Correction: Facebook only allows one account per e-mail address. And I do hope that your work e-mail is different from your private e-mail. And that if you work for 2 masters at once, that you've got a different work e-mail for each of them.
So...what happens when you tell them you do not have a Facebook or other social website account?
What if they already searched for you on Facebook, found your account, saw your photos (and as soon as you walked into the room: yes, it's you on these photos).
So now you not only need to remove any compromising photos before going to an interview, but any photo showing your face.
But you can still try to convince them you did have one until yesterday, but then removed it because it was forcing you to use timeline or whatever silly excuse...
I was one of the "John Doe's" during the DeCSS episode. Eventually, the school where I had hosted my DeCSS mirror got a letter from the MAFIAA. We had a meeting (including school director, a couple of teachers, etc.), and together we decided to do nothing, and to just ignore it. Nothing ever followed, the site stayed up for years after this, until it fell into obsolescence.
More recently, I posted a video on Facebook to mock the Costa Concordia disaster: a photo of captain Schettino with "Alles im Griff auf dem sinkenden Schiff" ("everything under control on the sinking ship") by Udo Jürgens as the sound track. Predictably the automated system pulled the video, and sent me a take-down notice giving me the option to file a counter notice. Which I did: the video went back online, is still online, and this act never had any consequences.
But maybe it helps that I don't live in the US...
In general, if I get legal threats from abroad I ignore them. If I get legal threats from a local lawyer, I remove the offending item but never respond to or acknowledge the letter, nor pay any fines or whatever additional thing they ask for. So far, I've never got a problem from this approach.
But in one area the US shines: it is the head of a world-wide crime syndicate (the MAFIAA) that is telling nations worldwide how they should write their laws. That's true world domination!
Indeed, what good is the ability to manufacture your own electronic devices if the MAFIAA tells you which devices you are allowed to manufacture? And what good is the ability to run a successful economy if the MAFIAA then hits you up for protection money (also known as royalties and license fees...)
You really, really had to stretch for that one didn't you,
You mean, like that famous chap from the Christmas Islands? Indeed, he can stretch it wide enough to drive an entire Whole Foods robotic shopping cart through it!
like shopping with 50 of your closest friends in a closet
Wow, that must be quite a bang! But to "do it" with 49 guys at once, I'd imagine you'd have to be quite self-confident, no? so why are y'all still in the closet?
... and the cart can't find its way around the other shoppers. Remember, compared to its "owner" the cart is rather bulky, and may have some trouble advancing in situations which pose no problem for the owner...
He was impersonating modems using sniffed MAC addresses, which is only possible if the network is running without encryption
Are you sure about this? Many encryption schemes only encrypt the payload, not link-level headers, such as the MAC address. Or how else would the modem be able to figure out which packets are for itself, and which aren't? Attempting to decrypt every packet (including those not intended for it) would be a huge performance drain.

They should have gotten a proctologist to design something.
The pyramid looks like a giant tooth, and is in Egypt (...not on the Christmas Islands)
Long time alcoholics tend to suffer from a duality within the mind, the one who wants to stay sober, and the other that wants to drink.
That's what shandy is for...
... alcohol can treat LSD addiction.
... yet nobody cares if you create more than one.
Employers need you more than you need them.
True enough. But for any job-seeker with enough spine to say no, there are hundreds lined up before the door who'll gladly pick up that bar of soap...
Especially since stuff such as ads or upcoming events showing along any page while logged in could give away protected information...
According to TFA (and even the summary) they are asking the employee to log into their own account and watch, not to give up their password.
log into their own account... on a computer provided by the company, which could have a keystroke logger on it?
Or did they ask you to bring a laptop to the interview beforehand?

So a republican wishing to jab Obama does the right thing by posting a secret treaty online.
It's no longer secret. It has been officially opened as soon as the first countries started signing it.
The letter stated that i owed 6000 euro to some lawyer in Munchen.
hehe, you were not the only one, welcome to the club!
But I've got some good news for you: the lawyer has committed suicide in 2010 :-)

Police are pretty good with dealing with property crimes. Not so much with everything else...
Not even that. Usually it goes like this:
Indeed, what good is the ability to manufacture your own electronic devices if the MAFIAA tells you which devices you are allowed to manufacture? And what good is the ability to run a successful economy if the MAFIAA then hits you up for protection money (also known as royalties and license fees...)
I'm telling them that I'm going to tell Shima to get stuffed...
A better question is do you, every time you go to Disneylad, say you're visiting "Godsville"?
Wouldn't MAFIAAville (or "The Evil Kingdom (tm)") be more appropriate?
Or failing to find a specific solution for Wordpress: Use perl's WWW::Mechanize to click that DB upgrade link (and any other GUI-only things) for you.

Because it sounds like one always is given your definition.
That is the whole point...
oh yeah, first!

I think it is a rather large boat...
With Schettino at the helm...
And in the enterprise world, he's got a golden lifeboat that he can fall into when things turn sour....
No, the "hole" charge carriers in a semiconductor are not really antiparticles...
