Teenage girls? For some reason I'm always tempted to attribute those astonishingly backward comments containing "retard/faggot/nigger/etc" words to the mindset of pimply pubescent BOYS utterly lacking any grace, respect or self worth. Sort of like tagging walls to prove that your existence is not futile, and that you do matter (despite your alcoholic deadbeat parents stating otherwise). Perhaps you're right, and it's been girls spilling their bile all along.

It will be interesting to see who self starters w/ their $100 degrees are likely to hire when they start becoming successful. Would they hire the folks with the same $100 degree or the folks who are part of the much more expensive "insider" system?

I love the way you start your post with utmost respect... Such a charming enlighten'd brain you must have -- you definitely make me want to vote for whomever you are supporting.

I guess that answers the question whether or not you were dropped on your head as a child.

You are not Facebook's customer, you are Facebook's product. Facebook will care for their product (=you) only just enough to prevent you from leaving.

Facebook is more a "giant private data collection vortex" than a "social networking provider". It monetises your data and gives you enough "tools" to voluntary share as much personal stuff as they can get away with, leaving you with the illusion that you've gained the upper hand in this exchange.

You seem intelligent, but your use of the word "faggot" spoils the effect.

Provided they don't bankrupt themselves in the process.

and pass the ammo...

If you don't bother starting your sentences with capitals, I shan't bother reading your post. Respect your readers and they shall read...

A patent pool company (until now unbeknown to me) that has registered the bootstrap "the standard for standards". The horror...the horror.

If their website is anything to go by, they make themselves look like foolish small fish. But I guess, to be trading water in the patent pool, one has to have larger shark fins. I could be mistaken though.

We, as small time tech entrepreneurs, will be able to rest assured that we shall only be sued by either Apple, Microsoft or Google (or a combination of these). That should simplify matters.

Sweet! I am so getting into the tinfoil overall business. Just think of all the people who would care about this very issue! Oh wait...

If I could mod you up past 5/funny, I would. Thanks for making us laugh.
