There are some people who post on facebook what they ate for breakfast and when they go to the bathroom. I'm sure they'd love to be able to automatically post when they buy something.
I use them mostly because anyone I want to talk to has moved away and that's the only way to get in touch. But also, as has been said on/. before, I have more control over my profile. Right now Facebook thinks I live in Timbuktu (it's pretty amusing to post something and see "near Timbuktu" on it), rather then being forced to use algorithms to determine where I am, which would probably be pretty accurate.
A lot of times its for updates. As the AC below mentioned, YUI allows off-site hosting or on-site. I tend to use the off-site because if they put out a bug fix then it's updated automatically and I don't have to re-download whatever is affected. Also licensing issues might prevent the script from being hosted locally.
If the only social contact you have is through facebook I'd say that you're pretty anti-social already. Wall posts, messages, and facebook chat are not the same as a good face to face conversation. IE, hanging out.
I'm not about to make a statement like GP did, mostly because I don't believe that the EU will collapse anytime soon, but I also am ignorant of its workings. So care to enlighten us?
Oh I'm aware of what it's for. My post was in response to GP's saying that a driving test was required. I was wondering in if those states a permit is considered a driving test since as far as I had heard they didn't require one (though again this was something like 7 years ago so things may have changed).
If by DL you mean driver's license, I know that in CA you need a birth cert as well as an SSN to obtain one. Though those are pretty easy to obtain as well I imagine.

"That girl has some serious temperature"
My boss wears a kilt on special occasions. It looks very hard to sit down in...
That's pretty low odds, considering how many people are boning around the world.
And what would that be, pray tell?
Sounds like instead of tin foil hats, they need tin foil underpants.
Beautiful.
Whoo we have an Apple Fanboi here!
Is removing the battery called LiPosuction?
But isn't it EA that actually owns the copyrights on the game?
You know, those people exist.
I think the idea is that those kind of people wouldn't be interested in this kind of a project.
There's a very subtle difference between aw and ah. I'm certainly no linguist, but I think it's awe vs ach (with an almost silent c).
I refuse to accept their name change and still call it SciFi. But I don't watch it anymore anyway :( it's really gone downhill in the last few years.
it's definitely a sleep taker if you catch my drift
No... I've never heard that phrase before...
The problem is it won't. Most people will simply click through it, anxious to get on with their facebooking, without reading it.

Used with adblock it's very effective.

I use Ghostery for Chrome. Works like a charm-I haven't seen a Facebook like button in almost a month.

If a driver has a driver's permit do they consider that time spent driving to be a drive test, or does the test have to be with a licensed instructor?

And then the owner died, leaving all that money to his widow who needs your help to retrieve it.
Don't be sorry, that was really good :D
