This whole story reads more like one of those hypothetical situations made up to illustrate a point. In this case, "don't assume your Facebook account will only be seen by those you want to see". I don't think the account actually happened, and I think the Patriot Act is being used by the writer as a MacGuffin which allows the unnamed office manager access to the supposedly "hidden" Facebook profile.
Try pulling a boat like that, and it ends up pivoting and you're dragging the boat sideways through the water (torque and what not). You can probably use a small conventional drive system and rudder for course corrections on the open sea, then use the conventional system once you approach dock.
And Apple learned from its mistakes, now you can use USB 2.0 or FireWire.
Not so much a mistake, as that when the iPod was first introduced, it only worked with Macs (iTunes being Mac-only at the time), most of which had FireWire and none of which had USB 2.0. Once Windows support came with iTunes for Windows, USB 2.0 was added for PCs which had USB 2.0 but rarely FireWire.
I had a PC with from a major maker that came shipped with internal USB in 1997. Unless I'm wrong, didn't the first iMac come out in 1998, one year later?
That sounds about right. As I recall, the iMac was mainly important in driving USB support in Linux. Before the Linux/PPC guys got it working out of necessity, USB support in Linux was generally slow in coming. Also, the fact that USB was the iMac user's only choice for mice, keyboards, printers, etc. probably jumpstarted the USB market at least a little.
However, the <q> tag simply renders quotation marks before and after the enclosed text (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/text.html# h-9.2.2), and is therefore more or less useless, unless you're using it for proper quotation of another language (still not sure if it's really even useful then, as some browsers probably won't handle that properly). If someone else can point out its usefulness, by all means, do so. I'd like to know.
Not useless if you intend to include the quotation inside an element that cannot contain block-level elements like <blockquote>. That's why there is the inline element <q>. The default rendering isn't important; you could swap the appearance of the two elements if you really wanted to. But you need to use <q> to include a quotation inside, say, a <span> element.
If the DMCA had been arround in the early 1980's...would IBM still hold a monopoly on the PC BIOS? Think of all we would have missed out on. Apple probably would have folded up for lack of users if the Mac clones industry didn't happen...although they'd like you to forget that
People bought clones instead of Apple hardware, not in addition to it. Clones didn't help Apple.
yeah i was thrilled to find out my new homeowner's association pays for "cable internet" through our homeowner's fees... until i found out that it was artificially limited to 256 kbps unless you paid extra! that's worse than doing nothing for us.
You have a strange definition of "worse". I'm sure there are plenty of people for whom any type of free access is acceptable. Besides, how much is "extra"? Is it still less than having to buy it all yourself?
Beta particles are not helium nuclei; those would be alpha particles. Beta particles are high-energy electrons/positrons. AFAIK, beta particles don't generate radioactive isotopes. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong.)

The piece of glass is brighter than a 1000 suns? Oh wait, no, there might have been a huge explosion that was that bright.
Are headlines just randomly chosen strings of words now?

At least since 1998, when HTML 4.0 was released? It's still in XHTML 1.0.
