Does anyone else remember that cashiers used to have these books to look up and see if your credit card was a bad credit card.
yes! I totally remember those.
Isn't it pretty common practice (or better word) for all communication on a company owned pager/cell/blackberry to be essentially owned by that company? And if so, why is there an issue of them being illegally obtained?
the government still has to go through channels to get them, i.e. a subpoena or a search warrant. I have to admit that I really haven't been paying attention, so I don't know if that's the issue.
We were talking on one of my other boards about how politicians can't be faithful, and it was better in the good old days when there was a lower divorce rate, and one of my friends made an interesting pont. She was talking about this with her father, who's in his 70's, and he said that the only reason that divorce rates were lower is that people didn't bother to get divorced. A man would just not come home one day, and move to a new town. Getting a divorce was expensive, and the newly single woman often didn't have the money, so didn't bother.
