Sorry to be blunt, but you have no idea how "Targeting" works on Advertising/Telephone co.

When Verizon/Att/Tmo/etc sells your information to Advertising companies, they will "infer" your identity. They do not care if phone SIM have your ID associated. That ID is built from traffic.

If they see DNS requests to real state sites, they may put you in a bucket that says "high income", if they see searches (via DNS hijack to when you search by your addressbar like tmo does) for things like fastfood breakfast delivery, up in the "low income" bucket you go. Also, it will always have your Phone number.

Then those Advertising companies "enrich" this data with data from google or others, and can pin point you by email plus all the correlated data. Happy that you have facebook two factor auth to your SMS now?

It shocks me that people in this forum are completely oblivious to Tracking and think that the aborted "think of the children" law that requires you present an ID to buy a phone line has any importance...

So, to conclude, the traffic here is observed by the proxing entity, by the tel co, etc.

you say that until some terrorist screw a bomb to his head and kill YOUR CHILDREN!!!!1!!

It appears you've been hellbanned for this comment. My condolences.

Just a note, I have show dead on, and your comments are showing up as dead.

calm down, more people have been killed on roads than due to terrorism.

I'd like to point out that this is a huge understatement. Roughly 10 times more people are killed on the roads in each year than have died as a result of terrorism on us soil (or us airplanes) in the past 50 years.

That comment was clearly sarcasm.

unless they sell it all in soda. it's the highest profit margin you can find at such places.

but yeah, i don't think this is the best explanation. But now i can't stop picturing Ronald macdonald sitting at some backroom like vitor corleone.

they will not move a finger. unless you say perpetrator 1 proceeded to kick a cat.

i'd disagree with the 'no matter who comes in'... but in real life, who comes in is decided by who is already in.

and the definition of hacker just went full circle.

tomorrow: handcuff manufacturers call the DMCA over reverse engineering and subsequent pirating of their keys copyright.

everyone with a key is considered suspect. EFF suggest you walk around with several keys to your neighbors houses to enable a doubt defense.

Feds waste millions of tax dollars on 3D printers crackdowns trhu the country, since they can't be used for anything else other than pirating handcuffs keys copyrighted material. Seizes thingverse servers and demand CEO extradition.

You do know they'll use your suggestions as their playbook now, don't you? These days, the US Government seems to be using 1984 as their playbook, so why not this, too.

Don't you dare give them ideas!

$50 is the minimum price those things go for if you buy in quantity.

resellers for low quantity either will charge way more ($70~$99) or will ship from china and it will take weeks~months to get it.

Well in that case, nobody can actually get a $35 Raspberry Pi. You have to pay for tax and shipping (see element14).

not talking about tax+shipping here. but even on alibaba.com those boards sell for $50. unless you buy 1000s

on dealextreme it's a little more than 50 (but they include shipping in the price)

Hello drug mules!

This is going to be the standard response until it has proven itself. Why would they shoot themselves in the foot by choosing such a name?
