Oh the horrors! Someone put up a website! Now all the Iranians will have to login and read all of it. You know, people wouldn't rebel unless they agree. If they really are content with their lifes, they would see the site, possibly read it, say "I don't agree", and log off.

Can, but almost never are. Drive down any busy road in any city as proof.

Oh no, you don't think he accidentally a whole iPad do you?

My dad drinks more water than most people I know. He had cancer. Granted, one instance doesn't make a trend, but still. I would imagine people like Lance Armstrong drink a ton of water, and there again...

No, he's right. Look at a list of the wars the US has been involved in within the last 20 years. You will indeed find that we are the biggest threat to peace, you know, provided you are into terrorists or the particular brand of peace/oppresion that dictators bring.

I didn't want to punch them, but the arm insisted it had to be done.

Actually, you're only stomping turtles that are trying to kill you. So, that one is pretty okay too. Going down random pipes in search of new levels though, thats the TRUE menace to society.

I saw the same behavior with a standard cable box. The display even changed from saying the channel I was on, to saying EAS. It locks it down, you can't change the channel until the display goes back to normal.

There isn't a single Apple product that could be considered "seamless", there isn't any large piece of software worthy of that title. I've had app crashes on my iPad and on my Nexus One (and on every computer I have ever used for a decent amount of time). Apple's hardware isn't years ahead of anyone either. Their computers use largely the same hardware everyone else is using. They make good products, if the features are what you are after, but thats all.

Furthermore, the license is convoluted enough that this is always the case, no matter which product you are using.

Well, some of them do anyway.

I can attest that religeon (in general, nothing specific) kinda sucks.

He's in a legit line of work now, helping secure companies against the same type of attacks he had used to take your information, and you think he hasn't reformed? Part of your last sentence pretty much sums it up, "And he always will be in my eyes"... There's just no convincing some people, and your hard headed line of thinking isn't really his fault.

Not really. More like a more maneuverable RPG.

Outcome 7 epilog : Government cackles wildly, people laugh at their misfortune (because people always do), two days later, everyone forgets everything. Of all the places you could try and attack to make a statement, a social network site seems like the worst idea. If you manage to cause serious damage, you have more people looking for you, and a bunch of cranky people who can't post about that they had for lunch anymore (but otherwise will just go to Twitter to do it). If you fail, you fail in a setting where even more people than normal are aware that you failed. It just seems like a lose/lose situation.
