@cwilso lol, you would be the one to ask about that, riding herd on IE community in the past :P

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life ask this question: "how long until Quora is dead?"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers @kevindente is too cheap to pay $9.99+ per iBook or Kindle, he PDFs his own. That bastige.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@qntmfred it's to kill Quora, has nothing to do with us

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mooneydev yep, works. there is a trim dial to prevent unwanted rotation

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@waxpancake could be worse. could be zombies.

@lazycoder @subdigital We've already done that, somewhat.. check the login page

@iainlobb can't reproduce. cleared cache on my iphone 4.. no change, works same as before.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente Works on My Machine

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@shanselman I agree, I was wondering why @kevindente was using that when Win7 has an app built in to scan. I assumed he meant OCR.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente do you mean OCR?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers lol maybe "the deck" should get some favicons

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@anildash funny I feel the same way about Israel vs. Lebanon

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers apparently @oldspiceguy is at ComicCon ... Seriously!

@lavamunky I have specifically been avoiding that movie :p

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente well, they're doing so in the only area that matters: PHP.. it's the future of all web development, statistically speaking

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente really? I built a top 1000 website with C# and ASP.NET. Not really seeing the need for Ruby, unless I wanted it to run slower :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers yeah there's a zillion ways for them to fail, but on a pure UI basis, winphone7 has it all over iphone. Just MHO.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers I think the WinPhone has a much, much better UI than iPhone. Engadget et al agree. (execution, we'll see..)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RockBandAide lol best use of LITERALLY ever!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers you're right but you're wrong: telco ecosystem infinitely more evil. I don't have to buy a "contract" on a netbook.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers yeah but uninstallable/removable is just annoying, whereas *unremovable* is a giant F**K YOU. Kind of .. different.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mstum meh, all uninstalls leave "traces". Every new laptop I've gotten, add/remove uninstall works good enough.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers you're really comparing apples (UNREMOVABLE carrier apps) to oranges (stickers and uninstallable apps). Just sayin'.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers nah, it's pretty easy. So is uninstall, just go to add/remove programs. Mildly annoying AT BEST.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers except, those are removable..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mikevargas I guess metafilter is full of pseudo-intellectual nincompoops, then? :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente yeah that strategy apparently totally *SUCKED* for Facebook. Those guys are just a footnote now. :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente if you're college educated you should know what "meta" means and why it's important. Otherwise, I hear myspace is totally rad!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente again -- wikipedia is very geeky. As is craigslist. And even teh Facebooks, really. Audience not as dumb as you think they are.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente I think all of those are pretty bad suggestions, with problems of their own. Audience isn't as dumb as you think they are.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente and you'd do it how...?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente wikipedia makes no "sense" either -- at some level you are educating the audience

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@vesech so turn it off in your preferences tab. DONE AND DONE :)

@haacked azure is down for us too

@codinghorror
@udaygarikapati I already responded.. check the comments and search for JEFF ATWOOD. Sigh. READING PEOPLE! READING!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tzuptzup er I already did -- see comments

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mharen see http://stackapps.com/badges/68/tenacious (coming in a bit, all sites)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers many times when I post YouTube links I get that response from people outside the USA, too. Not a good feeling, is it?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jakemcgraw I think the careers team is doing something today -- email them at careers@stackoverflow.com , I am on the road

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@anildash would totally be there but out of town. :( beeeeeebo.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@philpursglove I left a comment on the blog as well with same info.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@philpursglove ah, my bad. Got confused.

Jeff Atwood

@wilshipley it's proximity to Ballmer, isn't it? You pussy.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley but, the fake boobs.

@codinghorror
@dzvlad hard to restore when heat related drop damage prevents wipe from working

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cfischer83 he couldn't wipe because the overheating made him drop and damage it, which prevented wipe.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@deadprogrammer never mind, I whitelisted you just now at http://photo.stackexchange.com/

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@deadprogrammer best photo yet by far

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jzy don't you be talkin' bout my momma like that

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@cyberzeddk errr no I didn't? I see it right there!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley tummy shortage? so sad.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@lizardbill I want a refund for the time I spent reading that. I blame Wired.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@FungusHumungus I can follow gardening once I get my current 3 commitment tokens released.. sigh.. I need help in my yard

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@hedron @Scaleslea why they didn't do this in the first 2 weeks is beyond me, because it was so utterly obvious as a "fix".. but whatevs

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@intlect awesome! one of my favorites as well! we er, webmaster a few websites ourselves :P

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mbuckbee no, we're really going to change it.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mbuckbee all right, we'll change it then. BUT JUST FOR YOU :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mandlar can't see any problems on my end

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mbuckbee no mocking; tireless is a compliment, like "tenacious"

Jeff Atwood

@bsimser if by "wrong" you mean .. AWESOME

@edbott there are no winners in the "who is a bigger link baiter" argument, only losers

@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life I had no idea Twitter even competed with Digg but I guess that explains it

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@oldspice I am going to the store right now to buy a cubic assload of Old Spice products. But not for me. FOR YOU. You're welcome.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@christian_pyn but it is a 1.0 site, so not part of new 2.0 model ( http://area51.stackexchange.com )

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@christian_pyn view source look for stackexchange :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jcfiala were you thinking of ... http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/5220/board-and-card-games

@codinghorror
@seanmonstar tell @spolsky , he's the blocking factor :(

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Scaleslea recall is going to hurt Apple's *reputation* (n' stock price) a lot more than a measly $5 per iPhone.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@hedron exactly! I thought Apple was crazy not to do this (offer free bumper on request) immediately just to prevent complaints!!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@splattne I got three simple hard plastic iPhone 4 cases and two screen covers off eBay for $6 shipped! done and done..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley I dunno, man, those little plastic bumpers cost THIRTY BUCKS! Can Apple afford such an expense? <eyeroll>

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley wait wait wait. Why in the world would Apple recall instead of shipping free bumpers to everyone?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@damovisa it's up -- we just changed some DNS gizmobobbery so there might be some variability at the moment.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@portman_wills as an addendum: if Apple fails to expand beyond AT&T by the end of the year, they deserve to lose.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@portman_wills just wait for Verizon launch, then start crying alligator tears :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ifindkarma per http://goo.gl/lL6l Yahoo Answers is a "success"? by what metric? lols/sec? http://www.yahooanswerfail.com/

@codinghorror
@mikejr I gotta build up my power meter before I do my ultimate, man!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@drachenstern no way at the moment, but you can vote for.. http://goo.gl/TZA7

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@deadprogrammer I still think they could have coated the metal with something clear.. or maybe they didn't realize the extent of the issue?
