Repeat after me: Privacy is already dead

So here's a fun pickle: a school system accidentally leaves some kids social security #'s on a public server which gets indexed by Google. Instead of owning up to their mistake, they sue Google for "trespassing" or something like that. When are people going to realize that privacy as we (used to) know it is gone for good? Stop whining and get used to it.

BTW, I had a wheat bagel with honey nut cream cheese for breakfast this morning. Let's see when that fact shows up on Google!
