@rexm btw I cleaned up this post and left your very thoughtful response, thank you for that http://goo.gl/rBvgH

@NathanBowers yeah their openid UI was basically "TYPE IN URL". are you shocked that only 1% of users opted in to that experience?

@NathanBowers and once you get past that to Identity = Email it's actually not bad, if you polish the implementation

@anildash seriously how awesome would it be if Kanye ran Yahoo!

@timbray intel is one of the most evil tech companies ever, and has been for a long, log time. More evidence!

@TALlama OpenID delegation is the best way there IMO; self-hosting is of course supported but I think delegation is saner

@jzy get a PC

@wendykloiber no, not at all! Just wanted your input on it.

@wendykloiber check out http://writers.stackexchange.com/ for focused Q&A on becoming a better writer.

@oxo42 hey, thanks! you're already donating the most valuable thing of all -- your time. Help us by helping your peers learn.

@thezeist oh yeah, we need 3ghz quad core CPUs to recreate photoshop running in JavaScript in a browser, too. Ain't it grand?

@georgemcintosh I'm going to have to see some Google Analytics screenshots or something.. this is too incredible to be true

@georgemcintosh seriously NINETY PERCENT of your traffic at showbiz.sky.com is from IE6? *SERIOUSLY*? I do not believe

@georgemcintosh wow 90% of your traffic is IE6? What's the website?

@jimcorreia yep, provided you give valid email -- you can "forgot my account" to get a cookie instantiating email. And you get rep.

@jimcorreia how is it mandatory? You can ask and answer (and soon, edit) as 100% anonymous Tor browsing user.

@eschaton you can, just not more than 2 at once

@NathanBowers @dhh it's a whole different world for paying customers. see: http://twitter.com/#!/mathowie/status/29661267178291200

@henry_maddocks the beatings will continue until happiness is restored

@zorn merged into http://stackoverflow.com/users/69771/zorn you have two forms of ID in your wallet.. myopenid and gmail

@Encosia email is required for old school "sign up for this site with an email and a password" websites though. you don't log in with URL.

@dhh it is also my strong opinion that EMAIL = IDENTITY is why Facebook is rolling out email. How do you "log in" with a facebook page?

@dhh we're seeing a good fit across the network http://stackexchange.com/sites but this is really key: EMAIL = IDENTITY. We've adapted that.

@secretGeek you drove WebHost4Life out of your life? You monster.

@dhh that is a bummer, but thanks for being one of the first to support OpenID and for so long! we have 500k users happily on OpenIDs.

@GABeech I think it's only hard because we're being raped on SSD pricing. We need to go back to the well.

@Carnage4Life no need, Facebook's OAuth 2.0 support is the best in the industry

@dandax see http://goo.gl/JVlHg and http://goo.gl/rYnFY

@jasonrikard rest assured, beatings have been issued to the appropriate responsible parties

@NathanBowers I find most Quora pages unreadable, dense masses of tiny text.. filled with "my opinions, let me show you them." shrug.

@NathanBowers @kevindente nah, it's just opinion. We do why as well, but why based on something other than "cuz I'm important"

@kovshenin you can, because Stack Overflow helps you become more awesome, and more awesome = more salary :)

@anildash solution: pro joyless scolding teams. everyone wins. Well, except for everyone.

@mattcutts @timbray at least try Just Cause 2.. it's a moral imperative http://goo.gl/KP4Pc (it was also Yahtzee's GOTY!)

@jzy tl;dr

@gummadi you have to spell Joel's name correctly for it to work :)

@NickFitz see http://goo.gl/jYjbp and http://goo.gl/j65bz

@mattcutts I SUPPORT THESE ACTIVITIES

@robgomes that got voted down to NEGATIVE SEVENTY THREE and mod deleted, so I think.. er.. justice was served.. :P

@_dcd it does, this user is going out of his way to circumvent it

@andr shipping internationally is a huge PITA

@cabbey http://stackexchange.com/sites

@DaveJustDave eh? what have you asked on SF that isn't getting answered? You want the RIGHT people answering, not facebook friends.

@ejel ahh, my apologies, can you help us troubleshoot DNS by reading this and switching back to test? http://goo.gl/8zTjk

@donpark well, until Facebook Questions comes out of perma-beta, I guess http://facebook.com/questions/

@kevindente already deleted a while ago..

