Does covering his laptop camera and microphone with tape make Facebook’s boss paranoid, or are they really after him? Probably a bit of both If Mark Zuckerberg jumped off a bridge would you (cheer)?

To answer the original question; no, it means he knows how technology works.
Now, imagine being MZ - you know that it is technically possible, so it is merely an ethical question, which in his case would be "what would FB do if it had this technical option". In that case the only rational reaction is not only to tape over the led, but to friggin' burn it, fill the hole with Tipp-Ex and then tape over the hole.

He should put tape over his keyboard and touchpad as well... just to be sure, you know.

The reason Mark 'Almighty' Zuckerberg do this, is that he knows how Facebook lacks any hint of ethics...

I think this "news" would be more interesting if he taped all cams and mics whenever he entered a room.

So, he can't afford to buy a laptop that doesn't have a camera and microphone?

Perhaps it would be even better if he taped his mouth.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

New Scientist on-line: [^]
"When a doctor declares a person dead, some of their body may still be alive and kicking – at least for a day or two. New evidence in animals suggests that many genes go on working for up to 48 hours after the lights have gone out.
This hustle and bustle has been seen in mice and zebrafish, but there are hints that genes are also active for some time in deceased humans. This discovery could have implications for the safety of organ transplants as well as help pathologists pinpoint a time of death more precisely, perhaps to within minutes of the event." If your mouse, or zebrafish, has just died, please refrain from playing heavy-metal, rap, punk, hip-hop, etc., music for 48 hours in respect.

Hi Piebald, I'm sorry to say I have not seen that flick; did I miss much ? However, if you watched "Animal House" and "American Graffiti" back-to-back, you'd get close to some of my high-school, and early college, experiences. But, my generation (high-school class of '61) was not "under the shadows" of the Vietnam war, and other major cultural dislocations (school de-segregation, counter-culture, drug use), that those two movies, set a few years later, kind-of anticipate, or dance around.
Did we have rock-and-roll; well, how about Bo Diddley, Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Ike and Tina Turner, Gene Vincent, and, of course, Elvis, and Ray Charles, and The Platters, Clovers, Coasters, Drifters ? The first time I heard the Ramones (which was the last so-called punk-rock music I ever listened to), I thought: "well, white boys sure can't do Bo Diddley"

Once again I find myself in the position of needing to call BS on a blog post and deconstruct it: Yes, it is possible to be a good .NET developer, and here’s why. The state of .NET development (and developers), volume far too many

The original blog post was full of 'I know better than everyone else and my word is law'.
People like that make me want to scream.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

Yep! I found myself agreeing with the comment that asked whether such a godawful post really required such a good quality rebuttal.
I had to look up "derpy" which seems to be Ashton's favourite word - apparently it comes from My Little Pony. 'Nuff said!

It's a variant on 'derp', said by a person when they make a rather stupid mistake or miss something obvious.
Honestly I don't use it much, although I have had places where it was needed.
I was at a friend's house, and his little sister was watching MLP, and ended up getting rather confused by the rather disjointed plot line, and then wanted to do something else. The show didn't make sense at all, although that station later stated that their equipment had malfunctioned and was sending parts of shows in a random order. I wonder how that happened.

I can honestly say that I've never used that word or any variant thereof not have I ever heard anyone else say it!

It's common on a number of forums, usually ones related to gaming.
