How about everyone go sign up for identi.ca so it can crash and burn and we can move past this fascination. - Jason Carreira
Twitter out identi.ca in - Muge Cerman
Jason, that just won't happen - identi.ca may crash, but as it grows, multiple sites will be built on the same system, sharing the same data. The data will be distributed, therefore it will be much harder to take down. - Jesse Stay via twhirl
That's so ludicrous it's hard to describe. First of all, the identi.ca code is designed to keep 2 nodes in sync.... Yeah, sounds like a great distributed system. Second of all, you'd have to re-create your account on a different node after identi.ca crashes. Third, a distributed Twitter would quickly become USENET 2, and become a spammers paradise. Read my post on why you don't want a distributed Twitter: http://blog.babelnote.com/2008... - Jason Carreira
yup, sounds like a good old fashioned windows vs Linux debate :) - Bwana McCall via fftogo

"I’m going to take a brief break from your food phobias today to tell you about my newest one. It lives in the freezer. It controls my mind, and at times, my spoon. And at the rate we’re going, it will be the very end of me. Or my waistline. Or my husband, as he leaves me for the Paris-dweller who envisioned this masterpiece." - Michael W. May via Bookmarklet
"This is not a sorbet for chocolate moderates. It’s for people who like chocolate to be all they can taste when they bite into something. And for the love of all that is bathing suit season, someone with better moderation than me, because I suspect it is no longer “light” if you eat it all." - Michael W. May via twhirl

Kid Rock 'Steal Everything' PSA
yesterday at 5:34 am - Link
i hated kid rock up until this point. He has genuinely redeemed himself in my eyes. his music is still shitty tho. - Anthony
That is funny and he actually manages to get an interesting point accross - Andy Lewandowski
Anthony, you ever think downloading a song illegaly is like stealing a car (or anything else) or you totally missed his point. kid rock is a brick for stating this bullshit. - marcel weiss
@Marcel, You really think this is complete bull? It seems there is some validity to his commentary. I don't completely agree with it but I think it has merit. - Andy Lewandowski
What's the wealth limit for when it's OK to steal? $1,000,000? $10,000,000? - Richard Bradshaw
@Richard Bill Gates has to ask at what point is it no longer worth it to bend over to pick up a dropped $100 bill when he could be making more money in those three seconds working on a more important problem. Like I'm doing here. Oh. - Andrew Baron
There is absolutely NO validity to his point. No actual theft is involved when you copy a digital file of any sort that exists on the internet. It's only theft if some loss of property is involved. Meatspace items are finite resources - if you take one you create a loss. Digital items are infinite resources. You can't "steal" a number, which is what digital files are. This is a tired argument that obsolete industries continually trot out in an attempt to justify their lingering existence. - Tad Donaghe
Meatspace items can be secured from theft - locked, put up, garaged, etc. Some digital files, especially MP3s can NOT be secured. Attempts to protect digital "property" is fine with me, but the moment that a DRM scheme is rendered obsolete, the file it's protecting is no longer property. I "purchase" digital tracks because I can afford it. It's out of respect for the creator and to encourage continuing production. - Tad Donaghe
It's funny. I'm not sure it's meant to be much more than that. - Iain Baker
Agreed with Tad - you can't steal something that has infinite resources, like a digital file. What makes 'things' valuable are their relative scarcity. I'm not advocating not paying for digital music, but this comparison is completely bogus. The bottom line is that digital music can't and shouldn't be directly monetized like records or CDs. - J. Phil
this is great but kids with a sense of entitlement need more than this. They need a spanking to within an inch or their life because in the real world it translate to - Chris Conway

"According to a 2007 poll of 1,500 people conducted by the Pew Research Center, 36 percent of 18- to 25-year-olds and 40 percent of 26- to 40-year-olds have at least one tattoo. Still, even Larry David was so haunted by the cemetery edict that he wrote an episode of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” in which he pays off a gravedigger to have his mother reburied in a Jewish cemetery despite a small tattoo on her behind. But the edict isn’t true. The eight rabbinical scholars interviewed for this article, from institutions like the Jewish Theological Seminary and Yeshiva University, said it’s an urban legend. It was most likely started because a specific cemetery had a policy against tattoos. Jewish parents and grandparents picked up on it and over time, their distaste for tattoos was presented as scriptural doctrine." - edythe via Bookmarklet
"Andy Abrams, a filmmaker, has spent five years making a documentary called “Tattoo Jew.” In his interviews with dozens of Jews with body art, he’s noticed the prevalence of Jewish-themed tattoos — from Stars of David to elaborate Holocaust memorials, surprising since one reason Jewish culture opposes tattoos is that Jews were involuntarily marked in concentration camps." - edythe
urban legend???!!! - edythe

Great story, but WTF is up with the post-processing on the pictures? They're awful! - Cecily Walker
And y'know, I'm not even remotely Jewish, but I'd heard about this taboo/tradition so much that I often wondered how Ami James (mentioned in the article) explained how he got around this belief. - Cecily Walker

I managed to pull that joke off at a friend's birthday last Friday night: some people who don't really know us asked my wife if this was her first pregnancy, which she answered 'yes', and I said, 'It's my third.' Everyone laughed and whenever she'd turn to look at me (laughing as well), I'd shake my head and laugh, too, but as soon as she'd turn away, I'd look at the others at the table quite grimly and nod my head. She'd look back and I'd shake my head again and laugh. Repeat 2x. G-d bless Eddie Izzard. - Akiva Moskovitz

svn status works, but it says it's not under version control. How to fix? - James Williams (willia4)
Also: isn't this one of the problems source control is supposed to freaking prevent?! If I wanted my code to be this fragile, I'd store it on a cassette tape along with Atari Basic. - James Williams (willia4)
I thought svn was supposed to handle a failed commit?! That was one of the main reasons the MS had when switching from VSS. There has to be something on the web about recovery. It shouldn't corrupt your working copy or the last repository revision. - xero
It didn't corrupt the working copy (all my code is there), but it is now in a state from which it will not commit my changes. I don't know how to fix it and the web isn't being helpful. - James Williams (willia4)
Can you roll it back out to the last revision and commit again? Been a while since I used svn, been using a proprietary and tfs for a while now. - xero
svn cleanup then commit? - Andrew Badera
xero -- I'm not sure how to do that. I'll play with it more tonight. - James Williams (willia4)
Andrew -- svn cleanup doesn't help. Same error. Thanks, though! - James Williams (willia4)
