Evidently, Google is an evil tool of the government!

have you seen this site?

And creepiest of all is this job ad for working at Google:
http://www.google-watch.org/jobad.html

Which includes the following qualifications:

** Qualifications:

  • Must have current government top security clearance (TS/SI). **

What the hell is going on?
** Duck Duck Goose ** , I demand an explanation!

Holy cow! I would have liked to have read that third link, but the flamin yellow background scorched my retinas!

I think I’m still seeing an odd-colored background as I look around…

:eek:

Mr Brandt, the dude who runs google-watch, is a bit…umm…“eccentric”. Yeah, that’s the word.

Basically he has his panties in a wad over PageRank…ergo his web site…ergo his paranoia…surprised there’s no mention of black helicopters.

On my list of most feared things, just above the Patriot Act, is cheap computer memory.

Well…time to purge my cookies and move to yahoo.

Naw, it is an idiot with a keyboard.

Just did a test with interesting results.

Set IE6 options to no cookies. Did Google search for cookies. Went to cookiescentral.com, the first hit. Google didn’t leave cookies (nor c…c…com) and worked fine.

But SDMB left a cookie while replying to this thread!

Back to IE option and set Security to Max. No more SDMB cookies.
WTF? No cookies doesn’t mean no cookies in the MS universe?

Checked it again after closing all IE windows just to be sure.

Okay test over. Set cookies back on to reply in this thread and set Security to minimum.

Did Google search and on to c…c…com again. Still no cookies!
Where does this evil Google put cookies if not in /windows/cookies ?
(Yep, did refresh in /win…/cook…)

Google lists the Deployment Engineer (with security clearance) job on their google job opportunities page. I can’t say I’m too surprised. Google routinely deals with staggering amounts of information, and their algorithms are good enough to make it look simple. Who knows, they probably even have a few tricks that they could teach Poindexter and his buddies at the Feds Total Information Awareness Program.

You have no privacy in public. It would be best to remember that. Using Google to search for your Hentai porn is equivalent to walking down the street in New York screaming, “I want tentacle rape!”

Well… with substantially less chance of being physically molested by Mayor Bloomberg.

I want my…
I want my…
I want my Anime!

Now look at them mutants, that’s the way you do it
Rape some bimbos for some anime
That ain’t workin’, that’s the way you do it
Money for nothing and your slime for free
Now that ain’t workin’, that’s the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them freaks ain’t dumb
Maybe she’ll rip off your little finger
Maybe she’ll chew through your thumb

We gotta break down alien hiveminds
Rocket launchers right to their brains
We gotta kill these flesh-eating zombies
We gotta kill these respawning dead guys

I shoulda learned to get my rocks off
I shoulda been blessed with tentacles
Look at that mama, she got it stickin’ in the poo-hole
Man we could have some fun
And that’s up there, what’s that? Mutated lizard?
Bangin’ on her bongoes like a chimpanzee
That ain’t workin’ that’s the way you do it
Get your money for nothin’ get your slime for free

We gotta break down alien hiveminds
Rocket launchers right to their brains
We gotta kill these flesh-eating zombies
We gotta kill these respawning dead guys

Now that ain’t workin’, that’s the way you do it
Rape some bimbos for some anime
That ain’t workin’, that’s the way you do it
Get your money for nothin’ get your slime for free
Get your money for nothin’ get slime for free

I like the part where he says Google is exempt from FOIA requests . . . well duh . . .
