How to disable all applications in Facebook

Tired of getting annoying Farmville requests from your stupid friends? Yeah you can hide requests from different apps and games one by one as they turn up, but wouldn't it be great if you could just disable them all, forever? Well, there is a way. Just follow these steps and you'll never be bothered with any of this stupid crap again. Bonus feature- it also seems to disable some of the advertisements in Facebook. I bet they don't realize that yet.

1. Go to your Facebook page. (duh)
2. Click on Account at the top right.
3. Click on Privacy Settings.
   
4. On the bottom left, under Applications and Websites, click Edit your settings.
5. Click Turn off all platform applications.
6. Click Select all and then click the Turn Off Platform button.
7. Enjoy your much less spammy Facebook account.
