Just had a weird, creepy, Hal-like moment.
I clicked on the link and got to Wolfram Alpha, and viewed it using Mozilla via a NT64 computer fitted with a router and with track-me-not as an add on .
I authorised the site to set cookies for the session.
The server a Wolfram got overloaded and I got the following message:
'I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that'

Since I had put in no personal details, how did it do that?
It should be able to track my ISP to0 my area, but how did it get my name?
Anyone any idea what is going on?
