Facebook chooses advertising profit (all those users) over actively enforcing their TOS.
Facebook should be fined for this predatory practice. This is a nasty exploitation of children.
Just as a matter of interest how do you think they could enforce it? How would you know that someone claiming to be 22 year old Mike Smith form Luton or 20 year-old Nalini Kapur from Mumbai are really the age they claim to be?
Currently it's free. You get the SLA you would expect for free.
You mean " You get the SLA you should expect for free".
From a lot of the comments I see in open source software forums people expect a lot.and complain whan they don
Microsoft has been getting a lot better about supporting alternative OSes on non-core products (Silverlight is another example).
Microsoft did not support silverlight on other OSes. They allowed the now defunct mono project by Novel to implement moonlight - a compatible platform.
Wow - all the Linux people spreading the FUD this time around. Ever stop to think that maybe, JUST MAYBE, MS is buying it for the tech, looking to expand on what's already there, being able to use their existing infrastructure to better the service, while adding it to the Xbox 360 (and future consoles), all the while, continuing development of all the versions already existing?
Or are all you Linux fanbois just gonna dump Skype because it's owned by MS now, and you're leaving due to "principle" - i.e. being retarded?
Just look at their past record. Maybe that strange guy in the park with the prison tattoos really has a puppy in his van.
I hate any system where you can buy "points" but have no way of changing points back to money. Thye know that they are on to a good thing - either you spend it, which often means adding more, or you leave it as a zero-interest loan to them (which also falls outside any financial regulations or compensation schemes should they go bust).
You and me we're goin' nowhere slowly
And we've gotta get away from the past
There's nothin' wrong with goin' nowhere, baby
But we should be goin' nowhere fast

Who is going to play that? Shit, I always balk a bit at $60 for a game, but, that's at least somewhat reasonable. I don't have 100 million burning a hole in my pocket though, good luck to anyone who picks up that title. Not going to be massively multiplayer with a cost like that!
They have inside news that the US dollar is going to go like this. You will see 100 million dollars as good value.
Hmm I am 27 and I WONT USE THE DAMN SELF CHECKOUT anymore.. A human checker can always complete my transaction faster than I can unless they are new trainee or something.
I only use the auto checkout if I have half a dozen items or less. It is usually quicker than queuing at a checkout.
KENYA, Indonesia, Wednesday (WorldNetDaily) — Barack Obama's alleged long-form birth certificate has been declared fraudulent by the noble and patriotic "Birther" movement, who claim firm evidence that the President is insufficiently white.
"I've seen a few Photoshops in my time," said immigrant Birther and world's oldest emo kid Orly Taitz. "I can tell from a few of the pixels. They're nowhere near light enough."
Donald Trump, the next Sarah Palin, takes credit for provoking the release of this initial documentation of the mysterious Obama, and has now asked if Obama's college transcript is all that, and something about basketball as the President's favourite pastime. Betting pools are now forming on when Trump will allude to watermelon and fried chicken.
Birthers are routinely outraged at suggestions that blatant racism is at the heart of their disquiet with Obama's landslide victory in the 2008 presidential election. So it's really worth saying it to them, every time.
The Birther movement was originally started by Party Unity My Ass, a group of disgruntled Hillary Clinton supporters during the 2008 Democratic primary. They note that Obama has, on his track record so far, been a first-class Republican president.
Exactly. There is firm evidence that he is a nignog. From this it follows that he is not a natural born American, and that he ia a Muslim, and faked the death of Osama Bin Laden so that his buddy could go free.
>>>But most (not all) of your examples have nothing to do with facebook.
Disagree. Facebook reveals:
- party affiliation (i.e. communist)
- race (asian)
- porn habit
- sexting photos
- you're a Japanese comic book collector
- posting "My boyfriend is a college guy" when you're only 16 or 17.
Now you've made it worse by copying your profile on slashdot.

What is the difference between a shill and a fanboi?
The same as that between a whore and a girlfriend.
It could be the vibrator app.

Not just linux users either. Mobile users except for those with Windows phones are probably fucked too, the android skype users almost certainly.

At last a renewable source with an unlimited supply.

That's not a phone. It's an appliance.
With this technology I can think of a number of appliances that could come with visual and tactile feedback.

So the question I have now is, was Michael Jackson less significant
He only buggered a handful of kids.

Have you considered making it light enough that your arm doesn't ache after 5 minutes?
My arm gets plenty of exercise.
Didn't they see the warnings in the scifi movies? Give an android an inch and he'll take a mile.
Except that it's a completely different thing that solves a completely unrelated problem.
OK but that's all I want to hear about your penis enlarger.
