pour all of your money into Mississippi. make it work there. it needs it - and if you make it work then it will work for real.

what happens when 10 skiers all release their lily cameras at the same time and womp it down a slope at variable speeds ?

Sadly, google was just easier to type.

Thanks!

Did they really just sign their shut-down notice with the words 'peace out'? I don't know why im surprised. Those two words sum up quite compactly the i-tell-myself-and-my-customers-i-give-a-shit-about-them-and-my-product-but-when-it-comes-down-to-it-i-honestly-could-care-less-ness that seems so prevalent in startup culture right now. What happened to genuinely giving a shit? I could actually summon a degree of respect for their decision if they had at least been real enough about it and added 'suckers' to the very end.

I really wish the links to his sources weren't dead.

Once we recreate every single transition available on 90's era video mixers with javascript can we start using the language to actually break new ground?

If you care about your product you have to draw a line somewhere. The more developers that take a stance and don't support the criminal negligence of IE's support of broadly accepted standards the sooner we can all eliminate needless time costs of making sites agnostic to the point of stupidity.

So tired of misleading headlines like this that pump up engineer ego... stop feeling better than everybody and work with people as good as you think you are -- or stop complaining.

One man's great design is another man's piece of shit, so ignore design feedback -- social software lives and dies by three words... community, community, community.

Don't worry. I'm sure their bosses are patting them on the back.

Look. I am personally against mob mentality in most scenarios, but given the current circumstances I honestly believe that the formation of a mob aligned in opposition to this bill is exactly what is required. Due to this issue's nebulous technical nature the folks in charge and the general population have an unconscionably limited perspective and there is little to no real awareness of the proposed act or its potential consequences in the collective consciousness. SOPA should be immediately halted with extreme prejudice and the real issues should be thoroughly reconsidered in an open forum with policy makers, entrepreneurs, experts, and citizens working together to create a legitimate policy that is levelheaded and forward thinking. Beyond the minority of us who are actually clued in to the guts of SOPA and it's consequences there is no genuine geography of dissent. Shame. In other words... Aunt Trish needs to have a day without facebook so everyone will start actually talking about this stuff.

So now you just have to endow the majority of the population with the same level of curiosity and desire for open critical discourse as a computer scientist. Have fun with that.

shouldn't the question really be "why is what you're building only possible or necessary tomorrow?"

About.me's stereotypical journey through the hypemachine complete with mysterious codename (PumpkinHead) & oddly well-timed endorsements by tech world all-stars all culminating in a sale to AOL only 4 days after launch feels very slimey and speculative to me. The fact that AOL shelled out amigo-money for what is -- let's be honest here -- the social networking equivalent of bench ads for real estate agents is beyond me, but all of these complaints distract from the biggest glaring annoyance of this whole thing... Why on earth do I need ANOTHER profile page?

delicious should have marketed itself to the mainstream as a search engine with a 100% human curated database
