Thread: Census needs to GPS my house?????? WTF!!!

the census bureau is coming to your front door
an extended family member has taken a job with the census bereau and was telling me today about the training he is receiving. they are being trained on gps equiptment to log the coordinates of every home and residence in the us. not that i'm very surprised but this has been in the works for years just not important enough for us to worry ourselves about.
link to www.npr.org
All Things Considered, July 31, 2006 · Two-and-a-half years from now, in early 2009, the Census Bureau plans to send an army of 100,000 temporary workers down every street and dusty, dirt road in America. They will be armed with handheld GPS devices.
Robert LaMacchia, head of the Census Bureau's geography division, says they'll capture the latitude and longitude of the front door of every house, apartment and improvised shelter they find.
"We will actually knock on doors and look for hidden housing units," he says. "We will find converted garages; from the outside, it may not look like anybody lives there."
But census workers will add each dwelling, legal or not, to the Census Bureau's Master Address File.
Recent proposed budget cuts have put part of this plan in jeopardy. But if Congress restores the money, the census will end up with the geographic coordinates — accurate to within 10 feet — for about 110 million residences.
But the Census Bureau can't, by law, share that list with anyone, even local governments. LaMacchia says the information has to be treated as confidential. Otherwise, people might lie, and the census wouldn't be accurate.
"People would not tell us about hidden housing units," LaMacchia says. "People would not respond to the questionnaire if they believed that that information would be turned over to law enforcement or code enforcement and become public information."
Mapping Might Save Lives
Shoreh Elhami, director of Geographic Information Systems in Delaware County, Ohio, says this sort of information can save lives.
"Having a geographic dataset that is accurate, comprehensive and current is priceless," Elhami says.
Her passion and devotion have made Delaware County, a fast-growing area just north of Columbus, one of the most meticulously mapped areas of the country.
At her computer, with a few clicks of the mouse, Elhami can pull up a complex, multi-layered picture of Delaware County. Standard commercial software lets her highlight sewer lines, flood plains or real estate tracts. She can pick any address and retrieve pictures of that building from overhead and from the street, along with information about its owner.
The map can answer questions you never expected to ask, she says. Last year, a big storm came through. A reservoir on the Olentangy River, just upstream from the town, was in danger of overflowing, and authorities thought they might have to release water through the dam.
Nobody knew how many people in the town of Delaware might be flooded out of their homes. Elhami rushed to her electronic map. She added a new layer to the picture — an image she'd received from the Army Corps of Engineers showing low-lying areas that would end up under water.
The image showed the outline of the "inundation zone," and within it, lines and clusters of little red dots. Each of those dots was a house that lay within the potential flood zone.
"The software allows you to do a count of every one of those residences and produce a file of those addresses," she says.
Elhami delivered that file to emergency managers, and they quickly called the people at each address. Fortunately, the storms subsided, and no flood came.
Every address in the county is in a database, complete with geographic coordinates so it will show up accurately on a map.
Assembling that data is a time-consuming effort. On one recent summer morning, Caleb Gutshall and Sheri Feasel trudged down North Winter Street, in Delaware, checking each address on this commercial strip and making sure that the county's list of occupants was accurate. They also take pictures of any new buildings. One door was unnumbered and locked. Gutshall peered in the window, but learned nothing. "It doesn't look like anybody's in there," he said.
Now the Census Bureau is planning to undertake much the same kind of effort, on a massive scale, covering the entire country. Elhami says that the Master Address File could be a priceless resource for many counties that don't have the resources to collect that information on their own.

