Armed killing machines? I don't see what the concern is. After all, George Bush is our commander in chief. What could possibly go wrong?

Since folks are only just discovering this on Slashdot (which really amazes me), let me take this opportunity to log onto Slashdot (just this time) and give you folks a heads up that you shouldn't relegate your paranoia only to search engines. Many MAJOR news organizations today set cookies that track your visitations and determine which specific stories you read. And they share this information ACROSS NETWORKS to other web service providers. Why? So they can target you with specific advertising that meets your particular interests. It's called "behavioral targeting" and it's quite the rage. I should know. I worked for one of these companies. And believe me, when we worked there, we all learned to ALWAYS DELETE OUR COOKIES at the end of a session.
I've had the opportunity to personally peruse the logfiles these companies use. At the moment, I can tell you that figuring out your personal identity at this moment is a major pain in the ass. But given enough "motivation", someone could figure out who you are if you leave your cookies set for sufficiently long periods of time. Do yourself a favor and delete your cookies every single time you start your browser.

I'd highly recommend StarCalc. It's free and has plenty of plugins. It's really quite excellent. http://www.m31.spb.ru/StarCalc/main.htm
