Web Traffic

from what I gather owners of websites get monthly reports of their visitors (web traffic or something like that). what I would like to know is do they get detailed reports (such as IP addresses with names) or merely the number of people who have visited their website? and should the case be that they do get IPs as well, can they snoop around into visitors` computers (as in see what`s on their HDD; can they, say, see what movies one has in a folder?)?
thank you for your time.

Webservers create all sorts of logs, these include the IP address of every visitor to the website. If you host a website on someone elses servers then it’s up to the host whether they release those logs to the website owner.

There are also third party statistics gatherers that people can place on their websites and these too collect the IP address of the visitors.

There is a load of rubbish talked about what you can and can’t do once you have someone’s IP address. Getting someone’s IP address is a tiny step towards actaully doing something malicious to a computer at that address. In fact, as an answer to those people who say you should never give your IP address to anyone, here’s mine – 71.171.230.236 Do your worst!

So the answer to the second part of the question is no, it takes a lot of work to go snooping around someone’s computer even if you have the IP address and they can’t see what’s on your computer.

To further let you understand what happens when you go to any website, there is a lot of information that is passed between your computer and theirs. This information includes…

IP address of the client computer
ID of the client computer
UserID of the client computer
Date / time when the server finished the file request – day/month/year:hour:minute:second zone
Method used for the file request
File requested
Protocol used for the request
Status returned from server to client
File size returned to client
File referrer – This gives the site that the client reports having been referred from
User agent – This is the identifying information that the client browser reports about itself.

I run my own webserver and people are foerver trying to break out of the server directories into the system directories but so far, no one has – i’ve been running that server for 11 years.

If you’re interested in what these server logs look like then you can view parts of mine (don’t worry, the URLs are safe and I make no money from any of my visitors, I refuse to put any advertising on my websites) …

http://brisray.com/comp/cwserver2.htm – shows what the raw server logs look like. I’ve also included parts from my error logs and show where people have been trying to snoop around my server
http://brisray.com/utils/alogs/ and http://brisray.com/utils/wlogs/ show the server logs after they’ve been put through an analyzer program.

Google is testing robot cars that navigate interstates and city streets without a human touch
Published: Sunday, October 10, 2010 | 6:54 PM ET
Canadian Press Daniel Wagner, The Associated Press
WASHINGTON – Google Inc. is road-testing cars that steer, stop and start without a human driver, the company says.

The goal is to "help prevent traffic accidents, free up people’s time and reduce carbon emissions" through ride sharing and "the new ‘highway trains of tomorrow,’" project leader Sebastian Thrun wrote Saturday on Google’s corporate blog.

The cars are never unmanned, Thrun wrote. He said a backup driver is always behind the wheel to monitor the software.

It’s not the first signal that Google wants to change how people get from place to place. In a speech Sept. 29 at the TechCrunch "Disrupt" conference, Google CEO Eric Schmidt said "your car should drive itself. It just makes sense."

"It’s a bug that cars were invented before computers," Schmidt said.

The cars have travelled a total of 140,000 miles on major California roads without much human intervention, according to Google’s corporate blog.

The Mountain View, Calif.-based technology giant has sent seven test cars a total of 1,000 miles without a human touching the controls at all, the New York Times reported. The newspaper published a report on the cars earlier Sunday.

The cars know speed limits, traffic patterns and road maps, Thrun’s posting says. They use video cameras, radar sensors and lasers to detect other cars.

Driving between Northern California and Southern California, the cars have navigated San Francisco’s curvy Lombard Street, Los Angeles’ Hollywood Boulevard and the cliff-hugging Pacific Coast Highway, the blog says.

Engineers consider the cars safer because they react more quickly than humans, the New York Times said. It said Google has not revealed how it hopes to profit from the research.

The company is flush with cash, though, and pushing numerous projects such as the cars that are unrelated to its core business, said Rob Enderle, principal analyst with the Enderle Group in San Jose, Calif.

"The word ‘focus’ is a word Google has never learned," Enderle said, pointing to projects involving electricity distribution, vehicle design and artificial intelligence. He said cars that can drive themselves would allow commuters more time to surf the web, something Google would encourage.

Still, Enderle said, industry leaders such as Volkswagen and Intel Corp. are working on similar technology. He said "driverless" vehicles will make computers more like the robots imagined in the 1920s, rather than the tabletop data processors we use today.

The blog says the technology is being developed by scientists who were involved in an earlier set of unmanned car races organized by the government’s Defence Advance Research Projects Agency.

I just needed to answer some few questions about this:

Identify the significance of the current event. Why is it important to know about the story?

Identify the relevance to curriculum. How does it relate to science and why?

If Google makes car which drives without driver, it makes sense. This is a news and people are waiting for such scientific developments.

Science has provided us many tools and facilities. These have not been conceived, developed and implemented in a day or week or months. It has taken years, sometime centuries. If we have to grow as human being on earth, we have to have story.

Driver less car is a great idea. If company like google change its Portfolio to enter in automobiles, it makes news from various points of view, Commercial, social, and political.

