Dear Facebook,

I love this idea. I don't mind you selling the ability to contact me at all; don't listen to these other internet clowns. Now, I can't guarantee I'll read each and every message, but I will look at their subject lines. A glance, that's all I can promise. Is this okay? Great. Great. I am loving this. Will you deposit the $1 into my bank account every time I get a message, or once a month like eBay does?

I cannot think of a way that this couldn't work out well for me.

Wrong. Utility changes a massive amount based on if you are a civilian or a soldier. What planet do you live on?

Your arguments are baseless and weak. You also can't seem to decide if you want to attack my position by asserting that high-capacity magazines serve a legitimate purpose outside of a warzone (they don't) or if other dangerous objects should be similarly restricted (fallacious and absurd). Frankly, I'm surprised you can remember a username and password to log in. Your point of view is worthless, and the only people who despise you more than I are the hunters and sport shooters who believe reasonable, feasible, and enforceable regulations should be in place for purchasing guns should be in place, because the inherent idiocy of your perspective actually hurts their cause.

No, as a car has never been used to intentionally kill twenty children.

I'd never buy five thousand pounds of it, and I hope the FBI would arrest anyone who does.

This is your argument? Really? You're comparing firearms to electricity? Do you have any idea how puerile that makes you sound?

I can't say I've ever been in a combat zone, but from what I understand, our military forces need high-capacity magazines because they do serve a legitimate purpose you effete, nonsensical toddler.

A snowboard was never used to kill twenty children. Hope you're having loads of fun with something that was.

Several responses, but I'll choose this one to comment on. While we don't have the full reports (last reliable source indicates that he was armed with four weapons), I remain confident that Ryan Lanza was armed with more guns than is required for basic hunting and home defense. I am happy to live in a society with controlled sales to qualified individuals who agree to keep their firearms safely locked at their firing ranges, hunting reserves, or in their homes.

Your ladder, car, bathtub, and baseball bat analogies might have a modicum of relevance if a car were ever used to intentionally kill eighteen children, otherwise you sound like a flip, puerile idiot. Especially today.

Later disproved.

Those people probably didn't need an automatic .223-caliber rifle. I have plenty of perspective today.

Trolling? Really? Today?

YES

No one has reported that the shooter was a parent. We have one report that the shooter was a 20-year-old male.

They'll just use all the profits from John Carter to make Episode 7.

It's gonna suck.

Rather than applying for a full-time position, have you considered forming your own independent consulting business? You would have to leverage your contacts in the industry, but there is a massive difference in the culture between hiring a 60-year-old technical lead and hiring a 60-year-old's consulting business. Vendor management contacts just won't care, in my opinion, if you're professional and can get results.

If he had defended himself in court, he could have argued this, and he would have reduced his damages significantly. Unfortunately, he did not appear, and the default judgement (exactly what it sounds like) is $150,000 apiece. For most people, even a 90% reduction in this amount would mean bankruptcy, so I can understand the option.

Not trying to flame you, but to what features do you refer? The Visualizer? iTunes DJ Shuffle? Ping? I would really love it if iTunes were streamlined for PC so I could quickly plug in my iPhone and sync, not much else. I like the iStore, so please keep that? I could kind of do without 30 modal popup window clicks every time an iPod is plugged in and not recognized. Or maybe, my iPod would always be recognized, like I ran on a Mac. That would be cool.
