There are (were, cheers Adblock) multiple items on this page that looked to pretty much uniquely identify me with FB, via facebook.com and their content distribution network. Fuck knows what they can tell if you enable javascript, accept cookies, send referers, or have a facebook account.

This thing, for example:
http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.menyhart.net%2Fsoftware%2Fseamonkey-cookies%2F&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=35&_fb_noscript=1

From the above URL FB can tell exactly what site I am looking at, and what page, and tell I don’t allow javascript. If I had slack cookie settings, and was a facebook user, FB would know I had been here whether I clicked like or not.

These like buttons, and other FB shit is all over the web these days, and they seem much worse than Google – although is that opinion just the consequences of Google’s PR?

These entities want to know about us so that they can make adverts that are more psychologically convincing. They want to make us accept social and political messages that we may otherwise reject. Giving any data to these people just maintains the status quo of the world. And that status quo means things like the recent world financial collapse was purely the consequence of the actions of a relative few individuals. The same kind of individuals who invested 500mill in Facebook. Those people are not any of your friends, and you definitely don’t want them to be the middlemen to your friends.

Thanks for uncovering this detail, wouldn’t have been able to do this without it.

In other words, will the USA regulated almonds that we have access to, perform the well known miracles (preventing cancer and then some) that purely raw almonds have become a legend for?

I had to “cd” into the directory because it didn’t work with the whole path. But it worked.

Thanks again.
