There is a privacy setting forcing all tag requests to come to you for approval first. Obviously it isn't easy to discover, however.

And don't forget, due to the PATRIOT act, simply having that information obligates facebook to serve it up to law enforcement without a warrant any time they ask. Think about that next time you "like" the High Times fan page or post "I'm go

Right, the free flow of information scares some people. The lack of it scares others.

Sites like Hacker News comb the net and bring interesting web sites and articles to my attention, in a world where everyone can be a writer. And in a world where everyone can be an artist, musician or movie maker, there will be ways to filt

If you know what the word is, an asterisk doesn't hide anything. If you don't (what are you, 3?), there's nothing to hide. I don't think nudity is obscene either, but I can see why people might want to remain private. Just because I know wh

Off topic, but can we please stop pretending that an asterisk means you didn't just say "fucking"? That is pure superstition. If you're going to use a word, use it. If not, don't. Fuck.

No, but it did mention "confidence". My point is that that is the entire basis for money. Deep down, the economy is psychological. You can't "shrug it off" and "remain robust" when the people who make up the economy stop believing in it.

What do they think money is? It's basically just fungible units of "confidence". Or maybe "trust" is a better word. That goes for gold as well as the "fiat" variety.

GNU gcc? Or did you mean to say "mobile" when you wrote "modern"?

Lamarckism is evolution too. Don't confuse Darwinian natural selection with "evolution" as a whole, which basically just means change over time.

>5. A company the focuses solely on profits ultimately betrays both itself and society. I think if you focus on long term profits, you don't fall into this trap. The problem is short term thinking, not profits per se, or else what is a

You misunderstand engineering. Everything evolves, especially technology. The first airplane didn't spring forth from the minds of the Wright brothers fully formed. The technology evolved in spurts and hiccups, more at first but still a lit

My wife stopped letting our son play Angry Birds on her phone because of the scantily clad ladies advertising "meet sexy singles in your area". When will Adblock Plus port to Android?

I think these stories about Domino's drivers saving lives beat Morton's delivering a free steak to a lucrative customer. (Which I agree every company should do occasionally for their own best interests.): Old lady doesn't place her regular

I don't think you can get more obvious in this day and age than adding "with computers" or "on the internet" to mundane, centuries-old ideas like "showing people things similar to what they are shopping for". To be honest, I think your argu

What sort of invention is NOT putting existing things together? In fact, to me that sounds like as good a definition of "invention" as any.

I have no clue how there is even a question about the legality of using your own hardware for whatever you want. I could "crash cell phone towers" with my car, but that doesn't give Ford the right to weld my hood shut. Seriously, how is thi

Stop pretending that you're not a dumb pipe and bill by usage. The sooner information is treated like the basic utility it is, like fuel, water or electricity, the better off we'll all be. It's painful to watch every last data provider danc

Norton is not hard to remove??? Have things changed so much since I switched to Linux? I used to tell people they had to reinstall the OS to get rid of Norton. I agree that unremoveable and unkillable apps are a huge problem with Android. T
