@matthewkane because we're totally awesome. I cannot speak for other sites :)

@NathanBowers the answer is vertical niches, IMHO. Kite people love kites, nobody else is crazy enough to visit their forum.

@MJHaney LET THE DOWNVOTING BEGIN

@john_lam lumix LX5 is a better peer to the S95, but.. slightly larger + lens cap. Great image quality though.

@lie2815 ah yes, we need to start a new meta post for that -- thanks for the reminder!

@SathyaBhat @IvoFlipse5 awesome!

@splattne oh my God, I've been singing "copacabana" since I read that and I cannot stop http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMHp9a5FwrI

@kevindente Get a Mac already, sheesh

@colfaxschuyler requires 50 rep to comment on posts that aren't yours, or answers to your questions

@shanselman grandma is monopolizing the phone at the moment. Just Cause 2 protip: use the zipline for EVERYTHING, ALL THE TIME

@shanselman solution: kick MORE ASS

@paulwhit @shanselman the monster truck and hovercraft are fun

@shanselman it is close to a perfect game. And there are NINJAS in it!

@NathanBowers worked for Zuck

@NathanBowers whatever it takes to cut the Gordian Knot of codecs, I am for it. Oh, and website passwords too.

@NotJoelShapiro yes, but.. http://twitter.com/#!/codinghorror/status/13540984670

@TrevorBramble hey, nice sticker! :)

@TopLeftBrick @plasticmind @gruber yep and I have confirmation from no less than Matt Cutts -- putting *relevant* keywords in title is good

@Donny_V we already do (well, OAuth 2.0) look at the login page http://stackoverflow.com/users/login

@NathanBowers my point is that even if EVERY site was compromised, with OpenID / OAuth 2 they'd have nothing. zilch. nada.

@jordanreiter my MyOpenID password is saved in my browser, as is my GMail password.. as long as they're learning the concept of delegation

@NathanBowers dude, stick to the designery stuff -- you're out of your technical depth here.

@az1 excellent @Spolsky will be glad to hear that as well!

@haacked if your questions are awesome, ask them on our sites. If they suck, ask them elsewhere. Simple :)

@jongalloway does your pc (particularly the video card) meet the minimum spec? It's kinda high..

@spitfire67 I don't see the relationship there; we also have minimum title lengths. Body > title, obviously, no?

@jbarngr I accidentally bought some of the green flavor recently and OMG I lived to regret that decision. SO nasty.

@armanddp see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1985264

@TALlama you realize this is a firing offense

@_RobRyan although actually that has more overlap with http://stats.stackexchange.com now that I've looked at it more closely

@_RobRyan I totally forgot about that, you're probably right!

@EmilStenstrom tricky because the page changes a lot depending on your user preferences and so forth.

@jbdavid I answered your meta post

@drachenstern long META posts you mean.. :)

@andyedinborough yep those are the ones that worry me, and the ones I sent to @mattcutts -- where we're not in the index somehow

@tooshel @jarrod_dixon I feel sorry for Jarrod -- he'll have to wear pants! :)

@secretGeek you've got the brains, I've got the looks -- let's make lots of money

@doctorow on hiding emails in plain sight. http://goo.gl/F25fG

@tatehansen you guys are ready for WAR!

@amirrajan http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1985264

@Viredae that may be, but stackoverflow.com will certainly enjoy it more, if it's a well asked question..

@Viredae why would you ask me when you can ask on http://stackoverflow.com ?

@AccordionGuy I vote for a beating instead. A Santa beating! :)

@bfdill @brooklynDev these stories crack me up, and yet, they are so sad if you really think about it

@timlara the blues are REALLY REALLY LOUD and I like the additional resistance of the clear. I type hard, LIKE A MAN

@baishen only the cherry blues are that loud. The rest are not.

@spronkey deck (clear), das s (brown), razer ultimate (blue) so far.

@Carnage4Life I hope techcrunch writers are paid by the word, I don't disagree with the topic, but .. terrible article

@mrdenny er sorry I meant http://serverfault.com/review/low-quality-posts of course..

