I agree. The question you have to ask is why are there so many opportunists? Why did they decide this was their opportunity? Is it not societies fault for not making better opportunities available?
My girlfriend uses facebook and google+. She's always showing me some neat thing some famous astronomy nerd has posted on google+, never anything from facebook. It seems like the Google+ early adopters are more likely to be smart and have interesting stuff to share than the facebook commoners. That helps compensate for the lack of users.
There's nothing special about the number six. Larger or less well connected networks will require more steps to traverse, and vice versa for smaller or more highly connected networks.
However that number increases as the logarithm of the number of nodes in the network, so you need a much larger network to get much past 6. If each person has 14 friends, then you will find 6^14=78bn people within 6 steps of you. If each person has 15 friends, you find 470bn friends within 6 steps. So you can see that the size of the network doesn't matter as much as the connectivity.
I've been running a stock C2D cooler in my living room for a couple years now. Works fine and isn't too noisy. Spending $5 on another heat sink would be a waste of $5. Barely adequate is still adequate.
If you don't protect speech that could endanger someone's liberty, you won't be protecting speech that could win someone's liberty. Sometimes inciting a riot is exactly what the people need to do.

There were an awful lot of rioters and looters. But they have arrested nearly 3000 people
You know, there are an awful lot of bankers too. Wish they would have arrested 3000 of them in 2008.
These ARE NOT protestors, they're opportunists.

You're right, the rat isn't any simpler than a human. We just have more data on rats.
Nice. It's not often an AC owns a three digit UID so handily.
The fact that you are blocking less spam is not necessarily evidence that there is less spam.

Smart criminals exist. We call them politicians and executives.
It sounds like -longerm is just this guy's fork. I don't think it will affect how Linus numbers the mainline kernel.
You denigrate what, at the time, was as serious and professional an artistic undertaking as what goes on in dramatic TV now.
Rather than making soap operas look good, that statement reflects poorly on modern television.
Was that paid for by Apple? Or did the ID producers simply want to piggyback on Apples high tech image?

Hm, can we rig up some sort of VOIP system so we can hear the lamentations of their women?
That's the power of open source.
Linux is a powerful tool. As such it can be used for good or evil. It's not the tool's fault if it's used for evil.
Not a protest. Just a bit of fun.
Indeed. It seems to me that the police have violated this fellow's rights under article 20 of the UN's universal declaration of human rights.
Of course, you'd run into the same problems Wikipedia has. How do you curate data from diverse sources and ensure integrity?
You cannot prove that your computer is not a zombie. Consider the classic Reflections on Trusting Trust by Ken Thompson.
That's why we use WPA2/AES.

1) Intel makes really crappy heatsinks
Intel heat sinks have always been sufficient to run the CPU at stock speeds. What more do you want from a stock cooler?

Unfortunately you can't have any more Science unless you are a member of a subscribing institution or pay exorbitant per issue fees.
As a die-hard Apple II user (still have my original //e and a spiffy Ethernet-equipped, Compact-Flash-card-as-a-hard-drive, maxed out IIGS),
Have you seen the new CFFA 3000?
Then why is iStuff so popular with PHBs?
