@DrPizza meh, they see (armed) police everywhere all the time anyhow. Police are good guys.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@samsaffron @mdu4rt3 I'm still pushing for portable nukes

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gposton adults talk about both. Hard to imagine how you'd kill 26 people in 10 minutes any other way. So easy.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@qualitycode @jdgwillard do guns grow food, too?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@michaelipscombe agreed, pools are risky. And expensive. Wake me up when every year children are thrown in and held down.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@michaelipscombe if owning a gun cost as much as owning a pool, I think we would be in better shape.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dotNetKnight @jdgwillard that's why you need a portable nuke. It's the only way to be sure.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dotNetKnight @jdgwillard be brave enough to accept the idea that you can fight people with guns, without using guns. http://t.co/XCRIjhWU

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jarrod_dixon @JasonPunyon SLAPPIN DA BASS?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dotNetKnight @jdgwillard remind me: when was the last time guns were successfully used to change anything about the American government?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baconmeteor well I understand, being a super famous Venture Capitalist, and all, that you obviously have bigger fish to fry. <3

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@baconmeteor donated. Now to be completely crass, might I get a response to emails? Token responses gratefully accepted.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dotNetKnight @jdgwillard I wasn't aware the second amendment was a person with opinions.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza he is a pain in the ass but I love him anyway

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ditchurd let's use grief as a tool to silence movements.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jdgwillard and how many attacks like that since? How many children killed in schools with guns since then?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jdgwillard ok, so portable nukes for everyone for protection, right?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jdgwillard And tell me how many kids died in that attack?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jdgwillard It's the truth. Honest question: name the last incident where a single civilian killed 25+ other people in an hour without guns.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@whitlockjc I'm not sure how strong restrictions, like a pilot's license that requires training and cert, would be that big of a penalty.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@whitlockjc nothing is a complete fix to anything. But it's a huge step in the right direction.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jdgwillard I'm American because I tolerate and respect opinions that are different from mine, even if I disagree with them.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@whitlockjc let's count deaths, shall we? zero. Versus ~25.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cj7wilson you'll need a nuke for the ultimate protection.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@franklinleonard the right to bear arms, basically.. country founded on a principle. That I think is kind of obsolete and harmful now.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ExMember it worked because even crazy people realize you have to regulate something that could kill ALL the children. Eg. human race.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@volkadav neither does 100% of homeland security policies on shoe bombing, airplane liquids, etc, but we do that anyway.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@whitlockjc @jasonwhaley guns just make it a whole lot easier, faster, and efficient to do at scale.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ryancmoon I use a knife to make dinner. Never made dinner with a gun before. I guess I could try.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ryancmoon no deaths, from what I read.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa @wilshipley @drwave yeah really, the story of America is that each generation does better than the previous. Can it go on forever?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers also a good reason, since threaded is much more complex to display and takes more room.. yes?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dansdata you need to launch the Create a New Human Experiment. The ultimate pet. It's nuts. http://t.co/Om0T3hMJ

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nabeel what's the rate of change on those two numbers, though? That's the real question.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Gryzor drop by! I got a new drum throne..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wolfr_ that's fine if you can deal with 1 extra tap to reveal "mouseover" controls that would be UBER noisy if duplicated on every item

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mikelbring @zackkitzmiller not what I asked. Is there a progress bar or indicator?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@zackkitzmiller that's the video shown in the URL I provided. No progress bar though.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly see, you shoulda gone Bourne. No lady time allocation necessary there. :) Movie is decent, but weirdly tangential to Bourne.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@davidwholland understood, but nothing is truly infinite. Maybe you were deep linked into a list of 2,500 things. Where are you?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@joshm I cannot, for reasons that will become clear on Feb 1 2013.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@joshm I truly thought that system would make sense until I sat down and tried to use it. So much friction and stress.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@balpha I played it, but I was terrible at graphic adventures. No patience.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza @jonskeet I don't think that's actually possible, never seen broken touchscreen interface on any OS.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jonskeet one nice thing about touchscreen: gets us away from perms broken touchpad drivers on pc :(

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jonskeet 1. Use windows key as home button 2. Swipe in from top and sides 3. If using mouse, right click 4. That's it!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@irace @johnolilly excellent thank you!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@twinparent I like to translate that into "I wish someone would punch me in the face right now."

