@wilshipley and therein lies PC vs Mac in a nutshell

@iflyhigh I was thinking more of the "Nintendo Seal of Quality" http://tinyurl.com/ymgm2y

@andrewtobin I think he was born without humor glands. There should be a surgery for that.

@dani3l3 you *do* realize I linked your Flickr CYOA photo in the body of my CYOA post, right? :) search for "early programmer books"

@kevindente all of the above. "smooth" scrolling on Firefox is sort of a joke. You have to understand I am HIGHLY sensitive to this.

@kevindente I'm the guy who could see coworkers' CRTs running at 60hz. Firefox just doesn't scroll at native speeds. bugs me personally.

@kevindente I still find Firefox's scrolling performance, even with all tweaks, abhorrent. Feels non-native, and Scrolling Is Fundamental!

@a7an I have a 66:1 follower:following ratio

@Cthulhu_ar your avatar is the dopefish. nice! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopefish

@jongalloway well, maybe you should write a guest blog entry on codinghorror.com explaining that. Or even your own blog.

@carnage4life I saw that, but I still don't understand how shuttering your blog is a "win". Maybe I'm just thick.

@engtech speaking of Canada, what is UP with the AT&T data rates there? Holy crap! My bill was $300 for 5 days! http://tinyurl.com/27lhbw

@andrewtobin and hat tip to you for letting him know, by the way

@andrewtobin argh, stupid rebloggers. Hate dealing with that. Looks like Scoble fixed his link though, which is nice.

@chrisgarrett the very concept is broken. SEO? How about friggin' PEOPLE optimization? As in, writing for and in service of?

@eschaton the larger point is that 1984's programs, even 1996's programs, aren't 2008's programs. Menus do not scale to 1000s of functions.

@eschaton pull-down menus are dead, period. It's a shame one is baked into the very core of OS X.

@eschaton I think drop-down menus are the vestigial tails of UI design at this point http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000724.html

@jongalloway never understood the appeal of synergy. Just remote desktop (or VNC) in on a true triple or quad monitor system.

@wilshipley your avatar is driving me nuts, so muddy. How about this version? http://tinyurl.com/3y9gku

@iflyhigh Apple desktop options are really poor, IMO. Great laptops, but I live on desktops. And I need triple monitor support.

@wilshipley yes but you've locked out the .00001% of users who want to pay you and then not use the program, like me. Wise? I THINK NOT!

@diathesis I have this exact setup (pretty much) at home, too http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000959.html

@jongalloway yeah but you have 3 kids. I agree once you have kids, health care = mandatory. Not so sure for couples or just plain dudes.

@kevindente I'm on the High School Gym Coach health plan. I MAN UP AND WALK IT OFF! Broken legs are a challenge on this plan, however.

@dehora "They Live" is essential viewing on so many levels http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096256/

@kevindente so you're saying the movie "Brazil" accurately captures the flavor of our current health care system? +1

@dehora Hot Fuzz is good, but unfortunately a pale shadow of Shaun of the Dead

@wilshipley is the world ready for us to announce our secret, world-changing, segway-esque project yet?

@jongalloway "lost a bunch of work on a weblog post" you don't save your work on the server periodically as a draft post? I do, always

@shanselman I have a difficult time understanding health care. I've never once been to the doctor in 5 years so far. Maybe w/kids?

@shanselman no worries, I take attribution very seriously, I *always* link back to sources unless it's literally impossible

@shanselman "You should link the Turkey Test Passed image back to Moser" ermm.. it's been linked the whole time?

@bradwilson Hello Kitty is love. Maybe that's what you haters can't understand! :)

@kevindente yeah but do you get FREAKY FACE GUY? I think not. http://tinyurl.com/yupdvh

@engtech are 1000 facebook "friends" equal to even one real world friend?

@engtech I haven't gotten any. Good thing I have no friends: it makes my life so much simpler.

@carnage4life I got nothin' but platonic love and respect :)

@carnage4life your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your blog RSS feed!

@destraynor 4,350 people, actually, although I suppose 4,351 if you consider that I said it myself in my original tweet ;)

@kevindente welcome to the inside of @jongalloway 's bald head, it's a little something I like to call "CRAZYTOWN!1!"

@shanselman XXX explicit? or just NC-17?

@shanselman what's wrong with inference? Isn't Ruby, and the web in general, a giant hairy furball of inference? Seems to be popular.

@a7an that's because there's only ever really one instance of firefox.exe anyway.. so there's really only one "firefox" window.

@jongalloway as you once said to me, "just stop making mistakes!" I have never once needed system restore, but I use VMs, unlike you. :)

@timbray but then how will I feed my knob-twiddling addiction? Oh, look, a giant options dialog.. mmm.. (clickclickclick)

@kevindente you have system restore enabled? I always turn it off immediately, along with uac, defender, firewall, etcetera. I like perf.

@engtech have you tried fascism? For managing your followers, I mean.

@jongalloway did you know that Inkscape hates you? http://tinyurl.com/2ju99z

@wilshipley I apply the same rule to Sarah Lacey I apply to everyone: just be good at your fsking job! Is that really asking so much?

@shanselman I had pretty good luck with SvnBridge, but the last "official" release lags behind the latest version by quite a bit FYI

@shanselman I like that Phil's onebox has "Last Night a Doctor Saved My Nut" in it.. LOL , search for "haacked"

@darrell thanks for the mp3 recording of my captcha word. Check out the Captcha entry now! :)

@shanselman I mean when you Google for "hanselman" you get a bunch of direct links to blog posts under results: Tools List | About Me | etc

@kneath damn it, man, I'm a programmer!! but umm, yeah. whoops.

@cisellis you ever seen *Arrington* conduct an interview? I refer you to http://twitter.com/codinghorror/statuses/45165952 from previous MIX

@kevindente yeah, MSDN forum renders poorly in all browsers (IMNSHO) but *especially* poorly in FF3

@tearan I've used Movable Type on my main blog since 2004 (and static HTML has saved my butt); experimenting with WordPress for future stuff

@kevindente well, there are political reasons those [flash/adblock] can't be in the base browser. Would be funny though if someone tried.

@kevindente what I think is wrong: becoming completely dependent on an extension for core experience. I should bloggerate that actually.

@kevindente yeah but that one's not a deal breaker, it's a nice to have. I've always said the FF extension ecosystem is its strongest point!

@kevindente you are the wind beneath my wings. Also, I'm your huckleberry. I'm not sure what any of this means.

@scorpion032 botched interview of Mark Z from Facebook. Really really painfully bad. http://tinyurl.com/2os2t2

@openskymedia Firebug works in FF3b4, but you must have the latest-greatest-beta version. As for WDE, try what @tclancy suggested -- hackit!

@lazycoder yeah, Silverlight sucks at multiple monitors. You can't do *anything* when a window is fullscreen, otherwise it minimizes.

@jongalloway AFAIK Scott K. can't move. It is depressing to have to choose between career and family, but that's life.

@jongalloway FF3b4 is working fine for me. AdBlock works, Firebug works. Your problem is a crippling reliance on random extensions.

@jfanaian 1.0.5 doesn't work but 1.1.0b12 does

@kevindente is firefox beta 4 out yet? or whatever the latest formal release is?

@senordanimal link it up in the comments! hadn't heard of it.. until now

@waxpancake it'd be hilarious if someone griefed the griefing panel

@cisellis no, it's just that our company internet connection kinda sucks. Fix is in the works according to Scott, though.

@kevindente doesn't the Twitter API tend to have problems on days of the week ending in "day"?

@jonathancoulton "Dippin Dots is the ice cream of a future that I don't want any part of." I've often thought the same thing! LOL

@adityavm the PHP language makes Basic look like the work of elite computer science PhD ninjas

@jongalloway for example, this site by someone I respect is WordPress. http://www.giantbomb.com/ bonus fun, try clicking the images

@junior882 I know, some of the signal/noise is out of control on internet forums. It's bad -- voodoo computing at its worst

@carlfish I also like the way Second Life is apparently not connected to anything else on the graph. Appropriate.

@casualjim no idea, the Ubuntu Server 7.10 installer never gets past text mode. Fails at "detecting hardware"

@kevindente don't believe you. blog it.

@latish good idea, didn't think of rotating a layer! Would love it if Windows 7 replaced useless Paint with Paint.NET

@dani3l3 indeed, early programmer books.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dani3l3/2168597987/

@i386 I'm pretty sure he was referring to the MS employee there, not me. I got nothin' but respect, hence the outcry

@omarshahine USB 2.0 throughput is a **wee** bit lower than PCI Express. 4 GB/sec vs. 0.05 GB/sec. Try playing some full screen video.

@jdonnici you are soooo gay. embrace it!

@a7an I don't see any pics or video or anything of your performance.. is there any?

@a7an any update on the Rock Band competition? I never heard. What was the winning score?

@wilshipley this might make you feel better http://tinyurl.com/2hv863

@wilshipley I gotta say the sickness part of "in sickness and in health" is overrated. Hope you feel better.

@a7an what was the winning Rock Band score?

@carnage4life I said my piece. Your voice will be missed.

@carnage4life per Brad Abrams "The key to most PM jobs is leading and influencing others." You're a PM. Let me think how I'd do that.. hmm..

@carnage4life you continue to define this as either-or. You can blog and do other things too, miraculously. Just ask ScottGu.

@omarshahine no doubt iPhone v2 is gonna be epic (gps, 3g, etc) but I think tethering support is .. unlikely. Would be nice tho.

@IDisposable before I do that I want to know why my CSS breaks under IE8 strict standards mode..

@IDisposable great photo :)

@IDisposable good luck with the INSANE IE8 text box behavior. Also, I hope you have lots of hair on your head to pull out before you're bald

@IDisposable I am officially ignoring IE8 until beta 2, and you should too

@haacked see, I do too take my own advice. Not often enough, it's true, but sometimes.
