The program is over, so fork it.
It's hardly surprising they'd cork it.
As usual, much
Was plain out-of-touch:
They'd focused on Friendster and Orkut.

Facebook doesn't work anymore?
 
2012-01-26 03:41:21 PM
Yea, sure, move along.

The level of stupid that the media chooses to repeat is nearing critical mass.

Did you hear the one about the USA is cutting military spending for the next ten years?
Yea, wow, 500M over 10 years. Chump Change, first of all, but an easy target to produce figures indicating "success" all while increasing actual moneys wasted.

Just stupid.

there is a vid on YT showing FaceBooks biggest data mining customers. the customers that aren't obviously uncle sam are oddly enough top-staffed by personnel that worked for uncle sam previously.

i don't know if that vid is a conspiracy troll, but it's scary to watch.

You know, you could easily solve the problem of the FBI "spying" on you via Facebook by not going on Facebook. Or Twitter.

Back in my day, we had "social networks." They're called "friends" or "acquaintances."

MaxxLarge is on fire today, damn ...
 
2012-01-26 03:51:39 PM
So it's now ok to talk about the bodies buried in the crawlspace.
 
2012-01-26 03:51:57 PM
And I'm sure we can take their word for this since they are such an honest, trustworthy group.
 
2012-01-26 03:52:48 PM
It says the application should provide information about possible domestic and global threats superimposed onto maps "using mash-up technology".

If by domestic threats you mean pester control then by all means.

2012-01-26 04:05:06 PM
By "domestic threats," they mean peaceful protests. Seriously, do terrorists post threats on Facebook before they act? Of course not. This is yet another way to monitor citizens and make lists of malcontents to target for police harassment.
 
2012-01-26 04:08:34 PM
Do they even need to do this when criminals themselves post pictures of their little criminal activities already?

I bet they'll be using this sooner or later just to find protesters and people who disagree with popular politics and put a stop to peaceful protests.

Yes. You're best bet is to shut down your computer now, throw it out the window, and never touch the internet again.

It also highlighted words it looked out for. These include "gangs", "small pox", "leak", "recall" and "2600"

I learned about Combat from a 2600.

Glad someone decided to leak this. The governments are liked armed gangs. I hope we can recall every last one of 'em. Also, small pox.

I guess this is when being able to spell helps - the FBI is looking to develop a social media scraping application, they aren't scrapping their plans to make a social media scraping application.

This has nothing to do with that huge data mining center outside of salt lake city that was built by the nsa.

I don't know what you're trying to be, but your posts make my head hurt. I'm sorry man, but it's off to the ignore pile, for my own sanity.