Did BP do enough?
The second phase of the Deepwater Horizon court hearing began this week, with energy giant BP battling a potential $17.6 billion fine for gross negligence. The New Orleans court will determine how much oil leaked into the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, and whether BP made every effort to stop it or – as the US government argues – it did not try hard enough.
Dark matters more
Forget the Higgs boson: dark matter is where it's at. Only 53 per cent of physicists surveyed at a workshop in Madrid, Spain, believe the Higgs will reveal new insights into fundamental forces, whereas 75 per cent expect that dark matter will be detected within the next decade.
Guns in their sights
The US government has relaunched research into the causes of firearm violence, funding for which was cut in 1996 after pressure from the gun lobby. In January, President Barack Obama ordered work to resume following the massacre at Sandy Hook elementary school in Connecticut last December. Last week, the government began soliciting new research proposals.
War on drugs: #fail
Illegal drugs are now cheaper and purer than at any time in the past 20 years. The International Centre for Science in Drug Policy has analysed data from seven international drug surveillance systems and says that the street price of drugs such as heroin and cocaine has fallen since 1990, even as their potency has increased (BMJ Open, doi.org/n3j).
Volcano puzzle solved
A volcanic eruption in 1257 was one of the biggest in the past 7000 years, but its location had been a mystery. Now traces of the blast in ice cores, together with newly analysed rocks, have pinpointed Mount Samalas in Indonesia as the culprit (PNAS, doi.org/n3k).

I understand that the former is used prior to the latter, but what is the conceptual difference? Is there any good reasons I should set some variables in one and not in other? Except the fact that
/etc/environment seems to exist to set up environment for all processes run by the system, while
/etc/profile is for setting up environment used and propagated from the login shell, correct?
Also, on a side note, which program traditionally reads
/etc/environment? I mean which program I cannot find any good references by googling. Is it related to POSIX, or just a convention?

Things To Think About When Deciding On An Area To Buy A House
There are many things to think about when buying a house such as price and the condition of the home. Because of these things it can be quite easy to forget about a lot of other very important things. So before deciding on a area to purchase your next (or first) property in, have a think about the below.
Is The Area Booming
In our experience here at Property Village, we often look at newspaper articles which often have articles such as the "Top 15 Hotest Cities For 2015". We look at these claims and make up our own minds if we believe them to be true. Then we would look at the one suburb further out from the city to one of these 'booming' suburbs and purchase property there. This often means that the prices are still cheap there and are likely to boom next. Obviously this is not a guarantee, but in our experience, we have seen it over and over again.
One important factor to help you decide on an area to buy a house is the demographics of that area. This can often help you determine how an area is doing and how healthy the population there is. So if there are a lot of people in an area which are unhealthy, obese, uneducated, these areas generally have more crime and may not be as safe for you and your family. However, if you are ok with these things, they also generally mean the housing prices will be lower but they may actually drop if the area gets any worse.
Are There Good Schools Near By
Often young families want to buy a home as they plan on having kids and want to have a family in this place. So these young families buy a house in a nice area but they didn't think to look into how the schools were there or even if there were any schools in the area. This can be a major issue as some schools are far better than other schools and in some areas, families may have to travel up to 30 minutes each way to drop their kids off to school. So always have a look at which school are around and how far away they are.
Parks / Playgrounds
As your kids grow up, it is really handy to have parks and or playgrounds nearby. This will help them go outside and get some exercise. They will also be less bored at home and less likely to spend all their free time on computer games.

