... they also provide a -1 too. I'd like to mod a page down as a method of balancing.
I thought the same thing when I first saw the silly icon.
The first thing that hit me after I wished for a -1 was, "Oh... Then we'll have wars between spam-happy pushers and corporations. It (the +1, -1 system) will be used so much there will be DoS arising from it no time flat.":)
I don't know about anyone else, but I sort of (logically) assumed (no ass jokes, please) that this was the case.
In other words, imagine Google and what "it" does. Imagine the amount of money they take in on a daily, monthly, yearly basis. Now tear it down into its components and don't just assume the logo is what makes it all happen; where does all of this money come from. Data - data that's sold.
What happens when a company (extended context: a person, a country, anything that involves a Human) do when it reaches its peak of success and solidarity? It tries to gain more... From boredom? From lack of affirmation? From aggression? That's how I see it - LOGICALLY - not emotionally. This is not troll material, just observation.
So where does Google make more money if they aren't just doing it with Ad data - get some more data. How do you get more data? There are lots of ways to do it.... but if you want to get data that's hard data and not assumed data in any way, where would you gather it through the WWW? Interface. Everything a user does on their computer that can be recorded should be recorded. Easiest way with the least malware (in the proper respect to its name) is clicks. Anything that's clicked is recorded as data.
The data can be used for something, it can be sold, or it can do both. Logically, why would Google not do both? Better "products" created using acquired data for better demand, and more data to sell.
That's crazy talk. Waiting for someone to approve something would take so much of everyone's PRECIOUS time that they would just DIE waiting for it!!! OMG OMG!!!
I wish I were exaggerating that statement from the crap that goes on all day.
Facebook still has broken privacy controls? That's crazy talk, next you're going to be telling me the sky is blue!
If I told you I knew it was a different color, one that you've never heard of before, would you pay me for that information? Oh, and for a little more you can get the properties of TheWorld(tm) that control that color; nobody but you will know!
Oh.. and make sure you give me all of your personal identification, including SSN, bank card information, phone numbers, addresses, everything.
It's uhh.... for tax and um, security reasons and will not be used for any other PurPose(tm).:->
Ahh, I crack myself up. If only it were further from the crap that happens.
I heard over in Russia they still do a weird thing that isn't really acceptable here...
I've heard they like... uh.... I can't even pronounce the words but I'll give it a shot..... They 'talk to people face-to-face, in-person'. Whew. It's so hard to do!!!!!!
I can't say I'm right and I can't say I'm wrong... but what I smell (knee-jerk reaction) is a nice little change made quickly and simply with a nifty little "feature" instead of "bug":
Post crap, don't allow one of your friends to see it, have others see it (who are also friends with the one who can't), have friends jabber with friends and start mini-conflicts..... PROFIT! More time on the 'book means more ad hits. Virtual social world - priceless.
How about deep space? Deep space with nuclear power and....
WAIT, I wouldn't have a job if crap didn't break!
*changes tone in political fashion*
What I meant was, failures are GOOD. Failures keep system administrators and finance individuals on their toes with experience. It's good for the whole family as well as the whole nation! Go disaster! *fake grin*:)

Ain't that the truth.
My comment I posted, before refreshing and re-reading the comment tree, could use what you said here as its title :)

Win, win. Logically. /logic :)
...arrest children for mumbling twinkle twinkle little star while waiting for the bus...
You predict the future too well, my Anonymous Coward. :)
The revolution will not be broadcasted.......
Whatever. It SO WILL. There's a lot of PROFIT in that!
Oh, wait.. I need to follow the rules. Someone caught me earlier today, so here we go:
Phase 1: Revolution!
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: PROFIT!!!
Wait, profit comes before 2.... or before 1? Hell I dunno. :>
Ever since their mother's death, MLK's children have done nothing but fight over the rights in regards to their father
...I believe you call that process "typical".
I live above a funeral home so I "know my shit" on that one.
...Then if we the people enjoy that...
I see a copyright violation in that!!!
Other than that, it's beautiful. :>
SWEET!
"Twistings" are gonna be the crap that's in the next scholastic text book set for grade school students that costs over $100/book. :>
I copyright the concept! Oh, wait... Prior art. D'oh!
That's crazy talk. Waiting for someone to approve something would take so much of everyone's PRECIOUS time that they would just DIE waiting for it!!! OMG OMG!!!
I wish I were exaggerating that statement from the crap that goes on all day.
$#!+ !!!!!
You didn't copyright that yet, did ya? :>

My brain hurts.
This just in: Water is still wet! The Sahara is still hot! Politicians are still lying!
What???? Politicians are STILL LYING?
My mom told me last week that there was a press statement years ago that said it officially didn't happen! :>
It's not in Facebook's best corporate interest to follow privacy rules. Therefore, it's not in our best interest to use Facebook.
Your completely sound logic with a decent level of intelligence is awesome. That's why it won't work ;)
Stupidity, ignorance, and drama always create more of a flow pattern.

Eh? Eh?
That's right. We DO owe them, now don't we?
Penis length measurement ensues; we won't leave it because we know it will be in demand. L:)
Except there's no human-meaningful temperature in vacuum. Or space for that matter, being close enough approximation of it.
...Radiation? Oh, wait.. We tried that already. Money gets in the way :)
...Which species survived better, the ones with thick armour/defence or the ones who were more agile?
Umm.. Both?
Your point is moot.
Short answer: No.
's/want/demand/' :>
Nah, quakes happen on the moon..

The OP's question was "but only charge donors if the goal is reached?"
I looked at this site and its FAQ and I don't see where they mention they have a goal-cutoff point.
Did you see that?
So, put enough geek boys and and enough geek girls in a room and you produce Shakespeare?
Depends on the type and potency of the alcohol.
Absinthe isn't real; I'm just making this crap up. LOL
Quothe the geek: "Or am I?"
Mwahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaahhhh *pass out*
The speeds at which the garden-variety nerd rules out possible mating partners is both superhuman and subatomic.
Let me r3verse that. ;)

Heh, I crack myself up. If only it weren't true. :-|
Heh, correct.
"Theory" sounds a bit more scientifically proven and factual without a need for doubt, just improvement.
Scientific theory states that I am invincible from auto accidents, did you know that? :>
