Pixiq

how’d she look?

You see her pic. She is in New Hampshire. I was doing the interview by phone from my home.

I was also unaware of startpage. I can’t think of a single thing I am concerned about the government seeing in terms of any searches I’ve done – ever. Regardless of that, I have changed my default search engine in Firefox to StartPage. In a quick test it shows about 1/3 as many results as Google but that’s often 325,000 or some ridiculous number. I’d love to have an iPhone but I won’t use ATT&T and now that “choice” in search engines is brought up (just never thought much about it”, I’ll choose a company that respects my privacy.

Thanks for the find. I will check out startpage and see what it is all about. More privacy is definitely better. Google’s attitude on privacy is shit. They are turncoats only respecting the money.

It appears that the contempt of cop Wikipedia page was compiled by Jeff Conrad, who is also a PINAC reader and commenter.

I’m not necessarily dying to have an avatar, but I’m curious as to how some folks here have avatars and some don’t. I see no place where one could add an avatar.

Santa,

This has to do with the comments plugins that I am experimenting with as well as the accounts people have with different blogs.

For example, my avatar is just my WordPress avatar. I’ve always had it but it used to not come up on the previous comments plugin I was using.

Now it is coming up.

I really don’t know anything else about it because I’m not the tech expert who is dealing with this.

The push against police arresting people taking their picture will only increase with time, as will your prominence Carlos.

I told all my conservative friends about Rubio years ago and said “watch for this guy; he will be big”. I predict the same for you.

What is with the comment moderation?

John,

We’re experimenting with new comment plugins and they all have a tendency to moderate comments, which is not my intention.

We just got rid off one called IntenseDebate which was really IntenseModeration because it was requiring me to moderate every single comment.

Now we are using a different one but obviously it also has a tendency to moderate comments, but not as bad as the last one.

My goal is to get it where all comments are accepted except spam.

Carlos, cool interview.

Can you use a comment plugin that shows the comment number? that’s pretty standard fare on the internet these days and i miss being able to refer back to a comment number rather than looking for the name.

Genewitch,

I thought we had that but I guess not. We’ll get something like that.

Carlos, just playing devil’s advocate, but for somebody who’s badmouthing google on privacy issues (not necessarily incorrectly), you seem to have a lot of tracking widgets on your site… one of which appears to be google analytics. That means you trust google with your site’s visitor list but not your searches?
Just a quick look through your source, and you’re having all of your visitors tracked by google (google analyticator, feedburner), sitemeter (sitemeter.com/specificclick.net), myaffiliateprogram.com (B&H affiliate), getclicky.com, wordpress (stats.wordpress.com), twitter (the InjusticeNews roller), Quantcast (quantcast.com through intensedebate) and any of the logging plugins for wordpress you run and your raw access logs, all of which can be subpoenaed. Just something to think about. Even if google wanted to fight every subpoena it received, lots of other sites track just as much about you and us. The only way to not expose that data is to not record it in the first place.

you don’t need to refer back to comments by a number if you reply directly to a comment
