It means that even as most Slashdotters TRASH Facebook, the secret reality is that they not only have accounts, they spend a lot of "social" time on those accounts!
What Facebook doesn't seem to realize is that my Facebook "friends" aren't really my friends...
What you don't seem to realize is that Facebook doesn't care about what you think and who you think your friends are. Facebook is simply enlarging their HUGE database for mining profitable connections. It's all about gathering information and AFTERWORDS letting loose the statisticians and analysts. If there was not HUGE amounts of money involved, they would not do it.
The pencil-necked bean-counting abacas drivers at Facebook are tapping into the value of BILLIONS of pieces of ennui.
Don't you understand? People who sign up for Facebook *WANT* these things - their pathetic lives would be even less without their "friends". Without Facebook, many people have NOTHING!
I already have a phone that does this. As someone who is aware of my surroundings and generally conscientious, I simply turn my phone to "vibrate" or even - God forbid - OFF... It works very well indeed. And I even still receive alerts if a call or text came in. Amazing technology.
So you are opposed to transparency when it might hurt something you approve of. Interesting.
I'm not at all opposed to "transparency" with how oil companies operate. As well, I don't have a problem with gas tax that pays for roads and transportation that we all use.
I am, however, opposed to people who pontificate as "Anonymous Cowards" and expect to be taken seriously. Man, if you believe it, log in to your account and post. Posting as as an "Anonymous Cowards" is the sure sign of a Karma Whore - learn to take your "Flamebait" and "Troll" along with your Interesting" and "Insightful".
Why don't fuel pumps mention the $0.18/gallon federal gasoline tax? Or the $0.38/gallon (California) state gasoline tax? Both are greater profit margin than the "greedy" store, the "greedy" refiner, or the "greedy" oil company.
The state and federal gas tax pays for things like roads. You do like to drive on roads, yes? Well, they don't just pop up and maintain themselves...
By the way, what where Exxon and BP's reported profits last year?
Ãoeber nerds think Ãoeber Nerdiness is the greatest thing since, well, I was going to say "sliced bread", but probably they really mean masturbation to tentacle porn.
So, tell me... If this is a "union labor" issue, why don't we see these problems with the 767, built in Seattle by your dreaded union labor? Probably because the issue has nothing to do with union vs non-union.
If anything beyond a "bleeding edge" technology issues, it's outsourcing major components that should be looked at.
But thanks for your red herring political screed⦠Howâ(TM)s the Tea Bag holding up?
Possibly. But a lot of cars are built that way too
True, but note that in fact there are many many "recalls" for critical problems with autos every year. Yet there is a difference between an auto traveling on a surface road with 2 or 6 passengers, and a jet at 30,000 with 200 passengers. When one catches fire, it's going to be a little more catistropic than the other...
Of course your post is both a troll and falimbait.
The 787 is built from components made around the world, mostly by non-union workers. The Boeing plant in South Carolina that does 787 assembly is non-union.
It is that people are told to vote whether they understand the issues or not. When people vote without knowing what they are voting for, they are at best adding noise to the system
Ah, I get it. Only those that agree with your "correct" point of view should be allowed to vote.
Next up: Forced sterilization of the hoi polloi (it's for their own good!)...
I was merely pointing out the most common thing people do with such videos, and what officer said she was trying to prevent.
Note that the officer said this AFTER THE FACT while trying to justify their own illegal behavior.
Also, it is irrelevant what the individuals mental state was, this was an event taking place in PUBLIC involving PUBLIC SERVENTS. In other words, a PUBLIC EVENT.
Voting numbers are so pathetically LOW that really you are right. But the actual REASON that voting doesn't matter is that people like YOU can't be bothered to put down the beer can and go out and vote.
The United States Homeland Security should not be involved in arresting people in Saipan.
How do you feel about the interdiction of cocaine / methamphetamine submarines in international waters? Are you "OK" with several tons of laboratory quality meth landing in your city?

Very well articulated, better than myself.
Thank you...

Ha ha ha ha...
Modded "Troll"!
You know what that means?

Too sweet!

Additional levels of automated stalking!!!

Yup. I wanna look like a fucking jackass, but it costs too much money.
How very shallow. How old are you? 16?
That's a common myth based on the existence of a "vomitorium". But the "vomitorium" was actually just the exit from a sports stadium.
Yes, "Anonymous Coward", I too read the Wikipedia article, which has little to do with the well known Roman custom.
You can't vomit regularly; you get ulcers, it becomes extremely painful, and it destroys your esophagus and your teeth.
Clearly you were not in a fraternity.
So you are opposed to transparency when it might hurt something you approve of. Interesting.

This is going to revolutionize nutrition and eating, just like the Ginger/Segway has revolutionized transportation in our cities.
If the Segway was not so damn expensive, more people might use them.
I'd rather do it the Roman way - stuff myself silly and drink until dawn, than just vomit it all up...

One thing we can agree on in union vs. non-union debates, is that it's always management's fault.
In Boeing's case, demonstrably true.

You are an idiot.
The door to the brothel you frequent is a public place. Can we film it.?
Yes.

Oh, that's good, acting like voting matters.

By the way... Saipan is the largest island of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, an unincorporated territory of the United States.
So it is well within the scope of the Homeland Security Thugs...
The United States Homeland Security should not be involved in arresting people in Saipan.
How do you feel about the interdiction of cocaine / methamphetamine submarines in international waters? Are you "OK" with several tons of laboratory quality meth landing in your city?
Well... First please understand this is not a "flame" ...
But if this tablet's UI is as non-intuitive and non-useful and the original OLPC, I sure hope it's open enough to load something else on.
The best thing about the OLPC that I bought is the Wi-Fi range. But that's it, otherwise useless even to my children.
Catholic girls... My essentially atheist son married one of those. Very smart lady, very good decision.
I see that he chose to ignore my question about what kind of flea comb he uses.
