It's simply redrawing the line of what is appropriate social contact. Frankly, it's refreshing that we aren't assuming that all teachers who speak to kids outside of school hours are engaged in grooming behaviour.
Now that COED have given it's approval, hopefully the Queen will have the good taste to call out the noobishness displayed by the looters and offer them a royal teabagging.
They just 'friended' a number of the terrorists in the 80s.
Anonymity isn't the same as it was 160 years ago.

Yes, anonymity could be a cloak for someone who fears reprisal (social, physical, legal).
People can and do build reputations around their pseudonyms online, where they reinstall the social norms. You see it on forums every now and then (for example, heavy posters who fear losing their reputations making apologies for bad behavior). Like any society, the internet has it's own behavioral controls - whether they're remnants from offline controls or new ones like 'troll' flags. We're just developing them - some of us are still kids in costumes again really.
...small private companies to set up just outside of orbit to squeegie a satellite's solar panels whether they want it or not and expect a few million in change.
....while there's still a market for desktop PC/consoles as gaming devices.
Mobile devices are limited by what they are. As long as efficiency of size (mobility) is a defining feature of mobile gaming, they'll probably always be cut down versions of these bigger stationary devices.

I'll happily mock anyone who is purposefully misleading.
I also wasn't aware that choosing a 'side' meant endorsing every opinion within it.
Luckily 'my side' includes almost every reputable scientific body in the world, which makes me feel slightly more comfortable.
My basic respect extends as far as I think he deserves.
When I write a misleading author's note about global warming on my next book, I'll expect no less.
Now the Raptors look like chickens.
Dr Alan Grant: "NOOOOooooooooooo!"
Science ruins Michael Crichton again!

Seems rather dramatic. Almost as they think fridges feel fear.
Because I'm getting sick of Jet Skiing across the Atlantic Ocean.
..for selling actual Cisco gear.
...if the soundtrack was something more suitable, like the Benny Hill theme.
...And then I'm going to start a website to publish the leaks on your website.
I take your leak and raise you a leak!
In saying that, I now really need to pee.
The coastguard?
I'm starting a new website, to be called 'Open-Wiki-Leaks-Leaks'.
Eaten alive by invisible rats.
Science is about making horrible dreams a reality.
They're never ones to keep something old that was no longer relevant.

Oh I'm sure they'll reinvent it in the only way they know how - by buying up a small innovative company and running it into the ground.
It's the same image, they just draw a smiley face on it.
...maybe if they stick a small amount of notoriety under a box propped up with a stick, tie string to it and wait around the corner?
Oh no wait, that'll just get Youtube celebrities.
The coast guard, that's who.
Bears: Shit in Woods
I see it now. One monkey in Indonesia issues a takedown. Eventually, 100 monkeys demand compensation. Soon monkeys everywhere know about the DCMA.
You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!

What, like A Walk in the Clouds? Keanu was awesome.

It's perfectly controlled.
And that wasn't the type of party I meant...
