Is that the real Dina or a fake Dina? If it's the real Dina I could see why LiLo might have grown up with emotional issues.

750,000 nay votes != 94% of Facebook's users

No, it just means that 750,000 people responded nay to the poll. I'm pretty sure that there are more than millions of Facebook users.

Wait a minute, how can an EDP be both missing and DOA?

Facebook won't change. Just like Friendster didn't. Nor Myspace. Nor will the next one, after they replace Facebook.
