But Twitter? It's SMS broadcasting. It's the definition of superficial. I just don't get it. It can be superficial. But many friendships start at superficial, accidental, etc. and move on from there. 140 characters can be enough to offer someone some advice, a link to an article that will get them ...

Twitter is the social network that you can actually use to make new friends, unlike most other social networks out there. It's like broadcast instant messaging, with the ability to listen in on other's conversations and jump in if you have something to say. It's like non-persistant IRC with everyone...

I am, for anyone wondering -- and for those of you that are, I very much appreciate that -- fine. I took a vacation, made my decision, and handed in my resignation on my first day back. The last four days have been barrages of phone calls, emails, IMs; with offers of work, condolences, respect, and ...

With IE7 out, it's a lot harder to argue that the average person should be using Firefox. IE7 has better malware/popup blocking, tabbed browsing, etc. Although I find the interface a little odd -- I want to add a Refresh buttonn to the toolbar, and I can't seem to figure out how to do it.

I don't use Firefox daily anymore because I prefer Safari, although I keep Firefox around for some of the extensions that are handy. I haven't upgraded to the latest versions on my Windows box for ages, and the OS X port has always been a little wacky, so I chalk it up to issues with the port -- and...

I don't think that it's 100% the theater's/film studios fault that people choose to stay home and watch movies now. I think it has very little to do with the actual quality of the movie itself, but the movie *experience* being *better* at home: * DVDs are inexpensive. * You choose who you are watchi...

It seems that few really agree on what self-plagarism *is.* I did a little bit of reading, and I like this article's take: http://www.ucalgary.ca/~hexham/study/plag.html -- it defines the problem as _misleading the reader_ as opposed to _re-using your own work_.

I'm not saying that his school doesn't do that, but based on his explanation of it [which I'm sure is paraphrased], it basically means that anytime a student writes anything, they are, according to the school's rules, plagarising themselves. In Canada, and the USA, work you produce that can be cover...

<i>Plagiarize</i> means to pass off someone else's work and present it as your own. Therefore, you cannot plagiarize yourself, assuming that things are cited correctly. However, if someone else -- such as a publisher -- owns your work, you can violate someone else's copyright, but you would still no...

However, the guy I quoted gave it context, so in that case it's not just a number. Even in the context of the post, though, it's not actually useful -- you can't run right out and infringe using just that number. Other technology is required; just speaking the magic number to your HD DVD player won...

Well, your SSN or other vital numbers being released can directly damage *you* ... many people would argue that the release of 09-F9-11-02-9D-74-E3-5B-D8-41-56-C5-63-56-88-C0 does not hurt individuals, and that's often where people draw the line.

Re: "Don't argue with me!"
Why do people put stuff in public livejournals and then tell anyone who disagrees with them to leave? If you just want to get your circle of friends to slap you on the back and agree with your opinions, they have friends only posting for that. The way LiveJournal breeds platitudes bothers me a grea...
