The lack of privacy used by FB violates the Privacy rights of Citizens of Canada and the EU who live in the US, under the Data Privacy treaties that the US is signatory to.
No amount of pretending people are public figures will change that basic fact.
Even for those of us who may or may not be infamous on the Net. Not that I'm admitting anything.
You can't make me sign away my Canadian Constitutional Rights.

And the effective tax rate on Billionaires is in the single digits.
Heck, most corporations pay less than 8 percent effective tax, due to exemptions and loopholes.
It's why Greece is going broke - everyone who isn't a millionaire or a corpoation has to pay taxes, but not the Rich or the Corporations.
(caveat - my tax rate is incredibly low too - legally - cause I know about these nutso loopholes and exemptions)
It's called meme bombing and it's the only weapon the 99 percent have to fight back against the Corporations That Are People But Never Go To Jail Or Get Executed.
It's just the start. SOPA, PIPA, and ACTA are abominations.
If you want us to rise up with pitchforks and torches, RIAA, you're doing a fine job.
According to recent research, a large quantity of Russian rivers that flow North are dumping unusually high amounts of fresh water into the Arctic Ocean.
Either that or Dick Cheney cause it's all due to Global Warming.
Without those, we're talking an ice free passage in the Arctic from Greenland to Alaska, the melting of enough of Antarctica to raise sea level 4-5 meters (that's 20 feet GW deniers), and hurricanes with enough energy input to make Florida look like a 24/7 disaster zone.
That said, I will bet Mittens' $10,000 that GW deniers will try to mod this entire topic down, using some of the $50,000 I have invested in energy stocks to pay for the posters.
On a lot of the writers blogs that professional authors discuss things on, they talk a lot about how hard it is just to pub a Short Story or Novel for platforms like Droid, iPad and iPhone.
So, I believe they will actually welcome this, although the inbetweeners won't.
You had registers? Luxury! We had one one-bit register and we had to remember its state.
Well, I lived in a province of Canada back then, so remembering the state of the register was pretty hard to do. Was it 48 or 50, never could remember.
*Sigh* here we go again with the false equivalence squad.
If you can't see why your "hurr durr so is amerikuh" statement is a bunch of crap, let's make the following deal: I'll go stand in an anti-government protest here in the States, and you go stand in Red Square with those protesting Putin's latest power grab.
If we're lucky, you'll be able to write letters from prison telling us how it went.
Unlike you, I actually served. Mostly here.
After you, Gaston.
They used to require us to do pre and post briefings before we traveled to places like Russia, if we held clearances, which I did.
So, you can man up when you want. I'll still be here, having done more than you probably ever will.
Bioinformaticians also have to wrap their heads around the fact that biology changes while you measure it, and that not everything that can be measured is binary on/off or straight digital, but the very methodology of measurement needs to match what you're measuring.
A lot of good computer programmers will never be good bioinformaticians, just as a lot of good biologists or biochemists will never be good bioinformaticians. It is possible training can help some of them, but unlikely it could help all of them.
They have plenty of storage. It's just Darwinists covering up evidence of ID by throwing away the evidence that points to that conclusion. That way the researchers get to keep their jobs that allow them to bilk millions form the government. Oh, wait, this doesn't involve climate change, so I'll be modded down instead of up.
Actually, we're covering up the fact that your DNA not only encodes for you to have lungs, it also codes for you to have gills and turn into Zombie Lizards, if we just expose it to the correct biochemistry and environmental conditions.
You should see what embryos look like in the early stages.
You store the sequence as a chain of different types of molecules (I'll call them "base pairs") which can link together, that way the storage will take up really minimal space. You could even have a chemical process which replicated the original, to produce more of the original.
But the vessels that are used to perform those chemical processes take up a hell of a lot of space.
Bizarrely, if the size of the vessels is measured in non-metric they're considerably bigger.
Not really, you can store DNA in paraffin or in freezers. You're thinking functional biochemical DNA in a working unit, not DNA used for transcription.
Sequencing is pretty cheap now. Analysis and processing is expensive. Storage isn't that big of a deal, really, if you do it right, although SNPs do churn up TB of data storage.
The actual shifts, misfolds, deletes, and insertions around hotspots in the DNA sequence itself stores adaptive information that allows DNA to replicate differently in different biochemical and environmental conditions, so that you can survive famine AND feast, or cold AND heat.
Just because you think it's useless and repetitive doesn't mean it IS useless OR repetitive.
Some of it is, of course, like the viral rewrites from infections. Some is backup adaptations that you may not think useful today, but allow you to have gills - which you will need when global warming results in Bangladesh being underwater.
We don't use clouds. Especially for human subjects. We might use a lab-only distributed storage paradigm, but it's not a "cloud", since we tightly control access and location.
A lot of what you think of as noise - inserts, deletes, misfolds - is in fact, either viral rewrites of DNA segments or is actually genetic programming that allows DNA to adapt and express differently in different biochemical and environmental conditions - kind of like how we used to code chip storage to store more data than we could use in the old days before RAM or storage was cheap.
The problem is that we lack the open-source tools and the ability to recognize what we need.

But then, that was on ARPA NET.
He owes me royalties.
RIAA needs to grow a pair.

I'm waiting until they release Firefox 13 release 2.
It's a bit twee, but the graphics are very cool.
And it handles Kanji like a pro!
Is it normal for a warzone to have functioning WiFi?
Sure, just like it's normal to take things that drop out of the sky and plug them into the wall.
Well, if they're USB 3.0, sure.
Most likely one of those honor jailings, just like the honor killings parents do in Canada cause their kids become westernized.
Information just wants to be free - it doesn't belong to anyone, no matter whose USB stick it is on.
There are two things I don't trust.
Q. What are they?
A. Anti-virus coders
Q. And?
A. Carnies. They have small hands.

That and some volcanoes.

Just pull the plug on SOPA and nobody gets hurt.
This means you too, EA.
I've given you tens of thousands of dollars over the decades, but my checkbook and credit card is shut if you don't back down.

Actually, my copy of Firefox crashed this morning on my 6 core Win7 machine.
Hey, I know!
Let's run it at Ring Zero - the Blue Ring of Death!
Eight bits, I tell you.
And we pushed the registers ourselves!
Lazy coders ...

Come on, everyone wants lots of Russian friends on both Twitter and Facebook!
But us calling them a dictatorship?
Please, have you looked in the mirror lately?

Mod parent up.

My old ID was 5 digits, but then I used to remember when 300 baud was fast, and we used bubble memory and LED ribbons for screens.
It is not redundant data.
