@Papihenry winner, going with that.. the new model is 2x the price.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@aloncarmel do it now or you're fired! :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@deadprogrammer that's funny because @spolsky and I have a little catchphrase -- "let's do random bizdev!"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@davehunt82 see http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/09/factionalism-site-or-tag/ ; Selenium is 100% on-topic at SO

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jonskeet you are clearly playing right into their dastardly plan!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@AutomatedTester @borland @davehunt82 I will simply refer to http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/09/factionalism-site-or-tag/ again

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers now you're just making shit up. Did Jony put you up to this?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley sucked. JUST KIDDING IT WAS GREAT!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@davehunt82 @AutomatedTester it's still testing. Merge or die. http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/09/factionalism-site-or-tag/

@codinghorror
@NathanBowers @fredwilson Apple's insistence on form over function is particularly dumb w/r/t batteries. Wife's iPhone 4 already degraded.

@marcoarment @siracusa you need to read that post where OFFICIAL INTEL REPS are telling enterprises to buy their MLC products. Just sayin'

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@marcoarment this is covered canonically in http://goo.gl/66eSl ; see last edit to my answer (#2 by vote sort)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers only true when one's goal is to become a pretentious ass. Moleskines ahoy!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers @jrordonez also, girls are really bad at math

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers rediculous..LY AWESOME

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@seesharp click the time in the web ui where it says "30 minutes ago" etc.. that's the permalink

@codinghorror
@jarrod_dixon the zone named Anus, France?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@drylight well presumably if Apple is featuring it on their site with a dedicated landing page it can't be THAT crap.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers wake me up when Google *isn't* 90% of our traffic. kthxbye.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@vbullinger wait maybe I'm not clear. Can you post specifics with screenshots on http://meta.stackoverflow.com (that is HQ)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@vbullinger um, it's the exact same engine running the exact same code. The only difference is the underlying database.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente oh there's tons of those. This is not even remotely new.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jkottke not sure that's been proposed on http://area51.stackexchange.com yet as an actual *site*, but go for it :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@edbott programmers are infuriatingly libertarian, to the point of absurdity, and long after it stops making any sese. just FYI.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@richcampbell the next 8 hours should be used wisely.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@adampash congrats! (p.s. suck it Gizmodo!!1!one)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@hotdogsladies it's like a double scoop of pretentious ass, with rich, chocolately elitist topping and hipster jimmies.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@snuff_man I know you're kidding, but the people don't want what they think they want. Be careful what you ask for. You'll get it.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers @jongalloway a netbook for each caller you mean!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway WHOA WHOA WHOA.. does it support Windows 7.. service pack 1?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@6T9 @joshsunshine what? good questions reflect well on the person who asked them. The opposite, well.. you see where this is going

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@6T9 @joshsunshine It's very simple: there is such a thing as a stupid question. And the inverse of that is true, too.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@onaclov2000 nice. we're thinking of adding a reminder <div> when people with > 15 rep arrive through web search..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@drixie see http://stackapps.com and download the appropriate app for your device. thanks.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa I DO NOT CARE FOR YOUR TONE!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@darkuncle I would say it is very mean spirited in tone. It is not wrong, just like telling someone their child is ugly is not "wrong".

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@egwor cue bots "pushing" that button over and over.. or just regular users to game the system

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jacksonh both ends of plane need to allow people to enter. Anything else isn't going to work. GO DUAL CORE MAN

@lara_eagle @jzy lol gravatar change! THE EYES GO UP HERE BOYS!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ftrain or porn for that matter.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@joshsunshine those are very high thresholds; try > 3 and 0. I see 22% of bad questions (-1) getting answers of +4 or more

@codinghorror
@joshsunshine do you vote up the parent reddit link every time you vote up a reddit comment on said link? They're very different things.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@hmkern99 letting the children outnumber you is madness

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nrhinkle @ivoflipse5 CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@manuelkiessling meh, answers are the real unit of work in any Q&A system. also see http://stackoverflow.com/badges/95/reversal

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@thephpdeveloper @clingermangw @spolsky all I see is a login wall I can't get past, but I appreciate the sentiment.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@riledhel there's almost no relationship between quality of answer and quality of question. see http://stackoverflow.com/badges/95/reversal

@RonKMyers I want to solve 1 specific problem at this time, reminding registered users with >=15 rep to vote when arriving via web search

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RonKMyers I was thinking about that too, but only for accounts that have >= 15 rep (the upvote priv). Your idea?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@benpop 15 rep is necessary to upvote anything. Pay it forward, man! :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@SuperDalgas TURN RIGHT AT THE SLOT MACHINES!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bsimser we didn't pull across all the content yet for a variety of reasons, but we will pull more across later

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@maciejmalecki I am favoriting this for future reference, thank you sir!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jarrod_dixon @jzy TOUCH THE RAVEN LOCKS! TOUCH THEM!

@codinghorror
@limacohen flagging requires 15 rep. but I absolutely appreciate the sentiment!

@jongalloway (begins repainting all the tables in a different color)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway @robconery this was a health measure to protect your sanity

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@KushalP did you clear your browser cache?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JohnKaster no, are you offering? we have an API! http://stackapps.com

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers @jongalloway surely a disposable pre-paid Android handset is the ticket here?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers it doesn't sound THAT bad, actually, but only $25 less? who is that cheap?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers @lazycoder lame. Should be like 1/2 price if there are going to be forced ads. Though it's screensaver-only?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@seesharp OMG I remember her from the "are you gonna go my way" video, actually. That hair.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLhpHjmxNw8

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@seesharp I believe she is the "Black Magic" woman

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tinkertim I don't actually care as long as the flags stop, that's my main motivation. Don't generate work for us.

@codinghorror
@aronchick try http://t.co/6VwnpBi in the ruby room

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jonskeet it's the whole network

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@maciejmalecki sort of, but with a flat, single pane view; the larger topics open up into the subtopics like russian nesting dolls

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@maciejmalecki I was thinking something like that, but with a "twitter-length" explanation for each faq section and then it expands to full

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@maciejmalecki awesome. Just know that the universe is counting on you.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@maciejmalecki definitely would like to see a link on that

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ip2k fantastic! "pay it forward" by helping out and answering another fellow programmer's question; that's how we advance the craft!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers third link for me when I type "ESR" into google and presS Enter..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@VolkerGoebbels still, without iTunes, every iPad is a brick out of the box.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@davidhfe @nathanbowers real job = "communicating with other human beings in writing" ain't such a stretch my friend

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@annietown @NathanBowers I'm bitter about iPad because it is a fundamentally a consumption device, tied to iTunes, a brick without it.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers first, you tell it to every writer, ever. And anyone who has to get a real job.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers the only work worth doing is about typing IMHO. Can't have communication without typing.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers @kevindente if your job is so easy you can do it with an iPad, I envy you. It's the Homer Simpson dippin' bird of PCs.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente yeah, nobody has an iPad. It's really unique.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente turn in your geek card, grandpa
