Your lifestyle is a huge factor in determining your health. Alcoholism, cigarette addiction, poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle are all practically guaranteed to cause health problems later in life
So, you want to completely deny the coercion of the tobacco companies who knew the facts on nicotine addiction but continued to advertise them as a lifestyle enhancement and deny the health implications? You want to ask Native Americans how much of a choice alcoholism is? Have you noticed where the subsidies from the USDA go? We, economically, make it such that if you are lower middle class, the only nutrition you can afford is of such poor quality that you are just about guaranteed to either be starving or obese, not healthy. Its hard to not be sedentary when you're either dealing with malnutrition or horrid side effects from the onset of diabetes due to our ag system being a subsidized corn syrup production model.
Learn a little bit about the socio-economic factors and the serious corporate corruption in our system that cause these things before you start immediately blaming the "lazy poor". How many poor people do you know? I grew up wondering where the next meal was coming from and it wasn't because my mother wanted to work two jobs and never see her kids.
That's great and all, but I'd really like to watch all the online video available to the rest of the world rather than pay $80 a month to have a proprietary set top box stream the same crap at slightly higher quality to a buggy pos dvr box that I don't own, control, nor can I access the content as I please. I hate having to rely on cpu rendering when I want to build a low power quiet box and use the goddamned gpu hardware h.264 decoding to get deinterlaced rendered video.
This is why my htpc frontends will be moving to windows 7 in the very near future. MythTV backend, MythWeb for setting up recordings, browsing schedules, etc, and boxee as a frontend on top of w7 with hardware decoding!
And that's not just search results its all the public info, I just logged out, searched for myself and went to a result (on a public page I'd commented on) and my pic isn't there nor can my profile be accessed by someone not logged in. Others can be.
Turn your search results (Under Privacy Settings->Search->Facebook Search) to whatever level of privacy you'd like and "strangers" won't be able to see ANYTHING about you.
Hmm, lower UID, long comment history, and excellent karma... think that over again, huh?
Seems you're right on the stuff that shows up in search listings and profile views to everyone. However don't play the stupid games on facebook and use it like you're actually concerned about your private data and you'll be fine. I guess I don't care so much about the info that's in bold above. Its enough for someone I know to id me, but nothing particularly sensitive (especially if you know what's being shared). I'm Eric Rost from Peoria, IL, in the Caterpillar, Inc. network, have some friends scattered across the country, and I'm a fan of Weeds and some other shows. What exactly is the concern there? I don't play the stupid scammy games (and block the updates in my "live news feed" from them) and I use facebook to share pics and videos with my friends and family as well as keep up with some political causes...
It's a change that makes the actual search a bit more useful since you'd come across locked down profiles that you're not even sure are the person who you were legitimately looking for.
Nope, from my PC at the office. I have DSL @ home and no cable package. It is possible to unplug from the BS. I use hulu for the little bit of cable programming I'm interested in and Netflix streaming for some other diversions as well as over the air HD DVR'd to my MythTV box. I also watch a lot of content through boxee. I DON'T pay for cable, and I actually enjoy what I watch a lot more now and have more choices than I did (now that I've put the effort in to search them out and build my own gear) when I was limited to the two or three things a day that I was remotely interested in on the 100+ channels of crap that was streaming into my house.
Except you can set your privacy settings to not let the apps share anything, and you can not use any apps that require those additional permissions. This change actually ADDED control to what you let apps do. I use some specific apps (twitter, flickr, facebook for blackberry, and facebook mobile) to do stuff from my phone and from other accounts. Other than that, nothing gets my info, because I'm intelligent enough to set it up right.
Click the little Change Settings button on the top of the page. Nothing is "irrevocably public" I have all my info other than send friend request set to "Friends Only". Users aren't so stupid, the submitter and editor seem to be though. This hyperbole crap is spreading across the web today/yesterday and those spreading it don't care to investigate the issue far enough to get anything resembling the truth.
The biggest draw for boxee for me is the auto recognition and metadata download (MythVideo completely lacks this) I also use a lot of the third party plugins for random web video sources plugged into my htpc fairly nicely. Having a properly functioning hulu app will be nice, though, even if it has to be a standalone.
How is "in the basic cable package" "free-of-charge"? Basic cable costs money (and, hint, its not worth it). Unplug while you still can, there's a real world out there, and its more HD than HD and has surround sound.
Really? Ok, now time to install that and get it in the menu. I still like other features on boxee (way better local media support oustide of dvd isos) but I share your pain on the clunkiness of hulu on boxee.
I run mythbuntu with a boxee launch item in the main menu. Mythbuntu works flawlessly for capturing media and playing it back, boxee does everything else flawlessly. FTW!
The condo stuff you mention is because you didn't read the contract you were signing. I own my home and the ground its on so I can do what I damn well please. Pet regulations aren't just for rabies, they are humanitarian so we don't have streets teeming with unvaccinated starving wild dogs and feral cats like Calcutta. Car insurance is so you don't get hit by a deadbeat who won't pay to fix your car, and is a common protection. Emissions tests are really only in California so you give yourself away as being against liberalism simply to be contrary since you have the choice to live where you will, but then you wouldn't have anything to bitch about, no? Your tax info is just wrong. You have to file one return for State (that includes your whole family), one for Federal, and possibly a local/COUNTY (not country you stupid non-english speaking copypasta) return. Airline security is theater to make sure people don't stop (as I have) using the air transit system since there is little to no REAL security involved in the system. Helmet/seatbelt laws are mainly there to stem the tide of braindead (literally) idiots who we pay to keep housed and fed since they turned themselves into drooling idiots and the government is left with their care when their broke white-trash families can't afford to pay after paying for all the chrome and noise. Mind you I ride, I ride safely, and I wouldn't think about getting onto a road with a bunch of cagers without a lid on.
And you don't get ANYTHING in return for it, right? Oh, what, you want your trash picked up? You want sewers built to your property? You want roads to drive on? You want fire protection? You want the police to arrest those naughty black people who keep making you scared and nervous? You want an army to protect your property claims against foreign and domestic threats? You want clean water running out of the tap?
Tell you what, you keep your extra $35 one year, but stop using ALL of the above services and see how you feel at the end of the year? Or pay someone to perform all of those services out of your own pocket and see how much you have left.
Let me repeat this since conservative douchebags never seem to grasp it:
Unemployment INSURANCE is in NO WAY welfare. You pay every penny of that insurance out of your paycheck and it is administered through the state. Its as much welfare as your comprehensive auto insurance. Grow a clue.

