I don't understand why people are so gullible, sometimes I feel that people would believe/do anything comes to their inboxes. "Dude, there is no such thing as a dancing carpet!!" "I just got it in my e-mail, I'll show you the video!!" True story btw.... @Kae: lol, virtual desktop? That is something 95% of the world cannot claim to have :D Ya I got a couple of those.

I tend to skip around in desktop-land (I even try Gnome every now and then... and my current opinion of KDE4 is unprintable) and after I've spent a while in Fluxbox and shifted to something else, I find myself cursing every time an application mysteriously disappears from view when I just wanted to shift view.... alt+f4? in Fluxbox, it brings you to the fourth virtual desktop.

It closes your screen once you've forwarded it to your mates. Yup, a useless chain letter, and your friends are idiots. It closes your screen once you’ve forwarded it to your mates.

So what does happen when people reply to the post? Do they actually see a status screen? Wouldn't it just close your screen? Why would people think it actual works if they know FB's privacy rules? I just can't believe so many of my friends are that easily deceived. So it’s a useless chain letter? So what does happen when people reply to the post? Do they actually see a status screen?

Most of them are just full of the kind of spam you describe, with nothing else of value. Though I do suggest installing the "is the sun burning?" application!

It's not possibly to prevent people from being idiots and any service that relies on the general public for content is going to suffer from such stupidity. For all its faults, Facebook is a damn site better than MySpace. To be fair to Facebook, this is more of a “chain letter/e-mail” sort of thing as opposed to actual, automated spam.
