Have you ever think how social networks [like this] track and identify users [apart of login, obviously]? are there privacy related problems? i dont know all the way they do it but i know one of those methods, described in this doc by MIT http://people.csail.mit.edu/edmond/projects/keystroke/keystroke-biometrics.pdf the paper is old, so you can image how many improvements have come in these last years.you could possibly change account, login using your friends account, create a new account and use it in an internet cafe'but it is unuseful: they can yet identify you using a biometric parameter: keystroke.it's like a fingerprint that never leave youa possible remedy is cut and paste (write in a text editor, like notepad, then paste) but remember: DO NOT EVER USE DIRECT TYPEING into a comment box (on facebook, myspace or whatever else)you can note keystroke biometrics measurement in action simply by posting comments on facebook using a not too fast computer.i tried on a 1Ghz PC and i was able to type much more fast than PC displaying letters. this was because of some javascript software calculating the typeing pattern.make people know about this technology!let circulate the info!and now: 2 interesting films on bittorrent p2p network: http://btjunkie.org/torrent/Vivir-la-Utopia-Living-Utopia-VhsRip-Esp-Sub-Eng-VhsRip-Esp-Mp3-Sub-Eng-TNT-Village/5324ef7b198ccd82aa92cc4be3f14f07252ab8e491ce
