of going off-topic I might suggest that the NSA data center is about 10,000,000,000 times too big just to hold "metadata" for calls which would take a few terabytes. (2000 calls/year * 300,000,000 callers * 5 bytes(10 nibbles) /call = 3 terabyte or about $99 at office depot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_Data_Center Metadata ...yeah right ------------------------------------------------------------- If we don't halt population growth with justice and compassion, it will be done for us by nature, brutally and without pity - and will leave a ravaged world.
