@anildash I <3 your updates so much, I <4 them.

@a7an "Ask Reddit: Do we really need links to every new Coding Horror post?" http://tinyurl.com/26qxpu my magic 8 ball says "no"

@kevindente the only big perf penalty in a VM is disk access. Everything else is 90%. Get a 2nd spindle for VMs, and disk is better.

@kevindente this is why I always do such beta-y things in a minimal XP virtual PC image.

@jongalloway was referring to Safari on a Mac. Safari on Windows? C'mon man.

@blowdart he should have used a bigger gun, obviously

@waxpancake that's awesome. congrats!

@lazycoder you can either change your company, or you can change your company.

@a7an the xbox 360 you returned for repair, is now showing the RROD too? Sheesh.

@lazycoder I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THAT. *twins*

@blowdart this link is gold. MATHS WIZARDS UNITE! http://tinyurl.com/28no6a

@a7an draggable things have bumpy, friction-esque textures on their surface. Or "handles"

@jongalloway baby duck syndrome http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000921.html I do miss the lack of 8-bit color options, tho :(

@jongalloway it's a very unforgiving health plan. Like my high school coach said -- whatever's wrong with you, I recommend walking it off.

@kevindente I emailed Christian Studer and he said new Ultramon before end of year

@kevindente Do you have latest video drivers? Multi monitors always sleep and wake up OK for me.

@lazycoder you still run a 2001 vintage OS? You are crazy old-school.

@shanselman try @a7an 's WPF Twitter app, Witty

@haacked yep, that is very cool-- the MythBusters do most of their stuff in Alameda, very close to here w/the old naval base. Big big fan.

@lazycoder http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/86-DOS

@shanselman you get out of Twitter what you put into it. You're putting in nothing, so you get nothing.

@kevindente the 32-bit RAM limitations are well known; why I am showing EXACTLY 2 GB of memory when the bios says 4 GB is the mystery.

@lazycoder Apple doesn't care because they sell the world's nicest hardware dongles

@lazycoder yeah and Win95 "ran" in 4 megabytes of memory, too

@a7an NOT MY FAULT! :) I blame @jongalloway

@wilshipley Seriously, what kind of company f**ks over their own third-party developers like that? It's craziness.

@wilshipley the Apple Pirate dilemma. More evidence of the "Apple is now Evil" theory.

@lonelysandwich that's a great ringtone! http://urltea.com/1uzq

@blowdart is an attention whore :) http://tinyurl.com/58rms

@lazycoder someone hire this lazycoder guy! he's good!

@SuperDalgas strangely, keyboards like plain water fine though http://plasticbugs.com/index.php?p=263

@lazycoder we have one of these beeping things at work, it's evil http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/8c52/

@lazycoder I envy the experience you're about to have. Freaks and Geeks is awesome. Fantastic soundtrack as well.

@kevindente welcome to the world of open source. If what you're doing isn't totally mainstream, the tools WILL suck ass

@kevindente I stopped using Amazon S3; the costs are prohibitive with their new per-request charges. Still a great deal for large stuff.

@wilshipley I want a high-five and a kiss, you magnificent bastard

@jongalloway (said the guy who paid $0 for his Zune) I am pro competition, but seriously, have you ever met anyone that PAID for their Zune?

@adkinn what do you mean? my twitter homepage looks identical to me in IE7 and Firefox 2

@lazycoder True, also thankful I'm not SKIRTMAN! http://dale-miller.com/?page_id=41

@haacked are you still coming to San Jose this month? never heard back on that.

@lazycoder I'm a big fan of the D-Link DGL 4100 -- gigabit ethernet, upstream QoS. Means you can torrent with no impact. it really works!

@blowdart I have long since decided that hosting your own SMTP/POP3 mail is a fool's errand. Let hosted google/live mail deal with it.

@haacked, look who else posted a comment http://www.blogger.com/profile/12983025600472588046 SAUCY!

@haacked standard haack procedure.. post first, think later :)

@kevindente are you going to see Spolksy in Emeryville tomorrow? I think I will switch from SF to Emeryville.. so much closer

@jongalloway you make no sense-- why transcode at all if you aren't dumping to a more limited device, eg, Zune/iPod? write a blog post man.

@jongalloway just drag n drop the Media Center recording file into Windows Movie Maker, then publish to "Portable Device (1.0 Mbps)" easy!

@engtech "get a stupidly long headphone cord" so me and my chair can get twice as tangled? I am worried about sound quality, though!

@haacked I heard that MVPs get access to free versions of Camtasia

@kevindente pff, the real vacation is right here in front of this here computer. A MIND FOREVER VOYAGING. Well, that's what I tell my wife.

@haacked not every game takes the herculean time commitment that Oblivion or MMORPGs do. Team Fortress 2 is 15-30 minutes of fun, any time.

