I know a group of moms that figured out how to have a private forum, no one was a techie. It's not that hard. They were changing the themes and everything.
Meh, if email isn't your cup of tea, just get a message forum for $1 a month. There are many nontechnical groups that I know of that figure it out. There are enough other ways that people that use Facebook are getting what they ask for... to be spoon fed the solution. Unfortunately that comes with ads and no privacy.
The parts of Facebook that are for sharing images can be done with email attachments, as for video.. Comments on both can also be done with email. What else is there to facebook? Perhaps email can't play words with friends, that you will need Facebook for.
But that doesn't answer my question. Facebook actually talks like there is a way to show an ad to a user and benefit them. When in reality, the best experience is an ad-free experience. There is no way to make ads 'an experience'. That's like saying you can benefit people at a beach by taking away half of the mosquitoes.
He's referring to the fact that many people have friends who will *only* send an invite to an event on Facebook. You'll find out a week later that you missed event X and they'll say, "didn't you see it on Facebook??!?"
That's what I don't get about Facebook. I could send pictures of my cats to everyone because they make me happy, but the things that make me happy have already made me happy it adds nothing for me to share them. It makes the whole communication channel highly superficial for me. The real communication I need to do are the more serious topics that will happen with fewer people and in a way more personal setting. I am afraid to talk about more personal matters on facebook because I never really feel I can control what anything goes to.
What other communication channel in existence has opened what you sent, recorded it, put it in an envelope with ads, put it back in the original envelope and sent it on. Welcome to a brave new world.
You're not lazy, you just don't value your time appropriately. The people I see on facebook go through reams of information about people they don't care about to get to the one they do. As opposed to the emails in which you just read the ones you care about.
I don't write Slashdot comments the same way that I write business communications, sorry. I think if you are expecting to see that here you will be sorely disappointed. I'll grant you it was a quick comment I made and could have been worded better but it's definitely correct English.
I certainly hope you mention it if you sell your home. I'd be pretty pissed off if I bought a house and found out I could only replace with 0.001% of the thermostats available on the market. Not something I or any agent I've used has thought to ask about that. Good reason for getting a home inspection I guess, but do most of those even discover a non-standard furnace connection?
but there is no (known) privilege exploit that allows a userland application to get full privileges.
If the cost of that is not being able to access the damn filesystem and having everything running in it's own little isolated compartment, I'll just use Android and try not to install malicious apps thanks.
People in general don't realize how much attention it requires though. Yes, even if they have been told. People forget, that's human. Can you imagine someone with no training being placed in front of a ship's system? From a standpoint of just cruising, there is a lot less happening in open water then there is on any highway.
In my opinion, my car should just roll into house insurance. Just another $30K piece of property. If that property causes damage, I expect it to be covered by whomever messed up the programming.
So.. When people are distracted at the wheel and get into an accident with Autopilot, it's the person's fault. Yet it is supposed to be OK that this particular man drove while incapacitated? Is it safe and responsible to use Autopilot unattended or not? You can't have it both ways.

I'd totally peg Jesus to be the burrito guy over God.

If ads were a service then you wouldn't have to 'look for it'. You would just wait for an ad to pop up that has the device you want and buy it.

I don't use Facebook but did they solve 3)? that's what it seems to be every time I have seen someone on Facebook.
Email seems like a good alternative.

I feel if people aren't private messaging then they aren't having a personal conversation anyway.

They almost talk about ads like they are a service. Who are these people who cannot shop and research on their own and therefore require this service?

there are going to be a good number of people worth recruiting
So why does person after person say their companies haven't found any?? Indeed this has been my experience as well.
So they don't have to if they don't want to. The point is really the fact that the option is useful to some people.

And if I give you a +1 score? Oh shoot I've commented now, never mind.

God bless you, America. God bless you.

Yes but unless you have few friends most people won't enter them all in their contacts.
