@wilshipley PAX squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

@wilshipley strangely that Rhianna observation *also* seems to apply to every tweet of yours. Really. He's a huge whore. Do him.

@_pulsar_ you're right; mea culpa. "$1\$2$3" does work in a replacement regex string; I was relying too heavily on regexbuddy

@dehora 5200rpm drive easily, USB2 is too narrow a pipe

@omervk no price tag means the same thing it always did : if you have to ask, you can't afford it

@sidarok re: 5,000th follower: a set of fabulous steak knives is in the mail. Although following the herd is its own reward, really.

@anandiyer a likky boom boom down? http://tinyurl.com/yuruoz

@madtech I stand corrected; you can use the DM form to DM people who don't follow you. Just not the "d name" command.

@robcthegeek you're proposing I follow everyone that follows me? How does *that* scale? Twitter needs to allow DMs from people I've @ msged.

@solarce Obsessed with the Best Two Man Novelty Band on the planet? Sounds like a problem. Don't click this. http://is.gd/1Q05

@betsyphd they need to make some delicious chocolate milk with Obama's VP ticket. Mmmm. FULL FAT.

@betsyphd black guy and brown guy -- you don't think that might be a bit much for some parts of America to swallow?

@simonj see, what about http://www.foo.com(stuff) ?

@simonj primarily because human beings like to put URLs in parens (like so) and it's awkward to tell what's what.

@ianfnelson daily vote limits are here to stay; prevents massive rep inflation. We can increase the # though

@accordionguy wow, some of those commercials are WAY obscure. Kevin Costner for Apple's Lisa?? http://tinyurl.com/2fmd8u

@HMXCasey I'm not worthy! p.s. have you guys gone gold yet? Hurry the hell up. Slackers. Damn.

@jzy oh yes, bacon salt: http://www.baconsalt.com/

@jezell maybe, but the query we always deadlock on, according to Profiler, makes zero sense.

@phuqker disagree; SQL server treats our Q&A DB like it's someone's bank account. We don't need banking accuracy on reads.

@shanselman we're having to finally use the hammer of thor on SQL 2k5 deadlocks -- setting read uncommitted on the db context :(

@hotdogsladies Dude, you get up before I've gone to bed. Just sayin'.

@superdalgas where the heck did this Mr. T tattoo come from?? http://is.gd/1MWQ

@mattgrommes correct. Not *supposed* to be about discussion except what's necessary to answer the dang question. Still, it happens.

@mattgrommes Stack Overflow is for any questions -- the kind that can actually be *answered* -- about programming.

@wilshipley NEW BLOG TAGLINE! "Wil Shipley: Microsoft Suck Dick Macbook Air Matas Depression Coding Tips"

@carnage4life just got an a email from a teammate "Wow, a RSS reader that actually works -- RSS Bandit" (w/r/t question/answer threading)

@mdavid we'd need conditional-to-specific-font CSS selectors. As in, your CSS would have to *know* an unusually small font was being used

@lazycoder no, em does not work for fonts that are inherently sized smaller; @simonsc setting +0.5px makes fallback fonts HUGE

@siracusa I argued that we shouldn't use the idselector control at all -- just a textbox -- but the team overruled me

@neslekkim pretty sure we're not missing any major obvious indexes.. now the field1-field2-field3 type, maybe

@spatacoli I went back to ÀÈÌÒÙàèìòùÁÉÍÓÚÝá éíóúýÂÊ ÎÔÛâêîôûÃÑÕ ãñõÄËÏÖÜäëïöüçÇßØøÅåÆæÞþÐð

@marxidad thanks for [\u0000-\uFFFF] tip, our client username regex JS is now using that to validate displaynames for new users

@kevindente @jcsalterego good idea, you can use a boot cd to run memtestx86 to rule out memory. No repave for that.

@kevindente you could also have bad/failed hardware, but there's no way to know that without a clean OS install

@eridius I really wish I could downmod twitter responses right about now :)

@bakasan @kevindente you realize this is why the MacBook was the "fastest" Windows Vista laptop, right? Only 1 with clean no-crap install!!

@kevindente repave with SP1 image and don't install any Lenovo craplets

@jongalloway "I am a new vista user. I am unable to find my registry on Vista.
Help."

@samiq @bradwilson thanks -- keep the stackoverflow.uservoice.com fixes and tips coming!

@hotdogsladies management is interrupt-driven, but good managers know the difference between "management" and "real work", too

@jcsalterego provided a fix for the float:left and float:right size:auto desired "go underneath when you're larger" -- <nobr></ ...