linear multivariate statistics
function glm = encode( y, var_type, model, varargin )
%ENCODE encode a linear model
% glm = encode( response, var_type, model, varargin )
% response - an m x 1 vector or m x n matrix of system responses
% - used during model building to find and remove missing
% - values
% var_type - a scalar or k-vector specifying the type of each of k
% - variables given in varargin. See below for details
% model - a scalar or q x k matrix. See below for details
% varagin - k model variables. These can be m vectors, or m x 1
% - cellarrays of strings. missing values (nans or empty
% - strings) are removed from all observations
% flexibly encodes predictor variables, varargin, into a design matrix that
% can be used in several functions. the model is returned in glm.
% The values of the response variable (independent variable) are given
% in y. y is used in the encoding step only to filter missing values.
% a missing response variable removes an entire row from the design matrix
% If all responses of a certain level of a categorical variable are
% missing, then an entire column of the design matrix is removed.
% missing responses are indicated by nan in the vector. If y is empty
% then all the values are assumed to be present
% The predictor variables in varargin may be continous or categorical
% (discrete). They are cell arrays or numerical vectors of the same length
% as the response variable (if provided)
% You can specify how these are encoded by providing a vector of variable
% types (one element for each predictor variable) in var_type
% The value of the var_type is one of the following
% var_type = 3 means coding 0/1, overdetermined, implies creation of cmat
% var_type = 2 means coding 0/1, full rank (aka ordinal encoding)
% var_type = 1 means coding 0/-1/1, full rank (aka nominal encoding)
% var_type = 0 means continous. use predictor variable directly
% var_type = -1 means continuous centered
% var_type = -2 means continuous centered and scaled to range 2
% var_type is optional. If var_type is empty the type is guessed using
% the function isdiscrete. If var_type is present it must be the same
% length as varargin or be a scalar. If it is a scalar it applies to all
% variables
% The model is either a scalar or a matrix of terms. If it is a scalar it
% refers to the degree of the model. 1 indicates a 1st degree model which
% contains only main effects. A 2nd degree model contains main effects and

% zeros thus some variables may be excluded from the model.
% A row with all zeros, if present, must be the first row
% and is a global intercept
% emodel - expanded matrix of parameterized terms. each row
% represents one term in the fully parameterized model.
% Each column refers to a column in the design matrix
% dmat - the design matrix
% cmat - constraints
% matrix. each row indicates a group of columns
% in the design matrix whose coefficients will be

% terms - vector with one element for each column in dmat.
% indicates with term in the factor effects model the
% column refers to.
% var_names - names of the variables in varargin (or x1,x2,x2..., if
% the names cannot be determined.
% coeff_names - a cell arrary containing the names of each level of a
% categorical variable, or the variable name of a continous
% one.
% var_types - the type of variable encoding used for each variable. This is the
% same as the input parameter if it was present, otherwise
% it is the value that was guessed by isdiscrete.
% T - intermediate output. It is the numerical encoding 1:r of
% each categorical variable, or the numeric values of a

% nlevels - a vector with one element for each variable. The value
% shows the number of columns used in the design matrix.
% This will be a 1 for continous variables. For categorical
% variable the value depends on the number of levels of the

Re: OCZ Technology Discontinues Memory Module Business
I owned 8GB DDR2 OCZ memory for 2 years now, bought it for £70 and it was the cheapest branded overclockable memory with lifetime warranty. Sad to see OCZ exit DRAM market and I did a research on DRAM manufacturers then now can see why OCZ decided to exit DRAM business. OCZ Technology 2009 revenue was $144m so that not only for the sales of RAM memory but other products like SSD, PSUs etc. Accorded to 10-Q filing that OCZ had made decision to exit RAM business back in August 2010, they checked their inventory of RAM memory modules and had it valued at $2.8m. That not alot of money to make selling RAM memory with just nearly 2% of annual revenue.
I am surprised how wrong many of you believed Corsair is now the big dog dominate the memory market. Actually Corsair sold very fewer RAM memory modules than Kingston, Corsair 2009 revenue was $325.6m. Like OCZ, Corsair sell other products like CPU coolers, PSUs, SSDs, USB flash memory sticks, headphones etc. But Kingston is not the number 1 RAM memory maker, their 2009 revenue was $4.1bn sell memory products. So the top dog number 1 is surprise surprise Crucial! Like Kingston, Crucial which is a part of Micron Technology sell memory products with 2010 revenue accounted $8.482bn. Crucial/Micron sold more memory products than OCZ, Corsair, GEIL, G.Skill and Kingston all combined.
Intel Core i7 3770K, Corsair H80 liquid cooler with Noctua S12-1200 fan, ASUS P8Z77V with UEFI 2104, 16GB Samsung Green 30nm DDR3-RAM, Pioneer BDR-S09XLT 16x Blu-ray writer, Corsair AX850 PSU, Western Digital 2TB SATA3 hard drive, CanonScan LiDE 210 scanner, Microsoft Internet Keyboard, Microsoft Touch Explorer mouse, 32inch Sharp LC32LE600 LED TV, EVGA Geforce GTX 670 SC 4GB with Geforce 370.50 driver, 50Mb broadband Virgin Media VMDG480 Super Hub, Aspire Xplorer Midi Tower, Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit.

