You fail to realize what a useful tool facebook is. It serves as a campus directory, a list of every person who shares a class with you, and a means of organizing large groups of people. Generally facebook affords some privacy while allowing oneself to have an online presence.
And yes, we do not want our breakups made public. Don't criticize what you don't understand.
I've used openOffice and I was unimpressed with most everything about it. Microsoft Office is much better, and is worth paying for, especially for excel and powerpoint.
A sci-fi forcefield covers a large area, and will require an investment of some kind of energy and matter proportional at least proportional to the area of the protection surface. It may even be proportional to volume or worse, depending on the implementation.
Unless you have sensors that detect projectiles and only activate small sections of the force field whenever needed.
Don't forget that it takes workers to build pcs. If one worker can properly build, test, and configure a PC in a day (including ghosting), that's about 250 computers every year. This person would probably have a salary around $50,000.
50000 / 250 = $200 per computer.
So the parts plus the $200 labor must equal the price of a dell pc.
Not to mention the risk of bad parts, employee's accidental problems (maybe he dropped a hard drive), and this guy's social security/health insurance, a manager's time and resources, and any costs of having/constructing some sort of pc building workshop.
In addition, what if you need several thousand? What if you want a warranty not to protect the merchandise, but so you can get a quick replacement?
A large corporation is MUCH better off ordering computers from a manufacturer like Dell. Remember that a corporation should stay focused. Should a large company make their own power grid to save on power costs? Should they employ their own delivery men to ship their packages?
So on these points I must disagree and say that for a company to build its own PCs is not the most logical and economical thing.

I like windows, but that's because they don't make games for linux.
And by "they," I mean big companies.
Dvorak keyboards are real easy, but they don't have most of the marketshare.
Ease of use has nothing to do with why windows is so popular. Capitalism is the reason. Who would write software for an OS that 5% of the population has?

Everyone knows that the REAL best game is Blokus!
Yes, Aeris.

I got a 28. Sweet?
Life is 100% fatal.
Final Fantasy games are hardly like each other.
Everyone just sits around and waits for the helepicopters. There's no teamwork. There's no cooperation. Just helicopters.
That's the worst prank I've ever seen. "OMG TaHTS NOT GOGGLE THTAS A FSIH SToRZ!!!!!!!1111!!!ONE!!"

A show of hands? Remember that as a student, if I saw 70% of the class raise their hands, I'd raise mine too.
"Is 'frags per round' going to be the batting average of the 21st century?" No. Computer games aren't a spectator sport.
Can bees think? A new study confirms... no, no they cannot.
You can even cut a tin can with it!
Apparently, in 20 years, 10 billion people will play mmorpgs and firefox will have 210% of the browser market.
get a gameshark or something when that comes out. you'll be able to transfer saves like that with ps2 save builder eventually. Till then... EPSXE!!!!

On the Daily Show, the Rock said that in the movie, BFG stood for Bio Force Gun. It's gonna suck.

They need to make a Kosher version of these bandages.
That was, without exception, the WORST review I have ever read. That wasn't even a review. It was a love letter to Nomiya Maki.
