@jzy I keep telling you, there could be tanks

@iomegadrive yeah I had to turn off DX11 but other than that, great for me.

@codinghorror
@JulienChastang generalize it to "code color schemes suitable for maximum readability when projected" and try on http://t.co/19vunv7t

@codinghorror
@mboltuc I felt the Odyssey had the best handling and drove the least like a big bulky minivan. Also like the 2011 redesign a lot.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dpiekny this thread, for example, is beyond help http://t.co/XBeGjH1L

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mabster I think they are getting to the point of sending them out still; soon.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ghewgill it is a triumph of "the most obsessive about X always win". Which bodes well for geeks, but not so well for other things.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@henry_maddocks I think there's a point of seriously diminishing returns above 60fps, and people will tell you 30 or 24 is "enough"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dharmesh @joelspolsky cheers -- thank the community with upvotes, not us, they do all the work!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jzy @betsyphd read the Philip Greenspun thing I linked. He covers the SUV vs Minivan stuff definitively http://t.co/Q4O0zrXV

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@deadprogrammer @spolsky well played

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jamuraa they are morons for not doing that years ago, though

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gknauss I believe you are referring to human sexual interactions.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers agreed, I didn't notice it was floating, could be a dealbreaker

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway current consoles are more like 5+ years old, but a 2 or 3 year old PC video card is ancient. Dog years, etc.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@sufferfest oh, no, I want automatic doors big time

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers even worse, they could replace it with the original iMac puck mouse. That he designed. Which sucked.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@brettwhite @roundhoward email is funny that way, isn't it? :D

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa they probably say "ATM Machine", too

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@marr75 not that I know of; unsure if it would be a fit to our engine. Check at http://t.co/IuV3SDEE though

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@donpark is there a {{citation}} for that?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@donpark is this true? http://t.co/4jXKWesV

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jzy i got two words for you: billy crystal.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ArdaXi stv isn't complex, it's the fairest system. Requires software to count, which we provide free

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@higgis don't trample on my right to make bad life choices, you fascist!!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ArdaXi that's like arguing that Checkers and Advanced Squad Leader are the same game..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@splattne that's actually not what was said; I looked it up. http://t.co/DJSbKtY8 "take old work to a new place". This .. does not do that

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@FrozenFire as with all things internal to Wikipedia, that is impossible to find and very difficult to understand when you do.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@FrozenFire I'm not so sure -- is that documented *anywhere*? Can't find any reference to it in Google.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@drylight @nathanbowers @marcoarment I seriously challenge you to show me one way Fruit Ninja is different on Kindle Fire vs "smaller" iPad

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Hatryst it's been done a few.. billion.. times.. already :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jzy well, in the longer term, the idea of a non-interactive book is incorrect. All "books" should be interactive in some way.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jzy @shanselman I find books are the most educational things so far, but I agree that a house full of books SUCKS (seriously, "stuff")

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@shanselman @NathanBowers @marcoarment well, Kindle 1 was originally pretty crap too. Look at Kindle Touch now, it's kinda great.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mstum for one thing the battery is half the size on the base K4. Also no audio. etc. It's just a more flexible device w/touch.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@shanselman @NathanBowers @marcoarment but it *is* a size problem. Want cheaper, higher res, better portability? Make it book sized.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@shanselman @NathanBowers @marcoarment also, my tablets get thrown in frustration (protip: not by me). iPads are deadly projectiles.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jbripley probably MP -> MP is fine.. the load times can be enormous and paying that cost EVERY time is painful..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers @marcoarment and yet, I can buy THREE for the price of ONE iPad. Protip: this is important for people with toddlers

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jbripley I love it, it's great! The only thing I don't like is having to re-launch BF3.exe every time I switch servers, which is slow.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@GraemePerrow @SGgrc it runs Fruit Ninja great, and it's an excellent Amazon Consumption Device, and it has a Webkit mobile browser. $199!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers Engadget review: "great value and perhaps the best, tightest integration of digital content in a mobile device we've yet seen"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@vervestudiosco go to http://t.co/KI3sGqkX and ask there with specifics and URLs