"Love that it wasnt too big and can fit on the side of the fridge nicely (if you have a stainless steel fridge). Love it."
"I was really excited to get our save the date cards. They were easy to make. Just upload your images and drop them in. I particularly liked this design because it worked with a number of our engagement photos. It also seemed to have the right picture ratios. Some of the other designs that I looked at had mostly horizontal, or square images. It ended up not being able to use some of our favorite photos. The only thing I wanted to change was the 'save the date' font. It's a bit too, country for our wedding design."
"Our wedding theme is rustic so with this particular save the date it fit perfectly. My fiancé and I have been together for 10 years so it was a great story line for those whom we met in the last few years or so to share pieces of our history. Very fast shipping. I ordered on a Tuesday night and they arrived first thing Saturday morning. The printing was perfect."
"These magnets came out beautifully; they are simple but elegant. The designer recommendations were spot on and the item arrived exactly as it was stated in the order. I have already received many compliments and would recommend this to anyone."
"I was so pleased with my magnetic save the date. I received so many compliments about the uniqueness of having the save the date on a magnet. It was easy to customize the colours to suit my wedding theme. Delivery was quick and easy. I would highly recommend this item- I was very pleased with it."

WALLA WALLA — The artist who made his local acclaim on the corner of First and Main, usually right in front of or inside Starbucks, released his first series of books this week.
"I don't' know where this is all headed to be honest with you," Glen Greenwalt said in a recent phone interview from his Seattle apartment, all the while sounding more concerned with creating art than marketing it.
Nevertheless, the new coffee book author will make several guest appearances at bookstores across the Northwest to promote his latest released work, and his first visit will be across the street from Starbucks at Book & Game Co. on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m.-3 p.m.
Greenwalt's art career started in the mid-1990s when he was encouraged by his father to take up drawing. At the time, Greenwalt had been working the last two decades as a theology professor at Walla Walla College. It was only a couple years after taking up drawing that he gave up teaching theology and pursued an art career, which included attending the New York Academy of Art.
"I love to draw. It is somehow magical to me. Looking at my drawings (knowing) that they are printed is almost like looking at someone else's work. I see things I did not remember doing in drawings. I hear that writers have the same response to works of theirs that end up in print. And I am getting geared up again to paint," Greenwalt said by email.
Greenwalt still teaches today to help pay the bills, but this time the topic is art.
As for selling his works, the artist admits he is not as passionate about marketing as he is about drawing. He rarely has shows. When he does sell something, it is usually at the request of someone who has seen him drawing in public.
So how does a talented, prolific and passionate artist who shies away from the business of art get to be an author of three books of his own works?
Again, it all started on First and Main.
While showing his works to a friend in Starbucks, a suggestion was made that he create a book drawings and include famous quotes with each illustration.
What followed was a study in print.
Greenwalt went online to learn how to get published. It turned out to be a simple process, at least for Greenwalt, who recognizes most would-be authors struggle for years — if ever — to get picked up by an agent or publishing house.
Greenwalt sent out six letters to literary agents. They were followed by three nonresponses, two rejections and one acceptance offer, he said.
"I tell you it has just been a miracle really because it just does not happen," Greenwalt said.
So a contract was signed and a forward was paid to Greenwalt, who then began compiling the art for a project that would never be.
