This is the banking system argument. Unfortunately for this to be similar, there would have to be body snatchers, clones, and/or maybe Ghost in the Shell type brain hacking allowing people who look like you, talk like you, and know enough about you and/or has access to everything you know letting them to walk up to your bank, in person, and withdraw all your cash.
Unless you're proposing Facebook get into the firewall/anti-virus/malware-cleaning business and running something like Blizz's Warden program in the background.
1) That card is overplayed. 2) It gets trotted out time and time again about how the Taliban has forever and irreparably harmed the USA as a nation, people, and our way of life.
So far, they've done killed roughly 0.00002% through the attacks and the war in Afghanistan and did some economic damages as well. Last I recalled, the bank and financial systems and business have done a pretty good job fucking over the country while reaping benefits. Meanwhile, the TSA wastes billions of dollars looking at your and your family's nude bodies through X-ray backscatter scans and inconveniences millions by taking away their dangerously explosive bottled water and the drug war ruins more American lives than anything the Taliban has done.
Fine. Whatever. Keep bawling about your scraped knee or buck the fuck up.
Any support to a company that shows... oh, let's say 'immoral' attitudes toward their customers, suppliers, the environment, or people in general says that you are ok with that. That, not only do you condone their actions, you are supporting their continued existence and harmful actions.
Sometimes it's all about the product. Sometimes it's about what went into the product.
Yeah, that's what I thought. Turns out I math bad and was off by about 10000 times that.
Thankfully, this was pointed out and I was able to go back and figure out where I screw up. I had the square meters and, instead of going with 1 cm of height, I should have used 0.01 meters for the height.
Oh, hell. I was multiplying m2 with cm2 or possibly cm3. I went the wrong way, turning it into cubic cm then cubic meters (might have went with a million cm in a meter. sshh, I know. That's some baaaaaad math skills) then making the same mistake thrice figuring out how many cubic meters are in a cubic km.
It's not public schooling's fault. It's that I haven't tried calculating volume and surface area in years. Last time I did math even close to this was to figure out the RPM of tires on the vehicles in XG3.
And great, here comes the replies about how shamefully off I am by a magnitude of four (?). Ah well, bring 'em on. I walked into this on my own.
There may be a problem with that. I suggest reading up on the Chandra X-Ray Telescope. Long story short, because of the high energy, only shallow angles are used so the mirror in the telescope is more like a barrel.
Headlights is as much about people seeing you as it is you seeing them.
I'm responsible for listening; if I don't, that's my fault. If you make so little noise that listening doesn't help, that's your fault.
It's my fault if I'm not paying attention to the road and the surround sidewalks and cross roads. It's your fault if you dash out from between a couple of full size vans.
Laws to protect others from you? Yeah, you can legislate that.
People can be blind and deaf. Should we require cars to have huge inflatable bumpers and limit them to 2 MPH?
They are pissed off with playing Mario for the billionth time.
You might be right if it was Mario 2010 (now with updated stats and rosters!) but Nintendo does do a good job make them different but still fun. It does seem like they're jumping more and more into similar sequels though. I guess the same could be said of Super Mario Bros 1, 2, & 3 but the upgrades between them as well as the differences more than made up for the platforming, brick breaking, and goomba bopping.

Probably but you die on the inside every day you have to work up bullshit excuse why this was bound to happen and why it's a good thing.

Oh ffs, don't gimme this 9/11 bullshit.

That's an incredibly stupid thing to say.
I mean, life survived asteroid impacts but I think it's in mankind's best interest to do anything possible to avoid such things.
But that might just be me.
How do you know that?! She could have a wizard pop out of the closet and everyone would be like, "Ooooh, he did it!"
Which is true unless people demand longer and harsher sentences.
I thought it was lead but from the google hits, it looks like both (though I can't find anything on the silica in mainstream news). http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/04/10/health/webmd/main4005638.shtml?source=RSSattr=Health_4005638
Those systems were already made. They weren't making Sony any money in warehouses or sitting on store shelves.
That'd be a great red herring.
It'd be easier to just use code.
When you go to Sanji's to make the cake for Ehimay's birthday, tell Tarani I said hi. I'm really looking forward to the party on Saturday.
No. Verizon.
Because there's a who category here and there's at least one story a day on the company or some iNoun thing and it just builds up from there.
Yeah, that's what I thought. Turns out I math bad and was off by about 10000 times that.

Ok, double reply.
Cubic meter is 100*100*100 cm, right? And a cubic km would be 1000*1000*1000 meters, right? So that means there's 1*10^15 cm^3 in a km^3, right?
So then, 3.61*10^14 / 1*10^15 = 0.361
Nope, never mind. I didn't convert the square meters into square centimeters (100*100) which is why I was off by a factor of 10000.
Oh, hell. I was multiplying m2 with cm2 or possibly cm3. I went the wrong way, turning it into cubic cm then cubic meters (might have went with a million cm in a meter. sshh, I know. That's some baaaaaad math skills) then making the same mistake thrice figuring out how many cubic meters are in a cubic km.

By all means, go ahead. I mean, it couldn't possibly be a trap.
Hmm. Quick napkin math.
3.61*10^14 m2 (ocean surface area) x 1 cm = 361,000,000,000,000 cubic cm
3.61*10^14 cm^3 = 361 million m^3 = 0.361 km^3
So to lower the level of the ocean by 1 cm, you need to store a bit over a third of a cubic km on land.
There may be a problem with that. I suggest reading up on the Chandra X-Ray Telescope. Long story short, because of the high energy, only shallow angles are used so the mirror in the telescope is more like a barrel.
Politicians are doing their damnedest to terrorize the population as well.
TERROR BABIES! TERROR BABIES!
OH GOD A NIPPLE!
Just think that YOUR KIDS could look in the mirror and see TWO NIPPLES! Nipples could even be lurking... UNDER YOUR OWN SHIRT!
A curse that makes them sweat pine sap?

Yes... that's the sort of silliness I was poking fun at if you couldn't tell from the rest of the sentence.
