The problem is that reactions are often disproportionate on both directions. A distant friend of mine was afraid of how much I knew about him simply by typing her name on a search engine thinking I had been following her for years. It took me a while to explain and make her understand all this information was freely available on the internet. See this example of extensive research published in a French magazine.
The truth is random people do not expect anyone they don't know well to know anything about them. This becomes different when you start becoming "famous". That gives a kind of moral justification for your party pics being made public.
As the parent says, everybody has made bad decisions in their life. Everybody seems also not recognize them by fear of the reactions.
I think the problem is much more about those reactions than anything else.
Yes I did. The minitel was quite advanced when it first popped out in 1982/ However, what the article didn't say is that it hugely slowed down the actual Internet usage in France. Les than 200 000 broadband connections in 2000 (for 8 million households) .
The think that should be studied here is the the people that are seeing such UFO's rather than studding something that is UNINDENTIFIED yet.
Btw, I am curious to know. Do they have something to do with such idea?
Way too much!
Let me also suppose the poor guy will get sued and maybe jailed for what he did. The thing I wonder is what will happen if my Twitter account was """"""hacked"""""" like this? Will it deserve a story in Slashdot?
This story proves tow things: The first is obviously that size matters when it comes to food. And the second which is slightly more deep: Slashdot is indeed about stuff that matters... sometimes. Food!
Never forget it is all politic correctness. If they took such a decision it is more likely that they think there will be a sufficient amount of people to support them in it.
For most people, violence is just BAAaaad.
The point is that the average and very neutral Joe doesn't necessarily think nor has the same principles as the average anonymous coward on Slashdot does.

The more you ignore it, the cooler you look!

But if I'm going BACK in time, I'm taking some aspirin, toothpaste, deodorant, and toilet paper with me. I hope the machine is big enough.
Don't forget your towel you insensitive clod!
Now I know what to do in case I don't pay my electricity bill. \o/

The best part was when they wanted to implement their own Internet: The Minitel! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minitel
China was on it since 2008. At least. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article3941656.ece
The Economist had an interesting story about it something like one year ago. I couldn't find it unfortunately.
Anyway. How did they get all the computing power not only to run flash but also to design games for it?!
Does Airbus or Boeing not have the resources to do such R&D?
Don't tell they don't!
The difference is that Diaspora is to be released under the aGPL license. Making it free software. Free as in both free speech and free beer probably.
He's not a lawyer. He's a judge.

I just wanted to let you know.
Thank you Captain Obvious! (Note that this doesn't deserve a rock this time)

What do they mean by lost? Is it lost like "Lost in space", "Just lost The Game" or "Sorry, I *lost* my homework"?
