In Austria there lived the so called "arsenic eaters", who ingested doses far beyond the lethal dose of arsenic trioxide without any apparent harm. Arsenic is thought to enable strenuous work at high altitudes, e.g. in the Alps. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenic_trioxide)
As an athiest, I do NOT believe in a god(s), an afterlife, ghosts, or anything super natural. This includes: Faith healers, heaven/hell, vampires/werewolves, prayer, divine intervention, creationism, etc.
A good Civ game gets in the way of life, sleep and work, not the other way around. A good session of Civ finishes with the guilty realisation that the sun isn't setting, it's rising.
Been there, done that.:)
Civ II I the reason I always have a clock set up within the eyeline of my computer screen.
Some paragraph breaks would have been your friend here.
I for one wish simultaneous global releases were the norm, as someone who doesn't live in the US and is active on teh interwebs - I get really tired of having the surprise in any decent movie ruined for me before I can see it.
I've lost count of the number of movies I'm 'over' and bored with before they're released here, we've heard the hype and the reviews and the critics and the parodies long before it's legitimately available.
People sometimes have bad days, say things they regret later...on a forum this is all saved forever.
You've obviously never tried to use the search function on the Blizzard forums. When they're active, you're lucky to find a post 6 hours after it was made.
Why don't you worry about your own privacy, and let everyone else worry about there's. If someone wants to post every little piece of minutiae of their lives on the internet, who the fuck are you to tell them they shouldn't? Are they curtailing your ability to preserve your own privacy?
Actualy they do affect my ability to maintain my preferred level of privacy. Firstly by primary privacy loss - they post information which explicitly exposes me (e.g. photos, anacdotes which specifically identify me). And secondly by changing the community expectation as to what is an acceptable level of privacy (as an example read Blind Faith by Ben Elton, it is set in a community where people are expected to live video blog every aspect of their lives, borderline public nudity is normal because modesty = secretive = devious = actively seditious).
But if they all have the same family of machines it will be much easier for the free tech suport to support themm common restore images, driver sets, diagnostics and spare parts, etc...
They don't need to run fibre per person, they need to run it per address. Who knows whether they plan to run fibre to every unit in a block of flats (for example), the number of connections points will be lower than the population so they can spend more per connection.

Personally I don't have a FaceBook account, but have been a LiveJournal user for a decade give or take. I have maintained for years there needs to be a two teir relationship setting, friend (real friends) and acquaintances (friends of friends you want to track, etc...).
The one teir solution means it's all or nothing for many settings.
Your comment reminds me of a headline some years ago ina womens magazine that proclaimed "breasts are in this season" (or maybe out), implying that the size of your breasts was an optional, cosmetic choice.
According to your comment "Tit size has also gone down." referring to playmates. Funny that in the real world women have on average gone up in cup size as a result to the changes in diet in the western world.
Also, as an gamer who spends a lot of time with guys (both online and offline), I can tell you that nearly every man of my acquaintance is breast obsessed in some manner, more is definately better provided you aren't getting into the absurd category.
In all seriousness, unless you turn your printer off at night - or even better, only turn it on when you wish to print: the average printer uses >65% of it's power consumtpion out of standard office hours while in standby mode.
I don't have the source to hand, but I spent 6 months modelling this for Xerox some uears ago when I worked for them.

The canonical definition of chutzpah is to be able to go before the a jury of your piers...
I think you meant 'peers' as in equals, rather than 'piers' being something you tie boats to when not fishing from them...
Vote for the Australian Sex Party in the Senate and have them veto the Internet Filter. Vote for Labour in the Lower House to get the NBN.

But do you believe in the zombie apocolypse?

But as a consumer, why would my opinion matter?
I have to admit, my fist thought after reading about the proposed change was that I won't be bumping the guild recruitment posts anymore.

Surely Friends Reunited or Live Journal pre-date this by a long long time.

Maybe you can swap them for a Farmville cow owned by a guy caled Jack...
surely that would be Natalie Portman...
there must be a bucket of hot grits around here somewhere.
Maybe "The Street"-cred.
I think you've just figured out Facebook's next feature launch - RFID chips for automatic status updates.
What? you expected some degree of optional privacy?

Maybe this girl thought posting that she wanted to work with animals was innocuous...
Where I work we refer to it as "If X wins the lottery" rather than "If X got hit by a bus", it seems less mean spirited.
I think it also accurately reflects the speed with which anyone in this program would leave given the finacial freedom to do so.
Or a Monty Python skit.
It's...
Maybe they don't understand you have to add content to it and have left it blank by mistake.
