Scoble, Alex Scoble

Happy birthday , MC! - WoH: Professor MOTHRA

happy birthday mc! - Sir Shuping is just sir

i was confused about what you were talking about and had to read it several times. I thought you were talking to Microsoft when you said, "Sorry, you need to reboot. That isn't scalable. That isn't manageable." LOL - OCoG of FF, Jimminy

Jimminy, Microsoft does indeed need to reboot the Windows OS if they want to be a long term player in the enterprise space. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

I know, which was why it was confusing. - OCoG of FF, Jimminy

Cristo revisionism is not history and if it was Libertarian that's a bigger fail since it was rejected #sorrythanxforplaying - WarLord

oh, thundershirts - holly #ravingfangirl

now *that's* relaxed... or something similar - Meg VMeg

Particularly if you've ever purchased something and I said something like "why the heck did you buy that?" - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Yes. This is called "public health." ;-) - Jessie

Yeah, complex problems usually need to be attacked on multiple fronts. If you have a systemic health issue, whether it be disease, smoking, automobile related fatalities, etc., there are things that need to be done at the macro level and at the individual level if you want to have success. For instance, in the infection example, a country can make sure that there's plenty of supply of antibiotics and vaccines, but at the individual level, people need to make sure that they get vaccinated and when they do get sick to properly go through the entire course of antibiotics. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

If you are interested in helping out in the next seven days donations will be matched dollar for dollar if you include the code "INSPIRE". Thanks :) - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Post things that make people think, not stuff that make people want to flame you or ignore you. Do better. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Johnny, you raise silliness to an art form. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

That we'd get better results by getting the wealthy and corporations to understand that they do better when they create value instead of just creating profit. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

And anyways, the goal in "convincing the overclass" would be to cut down their propaganda that keeps [enough of] us proles voting against their own self-interest. Seems to me directly convincing the 99% would be a less circuitous route to that goal. - Andrew C (✔)

Make no mistake, though, at the end of the day, the science is clear on both topics. 2nd hand smoke is real and harmful and climate change is real and a serious threat to our society as we know it. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Who paid these guys ? http://select.nytimes.com/gst... - Eric Logan

Using a strawman? Sorry, ignored as irrelevant. Trying to poison the well? Sorry, argue the facts not the source of the facts. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

I'm sure that Akiva will run into this and laugh with disdain. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Because yes, I used to be the poster boy for strawmen, moving the goal posts, poisoning the well, etc. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Thank you, Alex! - Adrian

Happy Bday! - Steve C, Team Marina

I've really enjoyed that one as well. I like that they're making both sides deliberately ambiguous. You root for the heroine, not because she is fighting for 'right,' but because she seems like she is trying to be a good person most of the time. - Jennifer Dittrich

I guess that depends on your goals in going back. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

i wouldn't mind going back to 1978 and being a spectator in the life of my small (back then) city. the hard part would be making sure that i didn't interfere in any meaningful way. - Big Joe Silenced

Because a lot of people don't care about kids in general, they just care about *their* kid. - Spidra Webster

the openly stated goal of many in the GOP is the destruction of public education. they got theirs. - Big Joe Silenced

What the heck do people like Michelle Rhee know about education? Nothing. She taught for three years! She's not an expert in education because you don't become an expert in something like that after doing it for only three years, but that's exactly the problem with education today. We put people like her in charge of schools based on what? It most certainly isn't based on any competent understanding of how education works or doesn't! - Scoble, Alex Scoble

As long as we continue to entrust the future of our education system to people who have never been there, have never had a stake in it, have simply done the minimum time in teaching in order to move up the ladder, we will continue to get the results that we have now. Put on top of that people voting putting people in school boards who are outright anti-teacher and what do people expect? Why so many people are so obviously against the education system is something that I'll never understand. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Yep, loved it. - Todd Hoff

yes, really liked it - ellbeecee

pie, jif, sodough, dogs - #allOthersAreSImplyWrong - Kevin Johnson

I was sort-of giving this the side-eye, until midway through where the author clearly defines the difference between using the phrase to mean "I can think what I want" vs. "you have to take what I think seriously." - Jennifer Dittrich

I think the other side to it is that although people may not be entitled to their opinions, you have limited options when it comes stopping them from spouting their erroneous opinions if they won't engage in any sort of rational debate. - WoH: Professor MOTHRA

Then everybody just stopped arguing with you. #thatswhenthefightingstarted - OCoG of FF, Jimminy

There we go. - Todd Hoff

Yay Open Source? - Victor Ganata

I don't think Office even tries to look at the content for several different "text" type formats. Annoying, since at least for myself, I'm far more likely to being using a comma or some other delimiter. - Jennifer Dittrich

LO always asks me about which delimiter is used and defaults to the setting of the last file I opened. Unfortunately it seems to have trouble with recognizing dates, but I can fix that in the dialogue box as it's opening the file. - John (bird whisperer)

Heh, yeah, John, that is the behavior that I'm experiencing, so perhaps it's not a factor of LibreOffice being smarter, but just having better overall UI design. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Step 2a is to harvest all information for better ad targeting, step 2b is to sell ads. - Andrew C (✔)

Step 5: get all users to use Google+ instead. - Steven Perez
