You could invent false trails to keep them working.

OKOK, I could get used to LINUX and get a ubuntu, but first is there a Firefox version for Linux and a Thunderbird? Second Are you sure that big brother cannot trace you in LINUX? It's a bit enerving maybe using two systems.

and now, please answer if LINUX is really that much safer, maybe some of these IT jobs mentioned above were for data mining in LINUX systems?? If it's safer for let's say two years, then it is really worth while, and does Mozilla run under LINUX??

The discussion between you (jotapay) and pops is really a bit strange you're both telling there is data minig, only that jotapay tells let's make it a bit more difficult for them. Nobody tells here that forums are not public and cannot be traced, but that's work, the government has to pay for it instead of simply opening facebook.
Or you make a completely idiotic facebook page, fiction.
What me worries are that friends could put something about you in facebook, even picture, which is against the law.

I can' t really look at facebook as I don't want to sign up, but I would like to have a look. (edited for this)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Jotapay', 'T')he internet is like the wild west. Anything can happen on it and navigating it safely comes with the territory.

You should see the jobs that the federal government is posting in the IT sector. Some of them are really, really juicy. It is obvious that the government is taking IT and the internet very seriously now, where I think they lagged behind the private sector in the past. Some of these jobs are paying upwards of $100K-150K/year for technical programming/development jobs. That is a great salary for a good developer in today's market.

Yes

I'm sure glad I never joined Facebook. I try to minimize my interaction with corporations and I try to strictly adhere to traffic laws & tax rules and don't vote to minimize my interaction with government.

They should do a thing on Lost where Ben Linus reveals that he compiled all his information on the Oceanic passengers by data mining Facebook!

I think I'll join up with the group. Got my own profile too.

Not really concerned about what people know about me and if the government do wanna monitor me then cool coz they're wasting time.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Jotapay', 'T')his is a video about where Facebook comes from and what information they harvest about you. It was started with seed money from a venture capital firm that was created by the CIA. Facebook's board of directors has members who used to be high ranking officials at DARPA and the Department of Defense. Check it out: http://blip.tv/file/1613641

What with all the news/hype surrounding a possible Google and Twitter merger/partnership/whatever, I thought it might be interesting to check it out.

So. Anyone on Twitter?

Isn't this just mobile blogging?

Some BBC journalists are on Twitter and we're encouraged to visit their profiles to see what they are thinking at that exact minute. Whats the big rush?

24 Hour media goes even madder.

So it is very effective for conjuring up mobs?

Interesting.

[lowem]

Well I wasn't exactly thinking of inciting a mob. Just thought that since I'm already blogging, why not try microblogging. I've got my SMS to Twitter set up with somebody who's kindly provided a local gateway, and I've got my tweets feeding through to Facebook as well as my blog posts that feed through into tweets.

I've barely begun to explore the various things that can be done with it
