@ashleyw skinny pixel grid is the world we live in. Monitor DPI is going nowhere fast, even graphed over 10 years.

@codinghorror
@wilshipley where may I buy this "Somewhat Perturbed Birds" game BECAUSE IT SOUNDS AWESOME

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@westi yes, and blog entries are better than twitter messages. Therefore we should cancel twitter.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nacin implies *insane* amounts of setup overhead to get to a point where you can run unit tests, run the project.. impractical IMO

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley it's a KKK rally

@secretGeek I take solace in knowing that he is DEEPLY UNHAPPY despite his wealth. DEEPLY.

@sholsinger @psolsky we followed up and he honors our attribution rules. But ads are still redirecting.. report it! http://goo.gl/dR12

@gnuchu you don't have +200 on any network site? that's worth a +100 starting bonus on all other sites..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@systempuntoout not enough XKCD cartoons?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mattcutts we adapted the "tips for getting help" and require reading for newbie users.. any feedback? http://goo.gl/IS7w

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@leeked even worse, I look for the "mod" button everywhere I go :O

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jonskeet was it a c-pound job?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ircri it needs its own reality distortion field, or it isn't really about Apple products. I'm not kidding..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@SathyaBhat awesome, enjoy -- I think there are newer firmwares actually.. http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=643

@kevindente did you test either of the two models I listed in my blog post?

@splattne ah, reminds me of the BRILLIANT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p10UE3O8s24

@codinghorror
@skrenta ooh taking a page from the GoDaddy playbook? :P

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@portman_wills search box with 5 favorites. Search is the only UI that matters any more.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rolfje best of all, just a search box with a few favorite apps on one page. app icons don't scale at all, folders suck..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@pixelbath good question! lots of interesting meta discussion on that here http://goo.gl/B5we

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@sacca it's because twitter is like your drunk friend who regularly goes on benders. It's just not NEWS. Facebook was technically competent

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mandlar there are now 14 questions tagged [untagged] that need fixing..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mandlar good point; I'll burninate it!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@secretGeek ask on http://english.stackexchange.com obviously

@codinghorror
@barryoconnor hey, thanks! @kevinmontrose worked really hard to get that going

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cfischer83 turn off the "stay on bottom" option at the.. bottom :)

@codinghorror
@jonelf we inquired about merging with that SE 1.0 site but the owner declined. c'est la vie..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nathanblevins there's a serious answer there -- Google is our UI, that's always been [status-bydesign] from literally day one

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@juristr no-repro. are you using a beta browser? we don't support beta browsers..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@nathanblevins yes, we have global search, it's available at w w w google dot com :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza being helpful doesn't scale, so the users have to be helpful to each other

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa the only thing I've seen as good as the Sopranos S1 was the Wire (better) and Breaking Bad (on par)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@OmarShahine no: the momentus xt uses cache as read only; see the anandtech article for details

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers fantastic story, except the part where iTunes craps all over it :(

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JasonPunyon no but there is a SHAME fountain.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers there is a disturbing truth in what you just said

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@el_joni I outlined my position there -- it depends. if it's a static list, no, if the answers explain "why and how?" then yes.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@znbailey we don't support beta browsers

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@znbailey can't reproduce that.. does it happen in a different browser for you? is it repeatable?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@donpark chat is a very interesting beast.. web is always tearing time down, chat can't survive without it..

@jongalloway email in a browser -- CRAZY TALK!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@monkeyfudge WOW. just.. WOW. Oh intarwebz you can still amaze me!

Jeff Atwood

@marcoarment I find the kindle 3 screen beautiful, delightfully analog and nearly paper-like

Jeff Atwood

@ghickman ack! my apologies! will be fixed tomorrow AM eastern USA time!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza I get tired holding my iPhone when reading (I am not joking). Also I am a pussy.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@BennettSmith tech books are obsolete in the face of the web anyway. I need to blog about that. (but point taken, iPad allows real web)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@henry_maddocks I understand K3 has dramatically better contrast than K2; I can't bear the ultra-low-res iPad screen after iPhone4

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway Kindle 3 is DRAMATICALLY better than Kindle 2 from all the positive reviews I've read (never seen K1 or K2)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@timbray you should get a Mac, man! oh wait.. :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@izevaka hey congrats! sorry it took so long to arrive

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ntotten you can also try http://stackapps.com/questions/tagged/facebook

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ntotten it is only for public beta sites. Stack Overflow doesn't need any more promotion.. if anything it's too large

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@portman_wills sounds like you have a broken one, honestly

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@donpark that's why we built our own stateful web chat system, we use internally as well .. http://goo.gl/o9Rf

@codinghorror
@dylanbeattie really? skiiers, because they go down a snowy mountain, can't tell if they are snowboarders or not? :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers no historical evil is greater than the single button mouse. Thanks Apple!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@darkhelmetlive yes, we are following up: see http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/08/defending-attribution-required/

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dylanbeattie apple site is for end users not programmers.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dylanbeattie what do cooking and programming have in common? You're proposing facebook, which already exists. use that! :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@troygilbert can't agree.. even crappy old phpBB is great for shooting the shit with online pals. Pure information-free entertainment, tho

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@erickthompson we have a solution already :) http://stackexchange.com/sites

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@shakefon we are iterating on it as I type http://stackexchange.com/sites

@NathanBowers perfectly Yoko Ono and annoying!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jonskeet nulls are the bane of my existence. Go deeper: who thought it was a good idea to ALLOW NULLS, period?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@MrPope yeah, well, it's no POWER GIG RISE OF THE SIX STRING or anything, man

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@helloandre that is an ability unlocked at 1k rep, it is new as of maybe 4-5 months ago

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@isaach you could support the area 51 proposal ... http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/4861/parenting

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JoshDuffMan yes, of course! it's also available on iphone

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ntotten we already have facebook and twitter share http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/08/a-recipe-to-promote-your-site/

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@orj give us details (browser, etc) and repro steps on meta.stackoverflow.com

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@john_lam sorry to hear about the mishap; I hope you (and bike) have a speedy recovery!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@brianschmitt to me, dexter is goofy graphic novel fun, whereas Breaking Bad is an actual drama about the very real meth problem

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@averyj season 3 was incredible. it's definitely intense, but also up there in my top 10 all time.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@averyj yes, but did you watch until the end of Season 3? Best thing I've seen since the Sopranos IMO.
