I know about all those (Network Analyst). This was specific about FB tracking me across sites. Clearing Cookies on a regular basis and using a variety of computers, most of which are behind a NAT wall and similarly configured workstations.
The issue is that most of my browsing is anonymous, convoluted and obfuscated. If they can track ME from that, Kudos.
For instance, right now, I'm using two different computers each has three browsers on them, which I use depending on what I'm looking at. Not to mention, my phone which has its own Browser/Use.
FB isn't tracking me except on FB. No way it could.
You didn't suggest the wealth distribution with relation to Government Influence in matters of Wealth. Rich Democrats love telling poor people how much they are "one of the people", and how the "Rich Republicans" are out to screw everyone especially people with high pigmentation of skin.
Sorry, but Socialism's cry for "Justice" is no a cry for justice, but more control by the wealthy. Real justice comes from fair laws that apply to rich and poor equally, and not by the caste system we have in place now.
I'm Libertarian for a reason, because a person's wealth (or lack their of) should be of no concern of anyone, including the government.
They can't track me. I use one browser for FB and another for my internet stuff, and a third one for sites that don't work right with the other two.
In addition, I use a "fake" FB account to play "games" and I don't play games with the other. I know plenty of people who "poison" the well with the number of profiles they use just to farm or city or mafia or whatever. And if my anecdotal evidence is any indication, there is a lot more of this going on that FB is willing to admit.
They can collect all the data they think they want on me. Somethings they "know" about me are clearly false, and they don't know who I've slept with last night.
Until I see an ad targeted at ME (unique personality) I'll not worry. And the company that bought that ad targeting ME (unique personality) will be sorely disappointed.
Maybe not one specific one, but we're being forced to buy something because people in the government knows better than the rest of us. And the whole thing is a setup for Government control of an entire sector of the economy.
One of my colleagues sent me a pic similar to that, from a real client with the caption "What is wrong with this picture". I looked at it for a few seconds and said...
"It doesn't have Y! or Google Toolbars?"
Noticed that on this one too.
Also, I call Bogus, as it is running vmware tools. Nice try though.
Exploitation is not caused by "stupid" it is caused by evil. Know the difference. If stupid was illegal, I'd lock you up for not knowing the difference.
I was gonna retort one of my favorites* and link it to a Wikipedia Article about it... but I didn't find one.. but I found this instead. Geek Goodness !
Technological Nanny State is where someone else is responsible for your stupid decisions. This is brought to you by Trial Lawyers and other (D) party associates on the left, and Big Corps and other (R) party associates on the right.
Nanny State is by trying to fix personal irresponsibility and stupidity through laws. You can't fix stupid.
When the IT staff knows more about Management's Job (who, what, when, why and how) than the manager knows about IT's job (not really even in the ballpark) then there is a problem. Most IT people I know are very knowledgeable about a great number of topics and fields because they have to in order to be good at IT, while Managers often don't have to know anything except how to screw people to get to the top (either figuratively or literally or both).
Both have a superiority complex, and both is earned, just in different skill sets.
As a BOFH, I'm also keenly aware that I'm Smarter than many in Admin and use it to protect myself from backstabbing that comes with management. I also realize that I'm not Management material, even though I could play their games better than they can, I don't like myself when I do. I realized many years ago, that I am too honest to compete with lying weasels.
Funny thing is, people know who the lying backstabbing weasels are and we tend to route around them. No need to talk to management in those cases, it just arms them against you. You do your job, document everything, you tell them why their pet project won't work before it gets implemented, you work hard implementing their hair brained ideas and when it blows back on you, unleash your paper trail.
And when they try to implement you as sabotaging their project, you realize how screwed you could be if you didn't work hard and document everything. That is when you break out the vendor's email saying "this thing wasn't designed the way Management wants to implement it, it won't work." Then you can smugly smile and say, "I knew this back when, but Management didn't want to listen."
Then they fire you (too smug), and promote the idiot manager to VP of something (hoping he can do less harm further up the chain).
GE/NBC/MSNBC spent tons of money and pundit time getting Obama Elected, so this must be the payback they were looking for, to dump the network and the only company big enough and positioned enough to acquire NBC(Universal) is Comcast.
The FCC and SEC had to pretty much agree to it, in spite of the objections of people worried about media control. Soon as I saw the proposal, I knew it would go through.
And people think there is a difference between (R) and (D). Meh
What are you, some sort of Religious prude? Come on, really get with the times. Not only are you supposed to do it public, you are supposed to use video cams and upload your exploits to PornTube or other video sharing sites. No judging going on there, as whatever you're into, you're not alone!
For the sake of your safety and mental health, it's better to give the anonymous tip, than to become a witness. If you get too involved, you may become a suspect, rather than just a witness.
This is why our society is going to hell in a handbasket. Chickenshit pussies afraid of the boogie man of bad people might do something bad.
If you're a real man, stand up and be counted. Real men will protect the innocent and defenseless with everything they have, including their life. I know I would.
I have no room for child predators (real ones), nor pussies that hide behind self preservation at the expense of taking one off the streets.
Cellular and Wireless are the same basic tech. Cells are Regulated Frequencies and Wireless is not. Cellular has larger range between "cells" while wireless is limited range between AP. Wireless is usually not managed well, while Cellular is (more or less).
Arbitrary starting points for measuring gains or losses can affect the perceived gains and losses. I remember the global cooling scare of the 1970s, where the great prognosticators were suggesting that the world was going into an Ice Age.
Sorry, but going from "Ice Age" to "Boiling Seas" in 30 years doesn't make me convinced they know what they're talking about.
There is no debate, because the chicken littles AGWers are shills for the enviromental wacko socialists. The lack of debate is magnified by pointy heads in academia who think they are smarter than everyone else. It is about as meaningful as the exact number of crickets are chirping tonight.
See?? That's is how you craft a nice retort that is completely without any merit, and yet have all the anger points and snide dismissive comments that invoke emotional responses needed to stifle discourse.
How you got modded "insightful" for a post that absolutely no insight at all is beyond me.
"Reporters looking for a meaningless scandal or Fox "news" trying to wreak the opposition are doing the same thing with the same intent as much as possible within the law "
I wonder why people like you have a bad view of FOX while completely ignoring CBS and Dan Rather. When you start bashing CBS (MSNBC and the rest) for their clear bias towards the (D) as much as FOX has bias towards (R) then I'll listen. It is pretty transparent bias.
Remember, it was the MSM that blamed SP for the recent shooting in Phoenix. The Shooter was just nuts, and not part of anything related to SP, but I don't see any of them making apologies for jumping the gun there.
Bias? NOOOOOO/sarcasm'
BTW, I have no use for SP. She is just an amusing foil for the leftwing MSM press who are just as stupid as her.

What are you, some sort of Religious prude? Come on, really get with the times. Not only are you supposed to do it public, you are supposed to use video cams and upload your exploits to PornTube or other video sharing sites. No judging going on there, as whatever you're into, you're not alone!
