Welcome to friendika - I ask questions

@sergiofbsilva from feeling I'd say was not your #cat - besides one person all others were strangers. You are no #stranger to me btw: I did not #kill the cat, but who knows: the cat fled from me ?

hugging a #bear

yes, that is surely one and perhaps some more, perhaps there is some kind of #research out there already?

active #users at #Facebook in February 2012: 845 million (evolution: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505250_162-57370133/number-of-active-users-at-facebook-over-the-years/ )

I think it's down to lack of education about how personal information can be misused. In places where there is a history of such misuse still existing within living memory - such as in Germany - then I think people are a lot more circumspect.

I guess it's also about a deeper #problem: why do people (still) join such #data #silos (e.g. without checking or understanding #privacy #policy) ?

be it that most of their #contacts are there already, #marketing, fancy games/design, ...

#leemings where is the next #flute player?

The thing is that even if Facebook did clean up their privacy policy, they've still got the goods on a lot of people, with all that information potentially available to government departments and other organizations.

do you have others ? 

it's about this:

@mairin@identi.ca 
Does the #licence format also play a role ?
e.g. like:
if it is a #cc licence it could enable faster #republication + make it less easy to remove ?


about preserving:
I guess nowadays there is too much info,
one would need to #search specifically to find it, or ?
and if someone goes into such lengths perhaps that person has also the means to do this in real life (vs. searching in a #virtual container) ?


also perhaps: being #responsible for one's deeds also makes one (more?) #mature

I guess you'd need a middleman (who has access to #twitter) -


but you could also #search the net for a part of your question:

 " Is there a way to follow Twitter users ... without actually having a #Twitter account? "


if that is possible: the rest is easy

@tionitaylor I guess there's no real #fix (for anything) -
too less #time to #test, #fix, not #prio'd, ...

Personally I don't use #IE since a whole while + still can #browse the net


re: https://twitter.com/#!/tionitaylor/status/178838386478555137

inline comment from my #lastfm page: 

This containing div fixes an #IE #bug where the absolutely positioned element disappears randomly. Don’t ask me why.

The most unmaintainable code I ever saw was in the mid 1990s, when I had a job as a maintenance programmer for some accounting software which was specialized towards bakeries.

After some searching it appears that, to my astonishment, this program is still around.

http://www.compubake.com

The version which I maintained at that time was a DOS program, written in (I think) an early version of Microsoft BASIC. The system had been originally developed in the late 1980s, or very early 1990s, and I was told that the sole developer had since died, so he couldn't be consulted. Before that unfortunate event though the code had been compressed, to remove any non-functional spaces or tabs (including indentation), to make all variables into two or three character mnemonics and to concatenate lines of code together, such that the program was as small as possible. This meant that it was practically impossible to read.

If anything went wrong there were a couple of separate utility programs which could be used to repair the database, but failing that the unfortunate baker just had to start again from scratch.

Amongst the couple of other software engineers that I worked with at that time, the name of this program became synonymous with bad coding.
