Do your RFN pictures pinpoint your location?

WTF happened here? I clicked on Pete's link and asked to sign in, couldn't find my pass word. Then I used Clod's link. Went back to first link to see if had right pass word, it went to site w/no pass word?

The brain of Clodfobble opened the gates.

Aw so. But but I didnt get to test my pass word. Oh well.

Not only that, she knows where you are regardless of your RFN posts.

It's just a useful little tidbit I picked up from Mr. Clod while he was working for a web analytics company: Google will not index pages that require registration, by policy. NYT wants you to pay, but they also want to maintain their mainstream footprint by coming up in internet searches. So every article has a "please register to read this" version, and a fully-printed version. If you're ever asked to register for an article, just do a search for the title of that article, and the un-blocked link will come up. This goes for several other major online publications, but not all of them, of course.

Yup - Financial Times as well.

Most cameras include a thumbnail of the picture in the EXIF data. If you crop or edit the picture and your graphic editor retains the EXIF data, the original thumbnail is still in there!

Various software is available to view the EXIF data (eg. Freeware Photome)

This is one reason my phone don't got no camera, and my camera don't got no phone. Well, that, and money.
