  Re: Re: Re:

  This is a bit overblown. You throw a lot of stuff together that aren't necessarily linked. The problem at it's core, is people willingly or coincidentally, entirely missing what's happening in a situation and yet trying to regulate it anyway.
  Thus, the problem isn't the regulation or a lack thereof, but the heavy-handed results.
  Abdictating the regulation to "parent better" isn't really an answer to the situation either.
  All of this basically ignores that Facebook could do better. It's not just that people need to do better themselves as well, and the one is not mutually exclusive of the other.

  Re: And the big question is: WHY does minion go round on this AG

  So you're saying the only evidence you will accept is that which supports your viewpoint? Why do you even post then?

  Re: "(in fact several incarnations are less powerful than 4G)"

  Oh man! how will we survive! We've only had tv signals going through walls for an entire century now and cellphone signals going through walls for a few decades, and wifi for a few decades. Clearly this is all scary and too new for us! /facepalm

  For people who are solarwinds users, such as myself. Our install is also cut off from the internet until the patch is released. There's a whole reddit discussion and alternative channels if people look around.

  it's stuff like this

  Things like this have reminded me why I vowed to never spend another penny that can ever go to contributing to RIAA/MPAA wallets ever again. Either I get things third party or I get them from independent musicians/artists/actors who have no association. The only thing the RIAA/MPAA has done to society over the years is a significant number of bad things, ranging from getting people to not share ideas due to copyright, to believing false information from movie magic.
