I don't know why Canon doesn't make this sort of focusing screen the standard on their SLRs - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Because if you are a Canon user, Canon hates you. - Brian Johns

This dude was climbing around on this structure before I took the picture. Hence the title. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Really well written. I thought this bit, "Once you throw "publishers can allow this or that" into the mix, all bets are off. I've stopped listening because you just rented me content instead of selling me content," more or less summed up how I felt about that proposal. Even if they'd had a solid answer to the questions surrounding the resale market, it was already going a direction I'd rather not go. - Jennifer Dittrich

Arlan, Kaiser will readily refer members to other facilities for things that Kaiser does not specialize in. My stepmom got stents put in by non-Kaiser doctors and my dad's kidney transplants were done by UCSF, which has definite experts in the field. My problem isn't with the level of care that you get from Kaiser, it's that you have to deal with a cellphone provider level of customer service to get it. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Perhaps this is just yet another case of Microsoft committing a marketing blunder? - Scoble, Alex Scoble

That's the impression that I got, but maybe they really can't do those features with the changes they're implementing. What I don't get is, why couldn't they keep the current system (which just works with physical media) and tack on digital reselling and loaning? I still wouldn't like the fact that MS and/or Publishers could have the means to control resell price or access, but them's the breaks. And that 24 hour check-in is pretty crap when the entire world, much less 100% of America, don't have decent connectivity. - Arlan K.

A bit of perspective on the perceived changes of pace in our lives. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Thanks, Alex and everybody! - Mary B: #TeamMonique

Like "what's the tool that you use to promote a Windows server to become an AD server"? You want me to walk through my process of designing an entire network? Fine. I can do that. You want to know at a higher level what I did? I can talk to that. You want to know about some tweaky detail that any kid can Google in 30 seconds, but I don't need to know at the time because I did that process 7 years ago? Sorry, but we're just not going to be a good fit. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Wow Alex. I hope you didn't WANT that job cuz that guy sounds like he was an ass! - The Other Yvonne

just make sure you don't cut the cheese, please :P - imabonehead

Makes putting on tires so easy and greatly decreases risk of you pinching the tube when you finish the tire. BTW if you are wondering how to use the funky thing, here's a video made by a Portland bike shop http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Scoble, Alex Scoble

The video is pretty funny, btw. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Yep, Bubba, I try to be careful of cherry picking data, but the news I'm hearing from China is rarely good these days. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Yes, welcome to Ordos and 2009. - OCoG of FF, Jimminy

Yeah, mine it doesn't matter, becomes I have no real interest. - OCoG of FF, Jimminy

Here's original rant from the guy and a follow up http://blog.zorinaq.com/?e=74 Interesting to note the original bash of 9-5 people with kids which is then retracted. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

"Oh god, the NTFS code is a purple opium-fueled Victorian horror novel…." - Victor Ganata

[*back-pedaling*] "…I want to stress that we are not insane, and we are not dysfunctional." :D - Victor Ganata

"Look at recent Microsoft releases: we don't fix old features, but accrete new ones. New features help much more at review time than improvements to old ones. (That's literally the explanation for PowerShell. Many of us wanted to improve cmd.exe, but couldn't.)"" - Andrew C (✔)

Wait, what? Didn't that JUST replace a bunch of stuff an Android too? - Soup in a TARDIS

Most everyone uses Windows; what's wrong with you?? :) - Amit Patel

I thought you were plenty outraged. You're an American. - Eric - Final Countdown

Sure, safeguard your privacy as best as you can, but also, continue to challenge official narratives. This whole Global War on Terror bullshit narrative has got to stop. - Victor Ganata
