But yeah, I agree about the win-win. These guys just need to do a better job on this than they've done in the past. That whole paypal deal was upsetting to the company, perhaps, but in the end it made little difference because there were no lasting consequences; the site was back to working order with relatively little hassle. If the same thing happens here, and the only lasting consequence is that the hackers are apprehended, that's no good at all. If it's as Pokemonmaster said the first time, and Facebook is only down for a few minutes, that defeats the whole purpose.

Okay, do this:
As you read a topic, when you see a post you want to reply to, click the button. It will turn into a . This means it is selected.
When you have selected all posts you want to quote on a page, click . Your browser will advance to the reply window, but all the posts you selected will be quoted, in order.
People can get addicted to anything. People get addicted to food all the time, but that doesn't mean food should be outlawed. Sometimes the company is at fault if it is enabling people, but when people get addicted to using a website, it is hardly something you can blame on Facebook.
No, my issue with Facebook is about its privacy policy and the way they constantly keep changing their policy covertly for financial gain through advertising. It is underhanded, and they are hurting their users for the sake of profit. They want to force us into behavior that is more profitable to them. And it's not like Facebook wasn't profitable already. They've been making money hand over fist, even just through advertising. But not everybody clicks on their sidebar ads, and they don't like that...

I have no idea where you got this from. WoW is so much designed to be addictive, it's not even funny. It's so aiming at the rewarding systems of your brain, I can't even think of anything else but actual drugs to compare this to. Facebook seems to be addictive due it's general purpose (which is social interaction). It's more that FB just happens to be addictive than WoW. Though I wouldn't be surprised if FB was designed to get people hooked, it's still worlds apart from what WoW does.

To all of the people that are crying "Facebook is stupid! I don't see the point!" You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what Facebook is and what it is designed to do. It does not replace physical interaction and it never will. In fact, it's an incredibly useful tool for encouraging that interaction; now if I want to do something like throw a party or go out to eat with a crowd I can announce on Facebook and anyone that wants can join me. It's also a fantastic way to keep up with people that move away or live long-distance. You're just cherry-picking all of the "bad" things and ignoring the insane convenience and utility that it provides.

QFT. I have many-a friends who I haven't heard from in years because they moved out of town. (As I'm sure is the case with many people) I can't very well go walk across the street to meet them, can I? So I use FaceBook to keep in touch, even if it isn't that often. Plus, I don't feel like tying up the phone line and paying long distance.
Anyway, I'm with Radien here; their use of people's information is wrong and it's what I don't like about FB. This should be interesting...

Like really, these hackers are running around as if they own the entire internet. Its driving me nuts! And their reasons all seem to be of their own intentions, and yet they claim that its for the people. Well you know what, the people don't want websites to be hacked. They would like to feel safe when surfing the internet.
That's a little something they can't give us. So yeah, Anonymous, you fail at life.

One of these days Anonymous will realize that anarchy doesn't work. While governments may be corrupt, anons are actually doing harm on a massive scale.
I'm confused here. Since when has Anonymous been messing with government stuff? I thought that was Lulzsec...

There will always exist people who think this. As individuals, they eventually realize what you say, but they will forever be replaced by others who don't realize such a thing. After all, anonymous is many and conceptual, not one or centralized. Anon will always exist because of the capabilities of the human mind.
As for this hack scare though, the hack ain't gonna really happen, and if it did, it wouldn't be nearly as dramatic as people would make it out to be. A temporary setback at worst. The only real harm, if you can even call it that, could be from the hype it gets.
