@jtbandes at very high DPI there is no question that Apple's choice is the correct one

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@aragost yes, it is to kill Quora, has little to do with us

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@HMXCasey JUGGALO FUNERAL MEMORIES. WORD.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@refulgentis guess you're right. It can only get heavier in the future! :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers I think you're confusing "iPad" with "iPhone 4" :) iPad is that awkward tween.. not a keyboard/folding netbook, not a phone

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RobBurke yeah, it's a Quora-killer. Doesn't have much to do with us..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jcoehoorn aw, that's a bummer, man. Can Dell repair?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente my informal reading of your Mark I bitch-o-meter seems about the same though :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente grass does not seem so green over there :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ryantm I would not call two domains that point to the same server "cross-posting"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers uh, because I'm consuming a lot of information, and doing multiple things at once?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers touch doesn't scale to monitors in front of you, period. It's a tool, but a very specialized one.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers I also don't reach up to touch my three monitors like I'm fingerpainting. Seriously, like WAY too literal. Desktop != desktop

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers touching is a poor abstraction for work; it's too literal. (it is fine for play and casual / kiosk selection though)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers that article was embarrassing. I was embarrassed for the author.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@secretGeek @haacked congratulations, you guys just invented Perl

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@spolsky is always obsessing over this, but I really don't feel like we're *competing* with anyone; we've got our own game to play

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ChrisPirillo @lazycoder @spolsky {shrug} open source happens. That said, we'll be approaching Chris next week with an idea..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@dougrathbone specific example?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@seanbamforth ok, but why? What specifically? Examples?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@OmarShahine is live.com an OpenID provider yet?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jpalioto hey congrats :) Sorry the SU shirts took so long to go out.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers the mfg part was the ONLY non cringe-inducing part of that video. That part was cool.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@seesharp yeah but Rock Band iApp has already been available for months

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migheille no, it wouldn't be, because it's not PHP/OSS stack but C# / SQL Server / ASP.NET. Sad reality.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Aamuilma I think conviction is sometimes mistaken for arrogance -- "we're on a mission from God"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente yeah the website is saying I'm eligible in addition to @betsyphd which is odd.. something is afoot

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@SeanJA yes a very high "quality" user, indeed

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@shanselman I watched @superdalgas try to process credit card refunds on his iPad and it was HILARIOUS. Just excruciating.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@macmnc it's based on the OSQA open source clone

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kstewart I was just kidding. You see, the whole book is about.. eehh.. forget it :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Carnage4Life Pink and Shirky will be shocked, SHOCKED to learn that paying users didn't work! http://goo.gl/PVey

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@TALlama 3d "input" is a bitch anyway. I'm a firm believer in the power of 2d.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@TALlama yeah I actually thought it was kind of .. fail.. in practice. Fun, but useless.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jromeh they're pissing all over the idea of HTML 5 as a "standard"? I guess that's.. ok..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@RyannosaurusRex it's a Stack Exchange 1.0 site (view source on it) http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/04/changes-to-stack-exchange/

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente @jzy we're quite happy with our Xerox Phaser 6130 color printer.. fast, output looks good, 3rd party toner is cheap

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jzy @kevindente it isn't a printer these days unless it's in color. IMO.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers @jzy sure it is.. download free, forever versions of Visual Studio 2010 that are damn nice http://goo.gl/js6A

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@CMastication rounded corners come at a price, my friend

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Caterina I figure if an artist isn't doing *something* that rubs me the wrong way occasionally, they probably should "art harder"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@splattne and Apple calls netbooks the "toy division" :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley fixie bicycle! too lightweight to be a car IMO

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa I don't think the Windows version has this "animation" on tab hover? does it?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@siracusa tooltip and transparency reduction ain't cutting it for Chrome tag hover feedback?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@Skipants isn't Yahoo = Bing now though?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@obiwansotti google does a brilliant job at their core business. Wish I could say that about other search engines..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@drachenstern well, I need ".. that are actually relevant and useful in practice." That narrows the list.. considerably.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@timoreilly basically, for the key players, you are making the game "more fair". Apple and Facebook made the game .. unfair, favoring corp.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@timoreilly not so. We changed the rules on Stack Overflow several times, the trick is to make changes that the community AGREES with

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@joshbaltzell we detect the ipad user agent and disable the markdown javascript clientside editor; that fix didn't make it to SE sites

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@j_subieta I'd check Stack Overflow :) http://goo.gl/T4b5

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@wilshipley yeah well we were up in nosebleed area, you elitist bastige!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mrdenny the small town doc would use Skype

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@mattcutts in your opinion, what's the difference between the terms "webmaster" and "SEO" as job titles?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers different versions of webkit mobile, presumably? Sort of like Safari 4 vs. Chrome 5?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tyches hey cool! hadn't seen that!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers all the fonts on the iPhone are bold where embossing is used, though.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers is it because every font looks bold with OSX rendering? :) whenever I see embossing, the font is ALWAYS bold. Has to be.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kevindente opera still needs to die

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers looks good! two suggestions: embossing (top) is so crazy hard to read (maybe go bold?), and font could be 10-15% smaller

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@aarnott chrome extension does it

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jonskeet if you let them outnumber you, you've clearly gone mad :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@migueldeicaza oh, you are in for a world of hurt with your first babby.. you have no idea. NO IDEA!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers omg so much. orgy of uninstallation.. ugh.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jonathansampson if you're referring to the "new thing", that's all the NY team including @df07 et al

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ivoflipse5 are you volunteering?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bergus in your heart you know there is no such thing as "over the top"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers it just GOT an extension system in v4 less than 6 months ago! lesson: ITERATE HARDER!

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@JasonPunyon how much is your soul worth?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@anildash ICE COLD HOMEY.. ice cold

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@bmavity still same! amazingly these 27" monitors work with the default mount point size. I think monitors are getting larger & lighter

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@BrianDeacon oops, fixed. thx.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@lloydsparkes yes, search for "duration"

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@peterbecker that's not the SO engine, it's a clone

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@hamishharvey I agree, it seemed correct to me, but it's clearer and more direct in the revised form IMO

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@rolfje I updated the post to clarify

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tylermenezes looks like you're using a beta browser? problem solved. :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@tylermenezes no repro -- looks fine to me in Firefox 3.6..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@ThyNameIsBlair that's why the first badges are always free.. <insert comically evil laugh here>! :)

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers make sure you're screenshotting on win7. 2001-era WinXP font rendering is not quite the same... http://goo.gl/n5gw

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@NathanBowers well, I'd say OSX renders fonts blurry. Depends who you hate more -- the user, or font designers.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@kch make sure you've followed the advice in http://goo.gl/fd2F

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jongalloway glee is worth it for Sue Sylvester. Such an awesome character, played brilliantly.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@secretGeek it also a) doesn't work on a LOT of queries and b) does annoying crap like expand * to the actual fields. So.. bad solution.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror

@codinghorror
@twotymz I used the ergotron arms with my 2343bwx'es http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/09/lcd-monitor-arms.html

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@jacobrelkin miller time! we actually have the caps for that reason as well..

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@shachart well, Google has a .. few .. more resources than we do. But make sure you know about http://stackoverflow.com/search as well
