Instincts cannot be denied, but they should be evaluated, and, in the cases where they are based on some unreasoned fear, discussed at large so that, with hope, their effects can be lessened.
Deny or ignore your own instincts at your peril, because somebody somewhere will know how to pull those chains.
Say you're relatively discrete, and hide what little semi-sensitive information you have to just your friends and maybe a bit to "networks" on Facebook. But, you've got a friend who loves those silly quizzes, or the Pirate game, or some other as pointless Facebook app...everytime your friend takes a new "What Star Wars Character Are You?" quiz, in order to take that they click on a little button that says, yes, they're willing to share their data and their friends's data with the nice little app that would never do anything wrong with the data.
If all that's needed to identify you fairly completely is a birthdate, zip code, and gender, um, do I really need to describe the problem in any more detail? (Okay, so you faked your birthday, but your real name you might have used.)
Just messin' wit' ya. Personally, I've been blabbing on the net since before there was a Slashdot.
That's because Leigh Brackett wrote the screenplay for ESB. Well, okay, that's open to debate; however, she did write one treatment, and I'd strongly suspect that her good space opera writing had an effect on Lucas and Kasdan.
He wanted to make something nice for his mommy?
It's just a stupid plot point, so that Tahei and Matashichi I mean R2D2 and C3PO get introduced into the story early so that when everybody gets together in the 1st movie / 4th episode, it all seems fated, cosmic, blah, blah, blah.

Like *I* care what anyone else has to say.
Birth is what makes us animals.

Maybe not for you...
In San Jose, if the police see you, you'd better not be holding a vegetable peeler! (Particularly not if you're a dinky Asian woman.)
Eggsactly.
Well, it got me wrong.

What is this mythical "client spec" of which you write? Do they really exist?
Context!! Context!! (The curiosity about this is going to bug me for awhile.)
