@gHeidenreich sorry meant @ncurado

@wilshipley something funky going on with twitterholic; last I checked it was minimum 3000+ followers to even crack the top 100, + inflation

@jagregory I reject your reality and substitute my own!

@cadbloke trying to show @betsyphd something faster than "upload this folder full of 1.21 jigapixel camera images"..

@a7an just found this post on one-click batch image resizing thx! http://is.gd/cwW

@wilshipley would you say AdWords, as implemented, is basically so fraud-ridden that it is essentially worthless?

@seanodotcom the optimus is a horrible keyboard in actuality. I learned this lesson from my ErgoDex DX1 in 2005.

@migueldeicaza there's a git# project? cool! link to project?

@jongalloway anti-virus "protects" you from viruses, but what protects you from the robots? http://is.gd/ctl

@anandiyer sure.. "The Holes in Your Nose", "The Gas We Pass", "Breasts", "All About Scabs", and so on. Classics!

@anandiyer oh yeah, Everyone Poops is a classic. There's some other children's books in the same vein as well.

@jongalloway is proudly part of the anti-virus placebo problem.. http://tinyurl.com/6p2xhu

@rjray exactly. money is a universal converter for talent. Well, in theory, anyway. Help ME help YOU.

@superdalgas remember this? http://is.gd/aPf

@paoloq @solotech @jongalloway have you read the Amazon reviews for the "Skype Phones"? Scathing. Really, really bad. Prefer PSTN emulator

@paoloq I am only considering things that work with all computers in the house OFF. Skype doesn't do that -- it's computer-centric.

@betsyphd OK, you buy the iPhone 2.0 then in June. Up to you.

@shanselman agree, the nuvi made sense even at $400+, but now it's pretty much a no-brainer at $170 shipped

@wilshipley bros before hos http://youtube.com/watch?v=QGzJ_Sptlfg

@kevindente I'm imaginine audio Clippy. "It sounds like you're talking about football! Did you know that ESPN.. "

@wilshipley you wear pants? whyfore? http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/6751/vennpantsoa9.png

@pvponline be careful, when Shipley says "let's drink" he really means "hang out with a bunch of women at his place" YMMV!

@kevindente only if you want old-school equivalent 911 service, wireline is optional. $0 month for phone service, no computers powered on.

@jongalloway you understand I'll be cancelling my wired telco line service, so "paying" for hardware pays for itself in < 1 year

@jongalloway skypein "on your computer". The entire point is to cut the computers out of that loop. But then how will they show us ads??

@jongalloway IOW, skype doesn't entirely cut the computer out of the equation like ooma does, which is part of the attraction

@jongalloway yeah, there are concerns about viability -- but Skype can't work with my cordless phones or handle incoming land # calls either

@wilshipley so let me make sure I understand you. You're saying his penis is very, very large? Am I getting this right?

@garthk I'm not the best person to ask-- start with Bill's DVCS post http://tinyurl.com/4pgz9o

@bradwilson hit numpad star on your SVN root folder. I double-dog-dare you. That is the cost of "offline" mode, and it ain't pretty. :)

@jongalloway mostly, bad case of programmer UI. I don't seem to have the raft of data loss and inexplicable computer failures that you do :)

@garthk yeah, svnmerge.py is basically built into Team System branching/merging. I guess I didn't appreciate how much it sucked in SVN.

@lazycoder yep, the overlays were out of date. @mrjoy the UI *is* the application. Feeling new respect for Team System source control.

@kneath I know, Git is a different/better merge model, but the SVN merge model is really poorly implemented in the UI, which hurts. A lot.

@lazycoder not for www.foo vs. foo rewriting, that I can tell. MVC isn't mod_rewrite.

@jongalloway @shanselman with all due respect to ASP.NET, that comparison is crap. Click through to the videos and see why. http://is.gd/c6a

@bullines better than mouse and keyboard? Ah, therein lies the rub. :)

@mboffin this favico problem went far beyond ctrl+f5, believe me. Weird caching rules on FF3 and IE7.

@bradwilson Wii Rock Band: giving up 150+ DLC tracks, as well as band world tour mode and characters (no 3D, just pre-rendered movies).

@jongalloway IE6 is evil, but yeah, you only get favicons there if you add to favorites in my VM testing. Oh, VMs. I wub you.

@kevindente ah, I had to "delete all" cache, and there it goes. Weird. Just deleting temp files alone did nothing. FAVICON!!!!1!

@kevindente you are seeing a favicon for http://blog.stackoverflow.com in IE7? I definitely am not. Tested in an IE6 VM as well. None.

@hotdogsladies I've got.. two tickets and a pair of dice! Won't you pack your bags we'll leave tonite!

@cisellis "Wii 'friend codes' are pretty much GUIDs" Nintendo does not grok online gaming.

@nmalaguti is looking for the best "learning Visual Studio and .NET" book -- recommendations?

@nmalaguti I generally prefer to recommend books about "why" to program; the "how" takes care of itself http://is.gd/bQr

@kaneraz you have to give up on the idea of Mario Kart as a "racing" game and embrace it as a semi-random fighting game.

@tatehansen I can't deal with headphones that actually stick *in* my ears. Tried 'em and they totally freaked me out. Couldn't deal.

@cisellis planning to show up at the Maker Faire tomorrow around 10am; see you around then!