Why not just use the coax to pull cat5e/cat6 along the same runs? You're making it more complicated than it is, I think.
I don't bother with cable. The few things I want to watch are on hulu. I watch a few shows on delay via Netflix.
That's great and all, but I'd really like to watch all the online video available to the rest of the world rather than pay $80 a month to have a proprietary set top box stream the same crap at slightly higher quality to a buggy pos dvr box that I don't own, control, nor can I access the content as I please.

And yet strangely I can post this comment from my 'berry.

Read carefully apps can ONLY see what you leave available to everyone.
Read your own words: "it may access any information you have made visible to Everyone (Edit Profile Privacy)"
This is still controllable via your privacy settings. Also, don't use apps that request additional permissions.

Jeez I'm glad I look at things for myself...

I said one return not one form. I deduct my house, my student loans, etc. Its still one federal RETURN.
Bullshit buddy, I live in Illinois. Chicago may have a city test, but its not statewide.
I run mythbuntu with a boxee launch item in the main menu. Mythbuntu works flawlessly for capturing media and playing it back, boxee does everything else flawlessly. FTW!
I know I shouldn't, but:

No, he'd never be done compiling before the convention folds (ducks)
Oh just go buy your own island you fuckwit, you're too antisocial to have most of us even want your redneck mountain man ass around.
And you don't get ANYTHING in return for it, right? Oh, what, you want your trash picked up? You want sewers built to your property? You want roads to drive on? You want fire protection?

Except in Indiana. Seriously. Its. Stupid.
