[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 473180, member: 11791"] <shudder> There are, of course, two sides to the story. An app like this just [I]begs[/I] for being spoofed. Its gonna happen. All sorts of "false alarms" are tagged, to the point that the original info gets "lost" in the volume. Or someone figures out how to put the actual location "out" by a certain distance... so people only [I]think[/I] they know where you are... or so YOU think people know and they really don't... Sorry. I don't trust computers. AT ALL. No, rephrase that. I don't trust PROGRAMMERS. Especially not those writing code for PCs and wireless devices... and the internet. Devious, twisted minds, those are. (Like any other industry, there is a "dark" side to programming. Some insiders know about it, some don't. I'm just twisted enough that I can see where these things are likely to end up. Avoided learning how, on purpose... its just too temptin!) [/QUOTE]