If it is introduced in course curriculum, it makes further sense. Today when Class X students study Windws 95 in all schools in India, IT MAKE LEARNING SENSE. IT IS DIFFERENT THAT WE HAVE TO UNLEARN THOSE OUTDATED FEATURES OF WINDOWS.

Let our young students learn drier less CARS!!

One of the many victims of Andrew Breitbart’s ACORN video hoax has filed suit against pseudo-pimp James O’Keefe and pseudo-ho Hannah Giles. Former San Diego ACORN office employee Juan Carlos Vera, who was falsely portrayed in a heavily edited videotape as conspiring with O’Keefe and Giles to traffic underage girls across the Mexican border, is suing both of the right-wing filmmakers, seeking $75,000 in damages under California’s privacy statutes.

Filed last week in the U.S. District Court in San Diego, Vera’s complaint claims that O’Keefe, Giles and up to 20 unnamed parties violated his "reasonable expectation of privacy" by conspiring to secretly videotape him and then posting the tapes on the Internet without his consent, causing him to lose his job and other damages.

The notorious tape featuring Vera — with his friendly smile and hesitant English — was aired repeatedly on Fox News and cited as proof of the most incendiary charge against ACORN by conservative Web impresario Breitbart: namely, that the anti-poverty organization was in fact a criminal conspiracy to promote teenage prostitution.

But as California Attorney General Jerry Brown discovered when he investigated the ACORN matter last spring, the actual meaning of the Vera tape was severely distorted by dishonest editing to suggest that he had agreed to help smuggle young girls for O’Keefe’s mythical brothel. To obtain unedited versions of the tapes from O’Keefe, Brown gave him and Giles immunity from any criminal prosecution under the state privacy statutes.

What really happened in the San Diego ACORN office, as Fox News and many other outlets neglected to report, was that immediately after O’Keefe and Giles departed, Vera called a cousin who is a detective in the National City Police Department to report the planned crime. Police detectives later confirmed Vera’s effort to local news outlets and to the California attorney general’s office. When Vera learned that O’Keefe and Giles were hoaxing him, he again called the police, who terminated their investigation.

"The evidence illustrates," said Brown when he released his report last April, "that things are not always as partisan zealots portray them through highly selective editing of reality. Sometimes a fuller truth is found on the cutting-room floor." And soon that fuller truth may be weighed in the halls of justice.

we have all seen the videos….its indisputable…if its a hoax,why did congress supposedly cut their funding?,and why were people fired???…if someone was lying on me,i would not roll over like a dead dog…acorn did…

Fantasia Barrino

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) – Former American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino has been hospitalized in the Charlotte-area after police sources confirm that she attempted to commit suicide.

According to a report filed with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, officers responded on Monday at 8:43 p.m. to a suicide attempt call at a home on Bevington Place.

Police sources and sources close to the investigation say Barrino was found in the closet of the Glynmoor Lakes neighborhood home and she was taken to Mercy South Hospital at Carolinas Medical Center in Pineville.

"Last night, Fantasia was hospitalized. She took an overdose of aspirin and a sleep aid," manager Brian Dickens said in a statement to WBTV.

"Her injuries are not life threatening. She was dehydrated and exhausted at the time. Fantasia is stable now. She will be released from the hospital soon."

During an email conversation with WBTV late Tuesday night, Dickens confirmed that Barrino was still in the hospital as of 10:11 p.m.

According to the police report, Barrino was hospitalized with "possible internal injuries" after "ingesting medication." The police report was classified as "suicide/overdose."

It isn’t clear if the overdose was intentional or accidental.

"I saw a fire truck, the lights were flashing and an ambulance was there," neighbor Richard Gee told WBTV’s Sarah Batista. "It definitely surprises me a lot, I see the show and everything and I never thought that would really happen in this neighborhood."

Sources tell WBTV that a production crew for Barrino’s VH1 reality show "Fantasia For Real" was at Barrino’s home on the day she overdosed.

A neighbor told WBTV’s Sarah Batista that a camera crew was outside the home on Monday and ‘everything seemed fine.’

Dickens is the one who notified CMPD that something was wrong with her, the police report stated.

"Fantasia is a fighter and a survivor. This is not the hardest thing Fantasia has endured," said Dickens. "Fantasia will be stronger, smarter, and better for it."

According to the police report, the incident is still under investigation.

Fantasia’s overdose comes after a woman named Paula Cook filed a lawsuit in Mecklenburg County court last week against her husband Antwaun Cook.

According to court documents, Paula Cook claims Fantasia began having an affair with her husband last year and claims the pair even made a sex tape together.

Dickens says the former Idol singer is not to blame for the couple’s divorce.

"Fantasia is certain that she is not responsible for the deterioration of Cook’s marriage," said Dickens.

"Fantasia believed Mr. Cook when he told her he was not happy in his marriage and his heart was not in it. She believed him when he told her he and Mrs. Cook separated in the late summer of 2009. She believed Mr. Cook when he told her he lived elsewhere. He even took her there. One of Mr. Cook’s most redeeming qualities was his complete devotion to his children. Fantasia fell in love with Mr. Cook and believed that he loved her."

Dickens says Fantasia was heartbroken when she read the accusations against her in the court papers.

"Fantasia read Mrs. Cook’s Complaint against Mr. Cook for the first time yesterday. She knows some of the allegations in Mrs. Cook’s complaint are totally false. There are others she strongly doubts. There is plenty she does not know. Fantasia is heartbroken and is sorry for any pain she may have caused. "

LOS ANGELES – Michael Jackson has been rushed to the hospital, a fire department official told the Los Angeles Times. Capt. Steve Ruda said Thursday that Jackson was not breathing when Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to a call at his Los Angeles home about 12:30 p.m. The paramedics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda told the newspaper.
L. Londell McMillan, a lawyer for Jackson, did not have any information. Messages left for other Jackson associates were not immediately returned.
The hospitalization was first reported by the Web site TMZ.
The emergency entrance at the UCLA Medical Center, which is near Jackson’s rented home, was roped off Thursday with police tape.
News trucks were gathered, helicopters flew overhead, and orange cones were laid out to redirect traffic.
"We have no statements as far as transporting Michael Jackson," Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Devin Gales said.

I know this dirty cop who has been involved in corruption and sex slavery trafficking and tax fraud, and not reporting his corrupt income to the IRS, which he had deposited hundreds of thousands of dollars form the sex slave trade organization corrupt police and he are involved in.

(Stop ASS U Me-ing that someone doesn’t have the proof, all right? Don’t be an imbecile, OK? Get it right people, police are NOT GODS!)

But because he is a police officer (or should I say and EX police officer) the IRS didn’t prosecute him, nor did the Police Dept’s in which I have reported him and many other police officers (and firemen) involved in this crime, to, that includes abduction, rape, s*d*my and MURDER!

I once found a website pertaining to Mothers Against Tax Fraud or something like that, but I couldn’t find it again on the Web.

Does anyone know where I can report him/them for tax fraud except for contacting the FBI, the Police Dept’s and IRS in which I have already reported to them several times about this corruption and crime.

I’m not interested in your blind patriotism, IF that is what your answer is, I am actually looking for the solution to my ANSWER, not some patriotic sassy comments from you BLIND patriots. All others are welcome, thank you for your cooperation.
No, YOU CALM DOWN Mrreliab:
Calm down, I think U R NUTS!
Need anger management? I think U need anger management! I have never seen anyone so hysterical like U, in my life!
An accusation?! This NOT an accusation! THIS IS FACT!
I said I HAVE EVIDENCE, for this!! Proof!
What makes U think a cop did something to me, to report this crime about them?!
PROVE, DON’T ASSUME COPS HAVE LITTLE TIME ON THEIR HANDS! Former Cops have admitted, they deliberately keep Cops inside hotel rooms, so it will make it look like there is not enough Cops, this causes more cops to be hired, so they can run their own operations of sex slavery trafficking & other organized crime. U R the one ranting! Hysterically! Look in the mirror lady, U R BLIND (patriot), U can’t see! I cant believe how blind U R! Your ASSUMING if anyone so talk about your god (police), they R spewing out hatred. Bologna!
And besides all of this U did not provide an answer, just ranting.
Now don’t tear your clothes & say, Blasphemy!
Mrreliab: You’re falsely accusing me of what you are! Some people cant handle the truth, because this bursts their little bubble about someone or something, they have a false delusion about. I hate to say this but you are the co-enabling force that creates this corruption (that you say your not, because you claim you are against these things), because you will not face the truth about it AND CORRECT IT because you hate to face the facts about your delusions and this is what MAKES YOU MAD!
This is not anger, that I want to STOP this corruption I have evidence of!

if you have substantiated proof have you gone to the DA with your allegations?
there are people in the newspaper business(still) who are interested in corruption
(recently a report with KNX in Los Angeles found DWP workers visiting strip clubs, picking up beer to consume on the way to turning in their trucks–still on company time, they had proof of the infractions and it is being thoroly investigated)

There are many web pages such as reports from news organisations that I would like to save as PDF files. PDF is easier to handle than a saved web page.

Take for example the following story "New rules for UK air traffic as ash cloud lingers – CNN.com" at

http://edition.cnn.com/2010/TRAVEL/05/18/europe.ash.cloud/index.html?hpt=T2

The problem is that when I save the page as a PDF file it comes out as

"New rules for UK air traffi..pdf"

I would rather it displayed the full title:

"New rules for UK air traffic as ash cloud lingers – CNN.com.pdf"

This appears to be the case for all PDF creating software. Even the Microsoft Office Document Image Writer shortens the name.

This occurs in both Firefox and Internet Explorer. Is it a standard thing for web browsers to shorten the name before printing it as a document or is there a way round it?

yea…it’s a pain.

probably the best solution I can think of is to copy the article and paste it into a word doc. then copy the URL and paste that in too, then print is as a pdf…

its a pain tho. and if you have to do a lot it could result in a lot of formatting for you which is time consuming.

hope it helps
