Dude you werent really wrong, the thing is you conceded that your relationship status was a private matter, so it sort of is outside the scope of this discussion. The question was if there was a different between public information and pubicly announced information...and you were right on that point.
No, facebook/internet is like a book...unless a book is opened to page X where such information is contained, whether that information existsted within that book is irrelevent. Books...with pages...internet...with pages... I mean the analogue continues...
In any case, I am fully aware that anything I write on my facebook account is public information, however I dont like the idea of a page that is "tracking changes." The changes are different than the information..its a derivative of the information...and that derivation, the extra step taken by facebook, of making feeds is what bothers me, not issues around my privacy.
I think feeds need to refine what information it displays...I feel like when someone puts a NOTE up on facebook, and it shows up on the feed, that is really really useful...but I am not a fan oh so and so left this group or so and so became friends with whoever...
Actually, I am not sure what the status in the courts is, but bill of rights amendments can be infringed upon slightly if there is a compelling government interest and if it uses the least restrictive means. Obviously there is a compelling government interest, but the least restrictive means is debatable. Its prolly in the courts. I am against the Patriot Act. But as an American I am not going to overthrow the government, I am going to have faith in the design of the governmnet and the constitution. I am not completely sure, but I bet the Patriot Act is somewhere in the court right now and they are prolly debating it to hell. I would suspect it would be enjoined slightly.
Could we use this system for a sort of house PA system. I am thinking I could use such a thing. You know, make announcements that must be heard, through these wireless speakers. Maybe programs that at set times, play some music during a some time, and it must be heard. Do you kinda get what I am saying? A PA system, with the capability of making timed pre-recorded etc announcemnts.
Isn't whipping out a dictionary and quoting verbatim a little antagonistic?
Actually, I thinking whipping out a gun or a genital is antagonistic.... just my thoughts...
AND WHOOHOO LINUX!

I completely agree with graffix jones...funny thing is he calls MankyD obtuse and gets modded to 5 and teamhasnoi is still troll.
"[...]that most people don't see this as an information-theoretic problem." GODDAMN EXACTLY!
