r @saturn825 who won Ford v. Chevy?? [ed: pretty sure that was Toyota.]

I am *convinced* AT&T vs. Verizon is Ford vs. Chevy in new bottles. Can't we get Calvin peeing on one of these guys, stat?

ok so Droid, Android, they're already wrecking the brand. Godspeed gentlemen, like Microsoft before you. Enjoy.

Can someone tell me what the breakdown of answers on Yahoo! Answers is? http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/2457/crackedyahooanswers.jpg

r @nathanbowers here's what you don't seem to grok: programming *is* design, when you do it right. Most people don't.

r @nathanbowers pagerank was a strategy, too, and that's just code. You can't ride the code forever, but it sure as hell helps to start

r @nathanbowers false dichotomy. That's like telling apple they should be more valuable at strategy than design, or they're doing it wrong.

r @mohitthatte ordering 6k records takes 100ms on my 3.8 Ghz Core 2 Duo? Bubble Sort takes time?

the mysteries of SQL: getting 6000 records back with order by clause: 160ms. getting 6000 records back unorderd: 60ms. huh??