It was 2008 and the economy was in a downtrend, so the publisher pulled out of the deal. But Greenwalt's agent, Helen Zimmerman, stuck with the Walla Walla artist, who had since moved from Walla Walla to Seattle. Zimmerman even suggested Greenwalt market three books instead of one, he said.
Almost three years passed until the spring of 2011. Greenwalt was feeling his book would never get picked up and, like many artists from time to time, he was in need of encouragement. It came in an email from his agent detailing how Delphinium Books, partnering with HarperCollins Publishing, wanted all three of Greenwalt's books.
Greenwalt recounted the exchange by email:
"I woke up feeling depressed," Greenwalt wrote back in his response to Zimmerman. "Seattle is at its gray worst with clouds, but no rain, and therefore, no reflections and no sparkles. Yesterday, I just added the last piece of furniture to my apartment, a special order, but it looks dumpy, and given its status as a special order, cannot be returned … I could go on tabulating the petty misfortunes I was ruminating on this morning, but I think you get the picture.
"Then I find your email!!!!! Yes, I am ecstatic. I know that seeking validation for one's work is usually counterproductive, all the same, I needed validation this morning. I opened my email, hoping to find some small word of encouragement from someone, and there was your email!"
Carl Lennertz of Delphinium Books said it is a company policy never to release the number of books published, but did write in an email, "We focused the three books' efforts on the (Pacific Northwest) as Glen is there, and well, it is wine and coffee country! But stores around the country took copies."
Each book is a hardback of 100 pages, just shy of 7 inches by 6 inches. And each is filled with approximately 50 of Greenwalt's drawings accompanied by thought-provoking and often playful quotes and quips.
The books sell for $10.99 each. Greenwalt said he gets about 17 percent.
Greenwalt's contract requires him to do a number of book signings at various Pacific Northwest locations.
The artist said he welcomes this type of marketing, as it will allow him to travel, meet new people and find new subjects for his work. And he is especially looking forward to returning to First and Main.
"My first showing, I wanted it to be in Walla Walla because that is where it all started."

HTC strikes exclusive deal with Beats Audio, coming to HTC phones
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Corporate News, Handhelds, Music
HTC has announced a strategic investment and partnership with Beats Electronics, with the goal of bringing high-quality sound to HTC phones.
HTC did not disclose the amount of the investment, which AllThingsD pegged at $300 million. HTC had previously announced an "major news announcement" for Friday, scheduled for 8:30 AM in Los Angeles.
In a separate statement, however, HTC said that a "line of HTC devices integrated with Beats sound innovations would be launched this fall". Beats Electronics is most known for its "Beats by Dr. Dre" brand, with a partnership with the iconic rapper and producer.

Android is running on half of the smartphones in the world
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Google, Software
Are almost 50 percent of the world's smartphones running Google's Android? According to Monday data from Canalys, Android ended the second quarter with 48 percent of the market, with Asia Pacific leading the charge.
Globally, the smartphone market is up 73 percent from last year, with 107.7 million devices shipped in the last quarter. Of the 56 countries tracked by Canalys, Android topped 35 of them, with 51.9 million shipments overall.
Why the boost? Canalys pointed to strong Android support from major handset makers like Samsung, HTC, LG, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, ZTE, and Huawei. Android holds 85 percent of the market in South Korea and 71 percent in Taiwan alone.
Apple came in second place with 20.3 million iPhones sold and 19 percent of the market, which was enough to overtake Nokia's Symbian platform and make Apple the world's top smartphone vendor.

