Name a website that doesn't put cookies on your computer. Now that would be news.

I'm not the biggest computer expert, but the story even says this is pretty darned common.

As far as I am concerned, this is a total non-story and, again, more Tokyo-Rose type bullsh*t. Forgive the language, but I'm sick of it.

If I'm wrong I'll thank anyone for the correction in advance.

Let me get this straight..The NYT,WP, ABC, NBC,CBS and the rest of the lame stream media can put cookies on your computer..but not the federal government trying to hunt down terrorists? I wonder if they realize how ridiculous they sound complaining about this?

The media is getting desperate for dirt.

They were probably planning to write a story on how hard
it was to navigate the NSA site, discovered it wasn't,
and decided to make that the story.

Every "outraged" liberal who reads this on any on-line
news site will be doing so on a site that not only uses
preference cookies, but runs ads with real tracking
cookies, not all benign.

Ya mean the same ones used by every other site to track your computer? Run AD-AWARE SE [It's free], and I guarantee that many will be surprised by who is tracking their every move.

Hells Bells, FR places a cookie on your system when you log in.

Most browsers can delete and block cookies, no biggie.

If you hate it, don't go or get your security programs at work. It doesn't take but several steps to disable it. This shows how dumb the complaining liberals are. Cookies... let the cookie monster eat 'em.

NEW YORK (AP) - The National Security Agency's Internet site has been placing files on visitors' computers that can track their Web surfing activity despite strict federal rules banning most of them.

This is very good news.......our security services need more 'cookie' factories......maybe they can make 'goodle' research a giant 'cookie' network....

Britain,....China and India.... Needs More Work.....

....and don't forget,....."Narnia" is surely the favorite false profit work of the Billy-goat Clintons and their Homo 'DNC'....support the 'DNC' filosophies and see 'their' Hollywood-Homo-Saypean politics....

/Bill Hybulls and Sick Warren,......not to forget Robert Schiller and other 'Narnia' gnostic-false-christian 'occults'...

/soarcasim?

The 'DNC' is C.S. Lewis' real KINGDOM.....

Big deal over nothing. Yes, government policy says not to do it, but anyone who has ever done server config knows that things can get turned back on automatically, especially in the Microsoft world. Mistakes happen, they fixed it. Forget it.

They cant track that cookie when you are surfing away from their site. They cant even read it when you are away and the sites you visit cant be applied to any cookie outside the domain you are browsing.

Can we AT LEAST get some technical expertise to report on this type of stuff????