@mrdenny oh yeah totally different scenario. I feel your pain. p.s. check out http://stackoverflow.com/review/low-quality-posts too

@cshirky LINKING, HOW THE F**K DOES IT WORK? :)

@mrdenny that's why we (try to) disallow this kind of "kitchen sink" question on our sites.. ask one GOOD question not 5

@splattne @ArminWolf it's a classic :)

@pilky yeah, the solution is to change human behavior so they pick unique and secure passwords EVERY time. Good luck, you're gonna need it!

@pilky and this is different from your email getting hacked, how? Once I own your email, I own you thanks to password recovery.

@pilky or you can faff about with identity theft, since 100+ different sites are all in charge of your password.

@pilky our 500k users appear to disagree with your assessment.

@jzy I am not sure @annacy has signed off on that

@systempuntoout what if you lose your email address, who do you send your facebook password recovery emails to? "security questions.."

@kevinmontrose SLACKER

@dominicrodger see http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/09/rainbow-hash-cracking.html

@jarrettv @kevindente I agree with the need for ferrites and proper shielding on hdmi cables for sure

@anildash quora is reinventing an upscale Yahoo Answers. Whether that's good or bad is up to interpretation.

@d8uv excellent :)

@jongalloway little is the right word.

@Skyzyx if by "great" you mean "all fonts render bold". http://goo.gl/QPNfY

@haacked MAKE IT RAIN!!!!!!!!1!!

@rish404 ah but we do. check http://stackapps.com/?tab=apps and click on the tag you want..

@RobertGroves rate of incoming content vastly exceeds ability or desire of users to flag. Preventing worst 20% important.

@Jaykul that stuff was never really on topic, there was just no other place for it go. Now there is.

@Jaykul there is some irrational, frothy exuberance when sites launch; check the dates on a lot of those. Deletes incoming.

@Jaykul nope, I think you just misunderstand what's on-topic, and how expert communities work. Read http://goo.gl/sJTWv closely

@oising @jaykul already done -- see http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/11/tag-sets-on-stack-exchange/

@Jaykul our Google Analytics graph data disagrees with you sir

@timbray I blame @wilshipley

@rolfje I think we forget how amazing the human animal really is, even as a drooling average. Kids reconnect us with that.

@Gryzor same guy also invokes Godwin's Law so not too credible. (search for goebbels)

@waxpancake SCREENSHOT LEAKER!!

@jonsagara still this one. Dual core CULV is the BOMB. http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2010/01/a-democracy-of-netbooks.html

@xurble when the top response makes Nazi references, I don't respond on sites like that. (search for goebbels)

@TechWhizWanted see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1985264

@jonskeet Stack Overflow will buy you a jetpack!

@wilshipley I am no Facebooks fan but I have to admit for families sharing pictures of spawn, it's effective

@Carnage4Life also invokes Godwin's law, search for goebbels. Impressive.

@OmarShahine did you notice the first response on that page invokes Godwin's Law? Search for "Goebbels". Quality..

@andrecarlucci see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1985264

@shauny that post is ancient in internet-months. It reads like crankery.

@aChrisSmith go to http://stackexchange.com that's the central hub. Asking a good question means doing research..

@josephbottinger it's real, though -- plug it into an amp and start playing. But yes, part of the "value" line. Snobs! :)

@jarrod_dixon mmmm char-grill

@kevindente that's veering well into "most annoying" territory for me. I hate emails with 50 jokes packed into them.

@emalamisura @averyj yes and I cut myself all the time because of that decision

@averyj when you use Godaddy you're only hurting yourself.

@statichippo steam is usable as an openid tho try logging in to http://gamers.stackexchange.com

@blowdart 'course the one thing you CANNOT trust, is yourself.

@blowdart so host your own openid..

@sallamar perhaps, but most sites require email as username anyway.

@donpark I hope it is more Terminator 2 than Caddyshack 2

@tatehansen lol awesome
