Comment Export of contacts is their prodict (Score 4, Interesting) 42

removal of the regular download option had been "part of our ongoing efforts to combat the inappropriate export of member data by third parties." As a result of the vocal outpouring of disapproval, instant CSV exporting is back...

I have to wonder who outpoured disapproval? It doesn't seem like something most users would care about.

On the other hand, headhunters who use LinkedIn as a site for harvesting resumes would be angry. But isn't that the whole point of LinkedIn? To give recruiters your contact info so they can spam you?

It wouldn't surprise me if this was just a publicity stunt.

So, please do show us what law she's disregarding.

Did she break the law? Probably. Did she disregard the law? Almost certainly. But the fact that she apparently destroyed any incriminating evidence (if there was any) makes that difficult to prove. To main point is that she was not the one to decide what should be archived and what should be destroyed.

Submission + - A lunar geologist gives a reality check for NASA funded return to the moon study (examiner.com)

Submitted by MarkWhittington
MarkWhittington writes: The study that suggested that American astronauts could return to the moon by 2021 for $10 billion has caused rare excitement in the media though perhaps a little bemusement as well. Officially, due to a presidential mandate, NASA has eschewed a return to the moon. Of course, presidencies and thus space policy mandates change. In any event, Paul Spudis, a lunar geologist who frequently writes about space policy and is an advocate of a return to the moon, provided a reality check for the proposal.

One the one hand. Dr. Spudis noted with approval the plan’s emphasis on the mining of lunar water and its refining into rocket fuel. He has helped develop a plan to do just that, which the NASA-funded proposal seems to have borrowed heavily from.

However, Spudis has some objections to the plan.
