You could do all those things, if you were actually still friends with those people. Telephones, postcards and email existed BEFORE Facebook. How is it valuable that every masturbatory comment gets immediately broadcast to all your so-called friends?
Who uses WPA or WEP anyways? Either you leech your neighbor's unprotected WiFi, you live far enough away from other homes so that your signal doesn't leave your property, or you maintain a separate DMZ of wireless IPs that can't get into the good stuff, but can access the Internet.
Next people will say that MAC address security is actually meaningful.
Classic case of the "open container" law (here in USia) - it gives Verizon an ace in the hole, if they ever need to cut your service for (say) "overuse" - they can sniff your traffic or get an "anonymous" person to complain, and whack your account.
You must be a douche. Nothing I said precluded a security force on said ships. When pirates capture a vessel (somehow) with "that 35mm AP thing" - then you send in the real military.
No pirate WOULD fire the "35mm AP thing" at a tanker they were trying to capture.
I think the number of pirates would be reduced if the shipping vessels had small autocannons mounted on them. No jalopie fishing trawler can take a burst of 35mm AP shells for very long. Problem solved.
There is no compromise between a murderer and his victim. Half-dead is still dead. By "contributing to the process" you're giving YOUR credibility to them, and getting nothing back that you didn't already have.
blah blah, and more polar bears exhibit hermaphroditic features, and there's a higher percentage of Florida alligators that are female, and girls are hitting puberty earlier these days, and, and, and....
Talk about a slow news day. What's next, an article about how Oracle is buying Sun ?
80/20 rule - show them the biggest, heaviest hitters. if someonly happens.01% of the time, its a waste of your time to investigate it, work on it, etc.
"I'm not a mechanical engineer nor did any of my college coursework overlap with that but my gut feeling was pure skepticism and doubt. At least it's a long long way off if they follow through."
Thats what people thought about powered flight. Maybe you should leave this sort of thing to the engineers.

Isn't it cheaper, easier, and less douchebaggy to just get an aircard?

All you have to do is not use them. Since your ISP is tracking all this stuff anyway, don't worry about it.
Good. Let Facebook go the way of the dodo. It's the equivalent of those "personal home pages" people put up when they first discovered the Web.
You fell into the trap and pattern of sounding like a bitch.
The difference is that Google is offering value for your data. If you find the data more valuable than their service, don't use them.
Not if that bit flips the ASCII value of some element in an XML file, rendering the file unparsable (by a computer at least).
Tell you're friend they're a sucker, and tell them to buy a real printer.

Do you seriously believe the NSA hadn't exploited this, and other bugs, already ?

When will the rest of the world wake up and realize that China is NOT your friend?
Sure, the 'best crackers' couldn't hack it, see? So its secure, see?

Probably typing it up on a Mac. Other than being an articulate SCO-hater, w(hy)tf does everyone always stroke Groklaw as cool ?
Why does this preclude alien life?
1) buy Dell mini
2) download DellEFI
3) boot DVD
4) swap DVD with OSX DVD
5) wait...
6) reboot into OSX
Since clearly you haven't tried or done this, perhaps you should STFU.
Keep them on a slip of paper, in your wallet.
but DONT list what each is for - you can remember that part easily enough
You can't eat what you don't grow. The rest follows.
