Coopy100 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Notice that the usernames Google and MSN/Bling appear at the bottom on a farily regular basis. Are they actually members or what are they as they seem a rather strange choice for usernames. EDIT: yahoo is on as well. The c**t. Link to comment
360 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 If I remember correctly, it's essentially these companies researching the content for their search engines. Google is the best, don't blame me for having a Google+ account for some weeks because I do. Link to comment

Admin Bebo Posted August 4, 2011 Admin Share Posted August 4, 2011 It's all a bit creepy. Geeky as well I might add. Pesky IT folk at work normally just consult Google if you ask them anything anyway. Charlatans. To get a bit geeky, you can insert meta tags to the site or have a robots.txt file in the root directory of the site which requests that search engines don't index the site, meaning a site does not appear in a search engine at all. In fact, the majority of the internet is like that, and it's call the Deep Net, or Invisible Web because you can't find them on the surface or visit them by normal means. The deep web is many thousand times bigger than what you can see via search engines, and nor are they accessible by normal means. In 2000, it was estimated that the deep Web contained approximately 7,500 terabytes of data and 550 billion individual documents. Estimates based on extrapolations from a study done at University of California, Berkeley in the year 2000, speculate that the deep Web consists of about 91,000 terabytes. By contrast, the surface Web (which is easily reached by search engines) is about 167 terabytes You have to use Tor to access them. This is where the f*cked up shit on the internet is, sites such as child porn, assassination sites, drug order services and where Chinese dissidents hang out, and possibly terrorists. Scary stuff.

Which weirdly takes me back onto the subject of books. Finished this two weeks ago. Ace book and references the hidden web that you speak about a fair bit. The Leopard Now how would one get access to "Invisible Web or Tor" sites. (For reference purposes and the assassination and drug order sites specifically) Link to comment

(For reference purposes and the assassination and drug order sites specifically) Well, even then you can't, not unless you were given the specific address. But there is a site called "The Hidden Wiki" which can only be accessed via tor and is essentially a list of links to those services. Do a google search and you should find screenshots of it. Tor, if anyone doesn't know is an anonymous proxy, that bounces your connection around the world to hide your identity. It was created with the help of the U.S Navy and meant to help those in brutal regimes communicate, such as those in China. The CIA runs a tor node apparently. Link to comment

BrianFaePerth Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 What Jo Nesbo has written is spoiled a little by the advertisement saying he's the next Steig Larsson that's plastered over every book. The books are not similar in style in my opinion. If I was an author I'd rather sell books on my own accord than have people buy it because they think I'm like someone else. Eh doubt that crosses his mind when he looks at his bank balance thanks to Larsson. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Eh doubt that crosses his mind when he looks at his bank balance thanks to Larsson. Fair point. Personally I'd like to be recognised for who I am and not who I am like. Darren Mackie was the next Kenny Dalglish after all. :confused: Link to comment

I'm not going to click any of the screenshots as I imagine there will be quite a few viruses lurking there or thereabouts.

Very interesting stuff indeed, I had Firefox already to go but then I had to go into work. I may give it a go tonight. Bebo - have you got it? Might need your help via Twitter Link to comment

Here's a screenshot of the hidden wiki that you can find by just using google images. Try not to throw up in your mouth. Link I already did.
