Go to http://www.mapquest.com and put in an address and find it on the map. Then click the aerial tab to see a better shot of it. JRM isn't using this method, and I have no idea how he got the addresses, and his pics are better.... If you can get RL pics on Mapquest, what can the government do? Makes you wonder...
YES YOUR A HUNDRED PERCENT CORRECT! You've just won an all expense paid weekend to Tokyo, Japan! OOPS! MUPPETS UNITE!! Think, could this be some of our Secret Muppet Technology!
You're just a bunch of paranoid people/muppets!
I don't believe you at all but I just trashed all the HP Printers around here anyway.
They knew too much...now they won't talk anymore - ever!
*mad chuckle*
I have just been given an official warning for trashing all of our HP printers in the office... The IT department didn't believe me when I told then that the printers were passing our secrets to the American Intelligence (is that an oxymoron?) !!
My guess is that you were browsing the FBI's site while trying to report the suspected terrorist activity of your neighbor, when the site tried to contact you. I say this is the case because I have seen this same kind of weird traffic while monitoring my firewall logs. This is strange behaviour and an HTTP server shouldn't ever establish an inbound connection to a client, but who knows why this happens.
I'd say that while you're browsing, have a terminal open with "tail -f /var/log/ipflog" (or whatever log your system uses to log firewall data) while browsing the web to detect these connections. Further analysis using packet sniffers is also possible if one desires.
As far as JRM being able to pinpoint a physical location via an IP address, that's a bunch of bull, but nice try JRM
Stealthy_S2K: glad you're running a firewall, and looks like a BSD-based one at that, but you gotta RTFM before you spread FUD
