-Caveat Lector- .... Anyone out there. If you want to see who is censoring your site on the internet just insert a code into each of your pages so you can use that code to quickly pull up your site in the Search Results. >At this point you are assuming the meta-crawlers automatically re-index the site using the new keywords. This is not the case. I do much web-design, and often it takes 2 weeks to a month for refreshed pages to be re-indexed using the new information. This is not censorship, but simply a result of the daunting task of keeping an accurate index of the billions of web-pages out there in the public domain. It is interesting to note that the Google engine was actually used by crackers (I'm not using the term "Hacker" here purposefully, as by definition taking someone elses tools and exploiting them is not in essence "Hacking") to index some private domains too (ie. DOD, MIL, GOV, etc.) I read and interpret my own web-logs, and know when people come and go. My site gets re-indexed once every two months by Google, which is about the same frequency as the other search engines. from http://www.searchenginewatch.com/awards/2001-winners.html#webmaster >From http://www.google.com/corporate/facts.html >From http://news.com.com/2011-1088-916882.html?tag=rmrftr Please forward the information you have about Google being owned by Yahoo, as I can find no mention of it anywhere. They apparently own 5-6% of Google, which I wouldn't exactly call a majority stake. As far as the whole Cisco IOS fiasco is concerned... If I were to obtain the source-code to Windows and somehow tweaked the OS and redistributed it, Microsoft wouldn't support that. Same with Red Hat, same with Mandrake, same with FreeDOS, same with EROS, same with beOS, same with Solaris, same with open/VMS, same with... well, you get the point. There has to be some point of control for the maintenance and distribution of software, and the publisher more often than not will determine what that point of control is. If I came up with some code that say doubled download throughput, it isn't beyond the scope of possibility that I could've tweaked the kernel elsewhere to open up a backdoor or allow the delivery of a Trojan program at some point. Should that be freely distributed to everyone? While the author of the malware may think that is a good idea, I don't think the publisher would agree. At this point you can plainly see where the "They're all out to get me!" mentality is reversed upon the publisher. So SBC tweaked IOS on their routers. I tweak IOS on my routers. There are finite and observable things which occur between that strange black-box you have your machine plugged into and the outside world. If you do not have an understanding of these things and they frighten you, I apologize. However, you have to realize that (from what I've read on IS Security Trade websites and in industry newsletters) a good deal of the broadband (above ISDN - speed or 128k) products connected to the internet are compromised out-of-the-box by the ignorance of their users. The manufacturers are getting better at sealing these vulnerabilities up with their default settings, but there is already a dearth of compromised routers out there with lots of bandwidth. These compromised routers have been used by script-kiddies to essentially shut down some transit routers in the past year via massive packet floods, etc. (see www.grc.com) You just have to know what you are doing when you install the darn things (the directions suck, especially for the layman) and have a hub, packet sniffer, and the associated hardware installed. People have a misguided conception that these things are safe out-of-the-box. Of greater concern to me is the proliferation of 802b wireless, and some of the shoddy installs which have been found nationwide (see www.airsnort.com). This is not the fault of the manufacturers, as they are just giving us what we want. We want to roam freely from room-to-room with our laptops as we surf the net, or not bother with pulling some of that pesky CAT-5 cabling through the house. Meanwhile, someone like me is checking their e-mail and surfing the web while parked on the street in front of your house. (Oh, by the way... thanks for leaving that My Pictures directory shared... I loved those shots of your wife tied to the banister!) People fear what they don't understand, and rightly so. Hence, I commend Mr. Moser for somewhat misguidedly bringing up an important issue. However, cyber-security is the responsibility of the end user and I think it is a point that cannot be argued. People are being given some pretty big toys to play with here. I can remember when the thought of having my own personal fractional T1 made me salivate. The infrastructure hasn't kept up with the bandwidth demand leaving it vulnerable to disruption, and having a bunch of data cannons out there ready to go off... not good. -franc If it does not come up then you will know right away who is censoring and who is not.

When one screams "Yahoo is run by the Illuminati" coupled with an inane fear of floating-point arithmetic, I start to wonder... There once was a time when people felt it necessary to find cover during an eclipse too.
