  1. Re:knock yourself out on It's Time for Social Networks to Open Up · · Score: 1

    Indeed there are urls at the bottom of every facebook photo page that will allow an unregistered user to view the photos. There is also a url they distribute for aim/other IM clients that allow an unregistered user to view the users profile.

  2. Re:Jolt? on How Much Caffeine is Really in That Soda? · · Score: 1

    I love that store. When I went to high school around there I used to stop in there on a hot day to down something chilly, and there were always so many choices! (Alas, Tucson has no such store... plus beer is just... so good!) There's nothing quite like those little shops out there that provide its customers with something new and unique.

    I can't wait to see what kind of fart can exhaust the ricers will fit to this thing.

  4. Re:I don't see them replacing crusie missles on Navy Gets 8-Megajoule Rail Gun Working · · Score: 1

    With multiple batteries per ship I can see the rate of fire being much higher than that. It would be even higher if they began putting nuclear reactors back in cruisers. It seems to me that if they were going to use this weapon technology they would develop an entirely new weapon system (ship included) to use it.

  5. The real problem on Facebook Scrambles after Unexpected Privacy Fumble · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The real problem with the news feed is that it assumes that the relationships on facebook are something more than status points. There are of course real genuine friends on facebook and there's no doubt that those people who are real friends wouldn't mind having their other real friends know what they've been up to. The problem is that so many people have 500 some odd friends (people you met at a party one night after downing six glasses of jack in 15 minutes, or some random guy from your class) and there's no way that these people have any sort of meaningful relationship with all those people. The Facebook creators I think incorrectly assumed that the users would like to know what's going on with all their "friends", which we don't - i'm a user -. They also incorrecctly assumed that the majority of facebook connections are genuine - they aren't - (I have almost 200 friends on facebook, and that's a small number to some. Only about five or six of them are people that truly matter to me, the rest I hardly see or talk to).
