Same thing with HIV. For the most part, you can prevent HIV. You can stay monogamous as much as you can. Don't be a slut, and use a rubber. Don't use needles. Sometimes you have to think about what your impact is on society.
Except of course people who get it from contaminated blood transfusions and that sort of thing, those people have no blame or fault in your model but are still going to die slowly and painfully.
Indeed, I recall reading a fine theory about this. Suggesting that trust was built over time between an individual and a group by appropriate stages of revelation about themselves and their past. It also included the fact that inappropriate revelation (i.e. too much information too fast, too little too slow, just stuff the group didn't want to know) raised distrust between the group and individual, on the basis that it scared people basically.
Wish I could recall the name of the idea, but then psychology and sociology are topics I've merely dabbled in so I can't... still interesting idea none the less.
However theres also the idea that being totally open makes you immune to a lot of smear campaigns as you openly admit to everything, but I suspect that most people this is targetted at couldn't take that kind of exposure (I'm fairly sure I wouldn't want it) and also the negative consequences of making all that information available to various fraudsters is also a bad point.
I thought the size of all octets was 8 bits, and the size of a byte was between a number higher than about 6 and hopefully lower than 40. Historically speaking.
Well in the same way a representative poll of peoples opinions can be performed without needing the entire worlds populations to complete it.
You need a representative random sample. Its not rocket science, it just needs people to pay attention.
Of course if they just covered N thousand user accounts at LiveJournal then its doubtful to be representative of "All users who update their website with a CMS that allows for easy chronological additions" (yes I hate the phrase blogosphere as well, but I've yet to come up with a better phrase that basically encompasses the fact that its just a bunch of people with homepages) and instead will just be representative (perhaps, depends on their sampling method) of the users of LiveJournal (the sample that is, not the data gathered, that can still be a lot of crap).
The thing that really annoyed me about "runas" is that theres no way of setting some programs to have sticky permissions and always run as a certain user (that I found, I could be wrong) so you'd need to either give your users the administrative password (Hell no) or put it in a script somewhere (equally bad, possibly worse).
I'm trying to think of reasons to convince $EMPLOYER that they need to get me a small plot of land with a big hole in now...
Surely a better and more ecologically sound method is just to own a large wooded area and bury people under the trees? Although it would I admit take longer.
The inefficiencies with using what is essentially a random number half way up the IP address are boggling surely?
I mean imagine the routing tables if you had two machines, one at 111.222.111.1 and one at 111.222.111.2 but instead of that 222 block you had this mythical hash.
so now you need a router to track 111.894.111.1 and 111.345.111.2, thus doubling the number of entries in even a small example.
Surely we should just be using IPv6 with its built in encryption at layer three?
(and yeah the examples crap, I'm tired, its early).
Trolling entire credit card databases eh?
"Hey you, yeah you! You've got a poor credit history! I bet the other accounts laugh behind your back!"
Well I'm knackered, best gag I could come up with.

I always thought it expanded to "Comedy News Network" or something similar myself.

But without raised floors where am I supposed to hide the bodies?
