Have You Noticed? Wiki gets you watched; you have now made their lists.

I noticed a lag too (as in taking more than a minute to load) when I was looking at news about wikileaks. I thought it was because I had too many windows open, so I closed them all but one. It didn't make a difference. Once I closed that window and went to a different website all was normal again.

to your computor to snoop
1.Open Windows Explorer and navigate to windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts (note: Win98 users may find the hosts file in the windows folder)
2.Open the hosts file in Notepad – hosts file does not have an extension
3.Add the following two lines to the hosts file and save
127.0.0.1 www.google-analytics.com
127.0.0.1 ssl.google-analytics.com

•Save and close the file
That’s it. You will no longer be tracked by any website using Google Analytics

There's just too many people checking it out for any authorities to deal with. There are more than one million WL friends on FaceBook alone. The answer is to keep looking, keep linking, and give them total support... our safety is in our numbers.

of data mining apps, just google it.

I think that their technology is a little beyond some entries in a host file, it would not hurt though for some of the lesser intrusions that are out there.
