@MaggieLongshore thanks for listening; I agree that only certain kinds of community fit the model, and we never want to "force" a fit

@lara_eagle yes, that's almost the only hit on the entire internet for that. Vote it up! I did..

@lara_eagle and @scottforsyth you were right: DYNAMIC_COMPRESSION_NOT_SUCCESS --> NO_MATCHING_CONTENT_TYPE

@donpark hmm, I don't think web IM is a fad.. blogs -> email, IM -> twitter. http://goo.gl/hDzl

@ohmz work is much funnier, too

@kch it's weird because I love the browser address bar "command line" but historically hate the CLI in general, way back to Amiga

@tzuptzup can't reproduce

@madlep right, that's one positive side effect.. you do it more and in smaller chunks it's less scary and has better history

@gmr_reddog agreed, flexibility is good. I wish the polish was there, but it's still early days.

@lazycoder thinking about source control doesn't make Stack Overflow better.

@tarnacious I like to think about things that are moving my business forward. Source control.. isn't.

@williamshields we aren't even using branching; we've had a lot of accidental branches and merge fails even for "simple" things.

@wilshipley is that our old pal Java's IncrediblyVerboseNamingSystemManager?

@davidhfe karma is a bitch though. Also: child molesters get constitutional protection, too, amirite?

@anildash yeah, but Gizmodo are sleazy dicks.

@kevindente sunk cost fallacy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunk_costs#Loss_aversion_and_the_sunk_cost_fallacy

@alanstevens yes. beyond pointless, poorly written dreck. I've seen better rants written by lolcats.

@WestDiscGolf can't reproduce

@NathanBowers if the a-team remake sucks, I predict the end of western civilization as we know it

@alanstevens that was fucking horrible.

@haacked ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz

@NathanBowers @jzy I normalized the tag "cloud" homepage style based on Robert Cartaino's suggestion (see meta). Seems obvious in retrospect

@kitroed white, excellent choice! :)

@bsimser SACRELIGE! I will never own an iMac!

@SeanJA flag that person for mod attention, we always follow up

@SeanJA see here http://is.gd/67x9w

@padraigf yes, she seems to have stopped using Twitter as well :(

@rabois well, you could make the same argument about government. Normals don't want to think hard about democracy, they want a dictatorship.

@mandlar that's funny :) who created that? http://www.doxdesk.com/img/updates/20091116-so-large.gif

@jbwebb same exact UI, though -- community has to form around on and off topic questions.

@NathanBowers stack overflow looks really good on an ipad -- advantage of designing for 1024x768 as a minimum

@amyhoy that's true -- the additional constraints are healthy. But I worry when I see "magazines" and "newspapers" appearing on the iPad

@NathanBowers thor demands it.

@timbray I support your support for a "back" button. One button smacks of "users only need a single button mouse" fetishism. But only 2.

@seesharp oh no! You're gonna be the Susan Lucci of tech emmys, aren't you? :)

@ohmz some of the new posts are very, very bad. I am only proposing downvoting in these cases.

@jonskeet spare the rod, spoil the child. If the post is sloppy and careless, and not posted in good faith, then I would.

@jonskeet downvote time

@timbray get back to me when you have two of them, or better yet, three!

@seesharp don't forget about Dre!

@lawnjam you don't support my radical new public-public key encryption plan? luddite.

@portman_wills hey congrats! Ada is a great name. After 3 is there a special prize?

@rockbandaide what happened to the Supergrass song? it's nowhere to be found on Xbox 360..

@jzy see http://twitter.com/NathanBowers/status/6955722361

@thethirdswitch zappos.com of course!

@RightSaidPhredd because imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?

@OmarShahine yeah too bad MSFT isn't picking up the Blu-Ray ball and running with it.. third party ecosystems suck ass.

@siracusa did the magazine weigh 1.5 pounds?

@cshirky the engineer's solution to that would be for more men to have gender reassignment surgery. FIXED.

@vivekbernard see http://goo.gl/HR7O

@Nosredna Sliced HAM was the bomb! Hey, you really should post the "how do I move the turtle in logo?" here! http://goo.gl/7lqc

@Nosredna that is brilliant

@portman_wills yeah you're pretty much going to lose that bet.

