Google To Allow Location Service Opt-out

TripleP writes "In a kind gesture from Google, they're allowing wireless AP owners to opt out of their location service. You only have to change your SSID to include '_nomap' as a suffix. Is it just me, or should this 'service' be an explicit opt-in?"

I don't really mind

I don't care that much if Google maps my AP. Because if someone is lost out where I am, they're going to need all the help they can get.

Re:For Facebook and Google+

Hello,

I changed my name to Peter_NoFacebook Jones, but now I also want to opt out of Google+.

I tried various iterations of the following:

Peter_NoFacebook_noPlus Jones
Peter_NoFacebook_NoPlus Jones
Peter_noPlus_NoFacebook Jones
Peter_NoPlus_NoFacebook Jones ...but none of them seem to be working.

Is the "noPlus" flag case-sensitive, and is the ordering specific to either Facebook or Google? What is the delimeter for the Google+ opt-out.

What should I name my daughter? Are these flags compatible with feminine names? I'd like to do this for the rest of my family, by default. Does it matter if I add the flag to our last name? ...I guess they'll have to change their names if they want to opt back in.

He won't answer that because you didn't give him permission to.
