Okay, I will shamefully admit that I had a MySpace account for all of three months. I had a problem with a stalker when I was in college, and still to this day have to redirect him from my Web site, and since I can't redirect people from MySpace like I can my personal blog, I deleted my MySpace account. Simple.
If you are that concerned, remove your content, or don't publish information that you don't want people to know. Simple.
Nothing is stopping Facebook's users from removing their profiles, or removing certain snippits of content, that is wholly up to the user. If the user is that concerned about stalking, then they should make the necessary changes and take subsequent percautions.
Perhaps calling your friends after a break-up and telling them is a better idea than posting it on a Web site, especially if you are concerned about the ramifications of random people knowing you're single.
My university has the same policy.
The difference being that we provide wireless routers in all the dormitories so, in theory, the students should have wireless access.
Whether this proves to be true I am not sure.
The interesting thing is that no one has been able to come up with a good reason for telling students they can't use their own routers.
Interestingly enough not all the wireless routers in the dorms haven't been "turned on" yet. So only some students have wireless access, and those that do have it complain that the signal is weak.
A friend of mine has the original sidekick and I am always utterly jealous of it.
I mean, how great is it that I could be sitting at Denny's drinking coffee and doing a crossword and I could pull out my phone, hop on the 'net and find the answer to that really tricky clue.
I've used the original on several occassions and it's not too big, actually it's pretty much the perfect size for a phone.
The only drawbacks I see are explaining to people that "yes, it's a phone." and the awkwardness of dialing. Other than that, I would say this phone is just right.
Perhaps the US government should start using text message lingo in their memos.

Could make decoding sensitive documents much more difficult and at the same time provide jobs for teenage cryptologists.

and I'll help you dispose of the body.
The usage of these terms is one thing when read in comments, but in the headline? On the front page?!
The minute I see "teh" in a Slashdot headline I will seriously have to think about not reading it anymore...