@carlmanaster don't take @jarrod_dixon too seriously..

@jonskeet context of Stack Exchange 2.0 -- branching off into shared interests of existing users. It'll be on Hanselminutes.

@izevaka wow that's creepy. I shall go wash my eyes out now and pretend I didn't see that.

@ianchesal lol

@andyrehfeldt holy CRAP your youtube videos are awesome. Kudos, sir. http://www.youtube.com/user/AndyRehfeldt

@wilshipley OMG LIVE ACTION BACHELOR!

@simey http://goo.gl/xQ37

@SonoranCellist omg ponystars!

@cyberzeddk podcast is on hiatus for at least 1 month possiibly 2. Ask @spolsky

@cyberzeddk good point, I should update the SO blog with it as well

@NathanBowers it's interesting that the web techie audience is able to so utterly dominate the charts, though

@balpha b) is not necessarily a good thing (revision history?) and disqus is ugly and very heavy.

@ivoflipse5 they want to own it

@BradfordBruce I think they've done that for a while now..

@NathanBowers THIS IS A QUESTION I ASK MYSELF LITERALLY EVERY DAY

@NathanBowers good thing Apple's holding down the QUALITY APPS fort for us. Phew!

@NathanBowers it's true -- all the greatest artists? fingerpainters.

@counternotions reality: Microsoft's ad agencies haven't gotten the Flash vs. Sliverlight memo yet. Battleship takes too long to turn..

@NathanBowers yeah, well, AOL users "didn't know how to scroll", either .. remember? Part of it is people learning new tools, takes time.

@glenrhunt give it more than 4 minutes :)

@NathanBowers touching is "personal" in a way that mouse/keyboard aren't. Law of unintended consequences..

@stevefink t-shirt sizing info is here http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/45881/sofu-t-shirts-sizing-conversions

@jonskeet this is far too much happiness! I feel obliged to downvote your posts on SO now out of a sense of karmic justice!

@edbott yeah, but I hope this is of the "8-bit tie" or "tauntaun sleeping bag" variety..

@Perspx sorry I missed you, hope the tour and lunch did not disappoint!

@wilshipley in high school I discovered nothing sucks all the joy out of programming quite like the letter "C"

@kevindente I suspect that 499 price was painful for Apple to reach. It surprised me.

@kevindente so you're saying buying a v1 iPad is a bad idea??? A SHOCKING REVELATION! :)

@funkatron perhaps but that article is much, much funnier than the Tick! :)

@RoyOsherove my latest post is about 3 monitors! http://www.codinghorror.com/blog

@_Tomalak excellent, enjoy!

@awmoore excellent, thanks, even better if left as comment so others can follow the trail o' breadcrumbs.. :)

@awmoore {{citation needed}}

@OmarShahine if anything it is a Nintendo killer, and I am totally serious

@OmarShahine totally disagree; and I have 2 iPads in this room with me. iPad is very much the hipster fixie bicycle, as I suspected

@Clarko that's right, everything is effectively free now -- except Apple stuff. http://goo.gl/eiq3

@NathanBowers yeah, a Guitar Hero controller is great for about 10 games and freakin' awful for the other 99,990.

@anildash was at the park today with the Stack Overflow team and that's *exactly* right. 3 geeks, 2 giant lenses!

@ryanbigg thanks it is all @kevinmontrose @superdalgas and @jarrod_dixon -- I just "supervise" <air quotes> and "blame" <air quotes>

@deadprogrammer well played

@FoleyIsGood @kevindente also, incest.. rape.. murder.. and, worst of all, C++.

@loicwolff holy crap was that finally fixed in OSX ?! can you post it on meta?!!! http://is.gd/bbAmv

@HMXCasey meh, I heard Guitar Hero 6 is gonna have, like, twelve guitarists.

@TALlama the need for more unicorns is a universal constant, isn't it?

@tooshel see the blog, it is happening in NYC, I am on the plane there now

@samuelclay ok cool buying "Exit Strategy" now. I love buying apps .. more money for us developers!