@siracusa @wilshipley well, I guess they're letting just ANYONE use the best equipment now. Harrumph!

@edraper spend it on Rock Band DLC instead ;) Next week: Devo and Duran Duran

@dougfinnie ICUH8N

@NathanBowers wow, you're almost (literally) within walking distance from where I am. We should meet up.

@KirinDave is squirrelfish (JavaScript optimizing craziness) shipping in any mainstream browser? When it is, I'd love to revisit.

@timbray @therealadam well, you're both wrong. User joy is, quite literally, the *only* thing that matters. Other crap is noise.

@meyerweb you're quite welcome -- I own two of 'em now! http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001078.html

@wilshipley Like you, I'm a pessimist who hates people, and all, but even *I* can't quite imagine an audience that dumb.

@wilshipley I'm just trying to imagine how retarded the viewers would have to be to accept "Mojave Experiment" as, y'know, actual *science*.

@timbray don't forget Ted Dziuba (of Uncov web 2.0 deconstruction fame) now writes for the Reg as well. http://is.gd/1o3K

@scobleizer wow, many thanks for the huge bump! http://is.gd/1o1a .. boy, now the pressure is *really* on..

@hotdogsladies holistay!

@jongalloway "christmas-time" part transmogrifying into "yom-kippur" and "ra-ma-dan" is slaying me. "and do all your shopping @ WAL-MART!"

@jongalloway I had forgotten about that "scientifically created worst song ever" http://tinyurl.com/55bl9d pretty amazing listen, actually

@pschorf to be fair, track four is a really bad cover of "having my baby". It's not as .. er.. good.. as.. the .. er.. real song.. uh..

@cisellis hooked me up with a ticket to PAX. what a guy!! http://is.gd/1nE2

@jeremyross Stack Overflow is actually three things smushed together -- wiki + forum + rank/rep. I know, it's a Menudo! http://is.gd/1nCL

@scobleizer our strategy with Stack Overflow: "do something awesome!" well, that, and build large, quality blog audiences..

@cbenard OK, now I see: http://twitter.com/Scobleizer/statuses/884505837

@skrenta what about a million bucks? ten million? Could get there eventually.

@NathanBowers PageRank is a logarithmic scale, so I'm planning to be at 6 until I'm dead

@jeremiahclark we spent 2 weeks researching every QA site on the internet for Stack Overflow. Check this one out: http://is.gd/8Pt

@hotdogsladies "Does anyone still wear double-popped collars?" http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/136225

@lazycoder you bring up a good point; google calendar will alert you via email which may be "good enough". popped polo collar SMS = bad.

@lazycoder you want warnings / alarms to go off on the phone when your next calendar appointment is coming up, that's why.

@lazycoder wow, I did search but somehow missed http://www.nuevasync.com/ -- will try

@betsyphd is enjoying her new iPhone! one snag: is it possible to sync with Google Calendar over HTTP (no docking required)?

@rexm I'm just sayin'. If you're going to call the world flat, you better have a dump truck full of proof to back that up.

@mdhughes you should email Jan directly; AFAIK he's one of the leading Regex people in the world. But maybe you're smarter than him.

@mdhughes has anything you've ever posted or twittered actually been correct? I'm thinking no.

@mdhughes read it and weep. Twice, because you're reading about regex. http://tinyurl.com/czfcw

@hotdogsladies you just blew my mind-hole. totally satisfied.

@hotdogsladies I am ready at #start08 bring tha noise BRING THE PAIN!

@dpn @marshallk ok, mea culpa -- I apologize if I painted with too broad a brush w/r/t rww. I blame Arrington.

@marshallk sorry, Arrington has ruined the genre for me. VC pornography; money is the most prurient interest of all.

@wilshipley OK, fine. You drive a hard bargain. I've got three words for you: "full release iPhone". NO MORE WITHOUT SIGNED NDA.

@wilshipley mmm, but imagine if the iMacs weren't the only thing for sale at the Apple store? knowwhatimsayin? now SIGN MY NDA!

@jessieshmessie that's why it's under NDA!! Millions could be made! And that's not even counting what Wil would pay!

@wilshipley so I've got this idea.. it's about these attractive women working at apple stores who have bare midriffs.. SIGN MY NDA FOR MORE

@uservoice the back button does not behave anything even remotely close to what I expect on your site. It's infuriating. I use new tabs...

@cisellis shouldn't you be working like a dog on your work stuff at all hours of the day, and not browsing Facebook?
