    My Facebook account went into security shutdown yesterday and I was informed that someone had tried to login from Chennai in India, using Chrome on Mac OSX. Anyone who knows me and my antithesis to weird religions and strange cults knows I would never go anywhere near... ... an Apple device.

      What is there of value to "hack into" on Facebook? If something's valuable, Facebook is the last site it should be placed on...

            There, you see, I was right! But maybe we should dispense of FB and use CP instead? So for lunch, I had a DAMN good hamburger with double cheese, bacon and jalapeƱos. As for the toilet thing, I don't really recall; This morning, I think... But given the heavy lunch, I would say that there is a visit coming up real soon. I'll keep you posted! :rolleyes:

                I dunno. Archaeologists from a couple of hundred years in the future will probably be ecstatic to have it as a resource: firstly because it's the first really detailed insight into "normal" people's lives there has ever been; secondly because archaeologists get more information from rubbish middens than fine pottery; mostly because it will make them feel superior to the "average facebooker" in terms of intellect, vocabulary, ability to use punctuation, ...

                    We don't need to wait for archeologists from the distant future for that to take place.

                      If said archaeologists are descended from today's "average facebooker", I'd be surprised if they even knew how to read. We already have people suffering from 2nd-generation illiteracy (their parents and teachers are barely literate); does anyone think it will get better in the future? (Note that I am not referring to those for whom English is a second tongue; I am referring to those for whom it is not even a first!)

                      If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill