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kesterallen sure email me

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly nobody there tests on an iPad? This has been going on for quite a while now. That's like Twitter level sloppiness.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@evil_trout virtual insanity!!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jordangray This is too long for Twitter. Go have some kids. Figure it out yourself. That's real science. :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jordangray we ALWAYS encounter small girls who are fascinated with our twin babies. Small boys? neeeevvveerrrrrr evveerrrr.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jordangray I'm sure there are statistical outliers, but in general, boys love the pew-pew and girls love the babies. Vice-versa not true.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jordangray do you have children? Male and female? I do. Many of these differences are innate, per observation of reality.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gaberivera what are you, like 12 years old? I like you.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@hmemcpy I can neither confirm nor deny any aspect of what you are insinuating for 2013

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@penartur the "rated" lumens can vary widely. I find that the 9w LED bulbs that are 60w "equivalent" are very close. The 6w ones not close.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@penartur LEDs are more efficient by at least 30%. Also instant on, much longer life, no mercury, etc

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@BONKIT climate here is quite mild, and they are under eaves so no direct rain.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chrisyewchuk yeah, I tried one first before buying three more.. it's surprisingly not far from the 120w halogens. Less spotlight-y.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@textfiles ask me about the time we fed our cats soy milk. Licklicklick.. Lick... Lick... (evil cat stare)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rharpur definitely iPad, for kids software it is not even close

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@b4nn0n you'll find out on Feb 1 2013

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@donpark here is why http://t.co/TUenh9Wc

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Inferis @migueldeicaza that is just crazy cat lady talk

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza dude or lady? congrats. it is really fun to see the other side, as dudes and ladies are SOOOO different, even very early on.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@fazalashfaq @ericnakagawa fortunately, these are girls. So easier than boys until age 13, far enough in the future to avoid thinking of :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza oh yeah one is easy mode. Try three, man.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ericnakagawa it would take two babysitters, for the twins + the toddler. I don't know any that can do all 3 kids at once.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@blowdart all science here mate. IVF.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@photomatt @gaberivera no need! all the cool folks switched back to low-res iPad minis already! :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Greenspeak why do I click these? Why? Why? Oh god whyyyyy

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers gotta download the app to view that website, man!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@westmaaan interesting q, does that happen on a virtual machine too?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake @fromabasement melancholy fame cover is the best thing ever

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@aaronfay Er... That's good?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway GRANDMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@anildash the solution is to have a finely tuned system of not giving a shit

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@asmartbear oh my god this changes everything

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jarrod_dixon @SuperDalgas this is a goldmine, now when anything goes wrong with it you can.. wait for it.. wait for it.. BLAME DALGAS

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@johnolilly interactive, live textbooks. This was something mentioned in a Beagle Brothers demo floppy I loaded in 1983, and it blew my mind

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@OmarShahine and this is news? http://t.co/dyg3P1ZQ

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@sivers well, you can distinguish between random griping and someone proposing at least some fragment of a solution or improvement.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@sivers if everyone was happy, there would be no forward progress. The rebels dissatisfied with the status quo are inventors, visionaries.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ceejayoz @StackExchange massive abuse from EC2 instances. Had to lock the door. Sorry. Try linode, etc.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@linse can you provide URLs to any observed sexism on Stack Overflow? I'd like to have a look, as that would be a moderation error.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Yserbius123 it puts the lotion in the basket

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@fmanjoo correction: children ruin everything.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gknauss there is another way to eat ice cream?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers peace out Tommy. You had a good life.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DrPizza it's also possible to pull that off by asking and answering often, and well.