@NathanBowers what's there to drink about? in your case, the baby eventually *leaves*.

@cabbey so ask on http://webapps.stackexchange.com/faq

@cabbey http://superuser.com/faq

@halostatue @bwahacker newegg.com does not even sell 8 GB DDR3 sticks.. that I can find, anyway.

@bearflash no problems so far on 2 diff machines...

@gcsf @jzy oh, yes you did. YES YOU DID

@dehora @enewc how is "crafty" a bad thing? Craftsmanship is timeless

@dehora Steve Jobs grows displeased with your insolence.

@aaronbrethorst if it makes you feel any better, I used to build E911 systems in Visual Basic. Seriously.

@migueldeicaza you and @spolsky need to team up because the Dependency Injection armies are massing on your borders

@avernet ahh, you want more notifications? consider it done!

@anildash reverse it even more! "Will Schmidt be able to innovate without Google?"

@skrenta @amazon I second this emotion, great idea, "buy now home", "buy now work"

@NathanBowers I'm on a Vision Quest(tm)

@quanticle @NathanBowers I find that most people have fantastical, absurd, unrealistic ideas of what they CAN do every day, anyhow

@Wh1t3Rabbit The folks at http://security.stackexchange.com might!

@NathanBowers @annietown I thought you were gonna say she killed keyboards by FORCE OF SHEER AWESOME

@haacked quora only mines your FB account to spam your friends network, it does not allow you to log in with it

@JohnMacIntyre hey, thanks! I'm doing everything I can to spread the good word..

@ncraike so earn > 10 rep to show more than 1 link..

@averyj yeah blog about that, I am curious about the state of mono for big asp.net apps.. guess why? :)

@siracusa Mac was always a niche; phones aren't. Not sure about tablets quite yet, but being inexpensive is key.

@phillijw if DNS problems see http://goo.gl/V2TZR -- we are seeing some DNS oddities

@ftrain you forgot Turtles. http://goo.gl/VexWe

@ALyman dude you read my mind, that is exactly what happened :p

@jonathannesbitt it's running an open source clone, I think OSQA

@cmoles omg that's awesome I thought you were totally bullshitting me, but it works :D

@haacked ohhh I envy the experience you're about to have

@migueldeicaza oh, interesting, I had not considered that. What, you don't like crappy Java based IRC UIs?

@al3x sure you can try it out! Listening is free and public. Talking requires 20 rep.

@edbott @freecloud I blame TechCrunch, they're a cancer on the web

@Carnage4Life I think click fraud is a real problem, but that article is ridiculous.

@ivoflipse5 spammers aren't really using the dumps; search for any old SO post (say in '08) with a natural GUID to see

@AccordionGuy what the.. glad you're alive!

@Pinboard @deadprogrammer why is that surprising? You actually *Pay* PayPal. I pay Twitter nothing, and never have.

@drachenstern the system is designed to ensure success so the bar is high

@ahsteele see http://stackexchange.com/sites?sort=traffic&expand=true -- largest SE 2.0 site, still quite small by trilogy standards

@ericf @ftrain @TipTheWeb money ruins everything.

@wilshipley oh but I beg to differ http://goo.gl/TAcpH

@jarrod_dixon yeah, well, I would have @jquery 's babies babies.

@NathanBowers @Marcoarment I wouldn't say "hate" but the friction of deciding certainly outweighs the meaningful differences which sucks

@infinitary magic 8 ball

@davidheff I think you missed a lot of stuff.. read top 3 results here http://goo.gl/kzi4z

@ivucica you can use @name syntax to mention an editor in a comment and they will get notified (editors are valid @name targets)

@Carnage4Life not exactly. I can prove that Bing has spidered a small fraction of our pages relative to Google; their crawler is legendary

@ftrain it's no inside cricket.

@ckindel @edbott you should check out our highly curated network of technical Q&A sites at http://stackexchange.com/sites

@JPazella depends on the blog software, search for markdown + blog software name, eg "markdown wordpress"

@SteveAGRC maybe you're thinking of email subs? those default to daily http://goo.gl/JWxWp
