How many times can I type an incorrect facebook password?
I want to snoop through my boyfriend’s facebook. I don’t want to hear about people’s opinions or the morality of this. I simply want an answer to the question. How many times can I try to type his password without raising suspicion or without him noticing?
Thanks!
Michelle answers:
3 I think. But you can try it with your own account and entering an incorrect password to test the notifications you recieve. There is a setting in Facebook though, that if he has it turned on, will notify him of logins from new computers, so you may want to only do it on a machine that he has logged in on before.

how do i regain access to my facebook account after it has been temporarily suspended and locked?
My facebook has been temporarily suspended for the past 5 days and won’t let me log in to my profile. When the message comes up it says its temporarily suspended. So I click continue and by step 2 it says your account is locked temporarily and wont let me continue to the next step. What do I do?
Michelle answers:
Well, you can contact them. Facebook, I mean. Like e-mail to them.
You’re lucky you’re not permanently suspended. But you will receive a e-mail saying that they’re sorry for your login troubles.
Wait for a bit longer…or you either make a new one temporarily, and then when it’s finished its suspension, go back to the other.

Michelle answers:
Make sure you understand the difference between deleting and deactivating

if you log into it while it’s in the process, you cancel the process and you have to start all over again

How do sites like facebook have so many different pages?
In a site like facebook or youtube there are so many different parts/ separate pages. since there are like 500 million members there are at least 500 million unique pages, not including apps and fan pages. how does this work, and how much money does it cost to run something like this? Mark (the founder) launched this from his college dorm room. how? are there companies that can have servers like this for cheap?
Michelle answers:
What Anon said was right.
It doesn’t actually have pages, the pages are dynamically made.
The basic of what happens is
Your information is stored in Databases,. Which put simply is like storing everything in a excel document. One column for names, one for address, one for friends etc. – very simplistic idea of a database.
Now what happens is when you request to see a certain page it requests the information from the database, which will then get processed by the server. This is where a server side script which usually kicks in, can be asp, php, which ever they write. Now this is processed by the server and creates a page based on the information. Then you see.
So actually there are no pages in facebook besides the initial login page. Everything is dynamically generated and informatoin is stored in their database.
As for how they were funded, he started very small scale he used to go to colleges and advertise to get more members. So initially he made no money and everything was made by outside investments not advertisements. What investors do is they will give you money, expecting a return later.
The reason behind this is, you would not be able to get good advertising companies untill you have so many unique visitors. Hence you would waste advertisement space on low paying ones. So once they reached a good number they took advertisements and partnerships with other companies.
