@joeygreen @teflonted I'd recommend Last.fm, Pandora, or Slacker. Here's a comparison article I did on all three: http://nathanchase.com/2008...

Good post, Nathan. I find that last.fm generally does a far inferior job at putting together radio stations I like (unless of course I just use the 'my library' station). I mean, it makes sense that someone who listens to The White Stripes would also listen to Jack White's solo stuff, but one's more post-punk and the other's more alt-country, and I'm not generally in the mood for both...

Question: How much name calling / personal slurs should be tolerated on an open development mailing list? Any? None? It depends?
Anne Haynes, Anne Bouey, Michael R. Bernstein and 6 other people liked this
A real world question that is being debated right now on one of the lists I follow. It's apparently not a simple answer. What are your thoughts?
- DeWitt Clinton
The AtomPub mailing list became substantially more productive once the name calling and personal slurs were no longer tolerated. The only people that would argue against such a thing aren't there to contribute constructively.
- Joe Gregorio
@Joe - totally. And it worked out in the end for AtomPub, even though I know it was a frustrating experience at the time, and actually did cost something to get there as well. My feeling is that no amount of outright personal attacks or slurs should be tolerated. I'm actually a little surprised to hear people making an argument the other way. (But the internet is a big place, nothing should surprise me.)
- DeWitt Clinton
None. In our experience (on the GWT lists), the best approach has been to gently ask people to keep things professional when they get out of line. This works 90% of the time, and helps remind people of the tone we want to maintain (particularly helpful for those who might be turned off by the assholes in question). When someone falls into the other 10%, you can remind them more sternly. We've only had to moderate one person that I can recall, and he eventually shaped up.
- Joel Webber
None.
- Admiral Anika
Though I'd love to say there should be no tolerance, I think there are some who are so unthinkingly disagreeable they push otherwise reasonable people over the edge.
- DGentry
I'd say at most one. Realistically, people who poison open source discussions are likely to be a recurrent disruptor if they continue despite being warned as it shows a lack of self-reflection or appreciation for others. Slurs I'd say zero. Any attack on the messenger other than outright slur, I'd allow once with warning. Slur example: "You're a godamned liar." Attacking the messenger "your proposal would make sense if it wasn't for the fact that you're a Microsoft employee"
- Ray Cromwell
It's vital to maintain an atmosphere of civility otherwise you end up with things like the BileBlog: http://www.bileblog.org/ or http://lastweekinhtml5.blogspot.com/ whose authors defended by otherwise reasonable people on the grounds that they're actually quite nice people in person and are only offensive when they're behind a keyboard. When difficult and emotive decisions need to be...

- Adewale Oshineye
None, but be careful how you define 'zero tolerance'. If a first offense gets you banned from the list with no warning, you've gone too far.
- Michael R. Bernstein
Being ruled by net nannies and overly sensitive people also is not the route to successful wide spread collaboration. Who manages what defines name calling and personal slurs and what happens when this line is crossed? Trying to work with a whole bunch of passive aggressives can sometimes be worse than a situation where occasionally emotion overcomes reason.
- Brian Sullivan
@Brian: Completely agreed. The idea of "zero tolerance" (which I didn't mean to imply by "none", but probably did) can be equally dangerous, especially if you end up with a bunch of easily offended, self-appointed vigilantes trying to police everyone. I think just having a few people who've been around for a while (our own team, in our case) gently ask people to be reasonable and professional when they clearly get out of line is sufficient.
- Joel Webber
I am always more willing to comment at a site where there is a message requesting civility posted. I like NPG's message -- something like "be as argumentative as you like, but keep it civil".

"While you may be worried of catching of an obscure disease you heard about on the news, the truth is that we are far more likely to die of a small range of illnesses, nearly all of which are tied in some way to your lifestyle choices, like the food you eat or how much exercise you get. But you can lessen—sometimes dramatically—the likelihood of succumbing to the most common causes of death by knowing your risk factors and making informed choices. This is a look at your most likely cause of death (excluding uncontrollable events like accidents and homicide), given your race, sex, and age. Use this information to make choices that will keep you healthy."

First of all, I'll cop to wanting one of these. That being said, Jason is right. This is for rich hippies (who probably aren't hippies at all). The VW microbus became the darling of the Flower Power crowd because it was cheap, easy to repair, and big. You could camp in it. Is there a car today that fits this bill?

wow, you can buy an awful lot of pot with $129,000.

- Chris Baskind
@Chris, Most cars today aren't as simple, but with the wealth of knowledge online, it just takes more time. The minivan/SUV can become a camper van with a few mods. They'll never take the place of the VW, but they're an updated version of the 70s panelvan conversions (hopefully without shag carpeting & a disco-ball).
- Steven Cains
Nope: there will never be anything that simple again. That's not all bad: I can't imagine a 1960s VW Minibus would satisfy *any* federal safety standard these days. You're right. A used minivan might be the closest thing.

Cancer Messed With the Wrong Dude. Drew Is Making It Pay. - http://www.louisgray.com/live...

Anne Haynes liked this
In early June, I told you about how my friend Drew Olanoff had encountered some bad news. In what has no doubt been a life-altering experience, Drew was diagnosed with stage three Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and scheduled to undergo a series of chemotherapy treatments to take on the illness. At the time, I also told you about his unique strategy to fight back, using #BlameDrewsCancer, a Twitter hashtag and accompanying Web site, to organize the power of social media in his personal quest to give the Big C a big F. Ten chemo treatments into the promised dozen, Drew is seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. The doctors have given him a very positive diagnosis, which doesn't mean he's completely put cancer in the rear view mirror, but he has turned the corner. Even when he is feeling the inevitable fatigue, aches, nausea and other side effects of his treatment, he is progressing closer to this specific finish line. But even if he gets an all clear from the doctors, what cancer didn't realize...
I #BlameDrewsCancer that @drew is feeling terrible after chemo 10 of 12. Help him fight back and #BlameEthansCancer or follow @DrewFromTV.

- Louis Gray
I am probably missing something pretty obvious about making my shared items more accessible but I am going to ask anyway. Louis, you said you reorganisd your contacts and made sure each group could access your shared items. Was that just a process of allocating contacts to specific groups and enabling sharing access? Did you then go through your lists and manually locate their shared feeds and follow them or can that be automated once your contacts are organised?
- Paul Jacobson
What I've done, Paul, is added every single contact into a group called "Friends" and enabled Friends to see the items. Originally, I was not assigning people to groups at all, so they could see the shares, but not comment. That was my mistake. I had to go to "Sharing Settings", then People I follow and add everybody to the folder.
- Louis Gray
Ah, right! Thanks for the explanation. I just created a group for "Reader friends" and pretty much added the people I follow and the people who are following me to that group. I love FriendFeed and at the same time I am pretty excited about what is going on in Google Reader.
