All Social Media is about the delusion that the diversity of the whole wide world can be boiled down to everyone who's just like you and everyone else who's wrong and must be censored. 'Hate' means fb'rs would have to motivated sufficiently to even consider that someone who's not them is even worthy of attention however negative. This is a mistake. In fact the very thought is wrong and must be censored. Sorry, but those are the rules.
Is the absurd amounts of craven worship it gets in the press. At Business Insider there's maybe a half dozen articles A DAY extolling the divine greatness which is the iPad.
All owners must hire a state employee to be their driver. Owner passengers must be prohibited from talking, eating, drinking, of course smoking, interacting with any device or person at all times. The state employee hired to drive the vehicle will be the absolute law in the vehicle at all times. All dissent will be punished.
It's highly unlikely fb would want to use intellectual property they didn't already have a very clear sense of needing to use it for their own deployment and not in any financial or legal faculty in order to punish someone else. If Yahoo or Microsoft were to sue fb for infringement against property owned by IBM then they'd have to contend with the armada of IBM and not fb, and that would not be very wise. IBM fought the US government to a stalemate eventually agreeing to a consent decree that was MORE profitable for them than winning the court case.
Doing a little work on their own with little guidance from management. There's a patent program where, they award a few dollars and give your these impressive certificates for successive levels of patent applications and ultimately, an award or two. Because keep in mind there's a huge difference between an application and an award. In order for an application to make it as far as being submitted to the government, it has to pass through an army of attorneys at IBM.
If you are smart enough and fortunate enough to make it through that gauntlet. then the patent goes into a huge database where a different organization scours the countryside hither and yon looking for people who might either buy them, license them or potentially infringe them in which case another battalion of attorneys gets to work.
The fact that IBM even parted with this property means they sold them for more than what they were worth to IBM. And facebook is in way over their depth if they think they're getting the better of Big Blue.
Except that fb ostensibly requires you to be who you say you are subject to termination. I can be Lord Awesome here and believe it or not that's not the name on my W2. Moreover, anyone on this account can be Lord Awesome. And there could even be several Lord Awesomes. One of the precepts of computer security is non-deniability. So my point still stands.
fb assumes under their Terms of Use you are who you say you are subject to expulsion if you violate. AFAIK no other forum requires that. If I want to call myself Lord Awesome then I am Lord Awesome. My W2 however has a different name on it. That's my point. And in fact More than one person can be Lord Awesome.
And there is nothing in the known universe that can drop the price of gasoline even one cent. If it was discovered that the oceans were made from gasoline not even that would make a difference. And as long as there are mean people who don't like me or vote for me that will continue to be the case. Thank you and return to your tools, citizens.
Not ever. Of any kind. And fully expect to never get or need one. It's possible that I'm wrong though and may eventually need to use one but I imagine I'd just use it a a portal to all the other non social media things I'd need to access. There's nothing I want to share with the world, no one I need to friend, I don't play console or computer games. 95% of my non work email is junk. I don't IM outside of work. I don't tweet. I've never had a blog. And where I've felt compelled to comment to some article or such online, those logins use aliases that in no way mimic my name or any personal information about me. I don't do online banking I don't pay bills online. I've never had a debit card or an ATM card.
So my point is, if I tell them all of this then what? They won't hire me BECAUSE I have NO privacy for them to invade?
Public and nationalized are two entirely different things, however much sophomore Marxists confuse them. There are many utilities even in Great Satan USA which are public utilities, such as LIPA once known as LILCO which run better than the erstwhile private entity. Nationalized is when you have a private entity and the government for no know or obvious reason or explanation confiscates it by force and installs cronies to run it. Chavez nationalized the power industry by fiat and the army. He took the property and made it the property of the state, fired all the operating staff and replaced them with political cronies. Castro did the same thing with every private industry in Cuba. It hasn't worked out wonderfully well for either of them. But maybe 'success' wasn't in their wheelhouse of part of their objectives. I suspect they weren't.

Because in the end, all the government can do is say "NO" and that's fine.

Like in that Rutger Hauer movie I forget the name of. When they wander out of the zone, it detonates.

Awesome. Michael Bay will literally own you.
Off topic? I guess that's why people like you get into trouble like this. You don't know how the world operates. Oh well, it will suck to be you.

Are you being intentionally dense? I have to ask that because I can't believe you can't follow my point.

A special camp, for political re education. And a little gold mining. By hand.

Calls it Transformers 4.
What would his platform be? "Like Ron Paul but with even fewer rules and moral obstacles!"
I have a math/econometrics background not an IT background. Spent a whole career in systems analysis, risk analysis and modeling.
Until of course it dawns on you that poor people breathe and use the internet too. Then it's a war crime.

Sounds like that's the plan. You no longer own your own life, you merely rent it from large corporations.
Since that's my first and foremost extension for everything at all times.
Google is perhaps running in a quasi military mad scientist model now.
Or perhaps pull out their tongues. And don't forget to blind people who look at things.
