At that rate, summary might as well have said:

Well, hell. One day, the summary is too terse and doesn't explain enough.. The next day, the summary explains a single term (that, truthfully, no one pays attention to), and suddenly, that's too much?
Well, to be a semantic ass, you ARE making the decision to not give your private data out to anyone else... But that doesn't mean that your bank or card issuer, etc. hasn't passed it themselves part of an advertising agreement with FB. (not saying there IS, but would it shock anyone?)
Problem is, I'm certain we all know it, but simply can't do much about it, legally.
I agree 100%, which is why I refuse to give my personal data to Facebook (or anyone else).
Not to be trollish, but:
Do you use a bank? Checks? Credit Card? Discount Card? Have a job? Have an SSN? (if U.S.) Have a visa? Have a house? Have a line of credit? Use Google? Use Hotmail? Use Windows? Mac? Linux? Breathe?
yes, blame this on teachers, not on the management that is making the decisions. good job, you've managed to blame someone with no say in this at all!
Jesus Christ. The teachers have nothing to do with this stupid bullshit. Clean the tea out of your brain.!
Listen. I know sarcasm is really hard to understand from static text on the Internet... But, seriously, your Snark-O-Meter didn't twitch at all?...Neither of you? Huh..
Sounds like you have no idea what a strict Catholic upbringing is like. As a recovered Catholic myself, I can attest that the entire basis of the Cath-lick faith is to have zero self-worth. Anything good you do is attributed to God's power. Anything 'evil,' and, well, bend over, Satan's concubine!
And, if you do, somehow, manage to come out of that intact, you'll generally be jaded.
This person did not do the United States any favors by creating a type of junk food. Think about how many billions of dollars in unnecessary medical costs are due directly or indirectly to his invention. You may as well give a medal to the guy that invented cigarettes.
I'm sorry, I must have missed where it's become common place to blame the creator of something for the way it's misused by consumers who exist to, gee, I don't know, consume?
Very glad I arrived late to to station so I didn't board that bandwagon before departing.
Am I the only one that's noticed that only the AC's seem to have a problem with Hart's death/title/contributions? Funny how no one's willing to put a name to the complaint.
That said, anyone who dies and leaves the tools to encourage people to peel themselves away from mindless entertainment and makes reading a bit more accessable, gets my respect.
Sort of like the 'Off-shore gambling industry in legally gray territories and elsewhere.'
And I think torrenters.. At least the smart ones.. Have been abusing international VPN's for awhile.

So, I guess NO one reads/watches TFA.

Really, though, six mailings/warnings followed by throttled bandwidth doesn't do much, that I can see, apart from the 'we're watching you' vibe. It'll just be a shot in the arm for the VPN market.
1. Agreed with everyone else, in that the summary is written in such a way that one would interpret VLC infected. Bad form on the summary writer's part. (insert rant about/. editing style, rabblerabble)
2. This is zero to do with FOSS. Even paid software can be used to shovel-out any form of virii, malware, digital Bubonic Plague, etc. This is about people downloading any and everything that has a link attached, from 'trusted' sources and flashing banner ads.
I'm going to make this real simple, Internet Security 101-style: If you download something and you don't make the MONUMENTAL effort to scan it with whatever virii scanner you're using. You deserve what you get. True, virus scanners are not the be-all/end-all of security, but considering most of these infections are lazily coded, your scanner of choice would probably find the source of the infection, but probably their Twitter, Facebook, Google, and grocery shopping lists, too.
You wouldn't stchup a prostitute without a condom, right? (I hope!) Same thing applies when you 'jack in' to the intertubez.
For the record, nowhere is Balmer even mentioned. At all.
Give credit where credit is due: lawyers work very hard to make outrageous and asinine claims. How dare you give the credit to someone else?!
Every new Hotmail account comes complete with no less than 10 emails promising 'bigGer Pen1s 4 hur plezures!" within the first thirty seconds of initial login.
Sorry, but let's face it, any kind of integrated nvidia gpus is massively superior to any of the intel gpus, or whatever is the appropriate term for those integrated graphics chips.
I think the correct term you're looking for is 'waste of PCB real-estate.'
Still not enough to make me upgrade my PS3 from 3.15
Still not enough to encourage me to get one.
I'm not big on the 'Smash Sony' bandwagon, personally. They screwed up. Royally. You don't just look away and HOPE no one else notices the big, gaping hole in your security. 'Tis r teh internetz. We like holz!'
However, for anyone to be 'RabbleRabblePrivacyCompromisedRabbleRabble' is mildly ignorant. Most - if not all - the information that's currently floating out about the ether has been 'compromised' for some time now.
Eh, what's that? You're concerned that your CREDIT CARD number is floating about? Been public knowledge for some time. Thank your card issuer and bank for that one. Oh, and anyone you've ever purchased from.
You're concerned your HOME ADDRESS is floating about? Yep. Got that, too.
PHONE NUMBER? Check.
BUYING HABITS? Double-Check. (We call those 'Public Wish Lists.')
PORN COLLECTION? Yeah, we're still sorting through the chaff from LimeWire.
The second people realize that 'privacy' hasn't existed for awhile now, the better.
If I were running DropBox, I wouldn't go after the guys who exploited a weakness in the way my filesharing worked...I'd fix it. Seems very odd that DropBox would worry about DropShip at all.
This is most likely the cynic in me speaking, but, I'm betting it might have something to do with the same issues most companies have with 'exploits' that are plays-on-words of the company/service name. Some dolt might mistake the two as a service from the same company. And while a company SHOULD praise the people that find exploits, no company likes the feeling that someone outside their payroll found an issue within their systems.
Also, the folks who pay for a higher storage amount might suddenly go into tizzy about 'privacy,' get scared, and leave. Effectively losing revenue for Dropbox.
I agree entirely with your question, though, especially with the bit I've quoted.
My beliefs in the goodness of people went right out the door when working for a drugstore one evening, and I had someone kick in the glass doors for a bottle of NyQuil when there was a 24-hour store down the street.
Or the time someone griping about their EBT card not having an adequate balance came back later and bought three cartons of name-brand cigs.
Oh, or maybe the time I caught someone pissing in the water fountain because they didn't want to bother asking someone for the key-code for the restrooms.
Or when I had someone squat and shit in the middle of a snack aisle. No rhyme or reason.
Could have been when a mother used her young children as distractions as she 'helped herself' to some cosmetics off the peg-wall.
You know, that time when someone swiped their invalid mother's ID card to try and get her prescription painkillers might have done it. By the way, she was already dead, a clerical error had the script filled and waiting for her.
Yeah. Folks are a decent lot. What I will say is this: I find more 'well-to-do'-looking folks are the biggest thieves of all, at least, at a retail level.

OOoh. I see what you did there!
Seriously, though, I can't wrap my mind around why the most clunky, disgustingly inefficient windows managers are installed BY DEFAULT!
You'd think they were trying to copy Win7 and OS X's shinies in some half-arsed attempt to gain followers...

When did Vancouver become part of the US? Did I miss some recent war between the US and Canada?
"Vancouver this week while working in Seattle"
There's ALSO a Vancouver in Washington. Which is where Seattle is. Don't think it was specified WHICH Vancouver.

I think you need to look up the definition of Socialism.... If Hollywood was socialist the movies would be free for everyone.
History Lesson #1:
National Socialist Party.
Commonly shortened to NAZI.
Also, for what it's worth, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi
Hence, the National Socialist/Jew reference was valid.