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@_swanand try here http://t.co/swCi1oIo DOUBLE THE PLEASURE

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bwahacker @jzy well, you should never spend $5k on a computer anyway. even $2k is a bit of a stretch these days (later SSD add-in $ is OK)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jzy it's called "envy" for a reason, right? (and actually, the PC industry has sucked at cloning Apple since forever.. kinda sad really)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@anildash all Android devices have the "no way to take a screenshot" issue until the very very latest (2 wks?) release of Android I think.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@davewiner isn't ThinkUp an example, perhaps, of the things you mentioned today on the podcast? http://t.co/0ry3RDaO

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers just like Organic food was touched by hippies, Apple product must be touched by Jony!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers this is not an Apple sanctioned product(tm)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@saambarati @siracusa really? Jobs would mention a quad-core CPU in his product announcements? I think not. Technical detail.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@averyj obviously Dapper, that's what we use

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@netbard it's just a micro-usb connector, so pretty standard.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa I think Jobs himself would tell you that the technical details aren't the important bits. Reality distortion in life and death.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers really? How do I get to a running app with only a single press or tap?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers iPhone does pretty well and its home button sucks balls. (I am constantly double and triple clicking it to do stuff, wrongly)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rossmasters there's not supposed to be

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bhu1st no, this will be edited out if added. There are already accepted answers with visual styles, etc.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers there's also "regular book size"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@andrewmolyneux them considering a smaller iPad is already referenced in the Jobs bio -- give it a read.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers I bet you. iPad is far too large and heavy; I could kill a man with that damn thing. Small and cute wins.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers regular Google+ pages (quoted from O'Reilly or whatever) crash the browser on my iPhone with iOS 5.0

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dnovatchev email the address at the bottom of every web page

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rafek one week might be unrealistic. Take two weeks to get your affairs in order. You're welcome.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NutritionDiva @jedidja @StackHQ ok the question is here http://t.co/UZaoFlha with tags, if you want to answer with citations/research

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@epinardscaramel ask on meta with specifics then

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jedidja @StackHQ @NutritionDiva you should ask a Q about this on the site, I see no results for it http://t.co/UO2uNI8S

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@epinardscaramel and if you have specifics after reading the faq ask on http://t.co/49PcTKXc

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@forty3degrees there is already at least one at http://t.co/tBKc6LsL

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway tweet too long.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@hype8912 also, remember you get +100 rep on all sites once you have +200 on *any* SE network site: http://t.co/3MXCr7Lx

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@hype8912 you can't edit comments; the focus of a Q&A system is Q and A, earn your stripes

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@GoranSiska email team@stackexchange.com with info, usually has to do with Area51 creds vs. site creds

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kn0thing no, haven't quite made it out of the hotel yet.. but today..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kch yes and that search term is pre-filled in the search box if you go to your user page

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@robertpi It's from the movie Better off Dead. Sorry you didn't get the reference, but the image itself is more clear.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@m4rkw the future, it is scary and wonderful

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway computer books belong on the internet, not in a library. Especially true there, but eventually true for all.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@HJanrs I didn't major in either of those

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RealMrPippy @siracusa you REALLY don't want to be tied to the "server" hardware space. It is not where the interesting innovation is.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa it's old server hardware, that's much more common on servers. For a fraction of the price of a Mac Pro of course..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@condredge but this was the same complaint people had when @siracusa was on our podcast; hosts get to talk more, by design

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers @mrgan you're right I am eligible, but .. risk of putting you outside availability when iPhone 5 releases, no?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bassistance contact @mattcutts with specifics -- looks like a valid case to me that Google should look at

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@splattne Apple Computer never took a "don't be evil" oath, man. Although I think the proper oath is "always do good" -- it's ours.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@statichippo yep, corp amex. Get multiple false positives about "fraud" that I have to call in on each one. Real pain in my ass.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley http://t.co/GKTd1KCI is insufficient for your Jedi needs?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@richardstokoe they have yet to be right so far.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@seraph_ben was it here? http://t.co/dBeglXAy

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bbonifield I reopened it. You should answer it.
