What's with you iFanboys?!? First the ad that says you can talk on your iPhone and browse the web at the same time - Whippie! I have been doing that on my Android phone since day 1 and even on a Windows Mobile phone before that! Now you drool as an iPhone comes out in a different color! Oooooowwweee the iNatives coo at the color change...
The question I'm asking is: Why were the relationships lost in the first place?
People graduate from high schools and collages, people get new jobs, people move, etc etc etc. Not every relationship gets curtailed because you no longer relate to your past friendships.
Yes however demonstrably there were not that worth it for you to maintain contact. And that's the real point.
Is Facebook that much more convenient than e-mail, IRC, SMS, IM, or a telephone call?
It very much is, and follows the pattern of young people tending to send text messages instead of calling someone directly. It is a more passive, less confrontational, and overall more convenient way to engage with another person who would not be otherwise directly accessible.
Young people text because they are too lazy to even spell out "you"!
Actually I think Betty White said it best when she said: "It seems like a tremendous waste of time"
Christianity is the belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.
Why should anybody be taxed by the US for working outside the US?!? This is ludicrous! Can't the US compete WRT to taxes?!? And if it takes 24,000 pages of tax return for GE to file then the system is horribly broken. Why pay income taxes at all? You do realize that for most of the countries life we didn't have such a free market killing system? The income tax came about only last century.
I don't get it. I got a GV number. I already use it. I already use Google voicemail, etc. About the only thing I can see this teaming up as buying you is that you can use your old Sprint phone number. I've already went through the exercise of telling everybody my GV number instead of my Sprint number. In my mind my Sprint number is already considered a hidden or private number. Why would I want to now go back and tell everybody "Oh you remember my phone number that I gave you? That was really a Google Voice number. Nevermind what that was. Use my new number, which was my old Sprint number instead". Talk about simply adding confusion...
Yeah they are as dead as:
. The yellow pages
. Newspapers
. Checkbooks (or even checks for that matter)
. ATM machines...
Speaking of that last one, I've heard of some back wanting to charge $5 for a simple ATM transaction. I rarely use and ATM machine or cash. If a vendor doesn't accept a credit/debit card I simply go somewhere else...
I never know why some people insist on clinging to the past when there are better ways to do things right under their noses.
You're assuming "something different" is always better. Term limits would kill any good politician from running again. We already have a mechanism for getting rid of bad politicians - it's called the voting booth. It would be far better to spend time making the voters more educated...
Perhaps you should brush up on your own English there bud. I'm not sure if I could "lot" in anywhere because I don't know how to "lot"!! And a period after Florida would be appropriate here. Geeze!
First off, if my employer was snooping on me to this extent I wouldn't want to be fucking working for them in the first place! Secondly all you need to say is "That's not me".
On computers, things get deleted all the time. Proving that you erased something doesn't really say what that something is you erased. You don't need to explain why you didn't use your computer to store information - you could just say you kept it in your mind or whatever.
Actually the National Enquirer has broken a number of news stories more accurate than other media outlets... And yes, we have degraded that far down if not further down. The average American is now stupider than a 5th grader!
Respect is earned - not simply given. Jobs hasn't particularly earned my respect. His public persona is part and particle part of Apple. As such his life, or lack thereof, *is* important and the public and share holders want to know about it. Also, there is no afterlife.
To me he looks too much like the guy in "The 6th day" where the evil ruler of the corporate empire keeps cloning himself and the clone gets up and kills the current version of the CEO to replace him. Coincidence? I think not!
Actually your understanding is wrong. Had his form of pancreatic cancer been the same as Swayze's then he'd be dead already. Please try to educate yourself before making foolish statements.

What are these paper documents you speak of?

Try the veal!
Maybe most people equate "colonize space" with "colonize the solar system" which, last time I checked, is also "space"!
What do you mean "C:\ Prompt"? Did you mean the "bash-4.1$" prompt?

My god when will they ever stop this BS!

So is communism! There are those who can't handle choice. We should give them the *choice* of moving to a communist regime!
There's a cure?!? I didn't know it was a disease! ;-)

But it doesn't take "significantly more" processing power.

Stop moving the fucking clock already! It does nothing 'cept confuse people!
First off, if my employer was snooping on me to this extent I wouldn't want to be fucking working for them in the first place! Secondly all you need to say is "That's not me".
I don't get it. Simply say "Sorry, I don't use Facebook" and you done. What's the problem here? Move along, nothing to see here...

Of course you'd have to prove that he deleted it.
