Duncan: lol, indeed you are right! Back then I was signed up as [email protected] (lol, I wonder if that old FreeBSD box is still around) and only went by Sabre. I had just started college when I joined. Long live the 300A indeed! (and I even remember OC'ing the 486-DX2's ;)
Anthony: Sadly, we are truely in the "information age" where information = $$$$. About the only thing that could concevably protext us is the laws, but when the politicians have their purses lined with the very people that want our information, this will not happen. There is a price on everything now. Johsua makes a good point: Encryption can certainly protect you to a certain extent. Keep in mind though that no matter what you do, a certain amount of information is bound to be available. Even encrypted messages can be analyzed for information. Unless you plan to stop using credit cards, store cards (CVS/Giant/etc. savings cards), and public communications, you're pretty much leaking constantly. There are companies who make huge money tying together all of this data to develop "personalities profiles". Take a look at Netenzza and Palantir for instance :) ---- Julian On Fri, Sep 23, 2011 at 1:13 PM, Thane Sherrington < [email protected]> wrote: > Oh, and the new Google Image search is really scary (and cool, of course.) > :) > > T > > >
