Anyone that tags me in a photo that doesn't have my face should pay. Put that technology into good use.

I honestly have no idea what they are talking about. I admit I'm not a big Facebook user, but I enter some times a week and never saw such voting.

Can someone clarify?, is this a US only thing?

Or in their home page too for that matter.

To add to everything that was said, and supposing that things like click counting, trust, etc get resolved, you'll also have to pay for add serving with your own bandwidth.

So how do you know if the customer is in another country?

Last time I travelled I paid more for text and call spam than what I spent myself with legitimate texts and calls (which were very few, not that I got hundreds of spam messages, but still).

I will never understand how everyone puts the H1-B visas as the cause of jobs shortage. There are about 65k H1-B given annually and they last 3 years, so you have about 200k job positions occupied by H1-B holders, in a country with a population of 315 million. do you REALLY believe the H1-B visas have something to do with the problem?
I'm not saying there isn't a problem, but I'm sure it's not H1-B visas.

Really, I live in a (arguably) much less "free" country and I couldn't imagine anyone would ask something like this as a requirement for hiring.

What kind of idiot asks this?, what kind of idiot accept it?

Exactly my point, which today it more than Gb speeds but no more than 10Gb. However, we do need higher speed technology for the core infrastructure of whatever core networks we are using. Call it enterprise core, service provider, or whatever you're using.

You know these port speeds are not meant to be used on access switches right?, at least on the beginning, there is no need to. Only high performing computing and Virtualization servers use more than Gigabit links today, but TenGigabit bundles and higher bandwidth links are used on almost every large network on core connections and core to distribution.

Then don't charge for the application at all and give it a wider audience. This is BS, just PR to monetize something marginally ethical...

I've been on a waiting list for at least 6 or 8 months and the last notice I had is that it was going to be shipped in about 4 months. It's ridiculous. Where does everyone get theirs?, do they even exist!?!?

This might sound like a stupid question, but couldn't you start learning just using a computer keyboard disconnected from the computer, learn were the keys are, practice on getting better, etc. and then move to the computer?

I know there is a problem on not having feedback, but I've seen many people (and I've done it myself from time to time) that when they write, they are looking at the keyboard and don't even look at the screen. In a way, this provides all the feedback you need, since you have a visual confirmation that your fingers stroke on the correct key.

What's your point?, there are so many things I don't know and don't need to know. And if at any moment I need something as simple as this, I'll find out myself, ask maybe a friend or something, instead of asking thousands of people.

How idiotic can "ask slashdot" questions become?

Really?, you need to ask the whole slashdot community what to do to insure a freaking phone???, give me a break, do whatever you want, it's not that important anyway...

Why do you feel, as a consumer, that you wouldn't have to pay for it?, if you're the one using the product, why wouldn't you be responsible for the entire lifecycle of the product?

There's one point where we have to start to understand that we need to make responsible use of what we buy. Products should be much more expensive and durable, and should be manufactured and dumped responsibly.