HTC Status Facebook phone launches on AT&T
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Handhelds, Internet
The Facebook phones are finally here. Today AT&T and HTC announced the Status, the first U.S. phone with a dedicated Facebook button.
The Status is a small Android 2.3-based smartphone with a horizontal 480-by-320, 2.6-inch touch screen and a keyboard on the front. Its most important feature, though, is the dedicated Facebook logo button near the bottom of the phone. You can press the button to immediately share what you're doing or where you are, whether you're sharing a photo you just took, an interesting Web page, or a status update.
Facebook chat, which is missing from many phone versions of Facebook, is plumbed in here, and a home-screen widget shows if your friends are available. When you get a call, the caller's Facebook status pops up on the screen.
This is also a full-fledged Android phone, of course, with the latest version of HTC's Sense UI, which is widely considered to be the most thoughtful of the manufacturer Android software extensions. For example, you can jump immediately to popular apps from the lock screen by dragging a ring over the app's icon, an HTC-exclusive feature.

Why is the HTC Evo View 4G the first Android tablet that supports Netflix?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Editorial, Handhelds, Home Entertainment
Here comes the HTC Evo View 4G! And it's packing a lot of firsts for its Friday debut on Sprint: The tablet is Sprint's first 4G Android tablet to hit the market, period–that's the first tablet set up to work with the company's 4G WiMax network—around 5 Mbps downloads and 950 Kbps uploads.
Most importantly—for movie buffs—the HTC Evo View 4G is the first tablet to ship with built-in support for Netflix movie and video streaming. In doing so, it joins an exclusive club of Android devices that support the service: A sad list that's currently limited to just nine Android smartphones.
So what's the deal? Are other Android-equipped devices—both phones and tablets—just too slow to run Netflix? Not necessarily. A Sprint spokeswoman confirmed in an interview with Wired that the company performed plenty of testing to ensure that Netflix streaming would proceed smoothly across the company's network.
The more realistic answer as to why you can't yet get Netflix on, say, a Motorola Xoom tablet, is the ugly monster that often rears its head whenever Android upgrades are discussed: Fragmentation. In the case of Netflix, the company has to perform extra research and configuration to ensure that the digital rights management systems it employs work across a number of Android devices. And that's not just a work-once, works-everywhere kind of proposal.

T-Mobile announces inexpensive Samsung Exhibit 4G, Gravity SMART phones
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Google, Handhelds
On the heels of yesterday's heady HTC Sensation 4G announcement, T-Mobile announced Thursday that it is coming out with its second Android 2.3, aka Gingerbread, device this month, the Samsung Exhibit 4G.
Not only does it cost half the price of the HTC Sensation, it actually runs on 4G speed, which T-Mobile defines as HSPA+ 21. The Sensation, meanwhile, is stuck on HSPA+ 14.4.
For a modest $79.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and two-year contract, the Samsung Exhibit 4G comes with a 1-GHz processor, touch screen keyboard, 3-megapixel rear-facing camera, front-facing photo camera with pre-installed video chat, Flash-supported Web browsing, microSD slot, and best of all, theoretical speeds of 21 Mbps. Or perhaps this is the best part: the phone also comes pre-loaded with Bejeweled 2, Hasbro's Scrabble, and Doodle Jump.
The Exhibit comes in black or violet, and is expected to hit stores sometime in June, T-Mobile said.

Apple says that "App Store" does not imply a store for buying apps
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Corporate News, Software
According to Apple, an "app store" is not a store for apps. Right. Apple warns, the phrase "app store" is not generic and can only be used to describe their App Store, which is their...um, app store?
"Apple denies that, based on their common meaning, the words 'app store' together denote a store for apps," Apple said in a Thursday filing with a California district court.
Apple has been fighting several tech giants on this point lately. In March, Apple sued Amazon over its Amazon Appstore, arguing that Apple has the exclusive rights to the phrase because of its iTunes App Store. Apple has targeted Microsoft on similar grounds.
Last month, Amazon responded to the suit, arguing that the term "app store" is generic and that Apple should not be allowed to use it exclusively. Amazon cited the American Dialect Society, which recently voted "app" as the Word of the Year for 2010, noting "that although the word 'has been around for ages,' it 'really exploded in the last 12 months,' with the arrival of 'app stores' for a wide spectrum of operating systems for phones and computers.' Indeed the words 'app store' are commonly used among many businesses in the app store market," Amazon argued.
Apple is not buying it, at least not publicly. "Apple denies that the words 'app store' are commonly used among many businesses to describe mobile software download services and further denies that the term 'app store market' is used to describe the market for mobile software download services," the company reiterated in response to Amazon's filing.

