Originally the show was indoors at a 1,700 person venue, but they moved it to a venue that holds 4500 (outside capacity). I wasn't pleased, but now that it is outdoors, I can take my kids, although I'd rather see them in a smaller, indoor venue - RAPatton

I think outdoors it will be ok, but indoors, their ears will be doomed. Mine rang for about a day and a half after Franz Ferdinand. The worst was U2. They rang for about a week. - RAPatton

Wouldn't it be awesome if Reznor used FriendFeed? I mean, actually ENGAGED folks here? - Chris, Taskerrific Guy

Good call on Immi - Michael W. May

"Reading about that remark, I'm now dying to see Aubuchon's original pitch for Caprica, before the Adama family and the other BSG continuity baggage got shoe-horned in. If you watch the pilot, it's pretty obvious the Adama clan doesn't fit - the storyline makes a lot more sense if you take them out. In the pilot, Zoe Graystone dies in a terrorist bombing, but it turns out she found a way to scan her brain and create a virtual avatar with all her memories. And then her grieving dad strives to load that avatar into a robot body, inadvertently helping to create a super-weapon. It has a certain elegance, no? Until you shoehorn in the idea that Joseph Adama's daughter could also be restored to life, based on her Facebook page and whatever other info Google can dig up. Adding the BSG elements basically transforms this story into a giant "WTF"." - Mark Trapp from Bookmarklet

"Since I started to work with Ruby, being involved in several projects, contributing, giving support or maintaining Windows version of those packages, this is the first time a bug report made my day: [#22347] One-click installer requires more than one click Enough said, irony on a side, I completely agree with the statement. Too many clicks required to install something named One-Click Installer. Thank you anonymous submitter for your feedback. :-D" - imabonehead from Bookmarklet

That's just full of win - John Daly

"I was an active investor in 2000 when the “bubble burst” and remember it vividly and want to give you the SAME EXACT advice I gave to my portfolio company CEOs back then." - Andrew Badera from Bookmarklet

This is good. It is advice and common sense and it is not in any way sugar-coating it. At the same time the underlying message is that this is a storm to be weathered and not the end of the world. Belts are to be tightened, for sure, but there is no panic only a grim determination. I'll take that over doom-mongering any day of the week. - WorldofHiglet

"In the volunteer world we often say we are looking for 3 key attributes: Talent (Ability in some useful skill); Passion (motivation to do it); and Availability (time to commit to it). In other words you need to have skills, enthusiasm, and time to dedicate to something in order to be effective. (This also applies to paid work too, but because we get paid for things it is easy to mix-up motivation with payment and forget about considering if we are passionate/motivated about the work.)" - imabonehead from Bookmarklet

"Working from their research facility in the West Bank settlement of Alon Shvut, they create electronic devices — from phones to alarm systems to motorized vehicles — that obey Orthodox Jewish laws about the Sabbath, when even turning an electric current on or off is forbidden. “We’re trying to combine making a modern Jewish state with age-old Jewish law,” said Dan Marans, executive director of Zomet. That requires both a deep knowledge of Judaism’s legal code, or halacha, and a bit of ingenuity. “Every day, God gives us things to take advantage of,” Mr. Marans said. “We just have to know how.” For decades, research groups like Zomet enjoyed a near-monopoly on the kosher gadget industry. They sold most of their inventions to the Israeli government and military. Now multinationals, Orthodox entrepreneurs and small businesses across the globe are creating rabbinically approved products." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

Huzzah, thanks for the invite. I work in the same building that Jackie Earl Haley's production studio is in. He was nice enough to sign my Watchmen graphic novel for me after I found out he was cast. Super nice guy. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

Very cool technology. Transform JSON into HTML. Curious about the performance. - LiquidLag from Bookmarklet

Is it ironic that they had far more performers in the opening ceremony that there are athletes participating in the games? - Gabe

Awesome shots. In the crazy world of internet, I first saw these pictures from the Czech republic at widelec.org before finally seeing the Boston.com website. - Mitchell Tsai

i still like webceo because of its export possibilities ;) - Nicole Simon

I honestly have to keep myself from marking them as spam, due to the sheer volume of mail I get from the obama campaign. - EricaJoy

Yeah, in regard to the Obamail aspect of this thread, I have to vent that getting an Obamail yesterday that promised that, if I sign up, I can get notification of who he has chosen as his running mate FIRST, BEFORE ANYONE ELSE..... it made me wonder if he was a presidential candidate or an Apple product. - Mark Novak

I like the "Broke the Builds" Images. - LiquidLag
