@timbray I hope it's OK, I used your tweet as an example here: http://goo.gl/r999C <3

@Olipro usually I destroyed so many of the army attacks that they stop coming. Late game you get really powerful..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@TechBASV thank you very much! we might take you up on that. And Wed 7pm is a workable time?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@semanticseed thanks! we need a location in Silicon Valley proper(ish) that can work for 50 geeks 7pm April 6th.. ?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jarrod_dixon .. TO YOUR HOVEL!

@codinghorror
@schwa to be fair, if it was up to the users every question would be "favorite programming cartoon". There is a balance. I'm just sayin'

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@schwa it can be, but if there is a clear pattern, why deviate from the pattern? Particularly since these questions can be contentious

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@schwa just standardizing on a nomenclature for questions of this type, see for yourself: http://stackoverflow.com/tags/hidden-features

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@schwa the "hidden features" questions are accepted per previous meta discussion, and this makes that clear. It is the same thing.

@robconery we are pinching your head! we are crushing your head! http://code.google.com/p/dapper-dot-net/

@codinghorror
@jonathancoulton @tmbg you pretty much broke their idea just now, whatever it was

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@AntiFreeze @CitizenSpace @semanticseed @missrogue er wait, is this space in Silicon Valley? there's already a SF meetup with a venue.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@AntiFreeze @CitizenSpace @semanticseed @missrogue awesome, if the space is available Wed at 7pm, I'd love to book it: http://goo.gl/v5mMu

@dorkitude I think your javascript is out of date perhaps? did you ctrl+f5 hard refresh?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@markuskobler actually, you can search for some GUIDs in very early SO posts -- almost nobody is actually posting those

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@MehrdadA are there ever NOT stickers? :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@7WP takes 50 rep to comment. Flag such "answers"..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@reedolsen me too! but we're still securing a venue.. :( http://twitter.com/#!/codinghorror/status/54739165237084160

@waxpancake defining "creative" as "destroying video to make it work" means they've won. Mirroring the video seems to work, but audio..

@codinghorror
@NathanBowers ironically embossing is designers' misguided ghetto attempt at font sharpening. Cuz they're too bold on Mac..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers you know, if we all had 400 DPI displays, this would all be moot. That's the real problem.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers just the sloppy ones. But interestingly, the hardware rendering paths in Firefox 4 seem to negate embossing.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@counternotions openness means something on general purpose PCs, but on phones and "devices" (Xbox, Kindle, etc), not so much.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@counternotions well, I believe phones are a fundamentally closed ecosystem and work best that way, hence play massively to Apple strengths

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@counternotions you're reinforcing all my negative stereotypes of pretentious Apple users, man! :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley how will Apple have plausible deniability that your feedback actually matters in that case? Don't be silly!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley Mini Shipley! p.s. DORK

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jwz regardless: big fan, love the club, love your work, and thank you for responding!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jwz it's your jam, but I'd recommend turning comments off. Someone of your stature advocating, even indirectly, a facebook-only web: scary

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jwz I'm in no way saying boycott Facebook, I'm saying "Facebook and.. {twitter and openid}". Isn't the web about, er, openness?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mgspross well, the leagues are limited to users with 200+ rep to start: http://goo.gl/K6EpC

@anildash compuserve + modems, user group disk swaps.. computing has always been social, just at a slower pace and less *obviously* so.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@drylight using Macs makes one accustomed to all bold fonts as the norm.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers I don't, actually.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@shoeblogger you are quite welcome! I did it for the shoes! Oh and maybe a little for the @betsyphd

@NathanBowers @mrgan @jzy I use eBay all the time for buying and selling... Do you? In my experience, it's a VERY accurate value calculator.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers @mrgan @jzy eBay is a far more accurate measure of fair market. The other numbers are IMNSHO bullshit.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@splattne blu-ray doesn't seem too healthy to me as a format, either

@jonskeet @samsaffron added server-side draft saving every 45 seconds a while ago, glad to hear it's working!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley OF COURSE DUH. That was right as I was leaving the apple scene though. Captain Midnight!

@wilshipley what are you buying? YOUR POKEMANS, SHOW US THEM!

@jeef3 meh, I like to play games, I like to alt+tab over and look stuff up on wikipedia, also server GUI stuff.

@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza we like anti-social coding

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@growse oh you could easily do passive. Well, one very low speed fan. "Pure" passive is a bit of fool's gold IMHO .. way too hard.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza @marcgravell he's just being nice. YOUR CODE NOT ENTERPRISE SCALE!@!!@!!1! :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@growse the i3 is incredibly powerful relative to everything else in its watt class. You can go lower watts, but less grunt.

@lloeki the remote handles up/down/left/right 10 foot navigation.. the keyboard + mouse combo is for "everything else"

@NathanBowers He should be next in line for succession when Jobs passes. I'm not actually joking, either.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers he should get the Nobel fuckin' Prize

@coltfred that's the beauty of the configuration on my blog: it does everything well. I have 2.5 tb of laptop hdds in mine!
