Surprised?

Not at all, more surprising would be to find what we have monitoring us in the US...

On the post: Nicaragua Accidentally Invades Costa Rica, Blames Google Maps

Jim Gaudet ( profile ), 05 Nov, 2010 @ 09:40am

Living in Costa Rica

It's funny that all of sudden there is news about Costa Rica in the "tech" world. Any news, will get people trying to get that traffic.

But thanks though, because since this crap with Nicaragua, I am getting a lot more traffic to my site..

What else would you expect from us?

On the post: AT&T's Ridiculous Argument Against Google Voice

Jim Gaudet ( profile ), 15 Oct, 2009 @ 10:52am

You get it

Wouldn't it be great to see Google take AT&T out of their index?

I know so many people that would go to Google, type in at t and then go to their page. I bet they get more than half of their traffic from Google, they might want to be careful.

I am a ComCast User

Want to hear something funny??? They just updated our speeds for FREE to 32MB DOWNLOAD and 12MB UPLOAD.

If they are not trying to MAKE you go over the limit, I don't know what they are doing....

Jim Gaudet ( profile ), 08 Jul, 2009 @ 06:27pm

NAT and Security

With people opening up their wireless networks and having multiple PC's behind one IP address, there is no real way to say who did what.

What, force people to be better than hackers??

Jim Gaudet ( profile ), 26 Jun, 2009 @ 12:51pm

Wow, only WOW

I could requote so many lines as you have. I mean, doesn't the government (banks) run the "media" as it stands? What we are used to being the "news"?

That's gone with Real Time.. How can the GOV dismiss something that millions have seen and is live. They have no time to get rid of that information..

CNN, Fox, any news site now is has less meaning to me...

Whatever really,

They got what they needed, he can't get in trouble for what's on his computer now, but they know what was there and that's all they wanted, I am sure...

Get your updates

What's wrong with having the latest AV and updates? I fix problems from viruses all the time because someone didn't have the time to update their computer...

Lazy bastards...

Agree, sort of

I don't think they should block the traffic, I mean traffic is traffic, and they have to leave the site somehow...Another link somewhere, hopefully an ad.

This isn't a new system though. You want a lot of links for Google to like you and you want "word of mouth" advertising (friends giving out your links) to drive your business.

That's the problem. Why think about it when I can just ask someone else?

Let's just slow down...

NSA Does this already

Honestly, I am sure that the NSA is doing all this now, they would just be legal now..

On the post: Most People Don't Realize Their ISPs Are Already Spying On Them

Jim Gaudet ( profile ), 02 Oct, 2008 @ 08:09am

Let's worry more about what the GOV does with our info

Have you heard of the Polk Database? I worked for a company that paid for a copy of this, which is available every quarter.

This info has everything you want to know about a person, and an IT guy with access can find anything. All the data on where you live, how much money you make what kind of car you own. EVERYTHING!!

Mix that with what the ISPs have (OUr click data and where we visit) and you know everything you need to know about a person.

Jim Gaudet ( profile ), 29 Sep, 2008 @ 07:17am

What happened to free speech?

Honestly, because now I reach more people when I talk or type, it is a problem. If I were only allowing people to listen to me in a small forum there would be no problem.

Say what you want to say, just don't say something like;

(put persons name here) killed (put other persons name here) without proof. That's wrong, but you should be able to state an opinion like,

If She/He killed them, then She/He is a dirty f uc king pig.
