<div>Kind of reminds me of all these movies where someone deletes something from a computer by dramatically backspacing everything. Like in Daredevil, for example. [[Special:Contributions/95.35.60.227|95.35.60.227]] 07:34, 12 August 2013 (UTC)<br />

::I hate it when CTRL+Backspace doesn't work as expected, or starts adding non-printable characters instead. [[User:Saibot84|Saibot84]] ([[User talk:Saibot84|talk]]) 12:42, 12 August 2013 (UTC)<br />

It wouldn't surprise me if FB kept a list of all the people who unfriended you. I know that they don't delete accounts that have been deleted. [[User:Hax|Hax]] ([[User talk:Hax|talk]]) 14:45, 12 August 2013 (UTC)<br />

The reference to defriending in reverse order could be a joke about memory management in programming: You free up memory in reverse of the order you allocated it --[[User:Eqdw|Eqdw]] ([[User talk:Eqdw|talk]]) 16:49, 12 August 2013 (UTC)<br />

:I agree with Eqdw on the memory management reference; the title text especially seems to reference memory leak problems. Unfortunately, I lack sufficient technical knowledge to provide a good explanation of this for the description.

I remember using Noroom's List Manager to clean up my block/allow lists after a person has removed me from their contact list in good old MSN with good old MSG Plus! (with good old ***ware) [[Special:Contributions/84.225.4.214|84.225.4.214]] 19:06, 12 August 2013 (UTC)<br />

Some bullshit on the page. Not sure if it could be edited to something that makes sense, if not it probably should be erased: "''But it also may refer to databases and the query language SQL. Modern web sites are always saved in such databases and using references from one entity to an other. A entity in this context is a thing in the modeled world, in this case Cueball and his friends. By using the entity–relationship model the friends will still have a relationship to the nonexistent user Cueball, the links are orphaned.''". Problems: 1) Modern web sites tend to shift from SQL to No-SQL databases, especially sites like social networks; 2) The described behavior is not a problem in a properly designed SQL database, since absence of orphaned links is ensured by foreign constraints.
