@stevieby I'm perplexed why I get 25w idle and that review got 14w idle. It's GOT to be the PSU efficiencies. I might get a pico as well..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@brysonholland sorry, too much abuse from EC2 IPs

@virajm by now it is a very rare thing indeed when I see a new suggestion for something on our network :P

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dcbriccetti @mattwallace @deanwampler @dcsobral so egregious nobody has mentioned it to me in 2 1/2 years.. just sayin'..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@virajm uhhh.. have you ever been to http://meta.stackoverflow.com ? Might be a few days' worth of reading for you there..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dcbriccetti @mattwallace @deanwampler @dcsobral I told you guys to ask on http://english.stackexchange.com but NOOOO

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dwf did you read the article? The guy in the article got 14.5w. But he used a special PSU, and I have 3 HDDs attached to my HTPC

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@virajm yeah, when somebody gets 500 upvotes for "funniest programming cartoon", that is not the intent of the rep system

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@virajm you should also read http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/09/good-subjective-bad-subjective/ and get back to me when you've read it

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@virajm did you read the faq? They are for very different things: http://stackoverflow.com/faq http://programmers.stackexchange.com/faq

@codinghorror
@timoreilly @petewooten never assume malice when incompetence will suffice

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nrhinkle very cool! Of course we design for 1024px fixed width, but this is a neat hack

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente wait, this means I'd be trapped with a toddler. Scratch that, reverse it.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente solution: don't leave the house. Works for me.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@evilbachus we're not in a contract with Apple, last time I checked

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley you better wake up Shipley! the MAN is keeping you DOWN, man!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley in fact, I explicitly ALLOW Apple nda-breaks on our sites because I think Apple's NDA policies are bullshit

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley nobody gives a shit about your NDA, man

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@averyj gave up on Big Love and Weeds as "started promising, but too crappy over time"

@codinghorror
@drylight and all thanks to Google, too!

@codinghorror
@OmarShahine windows security essentials? UAC enabled? WTF?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@OmarShahine what version of Windows are they on? Hopefully 7. Make it so.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@edbott an Android.. what? phone? tablet? spaceship?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@edoloughlin very strange. not me.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mrdenny Remus is great! Big fan. You're not too bad either, but c'mon.. you're no Remus. :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@joshpuetz very interesting, I'll look into that

@hugorodgerbrown it's a SE 1.0 site, see http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/04/changes-to-stack-exchange/

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mattthr I think we have learned how to do it: http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/09/good-subjective-bad-subjective/

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@fbdegroot errrr our mail is hosted through GMail! That makes no sense!

@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza more ipad2s

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NickFitz yeah, well, "the spec" doesn't mean "do the dumbest, most annoying *but not technically illegal* things you can", either.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@sgblank I loved Rocket Jockey, for what it's worth. Buggy yes, but also a great game ahead of its time.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Gryzor I think we're testing the waters with the biggest site first, but that's definitely the long-term intention...

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@neddyy so edit them instead http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/02/suggested-edits-and-edit-review/

@timheuer I think it's because the controls on the guitar can't work due to control licensing issues (you have to use the adapter buttons)

Jeff Atwood

@codinghorror
@NathanBowers @asymco mmm, not really -- the 1.83 Core 2 Duo is probably 4x-10x faster.. but uses 50x more power.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers @jzy [citation needed]

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers yeah but only for artificial reasons, e.g. Apple is blocking pre-orders

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DanDiplo nah, we did that before, and not enough tag wikis were updated. The first page of tags *defines your site*.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Teh_kLeV just focus on (tell us) what you WANT to appear there -- we prefer to build it better than before. http://goo.gl/kyWl

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Teh_kLeV not that I'm bitter about the HUNDREDS of meta posts complaining about the envelope. or anything. (DIEEEEEEEE ENVELOPE!)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Teh_kLeV life is an experiment. so go live it. as I said, we're actively working on it, this is just the first "DIE FUCKING ENVELOPE" pass

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Teh_kLeV that said it is still very much WIP, we're looking at ways to make it better, so perhaps try that hat on for size

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Teh_kLeV you are a cranky, cranky man

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Teh_kLeV are you kidding me? need I point to the HUNDRED+ meta posts about how screwed up the envelope is?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@timbray was XML ever *really* human readable, though?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa confession: I don't "get" instapaper. At all.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@edbott @willsmith that's the fundamental design ethos of http://stackexchange.com/sites -- let your freak flag fly!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gripusa see http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/08/a-recipe-to-promote-your-site/ (it's not necessary for our big sites though)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rshade they are very delicious! that's the secret!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cgiffard IMO the MacBook Air is the smartest model

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tooshel that site is not likely to survive much longer, FYI

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@DaveJustDave I'll be happy to suggest you as a pro-tem moderator candidate as well

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tnorthcutt there could be -- what did you have in mind.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gummadi we are replacing network cards based on http://blog.serverfault.com/post/broadcom-die-mutha/

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers @jzy my father cares deeply about this. (This is my new "nah, I'm not that into Pokemon")

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@PaulLomax also I assume you are aware of http://goo.gl/wL4Rr ? In private beta for ~5 more days, then public beta

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@PaulLomax excellent! will you be there? email me at team@stackexchange.com and I'll hook you up with t-shirts / stickers for

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers @wilshipley what a coincidence; that's EXACTLY why Wil Shipley and I got into programming!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley I'm more offended that Penny Arcade is so rarely funny

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@fernandezpablo that's a very basic check -- remove the word "your"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers @fredwilson that's odd, because I keep getting nagged to "log into GameCenter" and "log into OpenFeint". It don't work.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@juristr it's a legacy SE 1.0 site, see http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/04/changes-to-stack-exchange/

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers totally agreed and that is specifically covered in the article

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake I don't know about lovely. Clever, yes, artsy, yes, but horrific from a usability standpoint.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@adityamenon90 excellent! now if we could get rid of those pernicious "thanks!" too :) http://goo.gl/ujByU

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@joelhousman @dsilverman I didn't. iPad v2 is far more recommendable though. Kindle 3 for reading counts as insanely high res -- beautiful

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@helloandre well, that one was well asked at least and using complete sentences. But yes: http://goo.gl/4PGLL

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@CarterA no, but presumably the upvotes will reflect the community's thoughts on the matter

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mitalbr check http://stackapps.com in the android tag

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@williamjhall thanks for the report, I think we have seen them before; we follow up per http://goo.gl/00kW

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@averyj do you have a hotel room to go with it? then maybe

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jemfinch we only do http://area51.stackexchange.com/faq

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza better yet, make it attach to your Facebooks page and start writing to your wall!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@pablogl weight, resolution are the big ones. I can recommend iPad 2 now that camera, cpu, memory fixed.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@adampash well not quite. I think buying the iPad 1 was a dumb idea. This one isn't dumb to buy, I can recommend it.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers yeah, if they made it *too* small, it'd only fit in your pocket and .. hey, wait a second..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente or, they could make it smaller which would also increase res AND solve the weight problem. shrug.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jdmullin already exists! Try http://codereview.stackexchange.com

@TetradTX wear all the t-shirts at once and rip them off dramatically as you swag people!