Questions and Answers: Sarah Tyman Winiarski '06
Why do you give to Springfield College athletics?
I give to SC athletics because I was a student-athlete. I look back on my time at SC and remember funds needed for uniforms, warm ups, travel expenses, etc. I also had a great time building friendships and want those opportunities for future student-athletes.
What impact do you think your gifts have on student-athletes?
I hope my gifts have afforded a student-athlete the same opportunities I had.
How can coaches use philanthropic support to advance the student-athlete experience?
Coaches can be great ambassadors to future donors on behalf of student-athletes. The support gained through coaches' relationships with past student-athletes can help drive further support. Coaches also know first-hand the needs of student-athletes.
What teams do you support and why?
As a former Track and Field athlete, it was natural for me to want to support the women's team. The memories and friendships I made, and the life lessons I learned from my experiences have been invaluable to me.
What was your most memorable experience as a student-athlete or supporter of athletics at Springfield College?
My most memorable experience as a student-athlete was competing on the XC and track and field teams for four years. Each day was a challenge, but worth it.
What would you like other Friends of Springfield College Athletics to know?
I would like others to know that giving back to an institution that has given so much to me is very important to me.

Guys do you mind if your girlfriend's Facebook status says 'single'?
What if it's a girl you're seriously dating?
Most Helpful Opinion
For me, a status update on my Facebook page doesn't show how much I care about that person. Yes, you might feel like "shout[ing] it from the mountain tops" that you're now in a relationship; however, which makes you happier: updating your Facebook status so that everyone knows that you've been taken or just knowing that you're in a relationship with someone who makes you feel warm and happy?
Honestly, in my opinion, if you get butt hurt over the other person not changing their status then you either really need to re-evaluate your priorities or you can directly ask the person what their feelings on the matter is. Chances are, the other person will disagree with you on several things. Why get upset when you can just ask, talk about it, and come to an understanding instead? Besides, that's how good relationships work, don't they?
best opinion I've seen so far since I joined this site ^^
What Guys Said 35
Not really but I'd sure ask her why is it that way without making her feel uncomfortable as much as possible.
If she's looking out she's free to do so, which means she's not convinced with me or my feelings for her. However, I won't rush out looking for another one myself if I am sure she's the one for me nor will I do anything extra to woo her and keep her in place. I'd want her to know and accept me as I am for her when she met me and is with me now.
If she straight out said she was single in a post, then yes.
But if it jus says "Relationship Status: Single" I wouldn't really care. The only problem is I would have to put mine as single too because no one would be me if I just left it as "in a relationship" without the name of the girl I'm in it with.
Facebook itself is a medium for displaying information to EVERYONE.
Implying that you don't want to show whether you're dating or not to people whom it does not concern the least, obviously setting that piece of information does not actually matter.
So I personally voted no. I know I'm dating, and that should be enough.
My status is completely blank, my SO's is "single", but it's just because we don't really care about Facebook and don't visit it much anyways. Displaying every aspect of my life there is like writing a diary then showing it off to everyone - even though it is a private matter.
Damn f*cking right I would.
I wouldn't want to date some girl that wants to appear single to other ppl.
I'd be furious (presuming she actually logged into FB since we've become official)!
I'd gently ask her, and if she does ANYTHING but conform to my wishes, we're done on the spot.
Cauz frankly I can't trust her telling (literally) everyone that she knows (and doesn't know) in cyberspace that she's single.
If I've asked the girl to be my girlfriend and over the course of at least a week she hasn't changed the status to in a relationship. I'm not going to be very happy. Obviously she's hiding the relationship. As they say, if you are truly happy in your relationship and like the person you are with, you should want to shout it from the mountain tops, not hide it.
