Yes I'm sure, otherwise I wouldn't have posted it.
Believe it or not, many non-geeks have an intuition for online privacy. Not everyone is a fucktard click-monkey, despite the existence of facebook proving that most people are.
That is the same as "privacy is dead", making you one of the asshats that AC was talking about.
Are your facebook friends so lazy that they wouldn't reply, if you sent them a good old fashioned email? I hope not, but just in case, there is a secret weapon. Federated XMPP. Your backdoor into facebook's walled garden, without actually having to give in and be their bitch.
You missed the boat. There was a time when deleting your account would, more or less, delete your account. Now days it doesn't.
Today you should disband and pollute your data over a matter of months, and delete your account. Then change your name, sex, nationality, and fake your own death. Then finally change your name, sex, and nationality again.
ONLY because of facebook! Sell your friends, write "cool story bro" on someone's wall, decline a bunch of people, post pics of yourself passed out drunk in the bath.
Without facebook they would have nothing to do in their lives, and would therefore have time for political activism. And philosophy.
Yes I never understood those asshats. It's like a false "monochotomy". I don't have a facebook account, and I don't have any idiot farmville playing friends, that would violate my privacy. Therefore I have opted out of facebook. Hey, that wasn't hard.
Oh and I'm using the friend 1.0 definition, ie: people I know with mutual trust, as opposed to the friend 2.0 definition of linked social networking profiles who have poked and bitten each other in the last 6 months.
1. Apple does something really dumb 2. They get bad press for it 3. An army of Apple fanboys rush to their defence 4. Apple laugh at how dumb their fanboy users are 5. Boring story gets posted to slashdot frontpage
Google killed news groups for me. This might sound a bit of a stretch, but I really loved dejanews, and all the time google group search was orange, and on the main menu, it was an excellent search tool for usenet.
Then one day it turned into a shitty blue forum that nobody uses.
Microsoft Omega destroys internets, a chain reaction involving a handful of machines could devastate internet throughout an entire Class A. If that were to happen, p0rn browsing would become impossible. Fapping as we know it would cease to exist.
Please drill down into TFA and tell me if this is a slashvertisment for CougarLife, an unrelated violation of googles TOS, or really google being evil so I can be outraged accordingly.
According to the apple section, "Netbooks are irrelevant because they are dead!!!111"
I personally thought netbooks would have hit the mark better than they did. I should have stocked up on them whilst they were dirt cheap, low powered, and came with linux.
I would love to pirate some EA games, but unfortunately they just keep pumping out "YourGFXcardCan'tHandleThisShooter 4", and "MySims 3D, coke&whores addon-pack"

I don't believe privacy exists really anymore

Just tell the C-level execs a car analogy.
Why not make it a fair test and pit it against XP x64 with AHCI drivers installed?
The pattern is:
1. Apple does something really dumb
2. They get bad press for it
3. An army of Apple fanboys rush to their defence
4. Apple laugh at how dumb their fanboy users are
5. Boring story gets posted to slashdot frontpage
legal messes of epic proportions
Only in America.
Though it will spawn the new industry of genetic engineering tourism.

This is great.
I'll be able to patch my laptop using the government CD, on the train to London Waterloo.

Outrageous. Won't someone think of the legitimate websites that sell mountain lions.

You're thinking of http://hotmale.com/
"one's country" is the country which owns you.
He also left out Sodium benzoate, and the usual allergy warnings; "Lab nut free, however cannot guarantee nut free", etc.
Beating your profile at yahtzee will also destroy it.
Way back when I had 2k, installing XP borked my machine. So I switched to Linux.
Just sayin'.

I would be perfectly happy letting a piece of software BE the government.
Vote 'Helios AI' in the October elections!
What's the problem again?

Enough to satisfy rule 35, or the limits of digital storage technology at the time.
Whichever is larger.
