"These guys are faking what exactly? Having a blog and blogging about best practices? And just because you or your sysadmins really do follow the "test your restores" policy doesn't mean that all other sysadmins do. There are plenty of companies who think about it too late (and yes, Jeff is in the latter). I normally agree with some criticism of Joel but in this case I don't see the point. He gave good concise advice."

"That's what I'm wondering. And he's quote being so nonchalant... “I got my ass kicked pretty well in this trial.” Yet Nesson is still confident that the case was a good opportunity to make a stand. “What Joel did in downloading and sharing songs was what just about every kid in his generation did and which I bet a great many of you did.”"

"It's scary that they single people out like that. Really scary. Makes me very paranoid, even if I don't have anything to hide. Kind of reminds me of going shopping to Ross, actually. I always feel like the 15 mandatory dudes per store running around in "Loss Prevention" t-shirts are about to tackle me."

"I love their note about Vizio TVs - don't buy them (the title implies any size) because if you need to fix them, you need to send them back for repair (if they're <30"). Generalize much?"

archon810 on Audiophile Alert! Amazon is selling Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 Earphones for $99 today only in the Goldbox. These bad boys normally cost $350-400 and are worth every penny even then. - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"I believe these use the same cord as the SuperFi which is very-very strong. It is much stronger than any other cord in any other earphones I've seen. While UE says a replacement cord is $20, I've had mine replaced by just emailing their customer support, for free. That's another thing - their customer service is the best in the industry."

"I may have a link in there, but it's a legit post made from my heart. Here's a review I've done 3 years ago of the SuperFi 5, which is a step down from these: http://beerpla.net/2006.... I've listened to TripleFi 10 too and they're even more amazing, if that was even possible."

"I add it to my Pho every time, along with Jalapenos. I can tell you it definitely makes it hot as I end up using 15 napkins to wipe my nose and drink 4 glasses of water. Very much worth it though."
