Re:I don't like you very much on Saturday October 03, 2009 @08:43AM (#858748)
Neither.

I don't randomly walk up to people and discuss my opinion of them. But if someone started a conversation with me about how many people do or don't like them then yes I would have to tell them I find them irritating and walk away. There is nothing 'tough' about it.

Nor am I an Internet tough guy, just giving an opinion is all I'm doing. People that obsess over who like them or not and why, I just don't like them.

This kind of BS ruins the site. I suppose it's inevitable with points based system.
Auto-Play is the devil.

Those stats don't show that 15- to 24-year-olds are moving away from facebook. Just that 25- to 34-year-olds are signing up at a faster rate.

It seems like they didn't get any decent sound bites so they went for the silent movie look. There KDE/Win7 film wasn't bad but this was very boring.
