@scottwasson still not as dim as I would like at lowest brightness, but acceptable. http://t.co/uj3Qoi3J

@fmanjoo @betsyphd and I only communicate through Twitter. Problem solved!

@deadprogrammer no, two headed hammer is better

@asmartbear @berkun I'm thinking "horseshit."

@rfistman not as much, no. I still recommend a quality power strip with surge protection though.

@sdarlington email @hyperink with details and they will fix!

@bastian_stein wow, glad to hear it was useful!

@jzy @Loh hogrammer

@jzy you really could not see that coming? disappoint.

@bates_thomas http://t.co/QgU1OpGO

@anildash fuck that shit, make the bird point upward

@BrentO AND THEN I AM EVEN MORE PISSED OFF!!

@nabeel @far33d @virginamerica when I last flew SFO to Boston wifi was abysmal, unusuable, worse than Edge (!). Both ways.

@kevindente @jzy he .. supervises.

@kevindente @jzy pff, mostly bs? all bs. :)

@mike_greenfield Sure, but fair wairning, I don't get out of bed for less than $10k/day.

@seesharp ARE YOU THE BATMAN

@TheEvanCarroll as the announcer in Smash T.V. once said, "Good luck! You're gonna need it!"

@betsyphd @jasonHoyt see the view counter in the right column of every Q. It 's very conservative, multiply by 2-3 to get closer to actual.

@emalamisura also, always give people logo icons to click. don't make them type URLs. Major finding from OpenID: identity = email. period.

@emalamisura I thought I replied there? Basically, demand email as part of the OpenID auth and refuse if you don't get it. Sync w/that.

@kevinmontrose get a few 4gb USB keys to have around. They are the new DVDs!

@originaldrofmij now imagine if all prisoners were armed “for their protection”. Safety first!

@sedictor that is awesome, did it come in pieces shipped in different boxes?

@miniharryc1978 is that live now? Is it online?

@kevindente @dozba I can think of a few. http://t.co/0bKKIdoo

@HitokiriEric seems unlikely. building bomb takes skill, time, knowledge. Compare with readymade point n' click of gun and ammo.

@pjcooke website is down?

@textfiles http://t.co/Huu5zLqG

@textfiles nice! I will add that info to meta.stackoverflow for community reference

@kwiens it would be sooo funny if he had an it's in there in the wrong place

@textfiles like they say at the bar at closing time, "you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here"

@textfiles can't be on the site proper. Just like the frat house isn't in the middle of the classrooms.

@fmanjoo "Define irony." http://t.co/XvRzeCDH

@RockBand headbanging gets you jobs, man! http://t.co/P5yOelq4

@JasonPunyon meow. meow. meow.

@scottwasson no led equivalent? There are some really blinding LEDs now

@wilshipley lesson: do not buy aquantive for $6 billion.

@freddier @kuryaki http://t.co/zCmsswsg

@cshirky for extra fun times, try explaining the need for SSH keys when using GitHub. For geeks it's great. A disaster for everyone else.

@cshirky I have some very deep reservations about this, because most *programmers* don't understand source control. Much less normals.

@anildash batdancin'

@mdgale yes, but you should I know that I only sign on the front of devices, in permanent marker.

@kevindente @betsyphd the solution is to move away

@tooshel isn't that specific to Verizon? No carriers on a WiFi device, remember?

@bijan it's not far off: 216 PPI vs 264 PPI. I find the sometimes-awful font rendering is more of an issue in Android 4.1.

@tooshel I buy based on ios updates. I trust Google on their official hardware and Nexus phone history proves it.

@Skyzyx it's because I have seen the rapid progress of the last 3 versions that I say it at all

@virtualandy @devnulled a couple miles, easy, provided there are reasonable sidewalks and not all uphill

@wilshipley maybe. apparently in Korea they pay for complexity. http://t.co/kwBqiIgE

@Lee_Holmes https://t.co/9C3gN9ZG

@abbytmiller it's like religion with even less basis in reality. Jesus with pew-pew. Mostly, a bad map to an engine that encourages science.

@ruby I remember there was a black-and-white Mac.. M.C. Hammer.. a fuzzy S-shaped couch/bed thing..

@timbray http://t.co/CwilDC6s

@OmarShahine hold down the Volume Down button and Power button

@MrAlanCooper you need more homo logicus, man!!

