Facebook only shows and knows as much as you tell it.
See thats where you're wrong. Facebook knows everything I tell it, plus everything any of my friends tell it about me. My birthday was announced, my vacations have been announced, pictures of me in all sorts of situations tagged with my name, etc. What I told FB: my name and my email. I'll give you that I'm sure google could have figured out all of the above via my gmail account, but that doesn't make FB any less creepy.
So, now that I've told you they have already implimented your suggestion...what's your next brilliant idea?
If they were actually banning trolls from posting, they wouldn't have this problem. It'd then cost $30 per troll, and I doubt many people would continue. Instead they have the ability to do this, but don't actually follow through very often, and they're trying to use that as an excuse to F their customers.
when the dowsing rods are wrong, all that happens is someone wastes money digging a dry well
The downside is even less than that... dig a hole and you'll get water, so thats rarely an issue. So generally you're only out whatever you paid the dowser for the act.

I like how he uses "anti-social" behavior as one of the reasons
Especially given his anti-social behavior that he has his name attached to.

What?!
Thats not the way people operate! They believe in the one true ideology, therefore their views aren't biased, they're correct!
Just about everyone is guilty of that, both sides of every debate. (And thats a fact, not my view!!! :-) )
The 'mechanism' would be his cop buddies who would kill him, then discover the camera and destroy it.
Yes but that smug cloud will destroy you.
perfectly functional PC
Does not compute.
Well technically the _invasion_ was easy... its the follow up that turned out to be really hard ;-)
She had restraining orders, didn't matter, he would come by and beat the shit out of her whenever.
The purpose of a restraining order so you can blow his head off the next time he violates it.
Crazy... I just read through whats available of your posting history, and its insane you're permanently -1.
If your intent was really trolling- you'd just go make another account, I guess thats lost on /. mods :-/
euthanizing people at age 40
The cure for cancer!!
I'd say things like voyager will be around a _long_ time...
Unless it comes back to kill us all, good luck finding it though.
When you're doing a DoS attack you're attacking the network as well as the host
It depends entirely on the type of DoS.
Not the above AC... but:

understand a finer point of the law
The fact that everything is legal- unless its specifically illegal... thats a pretty hard concept to understand.
Then why did they take the hard copy of the email with them in the first place?
To test the limits of law enforcements stupidity.
Someday we might find that limit... I'm not hopeful though.
It's unfair to those police to tar them with the brush of those who are jerks or who are confused
Then maybe they should manage their own- since they make damn sure nobody else can.
He should just dismantle the company and give the proceeds back to the shareholders.
That's not any different from Christianity in Europe.
And? I'm not claiming christianity didn't spread by the sword...
You're arguing that Islam didn't, and rather poorly.
tell the local ruler that they'd cut them a discount
I suppose the local ruler's subjects then would voluntarily convert? What if they refused?
Even giving you the benefit of the doubt- it sounds like it was closer to conversion via force than voluntary.
Anyone who claims that isn't too familiar with tyranny.
Thanks guys...
Just finished watching via netflix, and loved it.
They also open sourced Netscape Navigator, leading directly to Mozilla and FireFox...
Given their stellar investigation and handling of the Knox trial- I'd expect a conviction with a 20-30 year sentence.
So basically they're very good interrogators, and the machine is a prop?
