@nevenmrgan right, limit is inherent. No offense intended, I was just reacting to the personal reality distortion field of @siracusa :)

@kevindente feh, I couldn't even get a WiFi connection at your crib

@siracusa at $0.99 per app, and anybody can build almost anything for a very low entry cost, who CARES if it's closed? I don't.

@siracusa vehemently disagree, a) appstore is not a ghetto b) openness often fails [linux+desktop], c) good oversight can deliver results++

@siracusa you're REALLY reaching. Like, reality.. distortion.. field.. reaching. Maybe in 5 years.

@siracusa I did, and I thought glyphboard was kinda crappy. Not seeing the appeal, there. Manual copy/paste? grrrreat.

@siracusa that's reaching. iPhone web apps are pretty laughable at the moment. Now if you had Flash..

@jongalloway "why is SQL so awesome?"

@wirward yeah but then you have List<int> which is not the same as List<post> and stuff breakinates. downside of strong typing..

@alanstevens empty test fixture checkins are the most depressing sight in software development? really? I got some code I'd like to show you

@jezell pff, I'm going core i9 baby. your i7s are old and busted!

@jongalloway did you just get RickRolled from beyond the grave?

@madwilliamflint w/r/t "Think Different" / Mac vs PC, I will forgive a *lot* for humor, even if spotty

@ryanmeray yeah, the latest Mac vs. PC ads have been sort of meh. They've basically run out of material. I'm surprised it lasted this long..

@carnage4life kind of a specious vision/execution comparison. Which has been more important, MS Bob or Windows ME?

@bobafaux it's not a blog about blogging, therefore, no

@maggiel I <3 experts-exchange. They make my life very, very easy. Here is why: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001246.html

@siovene spoken from igorance. Look into Mono and get back to me. We would have to deal with the SQL Server dependency, though, for sure.

@maggiel firefox 3.0 is horribly unstable for me long term (multiple days of 3+ GMail tabs, etc.) I use Chrome for per-process stability.

@jbwebb wait for the blog post, then. The database is irregular because it doesn't always fit in memory or parse queries "right".

@hollingsworth I need more to go on than "expert programmer = expert researcher", though there is truth there

@jongalloway I'll make you a deal; you post something new to your blog, I'll update mine.

@hmxcasey no Dirty White Boy? Dare I say.. fail? COME ON HARMONIX! ALL MY DREAMS DEPEND ON YOU!

@jarede surely b- statement at least? c+ statement?

@davidlantner don't do it! get another regular monitor -- or, if on laptop, one of those usb -> DVI/VGA monitor adapters

@bradwilson yeah, TN is sooo hard to avoid given my other pref (higher pixel density). Sometimes, the devil you know..

@determinist sadly, they are TN. so hard to avoid these days. But on the plus side, three of these was cheaper than a single 30" even refurb

@mrleroylee right?! that's what I'm saying! 1024 x 1024 ftw! 960 pix (1920/2) is such a painful no-man's land.

@nathanbowers I suspect iPhone v4 will be dual core and even more fast / awesome, so feel free to repay the favor down the line..

@artemr hard to tell on the weekend because traffic is so low relative to weekdays -- but we appreciate the shout-outs!

@bdsexton not until facebook starts building a network of cell towers all over the world and requiring monthly fees to access their network.

@bdsexton walled gardens always die off, like we saw in Pauly Shore's Biodome.

@bdsexton oh yeah, AOL and its "affiliates" used to make a lot of money too. Wonder where they do their counting now? Via iPhone app?

@danja how does robots.txt break the web? It FIXES the web.. crawling!

@haacked breakfast! it's 12:29am! go to bed you crazy norwegian traveller!

@rrwhite openid -- I don't think I've ever stayed logged in more than 1 day

@rrwhite oh, you have no IDEA how many times I have cursed UserVoice for this! I have to log in every day... no "memory" at all.

@tuttletree KISS ME I'M IRISH!

@carnage4life I can't repro the riz.gd ad-embedding URL shortening!

@shanselman excellent mame series, but.. no trackball? only one set of flipper buttons (no nudge)? LCD monitor? :(

@firetown @coreyh @averyj CDNs are massive overkill, and quite expensive relative to fixed rate we pay now (near-free)

@bdsexton you misunderstand, I mean features should be OFF by default. A feature that isn't enabled is 100% safe. :)

@nathanbowers I think @jarrod_dixon gets up at about 5pm EST

@nathanbowers you forgot "I'm your huckleberry". You don't even KNOW Val Kilmer. <tooth snap>

@tatehansen is it summer? I think it's summer now.

@kevindente how much memory do you have? 64kb? Are you running Vista on a Commodore 64.

@jzy yeah, but skype has it all in one app .. voice, IM, video, screenshare..

@kevindente PLEASE do not mention the crazy hospital bills in front of @betsyphd , she goes berserk

@nathanbowers I always thought of American Apparel as the new Gap. Mass-marketing cool which inevitably degenerates into the next "new Gap".

