I find it interesting that people are upset about Gov. spying the company’s do a far better job 24/7 they know where you are and what you buy and what you looked at. They know your IP address they know what you are running for an OS who your server is you can only hide a tiny little bit behind a router. I'm so angry about a spammer I have filed a formal complaint with the FTC. The new law states that they must provide an op out or unsubscribe fortunately this one is US based so maybe they can step on them. The next step is a personal server. As far as the Gov. spying on me there is not much to find and if there was they would already be asleep from the boredom!

The word "YOU" isn't really correct IMHO. They are spying on a "COMPUTER". Who is using said computer is a guess.

I only speak English, thus Turkish means very little to me and also says that "Big Brother" really now very little about me.

Quite right but they track the IP address and possibly the MAC address Feds, Russians whom ever do the same thing they have no ideal who is at the key board at any given minute but they know damn good and well what I had a look at on Amazon and they know I'm a customer. I can go to all most any users group that has adds and there is a generator, a tire or what ever I looked at on their site following me saying "buy buy you know you want it".

I know they do it, but I run about 3 different script blockers in addition to AVG Internet Security. I don't see much stuff like that. Not that they still aren't doing it and some are getting by my blockers, but I don't see it. You leave better fingerprints on the Internet than you do when you touch something. If they care to go through the trouble, they know everywhere you've been and everything you do online. Some sites make it easy for them, too.

As for the ice/snow (per this thread)......We'll take it! Send it down here! We need it. A lot of it.
