You're saying they aren't keeping tabs on people's sessions? That they'd love to only look at the number of requests for X resource, and be happy? Nine! Er, something like that. The fun stuff comes in when you see the behavior, I reckon. X people who clicked on Y then clicked on Z, or whatever. If they didn't care, why not set up the logging so the data would be useless to the various people who want that individual information? Because our FREAKING GOVERNMENT wants, very badly, to know everything we're doing, and has been illegally listening in for decades. Only, hell, we've gone ahead and made some of the shit legal, wicked smart people we are... so sad... alas... > It's the sniveling little men with their illusions of grandeur who sit > behind tax-paid desks, who have the power to make Google give them evidence > of the underlying granular private transactions that are the "source code" > of those compiled behaviors -- THAT's who is the problem. Well, maybe, but even THEY aren't the *real* problem. It's US! Can you believe that? Those bastards don't have one iota more power than we give them. We have to hold them to the constitution and whatnot, and frankly, 60% of us, at least, just don't give a shit (I happen to think it's been encouraged, by reptilian underlords or whatnot, but still) . What was that simpsons line : "Oh, very scary, they know what books we check out from the library" -- implying, that since they don't go to the library, they could care less. That's us, man. We the People. Love to blame the pointy-headed fools behind desks, but the Truth, is that Evil prevails when good people do nothing, or some sheet like that. Eh. Guess we could use the same techniques that "they" use to manipulate the populace, and get some good change in there.... or just say screw it, and head on over to Galt's Gulch.
