Neither of those statements are true.
Yes they are, you just don't know who Facebook's customers are. (Hint: not people who log in to free Facebook accounts.)

Apparently!

I will help you.
The statement was that FB charged it's customers from the get-go and that it would never charge it's users as that is counter-productive.
FB was one of the first companies to hold off an extraordinarily long time before monetizing their users. So, my point of contention there was in the "from the get-go" part of the statement.
As for never charging the merchandise, that is also not technically correct as they do charge regular users to increase the reach on the content they post.
Yes, charging a monthly fee would be stupid of them. That does not mean they are not always trying to milk money from both sides of the equation.

That's just mean. Showing more of those words things to a guy who can't read.

Actually, I don't think it will actually help, but it's actually the actual thought that actually counts.

Do I at least get a "C" for creativity?

You can have whatever letter grade you want. It's all gibberish to somebody!

Same here, but 17". It still has a better resolution than the flat panel on my desk now. (1600x1200)
I have a 19" flat screen CRT I picked up for free in 2006 that my then-employer was throwing out (they were used for CAD and replaced with LCDs) that can do that resolution at 75Hz. So pretty.
Bedroom computer here has a nice old 19" CRT running 1600x1200@75. It's capable of 2048x1536@60, which I'm absolutely astounded actually works perfectly over a VGA cable: there's no visible blurring or ringing. It's Linux so higher resolution does actually look nicer, but it's a CRT so the 60Hz refresh is too flickery for me.

There are no holes left to remove.
Apart from the one they've just added in Windows 10, where you don't need to UAC elevate in order to script the creation of a scheduled task that can run stuff elevated without causing a UAC prompt. That particular hatchway is no longer even slightly airtight.

Really? Huh.

The same people that kick the network cable loose from their computers and then they never work again until the IT guy comes and plugs it back in.
To be fair, sometimes the network does get congested and the only way to fix it is to unplug the cable and let it drain for a while.
-
Just be sure to put the end of the cable in a bucket; bitstains are a total arse to remove from carpet

You just need more conductors.

IE's not as fast as Chrome or FF still, but if it weren't for the lack of adblock/extensions, it would be quite usable on the modern web.
Ad blocking, at least, is available. Last time I looked, though, it was locked to the Easylist filter subscription with no documented way to change that.

At least you don't have to worry about the token falling out with modern Ethernets, but it's certainly advisable to make sure you're working in a well ventilated area.

Ghostery is also available again, which is nice.

Interesting--last I looked, I could only find a thing that, IIRC, ran as a proxy.

You mean Windows 8.1. It's just been reconfirmed in 10.

It's not as daft as all that, as it means they can move things around without having to run cables. After all, the bottleneck will probably be the ISP connection, not the wireless.
Unless you live in an appartment building that is surrounded by appartment buildings. Having more than 20 wifi access points competing for the same frequencies at the same time all the time to a stable wifi connection, let alone a fast stable wifi connection.

Depends on your ISP as well. A colleague of mine's got gigabit.
Yes, gigabit. Symmetrical. On a consumer line.

Still, the IE team always sent the Mozilla/Netscape developers a cake after a major release, and vice versa. It was really classy.
Well, that was after this at least: http://home.snafu.de/tilman/mozilla/stomps.html

That's besides my point: the speed between your CPE and the Internet doesn't matter one bit if the wifi connection between your computer doesn't go faster than 300kB/s and drops every few minutes.
Also, don't tell Ben L. about that gigabit internet! He might cry...
-
That's my point. At that point wired will always be faster than wifi.
I don't have an external line that fast, but I do have 50 megabit symmetrical. And I have a NAS I like to make gigabit speeds to.
