Re: IIRC

Case law says so. other wise the police could just as people break the law for them and there would be no need for the 4th amendment.

kain preacher

Re: IIRC

Problem with that is then any evidence they collected gets tossed. It's like this in the USA. If I break into your house and find drugs, and give the drugs to the police you are screwed. If I break into your house for the sole purpose to find drugs and turn them over to the police that evidence can not be used against you . AS it can be argued that you were acting as an agent for the police and there for would needed a warrant.

Re: Long live...Die poor.

"-If you bought a car online the merchant/seller would collect sales tax per their states laws from you & you would pay registration & title fees in your state of residence. Assuming you bought it from someone who sold more than $10mil worth of car a year (that's a lot of cars)."

Actually you pay the taxes in the state you live in, not the state you bought the car from. In the US you are suppose to pay the sales tax to the state you live in, not the state you buy from. Realistically there is no system set up for this.

Re: Androids are Instantly Obsolete

" Androids is that they are basically unsupported, and once you buy one the typical manufacturer has no further interest in you. If you want a bug fix, buy a new phone (in two years when your contract is up, or right now with a fat roll of cash)"

clearly that's not true. I have gotten bug fixes.

You said you will get the latest OS update the Iphone can handle. my Andriod phones has the latest OS it can handle. Right now my Driod 4 has 4.1.2 on it. Considering that 4.2 is the latest OS I would say that's damn good.

Of course you hole premise was that andriods do not get updates. When I proved that wrong you changed to well does it get the latest up date even thought you said the Iphone gets the latest update it can handle. latest update and latest update it can handle are not the same.

kain preacher

Re: Androids are Instantly Obsolete

I must be hallucinating, cause every Andriod phone that I've own has gotten updates.

kain preacher

Anti trust

You are using google products and it's not quit working right with your browser and you get a pop that says best viewed with chrome as it's code for some non standards HTML that chrome does.
