The only possible reason a profitable web site ever shuts down is when the threat of losing all of their money(and then some), is more likely than them continuing to make a profit.SilverUchiha said:
The people who use Facebook aren't anything more than the product up for sale anyway.

....."Mir"?
OT: That statistic is pretty deceiving. It's like those statistics where they say "Someone is hit by a bus every six seconds worldwide" or something like that. Of course they do, there's a lot of buses and a LOT of people. Won't stop me from crossing the street.
i think facebook is pulling numbers out of thier ass, because 99% of wall posts in facebook IS SPAM.
its also true that over 90% of "hacking" isnt actually hacking but a stupid user giving his password to somone or making it easy to guess. you know the most popular password used to be "god" before they started making 8 character limits?

I've got it to the point of where it will text me if I try to log on from any computer other than my own.
Though this did get me to go online and delete a bunch of messages, and looking back at some of the shit I've said to people...
Damn, I sure was a tad bit foolish in my younger days. And wow, I was sure a sensitive guy back then. Makes me realize how important it is nowadays to just let shit slide early on.
Glad no one hacked my facebook profile.

Yes, it's also planning on charging a subscription fee, adding a dislike button, and planning on reverting back to the original design layout.SilverUchiha said:
But only if you go and like the Facebook pages for them. Only a thousand more likes to go!!

Maybe you just suck at gauging peoples motivation. That's the most common problem that breaks up those "unbreakable" friendsships, simply that one persons motivations either change or wasn't completely known to the other part. Most people don't really get that it's motivation that can make or break a friendship.
Example: Two girls who are best friends. Suddenly one gets a boyfriend, and she suddenly starts prioritizing the boyfriend above her friend, and her friend simply doesn't understand how she after all those years can prioritize her boyfriend over her best friend. That's the 101 example of misjudged motivation breaking up a friendship, and i have seen it happen.... several times (i have luckily also seen them make up again later). The reason i use girls in the example is that it's much more common for girls to misjudge motivations of other girls. Men are simply much transparent, and girls have more fluctuating motivations (and a higher love for creating drama), which is why this is most commonly a girls problem.
It's true that few persons are lucky to have such a friend (even luckier if they have more than one), but they exist.
Perhaps something like the one at 00:25?Frozen Donkey Wheel2 said:

So wait.. facebook is admitting to experiencing hundreds of thousands manual intrusions into their internal infrastructure daily?!?!?!
Oh, no, its referring to instances of unauthorized accesses that were obtained by individual failed security measures.
For the love of god, will people stop using the work Hack incorrectly? Forgetting to log yourself out and someone gaining access after you walk away is not hacking and really its getting quite tiresome to watch people irresponsibly attempt to co-opt a word because it sounds better than saying "600,000 people unknowingly yielded their security credentials for their facebook account to people with malicious intention aimed at gaining unauthorized levels of access to their mundane and irrelevant personal garbage."
Heres the difference. Think of just about any action tv trope youve ever seen. If someone knocks out a bad guy in the enemies base, and steals their keycard to use at a security door. Thats not hacking. When they go up to the locked door, remove an access panel somewhere adjacent to the door, and start rewiring or reprogramming the security door to force it open. THATS hacking.
Really.. Is it really that hard?

Am I really the only one who's eye halted at "can give you hand"? Regardless most "hacking" is just idiots clicking links without thinking. They deserve it, therefore I do not care. My account is entirely false details and pictures anyway (I just use it to keep up to date on a few bands/bars/stores etc). Also how screwed will you be if one of your trusted buddies who has influence over your account clicks that link? Compromises two accounts theoretically.
still a lot of accounts being hacked but i dont have many friends anyway. most of them i know personally so i know they will will not misuse mine.
besides, i hardly update whats happening to me, so nothing interesting will come up anyway

bleh it's something me and my friends use, it's a bit hard to explain over the internet.Frozen Donkey Wheel2 said:
ever seen kung pow? master pain(betty) makes that sound all the damn time. if not, then "mir" is entirely lost upon you.
Well that fashion relly can in to go around the idiocity of internet censorship. like some forums censor word "suck" so go around saying "sucks" they use "sux" and automatic censor doesnt pick it up. Same goes for fux.Raiyan 1.0 said:
Clearly, the people you hang out with are self-serving idiots. I'm a friend of Root's and wouldn't do that to him. Nor would any of my friends or my boyfriend.

600k sounds like enough people who refuses to listen to squat of minimal security precautions to me!
