Sure. So sue your brother-in-law for posting the picture, FaceBook for making it available to the advertiser, and the advertiser for using it. Problem solved, and it has nothing to do with FaceBooks TOS, since, as you say, you never agreed to them.

"Shopper" papers. They're *free*. And they have about as much content as the New York Times.

Yes, but what does Mr. Diller have that anyone is willing to pay for?

Perhaps that is because outages are news, as in "man bites dog".

You say that as though you consider it to be self-evident that it was progress.
Each key fragment should deleted the first time it is accessed. Instead of using pre-existing P2P networks build a special-purpose self-organizing network of all the machines with Vanish running on them which could implement the improvements you suggest.

Looks like the FaceBook TOS includes a model release of a sort, doesn't it?

What if the New York Times puts a photo with you in it on their front page? The photographer owns the copyright.
What is "tech" about this?

Yes, but what does Mr. Diller have that anyone is willing to pay for?

It would seem that Mr. Atwood has never done any engineering.
Only if both processes are 100% efficient. Neither can be.

How is that going to get them more eyeballs to sell to their advertisers?
Quit vacuuming and pretty soon all your cables will be nicely concealed.
Google "air gap".
If you get the government too enthused about Free Software they may decide to "help" it.
So you are French, are you?
I was not responding to you.

And some of my ancestors were some of those British. You might consider acquiring a sense of humor.
