I'm not concerned the Sony hackers might have my CC number. After all, Sony surely took that perfectly usable data and hobbled it in such a way that it only works with their own products and services.
That's just what they do.
Are you suggesting you should be able to work at Microsoft for years developing code and when you leave, you have the right to take every line of code you wrote with you and sell a copy of it to the next company you work for?
Surely you jest.
It's a good thing they outsourced the voting. If they tried to handle it through the wiki, you'd have a good chance of the whole site being renamed Colbertpedia.

1.6MBps here. That's better than most other Comcast downloads these days (even though I'm paying for 16MBit).
I used to use an app that did precisely this on my previous Windows smartphone. It didn't use GPS data but allowed locations to be defined based on tower codes and relative strengths.
The iPhone could have this as well if you could run background apps and access the network stack without jailbreaking.
Audi and several other car makers do this to a lesser extent. If you want the "performance tuned" car computer software, you can go to a dealer and spend several hundred dollars to have them flip a switch.
You can enable a trial version of this performance tuning on your own that automatically disables after X miles.
Work expands to fill the time available. -- Cyril Northcote Parkinson, "The Economist", 1955
