[ubuntu-uk] Google Privacy
Some on the list may not be aware that Google, for whatever reason, record all search originations. I would be interested to know if searches conducted through the Mozilla Ubuntu search plugin are subject to the same criteria as normal Google searches. Would anyone know if, as I suspect, all searches are similarly recorded by Google? TIA Regards Jeff Fisher -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] Google Privacy
I know that they atleast record what program they have come from, as the Mozilla Foundation get a couple of pennies each time a search is sent from the built-in Firefox Google search. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/

AFAIR, Google log the originating IP addresses and details of the searches for all searches done through their servers, and keep the logs for two years. They do the same for all their on-line services. And they reserve the right to data-mine the information you lodge with them, whether that is search data, Gmail mail, docs, calendars or whatever. They'll reveal your IP address only to law enforcement agencies for justifiable reasons; but analysing all your data gives them a vast amount of saleable information about you, that can be used by Google and the organisations they sell their analyses to, for targetting adverts, services, campaigns, etc, to you without them having to let on exactly who you are. And because we like the services they offer as a result of analysing our data, we ourselves agree to let them do this. (Though I'm not entirely sure that everyone who signs up for Googlemail, Googledocs, Calendar or whatever realises that they are agreeing to let Google analyse their data and make commercial use of the results of those analyses.)

[ubuntu-uk] IRC - does not connect
I thought I'd have a go with IRC. I've set up an account in Xchat-gnome, but it does not make the connection. All I get is Looking up irc.ubuntu.com.. Connecting to chat.freenode.net (209.177.146.34) port 6667.. and then it just hangs. I get the same thing with other channels; and the same thing happens if I try using Pidgin. I can't see anything in my router blocking IRC. I know nothing about configuring IPtables, so these are in the default state AFAIK. I've spent a good while searching the web, to no avail. I'd be grateful for simple, specific advice about how to investigate / fix this.

Using 6665 I can connect using Pidgin. I can't see anywhere to change the default port in Xchat-gnome. Any ideas? Thanks very much for your help with this. It was getting really exasperating!
