I'm not usually the one to post these types of 'fix it yourself' OSS comments...

If it is a real problem, that *real* people (not just slashdotters) care about, they need to seek out a solution...that already exists. If it is too advanced for them, and it is still an issue for them on facebook then they need to practice self preservation and remove their account.

Yep.

Yeah...but it's pretty easy to adjust the privacy settings so that only you can see the photos you are tagged in, effectively turning off the 'feature'. Also the 'random asshats' would be people you explicitly added as a friend.

Try actually using the site before you just repeat the same tired phrase you hear over and over.

Can't wait to see this future post on every java forum.

"Please send me the java codes for operating system to jawadiwahail2243@hotmail.com"

Only half correct. You state that the metaphorical 'you' has to explicitly have to 'check in' to places, but you're friends have the ability to check you into places by default. "Out having coffee with @w0mprat, having a great convo about privacy, could last hours"

from blog.facebook.com....
"When your friends check you in, it is as if you have checked in at that place yourself. You also will appear checked-in to your friends."

Because not all scanners are directly plugged into user computers with a software interface.
I have a large office MFP that scans into network shares and with this little server running I can have it watch that share and fix up my PDF's real nice for the users, rather than installing something on everyones computers.

That's all HTML5, and I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned here on /.

Doubtful it would even make it to the general public. Seeing how this place is an absolute cesspool of crime that fills the news and the fact that the MD-PD isn't much better than the "criminals", an incident like this wont even make it to the ticker going along the bottom of the 11'oclock news.

Different PIN in this case. This is the pin to unlock the phone for usage, not unlock the SIM for access (of which I don't even think you can set on an iPhone)

When I tried that with my laptop, it only worked once.

Florida is no longer part of the southeast?

And Canonical offers that, if fact IIRC it was the first commercial offering Canonical did. But they are not a 'professional services' company, they are a software company with more than a handful of (320+ according to wikipedia I just checked) employees which means they need to, just like every other company, try many avenues to make money to keep those people employed. And quite frankly as a linux admin myself I have (like many of us) a superiority complex that tells me I would never need to purchase support and since I bet we are a no insignificant portion of their user base I'll bet they don't get much money from it. However their music store that is coming, I could spend a few dollars there; or this sync tool so I don't have to screw around with my personal server all the time to make sure my phone sync is working, I could spend a few dollars on that; mainly since I work 8 hours a day on servers and I hate having to come home and waste time fixing servers that could be spent with my children.

And who really cares from a Linux vendor? If Shuttleworth comes out tomorrow and says "hey, Ubuntu super pro business edition is now $299.95", the project just forks and carries on with those who disagree.

Or they will just use google docs in offline mode, like people have been doing for quite some time now...