Now if it was because of some outside circumstance like a crazy ex Boyfriend or a crazy family. Then I'll be more accepting of it, but even then, that brings up other issues that would need to be addressed.
I don't worry about my status much and I do not expect the girl to, either. Some of the people in my network are actors and other artists, using Facebook to build their fan bases. They would keep the status as Single regardless for professional reasons.
At the other end of the scale we have people who would jitter between "in a relationship", "it's complicated" and "single" depending who won the fight that day, them or their significant other. These same type people would often post public status updates like "hungry" or "hate this traffic", or "some people are just pigs - you know who you are" and so on.
if I got engaged or married I would likely update my status to that effect, and I would expect my girl to do likewise. Anything short of that is single. Getting more granular than that feels silly - it's like next they make it possible to communicate in FB status if you got to a 2nd base or if you fed the girl 3 dinners but no sex yet?
Well, why do you want to keep it single in the first place? it just sounds shady to me.
It's like when a girl doesn't want to drink it. It's like she is not completely sure about you and doesn't want to let herself go.
I don't know, Facebook is a stupid thing anyway, but the fact that you want to keep it like that says a lot of stuff about the relationship.
In the worse case scenario you want to cheat, in the best case, you are embarrased of him and don't want people to know you are dating him. Either way I feel bad for the dude.
I wouldn't really pay attention to a girls FaceBook page, but if FaceBook is an important part of your life, and you like to post all your business on the internet I don't see why you wouldn't update that to say relationship unless you really need a lot of attention and like to toy with guys feelings over the internet.
Uh.. Duh. Yeah. Considering how many people use Facebook, primarily to get some, you bet your ass I'd mind. Even more, I'd wanna know why. I mean is she ashamed of me? Doesn't she want to tell someone? Am I a dirty little secret? Is she screwing around? Is she in want of something better?
So yeah, it would bother me.
- Show More
What Girls Said 15
I know that it'd drive my boyfriend nuts. I'm not so sure why, but I know it'd upset me too if his were single while we were dating. Not sure why, but that's just how it is. Probably because so many people use Facebook as a way to look up their crushes and see if they're taken. If the status is "single" then they could flirt with that person. I'm very confident with the devotion in my relationship, but it'd get annoying for both of us if people kept flirting when we weren't interested.
I think this goes for guys and girls- if a relationship status is blank, that's OK. If you just recently started dating, or being in a en exclusive relationship and you keep it on 'single' for a few weeks in, no biggie. If you've been with them a while, they do update their fb regularly, and it says 'single'...Yeah that's not OK. If they want to keep their relationships private, they can remove the status entirely. By staying 'single' it makes them look available to other men/women, which shouldn't be encouraged when in a relationship.
If he is a daily Facebook user and his profile says Single, then WTF.
If it doesn't say anything at all, fine. If he rarely uses Facebook, maybe that's okay.
It doesn't have to say Dating, but if it says single, he'd better have a damn good reason.
In the end tho, its a webpage.
One you can chat to girls on... ;)
I don't think it should matter. If she feels comfortable telling people that she is in a relationship then so be it if not then so what. Some people don't want other people to know all their business. It has nothing to do with being embarrassed its just that sometimes when people find out that you are in a relationship they talk about you & ask you too many questions like how did yall meet? what did yall do on your dates? are yall having sex? how do your parents feel about yall together? etc. it's just too much to handle when people are all in your business.
it's just Facebook. I personally don't have my relationship status up
Having it blank is WAY different than having it say you're "available" when you're not.
If it bothered your partner if your status says "single", would you change it to "in a relationship" if it was an ultimatum-type situation?
Have an opinion?
