That means the knife is crap. Get a real knife instead (try the swiss
army ones, for example).

Both are good, though older leathermans tend to have such sharp edges
that you can't actually use them as proper tools.
I use SAK's since I've got two of them for free - no need to spend money
if it's not necessary.

No, but they could spot that a certain IP (some ISPs like to fix your
number) visits quite regularly and spends a lot of time on the galleries
and contact the police about it. Not saying anything would be done about
it, but in this current climate it wouldn't surprise me at all.

I wouldn't want to use an ISP that couldn't keep track of which computers
are connected to their network. I wouldn't use a mobile phone company that
couldn't tell where my phone was at any given time, either. They sort of
*have* to to make the service work, yes?
> OK, so they give the *police* that information. They're not going to

Depends. If the court orders them to give the records to a private company,
then sure. (Like, if someone things you stole something or otherwise
committed a civil crime over the internet, anyone suing you might be able to
get the records.) Certainly true in the USA.
If someone sues you for contract violations in the UK, don't they have the
ability to make you reveal records related to the lawsuit?

But google can tell them. There may be an interface that they can see that,
too.

You would be surprised. If you ever ordered something online, for example,
somebody knows who it was. There are entire systems set up to figure out
which IPs are in what areas based on people with close IP numbers filling
out demographics on cooperating systems. I.e., I have 192.23.45.12, and
someone with 192.23.45.15 fills out a form somewhere that says they live on
my street. There's a good chance 192.23.45.12 is in the same postal code.
That's part of how "geolocation" works.

And lots of places are passing laws requiring ISPs to keep more records, and
turn them over with less provocation and proof than ever.

First, they have to know who you are to validate you're allowed to use their
network, right? You log in with name and password.
Second, they keep it because when the police show up and say "Hey, someone
broke into the NSA servers from IP address x.x.x.x at yy:yy" and the ISP
says "Sorry, can't help you", the ISP gets in trouble.

No the whole crew got one for X many days without a lost time accident. And
every one did carry a knife. If you don't work in an office then it is pretty
much essential.

Quite possibly. The "3 cuts" was an exaggeration of course, but IME any
knife, no matter how sharp initially, quickly becomes as blunt as all
the other knives in the building.
