Who would of thought that! Everytime there's a Facebook related argument it's you two versus everyone else :laugh:

Well, even tho I do use facebook, I agree with them.... Zuckerberg is an expletive so rude, even I dare not say it in public.

Facebook keeps all of your shit in a database. Like they said, they dont delete data, it merely gets hidden. Background checks these days extend to your facebook contacts and any cached data the govt has been able to trawl... they sell your information to the highest bidder.

Ive got nothing to hide so I'm not worried, but aware that these people are scheming bastards. Nothing is free and FB whores you out for market research at the least, civil profiling at the worst.

So, I encourage everyone to sign up under a pseudonym and pretend to be someone else. A superhero, a villain, a doctor, a ninja, maybe even pretend to be a kind of sentient form of broccoli, but do it. It'll really f**k with their statistics. And that makes me giggle.

Yes and no. Facebook doesn't 'sell' your data, it allows marketers to leverage your data for targeting, and also for reviewing ad performance.

At no stage do marketers actually know which specific user clicked an ad - rather that 85% of people that clicked were between the ages of 18-24, 15% were from auckland etc.

That may very well be the way they are utilizing the data at the present, but it doesnt explain the fact that they are caching ever little change... if any kind of governmental agency or the like was able to infiltrate the org. then facebook would be the opt in, voluntary big brother data harvester that you'd only read about in 1984...

I have an alter ego of penultimate radness. That'll screw em.

They cache the data to make the site 'better', ever notice how when you go to search for someones name the more frequently you interact with them or view their profile the higher up they'll appear in the list of matches? It works, its also handy.

Im sure your 1 rogue profile out of the 800+ million on there will severely stuff their numbers up :nyaanyaa:

Oh i'm not trying to stuff their global statistics up. I'm just trying to stuff up their profiling of me personally.

A few of use were over there and managed to go on a tour of Tomei when they were still developing the new exhausts. It is a pretty good facility they have there...

that video to come or?

oh, and just fyi, if you are buying a Bosch fuel pump, the easiest way to spot fake vs genuine, is

-fakes are stamped made in germany

-genuine are stamped made in czech republic

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