@sriramk this is the best thing I've read in months. If I controlled the world, YOU would be the new CEO of Yahoo.

@NathanBowers it's actually dramatically better than the Fire. It's just unnecessarily confusing at bootup, which is the worst possible time

@NathanBowers Unix-based systems are awesome.

@WilburSullivan STUFF

@kevinmontrose are you developing superpowers?

@scottwasson imma check it, building server now

@scottwasson hmm? I tried holding down each of the buttons for extended periods of time and saw no change in brightness.. do you?

@thijs @NathanBowers I do not find it "easier" when I double-tap to get past hover events that are my way on my iPad.

@thijs @NathanBowers I don't like mindlessly converting single-tap actions into double-taps. That's how Mobile Safari handles it by default

@NathanBowers I added some screenshots to that post. Yeah, I hate repeated elements on the page. A lot.

@kwiens @alexismadrigal sure, that's why I've always said to take the path that scares you a little. If it's not scary, it's not interesting

@jterrace @codinghorror no, it is not. Brightness is fundamental. Can't read when you're STARING INTO THE EFFING SUN

@dcurtis I appreciate the invite, but I kinda got my own thing going on. :) I do really like the design aesthetics of your engine, though.

@Greenspeak maybe if you had exercised more those truck drivers would have whistled at you and not that other stupid girl.

@MarkLittlewood not motivating enough.

@waxpancake well, I kinda blame her for opportunity lost, to work on something that had a chance with that time.

@michaelpryor how awesome would that be, though?

@fmanjoo have you tried to make a good-faith effort to use Google Docs? I have. Docs is like notepad.exe next to Word et al

@scottwasson well, with three of them firing at me, I don't like being blind. :) Most panels are ABSURDLY bright from the factory.

@NathanBowers not radical enough. You don't need friends. You just need interests. The friends will follow as needed.

@scottwasson 5-7% sounds tolerable, but I run my panels at 25% bright. Can't get even close to that. (I re-ordered ones with brightness ctl)

@nabeel disagree. Digg turned against its community, the very thing that made it what it was.

@averyj @kevinmontrose yes, I can repro that. I tried "I suspect you're asking for actual AMIs" and does not happen.

@averyj well, if you have to do that kind of "testing" at all. You're failing. That "data" is worthless. @kevinmontrose

@averyj I don't have a Quora account, and never will. Also I tested in two different browsers.

@averyj I can't repro that by searching for phrases on that page. They've played with a number of obscuring-to-force-signup techniques.

@JasonPunyon the SE community is progressively getting "more selective" in questions it'll allow, yet Joel always fights it. Quality, baby.

@Carnage4Life @ckindel this also means that devices without the "jesus handle" exit button (Fire, Nexus Tablet) don't work.

@splattne of course but I had forgotten about http://t.co/XucixOQE

@NathanBowers do you remember the queen was super sexy in Battle Chess?

@funkatron @kennethreitz well, watching Ratatouille now, I'm reminded of advice about eating trash. You can't cook decent meals that way.

@scottwasson well, if you'll give http://t.co/enLinSau a shout-out in your review, I can ship you one of mine (still in box unopened)

@Iron_Sean @scottwasson I see two buttons with (korean text) (minus sign). Neither does anything when I press them, or hold them down.

@scottwasson which model did you get? I'll just resell these.

@scottwasson FSM-270YG. I didn't need or want an OSD. I just expected backlight control and power. I got one of those at least..

@scottwasson it never even occurred to me that a LCD could ship without hardware backlight control :( Only button that works is power.

@tmertz Sure, here you go http://t.co/7xGGi5av

@siracusa I was thinking the other day, what if our grandparents had been on Facebook? How will grandchildren look back on our tweets?

@NathanBowers it's much more biz oriented, and not indie/hip. E.g. lots of boring consumer and small biz stuff. Downside is aesthetics.

@NathanBowers don't you think it would be easier for people to upload photos and have them processed on the server? Or process flickr!

@rands "it is unclear when the building will open, if ever" wow. I'd heard about this, but hadn't read all the details.

@mdgale lol we say that all the time. From the Dave Chappelle skit. Beyond classic.

@fmanjoo I really liked Towers n' Trolls a lot. But I am a sucker for tower defense. World of Goo is a must if you haven't.

@marcoarment still needs controller option, though, IMHO. Part of the reason it's better is bigger screen so touch isn't obscuring as much