@lazycoder I have totally noticed that hot girls in my area ALWAYS want to hook up with me, through ad banners. Can you blame them?

@robzelt that depends what part of California you're talking about, and the time of year..

@lazycoder I use eBay all the time, buying and selling-- I have a purple star, even!

@lazycoder I used to work for a company that sold 911 systems, I've written one myself. Not as glamorous as it sounds.

@lazycoder I admire the chutzpah of a guy who goes right for "craigslist must be down". No Occam's razor for you!

@hotdogsladies at the first symptoms of throat soreness, it's time to gargle salt water, or listerine. It works!

@lazycoder so your argument is that users learn to *like* app on one monitor, menu for app on OTHER monitor? Madness, my friend. Madness.

@jongalloway I run many "computers" inside VMs, I fail to see benefit of an additional physical desktop.. more complexity, cost, power

@lazycoder if you use smart cards, your passwords are practically GUIDs.. they're 64 characters of random unicode string.

@lazycoder tell me about it. Gruber is a fifth-rate nostradamus http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000312.html

@jongalloway blog it, yo. And avoid a novella!

@jongalloway I use Beyond Compare for restartable network file copies. Oh right, you don't pay for software.

@jongalloway when it comes to mobile devices, as the ladies say, "size matters"

@jongalloway it doesn't matter what kind of fancy bloggering tools you use WHEN YOU DON'T WRITE ANY F**KING BLOG ENTRIES. I'm just sayin'.

@lazycoder until now http://www.flickr.com/photos/artofreanimation/1150224454/

@engtech, by "trip to the library" I assume you mean "opening web browser", naturally

@a7an, that content-aware image resizing video is AMAZING - http://tinyurl.com/2wk6ag

@haacked did you read the Internet Disease link? Look closer. Look closer.

@lazycoder my last gmail to you bounced, FYI

@haacked isn't there a lot of historical animosity between Koreans and Japanese? http://tinyurl.com/2bsm6h

@haacked, it's a joke dude. Even from my wife. She's laughing at me, which she does a lot.

@jongalloway oh and by the way, same exact problem in 2008. ENJOY!!!!

@jongalloway if open source, they'd just repackage it all together, but the "MS product trains" left at different times. Server vs client.

@lazycoder, bzzt. wrong. *this* is the best TV theme ever: http://tinyurl.com/yp7rxq

@haacked twitter used to be twittr http://tinyurl.com/23gzuh

@haacked if you like H&K, *definitely* watch How I Met Your Mother. http://rurl.org/7tz Neil Patrick Harris is LEGENDARY in it.

@jongalloway I'm pretty sure browsers came AFTER notepad, so browser textbox > notepad. Tools are for FrontPage wussies.

@jongalloway I did use Visual Studio to edit my last blog post, because it was so long, but other than that, notepad all the way baby.

@lazycoder Papa Roach will be devastated.

@jongalloway: the date and time in the header isn't enough? Sez you, my friend. But yeah, etag header is not THAT much data.

@jongalloway agree, but disabling etag means one less item in the header. The rest of the header contains more than enough info.

@haacked @lazycoder THE DELETE BUTTON HAVE YOU HEARD OF IT

@lazycoder awaiting the inevitable "pocket guide to pocket guides", at which point the world folds in upon itself

@a7an, the quad always has lower RAM scores in the Windows Experience Index. Going to 64-bit helps, will increase your memory score by .5

@jongalloway WHO AUTHORIZED THIS

@jongalloway invest in a REAL chair, man! http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000240.html

@a7an install the Vista Reliability and Performance hotfixes.. they TOTALLY WORK http://tinyurl.com/3e3yzv

@a7an, that's a great video, recommended http://vimeo.com/173714

@SuperDalgas I am wearing my Skookum t-shirt today http://i.pbase.com/t6/39/611339/4/70241324.L7rHBxer.jpg

@lazycoder I'm gettin' real shot down and I'm feelin' mean

@lazycoder you have to give up on the concept of "friends". Communication is overrrated.

@lazycoder oooh, dreamweaver, I believe you can get me through the niiiight

@haacked change your picture, mr. white-out champagne supernova blizzard

@lazycoder, I call complete BS on your line of reasoning. Write a blog post.

@lazycoder spend a few hours with a triple monitor setup. Manipulating windows in any GUI is a colossal waste of time.

@dotnetguy killer iPhone app: "The Internet". Well, minus flash. And saved username/passwords. And things that make safari mobile crash.

@dotnetguy, I got $50 that says there *will* be v2 iPhone hardware within 12 months. :)

@dotnetguy, you can ride the technology waves; there are good times and bad times to buy based on predicted (and known) inflection points.

@dotnetguy iPhone v2 is gonna drop within 12 months. Is $599 worthwhile for 12 months' use, on top of the $500+ you'll pay to go to v2?
