stand by, doing some experiments with networking on Stack Overflow that aren't quite going to plan..

so from what you guys are telling me, Teh Facebooks runs better on a Macbook than a netbook? http://is.gd/6TFhP

we almost have a netbook in every room of our house now. Funny thing: 3 netbooks, still cheaper than ONE macbook. :)

I am so glad 11.6" is becoming a fairly standard netbook size. 1366x768 is WAY more usable than 1024x768 (or, worse, 1024x600)

if you can deal with the atom CPU, $249 is a great price for this netbook http://is.gd/6TCX2

r @shanselman this is for a very minor thing; I think we're just going to proactively detect android and iphone and leave it at that

wow, mobile user-agents are officially out of control.. http://www.zytrax.com/tech/web/mobile_ids.html

which mobile browser user-agents are worth detecting? iphone? android? winmo? opera mini? anything else?

Stack Overflow Careers: making love connections. Not like that you perv! http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/01/careers-success-stories/

GitHub did not work well for us, and we're moving to Google Code. If GitHub works for you, great.

hey @pjhyett can you explain how a GitHub "explosion at the fork factory" graph of 500+ forks is useful.. ever.. to anyone..?

rt @joeywendt That pomodoro system looks like what I need to complete my passive income system [before the singularity arrives]!

r @jongalloway if one can never say "no" to unrealistic demands on one's time, choice of "productivity system" is irrelevant

hey, I got an idea. Instead of imagineering a "productivity system", how about just GETTING OFF YOUR ASS!

r @jongalloway dear sweet Jesus, the "pomodoro" system? is this what "Getting Things Done" has come to? http://is.gd/6J4lD

854 forks.. how is THAT helping anyone? Can't even draw the graph due to an I/O error. http://github.com/mangos/mangos/network

I think I'm gonna have to go with Mercurial in the coke/pepsi of next-gen source control wars. PEPSI FOREVER BITCHES!

well, based on the WMD hosting experience, I'm not a fan of GitHub. Too much fork confusion, too many support emails. YMMV.

basing previous comments over the utter chaos that is the WMD GitHub proj. Everyone that touches it is confused; so many support emails

there are stupid questions. But that's OK. In order to de-stupidize, you have to get over your fear of *looking* stupid.

I nominate "there is no such thing as a stupid question" for biggest lie of the century.
