Roberto, no hubble data :) It is just a badly written query that I need to determine the best way to fix. - Rob Diana
Acedanger, a query that runs for a few hours is a data warehouse transformation. Most databases will timeout a query after 15 minutes anyway, unless you change the configuration. - Rob Diana
To be fair, in that circle, assets that top a million is nothing... I know people in their mid 20's that are worth more than her. :\ - Mona N.
Reminds me of how right after Clinton loaned her campaig $5M, she started sounding populist messages. It - Faboo Mama
The point is that she is claiming to not be of that circle, that she is just like the average American, though according to the 2004 Survey of Consumer Finances published by the Federal Reserve median net worth was $93.1 thousand and even the mean skewed by the super-rich was $448.2 thousand. - Kevin Bondelli
you keep on telling yourself that Biden got anywhere on that debate. I think you are in denial. face it buster.... she whipped'cha - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ
Haha... style over substance there Noah? In my book you have to answer the questions to score a point. I'm old fashioned that way, but to me debates are not speeches given standing side by side. - Jason Carreira
I think i'm going to call myself a maverick for a few days - acedanger
I'm putting "maverick" on my webpage. - orionstarr
As I'm thinking back on the debate, not a lot stands out. The spots that do stand out are the 2 Biden angry rants (one about Iraq, one debunking the "maverick" title), Biden's emotional moment about his family, and when Palin said "Say it ain't so, Joe" and I wanted to punch her... Looking back on it now it's clearly a win for Biden. - Jason Carreira
Her daring to utter the phrase "women's rights." - Trish R
u sound like the nihilist... "It isn't fair!" ...gots ur ass kicked by a girl. PALIN FTW! - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ
the excessive use of the word "maverick", the refusal to answer questions. I'm annoyed at Biden for not calling her out more, aside from the Bridge to Nowhere. Her insistence that the VP role be increased. - Mavericks of A-sauce!

Get a package of Sprees. Hit them with a hammer until it is a fine sugary pixie dust and then just scoop up the powder as fast as possible. - Andrew Leyden
She has an obvious lack of confidence. And her lack of knowledge is a trainwreck. Especially on the campaign priding itself on experience. - Andrew Burd
Dear America. Please don't elect this clown. Love, Rest of the World. - thomasrdotorg
Katie asked some tough questions! Do we believe any politicians in this day and age? - Chris Herbert
Wow, Katie finally ate her spinach in the last 10 seconds of that. - Shawn Farner
Palin= parrot. Trained to blurt out lines...incapable of doing anything else other than repeat the standard answer even if the question is different. Credit where it's due: they've trained her well...just like a parrot. - Duncan Riley
Right on, Duncan! It's like what Bill Maher said about Bush (in a parrot voice), "They hate us for our freedom, baaaaaak, they hate us for our freedom" - Peter "that one" Ghosh
The last ten seconds scared me. Her coaches need to work on getting rid of that line - was she sarcastic or being real? - LPH™
cbs released some of these questions and answers earlier today. ya know...the answers sound dumber when you hear them than when you read them. - Faboo Mama
........ wah.......um........ ok....... really? - John Worthington
Threw up in my mouth after watching that. Did McCain know that she doesn't use "g's" at the end of any of her words before nominating her? Also, is an answer like "I'll go find some answers and bring 'em back to ya" really inspire confidence in her as a leader? - Aaron Strout
ouch. punt, pun, punt, punt, punt. When in doubt, deploy the word 'maverick.' - Susan A. Kitchens
I thought the highlight was the use of the word 'multifaceted' - AJ Kohn
The nicest thing I can say at this point is at least Palin is finally wearing the hairstyle of someone over the age of 16. - Amanda Hicks
The thing that did strike me though is although she parroted the answers out, she lacked the ability to adequately change the question prior to the answer, giving the effect that she was avoiding answering. For example, old political trick when you don't like the question: "that's an interest point but the real question is..." or similar. Polished is a country in Europe according to Sarah Palin - Duncan Riley
73" TV for $1,999; about $2300 after shipping and tax (7% in FL)...it's in my shopping cart and I just have to click the button that says "OMG gimme it!!!!" and it will be here in 5 days. I'm trying to think of a reason to not buy it... - acedanger

Yeah, kinda retarded. They opened up so much stuff at the end of last season and they are just opening up MORE Stuff and not resolving anything. - Rah™
Did they freakin watch this before they decided to play it? This is too much. What happened to the little kid and the girl in the explosion? I keep thinking I have missed a season. - Rah™
OK, so I'm guessing this is not a series one can jump into mid-stream? TiVo recorded tonight's ep for some reason and I was going to watch it, but if you guys are confused, I have no chance. - Marci Maleski
Oh, that's the beauty of it. You would probably fare better than me because you don't know about all the loose ends...LOL. It wouldn't be nearly as confusing to me if I wasn't still thinking about what has yet to be resolved. - Rah™
haha! it never got past the 1st season here. this show is a clunker. oh and keep in mind that i am an avid reader and collector of comic books too. this show has failed on so many levels. - Carlos Ayala
Eh, I complain about wasting too much time in front of the TV anyway. Delete. - Marci Maleski
It had promise, but like the 4400 you can only run the superhero them so far before you run out new material, new villains and superheros. - Lorraine Ball
For me it has always been a positive - it is far easier to work with a train of thought over a series of posts rather than treating them in isolation. - Colin Walker

@Colin - fair point. EVERYONE: feel free to discuss this within FriendFeed - this will give you a chance to expound further - Mark Dykeman
I only self-link if I have a good reason. It is beneficial for your blog, as people can link together your thoughts. If you start to worry about doing "enough" self-linking, I would assume it could affect your blog negatively because you may start to "force" the content to fit with other posts. - Rob Diana
@Kyle - hahaha, yes I'm around. Not much but around ;) - Colin Walker

It should be limited. I've seen internal linking out of control, especially at larger blogs who take keywords and point them to prior coverage. When I call out prior coverage it's done as a "See Also:" with a full headline, so people aren't tricked. - Louis Gray
I agree with Rob Diana's points. I feel that internal linking easily shows your train of thought. Louis has a great point as well. - acedanger
Yuvi did an analysis if Engadget a few months ago and found that 70% of their links were to themselves. Wow. Now if thats not out of control as per louis's point, I don't know what is. Yuvi? - Roberto Bonini
@Roberto- the one that was a few months ago was TechCrunch, not Engadget. Engadget too has a similar ratio though. - Yuvi
@Yuvi: thanks for the correction. TechCrunch too? So does this excessive linking have a bearing on quality? - Roberto Bonini
I've never had a problem -- I end up discovering content I forgot about! - Tamar Weinberg
@Roberto: Quality can never be reduced to a number. - Yuvi
True, Yuvi. But what I'm getting at is that does this amount of self linking hurt or help. Personally, I think it makes getting infomation a bit difficult and you tend to go around in cricles. - Roberto Bonini
Positive impact: Users can go back and see what else I've written on a certain topic. It's really beneficial when writing tips about apps or reviewing apps so users get to see related apps or previous thoughts about a service. - Corvida

I always try to say "bla blah like I wrote about last week blah blah" rather than just slide it in without comment. Sometimes it's hard. Quick, someone write up a guideline for me! - Daniel J. Pritchett
