@Borror0 this is why we need french.stackexchange.com to clear up important misconceptions like so! :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@steveify you're 3 browser versions behind there :) works in FF6.

@roadler sometimes I go too far, but then, what is humor without fear?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@roadler how about "We Absolutely Don't Molest Children?"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tomcoates @rands like Yahoo Answers, but dumber.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway your jokes are too obscure. Show a video of a guy getting hit in the nuts by a football.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente I wouldn't go quite that far

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley pff, real men only fight to the death over abstract, irrelevant concepts. For great justice.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa reading is fundamental, and shit

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JamesMcNellis every time someone says that, I increase it by one second. For the lulz.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@_AndrewRussell it depends, as some experts have more tolerance for it than others.. what are you referring to specifically?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jzy @jongalloway I guess most kid websites run flash, which means they are useless on iPad

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rsms can you elaborate in an answer there? no registration required.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers nope, just software. (and seriously, who started this crap software is everything meme? horrible.)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gknauss in his defense, you had it coming.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@secretGeek better than ctrl+shift+i in Chrome?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@anildash remember, anything from "Dirty Mind" is also an acceptable lullaby.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@lunarobverse it's at least a 3 year catchup period, that's how big the head start was

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@marcoarment @siracusa naw, the from-scratch bespoke OS part is important. Bespoke. Too much fear of bespoke in the industry.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@marcoarment @siracusa I didn't say it *would* happen, just that Apple had a pretty huge multi-year headstart on *everyone*

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa I'd also argue that android sucked WAY more as a phone and started later. So they have more catching up to do.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jeroldhaas no money in it, same reason as always.. vast majority don't care

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JBrodkin PISTOLS AT DAWN SIR!

@migueldeicaza oooh them is fightin words. I challenge you to a duel of fonts and sample strings at dawn.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nberardi you can follow the links back from here to see the questions (first chat msg is the Q) http://t.co/suu1jzP

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nberardi we already have the "get a room" feature, see here: http://t.co/QFF4G6E

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@stoinov lol the font, that's hilarious

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mstum its the first shooter I've ever played where the geometry of the map is so fluid. Big big deal. And it WORKS!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mstum meh, that's not true. For example in BF:BC2 the destructible buildings walls and trees make the map different every time

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tzuptzup you have one of those set as an ignored tag and hide pref on

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mathowie and, you should guest on the Stack Exchange podcast! Would love to have you.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mathowie also thanks a million for http://t.co/Ovm6owZ we internalized the hell out of that at Stack Exchange!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mathowie no worries; common issue but not sure how to deal with it and still allow anon "signups"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@portman_wills wait, don't iPads get to count in my iOS count?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mathowie merged! (the 'correct' answer is to hold the cookie and click the "register" link, but merging is fine too..)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@portman_wills what was our bet? I don't remember...

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rrinaldi this specific one is "Hashtable insert failed. Load factor too high." Requires special .NET 4 hotfix.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevinmontrose easy, assume everything you do is a mistake. Problem solved.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
Wondering if I should write a tweet. "Why does @shanselman wonder the things he wonders?"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chris_mahan I don't think that's universally true. And what she said was more nuanced than that; *loyalty* comes from that. Different.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jzy print out the backup codes, carry in man-purse

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@hotdogsladies I just have a regular trash can. Should I head to Staples?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente there's spongebob DLC

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jeffl8n interesting, hadn't seen that before. Does not appear to be many other places?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jeffl8n hmm, can't repro that.. screenshot?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@samsaffron let's pretend we use Ruby and come up with some bullshit hipster name. How about Gonzales

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rory_blyth it's like that iPhone game, man, you gotta Cut The Rope

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@anildash I'm saying if both DID exist, hypothetically, what would you say the difference was, if any? Humor me.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@anildash pray tell, kind sir, the distinction between upvote and favorite in your mind.. if any

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mrdenny so long as they're interesting, sure :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mrdenny I love you man, but we gotta get your Twitter post discipline under control :p

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevinmontrose STAND CLEAR OF THE CL.. ah, fuck it

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@buildstarted oh yeah, invalid.. Bing has not implemented the anti-scraper stuff that Google has. Report it via their report link on page.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@buildstarted sample queries? clickable email link is at bottom of every page we serve...

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers I approve of these activities

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@hype8912 try it yourself, sir

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@shanselman @mkristensen ok, that's fine then.. just confirming. Keep running into people who THINK they have optimized pngs but haven't.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mkristensen @shanselman sigh, more tools that are inferior to pngout. Try it yourself and see.. http://t.co/9Nj3Pyd

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@daiconrad it doubles the entropy of the first example, which he said had poor entropy. But he's assuming godlike knowledge of the details.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ArdaXi at minimum, more bits of entropy are missing -- troubador vs troubadour vs troubad0ur vs. troubad0r

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@leedm777 that seemed to be for the 0/o

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@lazugod marilyn monroe maybe?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@chrissie1 @marcgravell no repro -- I can log in fine using my Yahoo OpenID

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley why would you want LCD panel scaling (crappy) instead of video card scaling (awesome)?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley well yeah, compared to Jenna Jameson, your mom isn't a total whore, either.

Jeff Atwood

@codinghorror
@mrbendig oauth 1.0a is a steaming pile of shit is the short version. The long version is Facebook has Oauth 2.0

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@lizardbill there is a SU one, but it's not linked in the directory yet.. working on it.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake I think I'm more of a Dead Island and Just Cause 2 kind of guy. I want Myst with a meat-axe.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers not pulling it off

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@xonial not at the moment, still being built...

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Apey never fear, you'll be able to hang out again in ~4 years. Think of it as going away to college. With no time off.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa you are missing a #firstworldproblems there

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@parsingphase your words can be so hurtful

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

@gcsf your Stack Exchange feature just went live. Do you know what it is? #likeaboss

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@splattne I dream of the day @rockhardawesome can do ANYTHING for more than a few minutes...

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers breakouuuuuut

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bozo_nightmare oh that feeling is far worse for SSDs which are like ticking time-bomb :) http://t.co/DTo5gDJ

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bozo_nightmare by this logic, cordless mice and keyboards should not exist either :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@haacked I want to delete this tweet from the internet.

@jzy @NathanBowers NO DO NOT PROVIDE ANSWER! WE DO NOT REWARD FAILURE!

@marcoarment @gruber it wasn't the syntax that was an issue.. it was lack of leadership http://t.co/IF17gBP
