Actually, until Typhoid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoid) struck in the late 19th century, even king's used to defecate in their bedrooms. The stench of feces used to be quite common amongst the civilised.
It usually takes a large amount of death/discomfort/destruction for things to change unfortunately. Especially with such a large public works project such as sanitation and clean water.
All though the Thames still stinks, I'm sure that it used to be much, much, much worse than even India at the time.
I also have no idea how that is flamebait, but it's a simple fact of corporate life. If you have something embarassing in your past, it may damage the brand of the corporate that you're working for. Never underestimate the power of a dirty underhanded coworker to engineer compromising photographs of someone to drop into the wrong hands at exactly the wrong time.
As I said, doesn't matter if you're a developer, but does matter if you become upper management.
And I agree it is possible, hence why I stated the pull of fully exposing.
Do you know how many Junior's we see that apply who have very questionable photos on their FaceBook pages that get pulled up by a simple Google search?
Not really relevant for a junior hire, but the second that you become even somewhat executive, these kinds of things come back to haunt you.
I still don't understand the pull of fully exposing your private life on the internet for everyone to see. We have encapsulated our lives for countless generations to allow for you to interact with society as a whole without being violated by something in your private sphere.
I would not trade my privacy for security, and especially not give it away to a faceless corp like facebook.

I have a handle on the side of my laptop that I can crank to make it go faster.
What have you done that's likely to last a hundred years?
There's plenty of recursive functions and while loops that spring to mind.
Funny how an anti-hacking site is breached by a bunch of twits.

Maybe he's going after the people that didn't show cleavage? Maybe God is just a vengeful voyeur?!?
Now they're offshoring windfarms!
What's next, outsourcing water pipes?
Note to mods, this is tongue in cheek.
When, oh when, will we all wake up and give Jobs the title he so sorely deserves?

I'm under NDA.
Hey, you never know... they might use your app to approve your app!
Then sue you to kingdom come.
Make love, not cancer?
Yes, you're right. Look like they need to go out and buy a new Magic 8-Ball.

So do we need to take Bender's lead and start to pollute like we've never polluted before?

Surprise surprise. It's hard to lie when everyone can see right through you.
What, the film studio? :P
Sure, why the hell not? There are plenty of Intrepid Space cadets in NYC.
