@haacked if tangible, measurable success in the real world is not relevant to a MSFT review, then it's utterly broken

@haacked my point is that measuring SUCCESS is the *same as* measuring some nebulous concept of "satisfaction". It's all that matters.

@haacked who gives a crap about customer satisfaction? just measure how many internet sites have that magical ASP.NET MVC http header

@kevindente I am going out on a limb here and guessing those dry clean only toddler clothes are for girls. Dudes get dirty, yo.

@ahsteele email = efail http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001302.html and http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001191.html

@donpark err.. those examples are in C# not C. http://bit.ly/dhmQmg

@jwz your disgusting links fascinate me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZFd5w_IoBQ

@migueldeicaza I consider that a war crime against mexican rolls.

@NathanBowers iPad apps should cost more (larger, more content), but I suspect App store $0.99 gravity will suck them all in too

@migueldeicaza this is why mono will never be ENTERPRISE READY(tm)!! http://bit.ly/aXJgSL.

@bradwilson so the only good bicycle is a "fancy" one? More computers = more awesome

@jcheng lol. why you gotta hate on Prince? He would die 4 u!

@siracusa http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/2038/mtywtk.jpg

@NathanBowers thurott is batshit crazy. Not a good reference point.

@NathanBowers "@gruber loves Apple stuff, but he's reasonable, not breathless or ideological" -- uh, are you high right now?

@ahsteele http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcwyOaYyu7Y

@bbach true; ipad only kills the Kindle hardware, assuming Apple allows Amazon to compete with ibooks

@timbray bitter much? :)

@kevindente I bought 3 last time

@wilshipley the pricing is definitely better than I expected. I do like my iPhone, so I'd probably like an EXTRA BIG ASS iPhone, too.

@raulagrait I totally support this initiative! :)

@kevindente you asked how to drop down the Chrome menu with the keyboard; I told you how.

@NathanBowers which tire tread looks coolest? That's how *I* choose tires, anyway..

@NathanBowers upgrayedded OK on my Windows 7 PC. Clearly: mac fail. They want you to stick with Safari!

@philswenson that's what I'm saying -- Firefox has deep architectural problems that cannot be easily fixed. Google has more tech chops

@kevinmagee yes, Chrome is 2x as fast and a zillion times more stable than Firefox. I agree, hardly any difference AT ALL!

@ofthepants "Recently Brushes issued an upgrade to 2.0, much to Hockney's dismay. As with many such applications, he prefers the original."

@orj you understand that I understand "show all distributed checkins from everyone". I just don't *agree* with it. Wikipedia: Minor Edits.

@orj and all the support questions on Meta asking which fork of WMD is the "correct" one? Guess I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue

@NathanBowers you're high if you think drawing or making music is viable as anything other than a novelty on a phone. Photo/video, OK.

@NathanBowers dude, I never leave the house. I'm also more interested in content creation (eg the printing press) than consumption.

@voretaq7 see http://is.gd/6T9D8 for iphone issue

@jeffmoser it's showing for ALL of Stack Overflow we had ~20 iPhone visitors in a month. That *cannot* be right!

@dorianmuthig this is why I put company in "quotes" :)

@troygilbert you can run your own Stack site via http://stackexchange.com

@ivoflipse5 we should reference @howtogeek articles on http://superuser.com whenever appropriate..

@NeilRobbins ICUH8N

@digitalBush also, being on GitHub makes the lack of parenting an order of magnitude worse, not better.. explosion at the fork factory

@digitalBush we moved it to Google Code, try googling for it as wmd-new

@MikeArthur you know what else totally sucks? @mikearthur ! man!! I've never met him, but I bet he is just terrible!!

@williamshields no -- I'm confused why 854 "timelines" is considered useful. Can you get this graph to load? http://is.gd/6DGx6

@migueldeicaza I do not feel you have given hours of redundant UITableView hacking a fair shake in this comparison

@kitroed 99.99% sure that was an ironic comment. That's how I read it, anyway.

@seesharp flying truck is AWESOME!!

@blowdart yes, it is the dark chocolate of friendships

@jonskeet recommended we watch Josh Bloch talk on API design: http://is.gd/6uGLN

@codingbloke you're famous! For very, very small values of famous! :) http://is.gd/5tjY1

@jarrod_dixon what a dapper boy! a young fancy lad!

@timbray I agree: at this mature stage, Wikipedia should probably require you to register an account beore editing. Different early on.

