Facebook: We Didn't Mean to Track You

I can't use that plugin unfortunately because I use Google ads on MAB and like to monitor what they are running.

Not really feeling the new GRUB2 boot loader for some of the new distros though. Last I tried it, chain loading was broken and it took forever to be able to boot multiple versions.

Let me get this straight,

A group of computer nerds who put together the largest social networking site on the planet, didn't know the programs they were using would track people.

Ahem,

[BendtheBar]

I swear it was an accident.

Ahem,

But honestly GL, I had no idea the code I wrote specifically to do something would do it! Sending data to the wrong server, collecting the wrong field, crashing a system; these are accidents. Silently downloading and executing is intentional, malicious, and illegal.

All this ping and pong stuff really confuses me as a coder...whoops!

Now, don't quote me on this, but I recall my dad saying something like the FBI being able to use google as a way of checking in on you. Which would obviously be illegal, but it happens. And they don't need google's permission.

You have to admit though, they'd be pretty bored following most of us...oh look a new weightbelt...aha, those lifting straps, I've been wanting...a great rack...and so it goes...


...no farmville anywhere on the horizon

I'm about as boring as it gets. Lol, I don't even shop online or do anything really. You'd be watching me reply to posts on two different forums, and occasionally on youtube.

And I read uninteresting studies and write-ups about nutriton/training. For the average person who doesn't train, and even a lot of those who do, they are less more than miserable reads.
