There's one big advantage with social networking with pseudonyms: you can't find people from real life.
Here, fixed it for you.
Agreed, real names encourage responsible social behavior. But they also encourage social control, government control, and censoring through social, legal, and monetary pressure.
I shouldn't write: "Although my boss doesn't know it yet, I just started looking at other job options." Peter Smith, Austin
I don't want to write: "I had the same problem. Better see a doctor before it spreads." Peter Smith, Austin
Anything I ever said or say online, will be available to my employer, to any future employer, and to anyone trying to harm me. And it will for sure be taken out of context. But once individuals have the same privacy rights as corporations I might reconsider my opinion. Peter Smith, Austin
Once she sees that I tracked her down and followed her halfway across the country to sit at her doorstep and wait for her to come home, she'll be bound to want me back. Fortunately, the MAC was captured from her phone while she was at work and at he gym, so I can always meet her in one of those places if she spots me at her house.
Thanks microsoft, what a great service!
Maybe one would be able to go even a step further. - Not that you have to, your plan is so romantic that I can't imagine any woman not wanting you back. - But just for curiosity, one could check what other MAC address has a similar movement pattern, goes to the movies with her, a restaurant for 73 minutes, and then stays at her place till 7am.
... all moving to G+ and posting there instead will be the death of Facebook, but not a moment before
I actually wouldn't mind if Facebook would survive as a place for Hollywood celebrities and such forth.
All the people I don't want to have around not joining G+ would turn it into G++
Except it wasn't an iPhone but my kitchen phone, and it didn't fall out of my pocket while sky diving but off the wall while diving for ice cream in the freezer.
Oh, there's a difference: At no point could my stupidity have killed anyone else.
When the abuse in Abu Ghraib became public I was surprised by the reactions. Not the shock and/or denial by the public. But the way the soldiers were singled out as a "few bad apples" by people higher up in command.
How apparently normal, non-sadistic, average 20 year olds turned into sadistic guards was classic Zimbardo. I immediately thought of Zimbardo's prison experiment: There doesn't need to be a direct order, all it takes is an environment with unspecific rules and guards wanting to fulfill their role.
Not to defend the soldiers involved in the abuse, but Zimbardo is pretty well known. Either people in charge didn't have the proper skills to set-up a clear structure that would prevent this or they deliberately counted on it to happen, being later able to deny any responsibility and scape-goat the "guards".
Nope. I'm pretty sure you just posted it. Maybe you posted a dupe comment, but it's not the same exact one, just identical.
Actually, a few days ago there was another comment that said" First post!". Maybe just naming yours "First response" or "First comment" would help you not to confuse yourself with other people.
absolutely. I also agree with the commenter below,
And I agree with the comment that's going to be posted an hour from now, on how everything in Ubuntu is broken now, and unity is just he last straw, and that I'm definitely going to switch to something else soon.
Do these routers support Quality of Smoke? Pulled Pork Tunneling Protocol?
Yes even Teriyaki Finished Tender Pork, but you better have a good firewall in place.
The WRT 54 Grillmaster used to be popular for these kind of projects, but because of hardware changes, with new models you now can only use the WRT 54 Grillmaster Lardass, which is kind of overpriced.
If you buy new, it is cheaper to use the WL-520 Grillmaster Unlimited, which also extra Unhealthy Smoker Barbecue support.
So if some bikers meet in a bar and discuss how they're going to kill someone, and then they go and do it, the owners and managers of the bar are guilty?
Only if they're running an IRC server!

Good point, I never even saw Aragorn's birth certificate.
Add some UV night lights and strap a small barrel of rum to the collar: You won't trip over the dog anymore and you can easily find you liquor.
Scorpions are already UV fluorescent but are a real pain to train. Dogs are much safer to hold and pet.
. . . 800 million years ago. While undeniably still an interesting and intriguing find, it was a hotspot, um, a while back.
That fits with some of the complaints that /. is running more and more old stories..
Why doesn't KDE just go with Kontrol Center and let Gnome use System Gsettings ?
Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope discovered a fourth moon orbiting the icy rocky thing we call Pluto.
There... FTFY :D
Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope discovered a fourth dwarf moon orbiting the icy dwarf planet Pluto.
There... FTFY :D :D
-Actually, would it be a dwarf moon, or a dwarf-planet moon? Or -in this case- both?
Either that or Microsoft Office for Linux(tm) is coming soon!*
Seriously, that could happen as an attempt to stick it to Apple.
I routinely get articles from behind paywalls just by messaging friends.
Once you involve friends it's not just cyber terrorism, you are now a cyber terrorist cell
G+ allows anyone with an account to follow Linus's public posts without him having to accept them as his "friends".
But if you are a true follower of Linus, you might really, really care that He, Linus, accepts you as a "friend".

To complete the slashvertisement paradigm.
But correlation is not causation!
-there you go,
happy now?

Don't be stupid. Unless they had special training or are wearing a special suit, most people would pass out at 5g.
I read "Scottish Wave Energy" and the picture that comes to mind is some red-haired bearded guys in Kilts doing the wave.

U.S. Team RoMeLa has swept Robocup 2011, winning first place in both the kid size and teen size divisions.
And at the same time, the US women's soccer team advanced to the Semi final.
I don't like where this is going, Sarah Connor::
The US still sucks, except for robots and women.

BTUs are useful, because your electric heater transforms watt-hours into BTUs.
If you stopped using BTUs consumers would get the impression, that all it does is heat up some wires...