@mrdenny only 48x improvement? pff. amateurs...

@edbott uh, there are millions of 1280x1024 LCDs still out there.. I owned three in 2005.

@chotalia I think you replied with the wrong link BUT IT WAS SO AWESOME

@donpark corporate IT is where companies like Microsoft / IBM / Sun / etc make *OBSCENE* amounts of money

@haacked when all the "standards" compliant browsers differ, you must rewrite it in Silverlight or Flash!

@cammerman everyone STARTS invisible

@home4film did you use our ad contact form? http://is.gd/6c2Um I told Alex to follow up with you

@siracusa don't worry, I'm sure the incoming money speaks louder than concern about human rights

@migueldeicaza with MONO_NEW_RX set, definite improvement: regex benchmark is about 50%-70% of non-compiled Windows run

@migueldeicaza oh, that is reasonable performance for non-compiled regex in Mono, then!

@migueldeicaza http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2007/Dec-28.html I can confirm, mono regex engine still needs a bit of work my friend :)

@stephenpatten @grumpydev I can get to the virtual PC "magic folder" but no special UI whatsoever.. literally, a plain folder.

@stephenpatten %SystemRoot%\system32\vmwindow.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\VMCPropertyHandler.dll,DisplayVMCenter does NOTHING on my box.

@wilshipley seriously? competing with "bundled software"? competing with *the web* by writing an .exe email client is even dumber

@OffBeatMammal DreamScene is 100% non-starter with multiple monitors for technical reasons

@NathanBowers the ultimate fly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6VIuQbjDEQ

@ojmason as I was saying :)

@NathanBowers intel is EXTREMELY evil, and has been since forever. You think MSFT is evil? not even clooooose.

@richcampbell you should answer in the post, as that's a minority opinion.. would be interested to hear specifics http://is.gd/5WfFF

@wilshipley you need better hobbies, my man

@jongalloway there was CGI in Julia and Julia??

@orj WordPress does not a scaling web app make

@NathanBowers you should know that I made @jarrod_dixon watch They Live with me when he visited, and he totally dissed it. Heathen.

@digitalBush nginx runs WordPress OK?

@NathanBowers get back to me when you have either

@NathanBowers I resisted because words am dumb!

@DanielSchaffer oh it's on now! Dark chocolate : Neanderthal Man :: Milk Chocolate : Modern Man

@lazycoder that's why we line RHA's crib with barbed wire

@bertbates enjoy your sushi, and your birthday!

@nathanbowers @jarrod_dixon apparently pluralization is just as annoying in source code as it is in Words With Enemies

@Carnage4Life how is it wrong? seems correct to me.. to verify true randomness you need LOTS of output.

@johnstok it's the implied paren balancing that is problematic, not the "ends with"; that part is easy

@jonskeet any unusual drive noises of ANY kind are reason for outright terror and general pandemonium. Not good!

@jongalloway the resemblance is frightening! between you and COMPUTER WORKER I mean.

@wilshipley you and prince both. the silence of the 'urples.

@JimRoepcke M is the beginning of the death of gmail. It's a recent addition. I don't see any "windows", however..

@dshipp you are unsatisfied with boring, irrelevant, and erratically published? The bar is too high!

@stevedrees perils of customization and configurability http://is.gd/5wyIF http://is.gd/5wyJA

@kersny and thus the problem.. market confusion about "google openid". It's quite bad.

@nathanbowers and the really ironic thing about this, the crappy Apple copy (Comic Book or something?) of Comic Sans is EVEN WORSE

@nathanbowers I think there's one down the street that uses Papyrus. Not kidding. Comic Sans bothers me WAY more. Not even close.

@NathanBowers exposure to Macs has ruined you

@JustinEtheredge Good point, I updated the blog post for future travellers to find...

@JustinEtheredge http://blog.stackoverflow.com/category/cc-wiki-dump/

@siracusa no Star Wars Christmas Special? for shame!

@ghickman try month tab http://serverfault.com/?tab=month

@ronaldwidha see Yahoo Answers for how well that works... http://is.gd/5uyQ1

@ronaldwidha not quite; there's an intentional barrier. also: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/search

@McNutt you have made @superdalgas a very happy man! :) thanks

@haacked really? have you met Scott Bellware?

@nathanbowers ooh, you're right. I read that as "anti-aliased". Yeah, we need a study on blurry vs. sharp..
