I'm guessing that you've never heard of chorizo.

SSL will, if correctly setup, will prevent this. Unless you click through all the warnings your browser shows regarding the sites certificate.
You are aware, I'm sure, that your first sentence is handily negated by the second one?
Thanks for posting that here, where some unscrupulous writer might want to grab the idea to use for a novel.
Get back to us when you've learnt how to spell "kernel".
Wonderful. Can you guarantee that I'll receive packages addressed to "Zon Mindless" rather than "Zontar T. Mindless" because many if not most Swedes apparently cannot handle the concept of short forms of long first names?
Now... what's a real name, again?
(See? I can go for easy points, too.)
Vey is mir, you must be... *facepalm*
...facebook is not the right tool for communicating about things you don't want people to associate with you.
Bingo. It's that simple. seebs gets this, accepts the reality, and (or so we might reasonably assume) behaves accordingly.
(Unlike the 90% of users who seems to think FB should somehow be private whenever they just happen to want it to be.)
I've been in the public eye for 20+ years. When you live and work in the Bible Belt, you do not talk about your fondness for Scotch whiskey on your radio show. Unless you want the whole tri-county area to know about it. Which, if you want your ratings to remain viable, you don't. You might think just whispering it would keep it private, but hey, it's awfully amazing what a 100kW transmitter can do with even a whisper.
Similarly, when you're on the Internet, you don't post anything you would not wish to see associated with your name and photo on the cover of TIME magazine. Er, that dates me a bit, doesn't it? Let's say instead that, when you're on the Internet, you don't post anything to FB you would not wish to see associated with your name and likeness on the Jon Stewart show (he still has one, right?) or The Daily Kos.
On the Internet, "private" means--at best--"nobody else can see it... yet".
FYI, it's spelt "Zontar the Mindless" but pronounced "Raymond Luxury Yacht".
With the ability to use nicknames, you can delude yourself into thinking you have privacy when you really don't. With a real-name policy you are having your lack of privacy rubbed right in your face so you don't forget it and do something stupid under an "assumption" of privacy.
...
... The Internet was never anonymous.. it's just that the Internet made it (and still makes it) difficult to verify that the other person at the end of the pipe is actually who he says he is and isn't lying to you. Don't confuse lack of authentication with privacy, they ain't the same thing.
Would mod you up but I've already posted in this thread.
... facebook has no way of knowing what your real name actually is.
Just because you tell yourself this, does not make it true.

Saying "mitzvots" is like saying "commandmentses".
The singular is "mitzvah", the plural is "mitzvot".
I knew that, and I'm not even Jewish.
Again, it seems people can't read.
This is
what
the OP *said*
that
the app was doing.
Nobody said it was a smart thing to do. In fact, the point was that it was in fact an incredibly stupid thing to do.
"Stupid" != "people don't do it"
Now do you get it?
That's not even worthy of a troll mod.
Hello, you seem to have missed the bit where the page was made up of hundreds of absolutely-positioned DIV tags, the co-ordinates for which were calculated at runtime on the server.
Now, take a deep breath, count to 10, then try again.

I've always been able to use FF/Linux with my ANZ account since I opened it (2004).