@jongalloway I appreciate the concern, but I think it is unwarranted; fear is the enemy (eg chilling effects). I ain't chilled.

@camsoper rather than go after mass distributors, they'll spend enforcement budget on 1 citizen doing 0 distro? Illogical; irrational.

@mikeperry don't think I've ever wanted that. Wanted a way to drag a tab out as a new instance of the browser ala Safari

@jongalloway if a law cannot be practically enforced, is it still a law? Is it illegal to post links to and screenshots of handbrake? Nope.

@mkamp of course, the percentage of taxes paid is what's relevant http://is.gd/bc1

@timbray sure, twitter delete works, I use it about once a week

@LaTtEX of course, you can clone a drive to any size, even external USB (assuming data fits). It clones during Windows pre-boot!

@shanselman I think the Air is one of the least recommendable Apple computers at the moment. They went too far, and for the wrong reasons.

@seesharp @cisellis you don't understand; WoW is the new golf http://blogs.vertigosoftware.com/jatwood/archive/2006/02/16/2182.aspx

@nmalaguti I think autogk conflicts with some of the codecs I already have on my HTPC. It ran, but when I clicked "go" it did.. nothing.

@idisposable it should matter if you rip/encode DVDs all day. Unfortunately on two machines w/2 diff rippers, seeing 50-60% utilization.

@betsyphd yeah, I know, I got the origin of Jumping the Shark slightly wrong in the podcast. My bad. Maybe I've jumped the shark.

@richi remote desktop protocol is faster -- MUCH faster. Funny to hear Joel admit he prefers RDP to his own Copilot service for that reason.

@oldmanuk source is http://www.scorehero.com/ front page link to forum

@wilshipley one of my all time favorite strips A+++ would read again http://www.whiteninjacomics.com/comics/pie.shtml

@njl Vincent Gallo, keepin' it classy http://tinyurl.com/2yjkko

@encosia trust me, there aren't

@encosia can you blog the process, please? There's very little GOOD info on how to do this in a sensible, reputable way

@kevindente people forget how incredibly, crazily expensive those early Macs were. Far better now of course, but then.. damn.

@wilshipley my critical Apple life moment: I chose the Amiga over the //gs. Haven't been back since. I remember calling Apple to get deets.

@wilshipley just for that I am sending you a zombie poke, attacking with vampires, and spraying graffiti on your super wall. bitch.

@wilshipley yeah, but the joke's on them, because my scorn is worth NEGATIVE 67 billion dollars! Take that, suckers!

@carnage4life you don't SEEM like you're having fun. I'm just sayin'. Doug's blog looks awesome, btw, very cool stuff going on there.

@carnage4life maybe you should apply to work on that team, perhaps you'd be happier?

@shanselman great post on OpenID! http://www.hanselman.com/blog/TheWeeklySourceCode25OpenIDEdition.aspx

@cisellis @jongalloway is a big fan of "previous versions"

@wilshipley I'm actually a huge Koons fan, so I know what you're referring to. They chose some of his other stuff.. obviously :)

@nevali OIC, so the iPhone passwords are sort of irrelevant

@jongalloway unless you have specific benchmark data, just obsessively read the last 10 years of CPU reviews, like I have; it's right there

@jongalloway I do find your beliefs fascinating, and wish to subscribe to your newsletter, but benchmark data unfortunately says otherwise.

@gruber back when Apple made *real* keyboards: http://tinyurl.com/5rdtlh

@jongalloway unfortunately those "good parallel libraries" apply to about .05% of the problems software is trying to solve.

@robertmiller people *radically* underestimate the effort of reinventing programming as we know it to accommodate multicore. 10-20 yrs min.

@wilshipley OVERSHARE

@LaTtEX yet another reason the internet inevitably will win.

@wilshipley I'd hit it. Of course, I'd hit most Victoria's Secret mannequins, so take that with a Montana-sized salt lick.

@cdtdelta yep-- it's at the bottom of my post, the top 5 books! Code Comp, Don't Make Me Think, Peoplware, Prag Prog, and Facts & Fallacies

@omarshahine it's miller time!

@mhinton you certainly have a TN LCD when you move your head up/dn about 6 inches, the color cast changes significantly from top to bottom.

@anandiyer do they do.. stuff? involving.. people? with.. things?!?

@LaTtEX one of my favorite tweets: "They dont get you!" popularity has its downsides, and *frequent* *deep* misunderstandings is one of 'em

@betsyphd why must you insist on laughing at the "DeBarge" folder in our music share? The Rhythm of the Night shall not be denied.

@a7an congratulations on new baby!

@carnage4life why is mainstream important? For making money? The Spice Girls were mainstream, too.

@paulwhit HD playback hardware is from my current blog post, natch. Yes, I know my display sucks, and thus by association, I suck :)

@kevindente maybe you should blog about why VMWare is worth $200. I just fastest-RAR my VM disk files to take a snapshot.

@solotech yeah, but "free" VMPlayer pretty much sucks. Even Virtual PC is better.

@kevindente doesn't VMWare cost money? "We Don't Use Software That Costs Money Here."

@Ang3lFir3 not all work is created equally; not all work is compensated equitably

@davebost see @joel_tulloch links on how to install ubuntu on MS virtualization (thx)

@davebost ah, brings back fond childhood remembrances of picking up hookers, beating them up, and then taking their money.. sigh.