@dsearls sure, he twittered at the time of his birth, within a few seconds. Really. http://twitter.com/rockhardawesome/status/1314984401

@splattne ok, @superdalgas is taking a look. We changed some routes and maybe that got broken.

@splattne viewcounts are buffered and written in batches to avoid database hotspots. Not a bug.

@kevindente congrats! boy or girl? name?

@jzy I just got this plantronics foldable headset for laptop use, sound quality is good, nice form factor http://is.gd/CYFi

@mrtweet you know what sucks? you suck. for spamming me.

@alexstapleton that's only a coincidence.

@siracusa just tried it in ie8 and typing "google.com" works in the address bar..?

@DenisBasaric conferring with sales weasels.. we are trying to figure out which part of the email was a "blatant lie". Can you elaborate?

@frohman perhaps ask @superdalgas why he included JSON flair?

@tomaszs2 guns don't kill people, people kill people!

@timbray clearly *some*body has not played Guitar Hero II enough. http://is.gd/A3q0

@dwf plentyoffish.com is actually .NET http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001195.html

@haacked little known fact, @jongalloway and I met in a strip club. Also, he is a lousy tipper.

@carnage4life the root of that Twitter "problem" is @biz utterly failed at his (only?) job, which is to communicate.

@shanselman lol, iPhone battery life is so bad you have to use a netbook battery pack http://twitpic.com/54e51

@deadprogrammer the irony is that Tumbleweed badge is really quite hard to get. I almost made it silver but that sends the wrong message..

@wilshipley has not mentioned that he wrote a web browser today. But the day's not over, yet. #iwroteawebbrowser

@houndeyex wrote a c# app to play #plantsvszombies zen garden mode.. awesome :) http://vimeo.com/4623971

@haacked I still &lt;3 you man, even if we disagree on this encoding issue.

@haacked "answered this question dozens of times.." seems someone needs to write a blog entry!

@haacked hey, I got an idea. How about we HTML encode YOUR FACE as &ugly; ps BURN!

@jongalloway there are no descendants in this case; all siblings in the same set of links (post menu)

@jongalloway no, no, that's absurd. clearly we need 256 *levels* of !important.

@thomasjo sure, have everyone log in as root. good times ensue! (any similarity to Windows living or past is purely accidental..)

@haacked I'm still flaming you for using a view engine that fails to encode output by default. That's like shipping a server as root..

@nathanbowers yeah not too impressed with "Biz", myself. p.s. MY FRIENDS CALL ME SLAPPY!!!

@omarshahine how'd you get the cablecard to work? I heard there are ways involving the ebays.. http://is.gd/zfQD

@kevindente @encosia twitter proving yet again that they don't understand twitter. But not Biz, he totally GETS twitter http://is.gd/zmjG

@danielpunkass there are far worse Qs asked; the worst (IMO) are the "do my homework / write my app" kind. Simple, focused Qs are kinda nice

@danielpunkass yep, and we highlighted your favorite Stack Overflow question this week..

@donpark needs remix with korean dog poop girl http://is.gd/z5yu

@donpark that is one of the oddest videos I have ever seen anyone link, and I'm not quite sure why http://bit.ly/HIVdx

@xpaulbettsx "Service Pack 4? What is there left to fix in XP?" my softwares, let me show you them http://is.gd/yaX8

@madlep as a pure gaming bootloader, no doubt XP will remain the choice for a few more years still.. bring on Service Pack 4!

@wilshipley that's.. not.. weird.. no.. not.. uh.. at.. all.. igottago

@WindyCityEagle yeah, but "free, just enter your credit card" isn't really free, is it?

@nathanbowers indeed, 100% browser fail. Why Are Web Uploads So Painful? http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000964.html

@wilshipley will be on next week's Stack Overflow podcast. It's gonna be leg.. wait for it.. http://is.gd/xGt1

@haacked wow, Google London is pretty awesome -- @jonskeet ? http://bit.ly/WGxb0

@kevindente what a sad ending to the Duke Nukem Forever saga http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/58519

@mrtomahawk honestly? part of the reason to have a kid is so you can play dress-up with them. It really is fun. REAL LIFE ZWINKY!!!

@voidspace give @rockhardawesome a break, he's not even 2 months old yet!

@alexangas (waves hands) no you didn't.

@siracusa that is, like, way too many words on a page without explosions or skateboarding.

@jonskeet I even put our washing machine and dryer on a quality Tripp Lite surge protector after a power surge took them out. :(

@jonskeet no problem, I just voted up your UPS question http://bit.ly/AFImR

@webconverger you're right, technically the first virus I ever had was this Amiga one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCA_virus

@wilshipley play Plants vs. Zombies instead http://www.popcap.com/games/pvz

@cshirky oh, I see. your <airquote>identity thief</airquote> bought plus-size lingerie. Clever.

@nathanbowers hosted gmail hasn't banned me, just randomly rejects 10% of the email I send for vague, incomprehensible reasons. annoying!
