Optional feature - timestamp - not default.
- Susan Beebe
great idea!
- Sarah Perez
it must be part of the API, since fftogo seems to include a time stamp on the comments
- Trent Olson
I'm sure they do store the timestamp, even if it isn't currently displayed.
- Mack D. Male
Yeah, it's in the api, all comments & likes are timestamped
- Glenn Slaven
I think this is a perfect plan. The only issue I might have is that the time information might take-over the conversations. It might just look more cluttered than FF already is.
- Ryne Nelson
It would be useful sometimes.
- Morton Fox
concur, very useful to have. Make it a display option. Those who would think it's clutter can turn it off then.
- Alexander Falk
It is in the API (I use them in fftogo). I vote that the timestamp should appear as text when you hover over the "thought bubble" to the left.
- Benjamin Golub
All comments are time-stamped in AlrertThingy and feedalizr

- Peter Dawson
What about a comment alert?! How do you follow conversations on ff!?
- TommaSorchiotti
Not sure if this will add to the functionality, but should be something they can try out...
- Dennis Goedegebuure
Not sure a comment alert is necessary. Comments bring the post up to the top of the timeline, which makes it available for anyone who is currently paying attention to Friendfeed. (Not sure why anyone would want their attention brought to Friendfeed if it isn't already there, that would be a huge productivity drain).
- Jason Wehmhoener
Please, please remember that the whole world doesn't run on PDT. I don't want to see timestamps in my FF in gReader and have to always try to guess whether the west coast is 17, 16, or 15 hours behind. If you must display timestamps, please put them in GMT. Setting the timestamps on my FF page/in my FF feed to be correct in my local timezone would be even nicer.
- James Polley
yeah ! and a hide fonction for each comment
- Jonathan
منم به فارسی تایید می کنم
- Kamal
we know which came first... but in n argument the comments can edit. that makes time stamping very important so we know when someone made a change
- Noah David Simon
a timeline function in general would be nice, make everything more timeframe friendly
- Ruben Llibre
Show times either in GMT or in my own timezone, and just make it a tooltip for the quote balloon or something. Don't want it to look cluttered.
- Pat Hawks
just make the time relative from each comment, so I know who said what when in perspective. like 5 minutes later Noah David Simon said. <--this opens up
- Noah David Simon
like i said earlier about plurk :)
- kosmar
Is i really important to know when every single comment is made? Only the last one would really be useful, could have 'last comment on june 1 at..." right beside the date of the post.
- John Duff
If the timestamp is a tooltip, then it isn't really "in the way." Maybe we can have all the timestamps as tooltips, except the most recent comment will have the timestamp printed out below it, like John said.

- RAPatton
Put another way..would you live 20 years less by choice. Since the 20 year travel time would be lost prime living time, would the remaining years of your life be worth giving up those younger years? Only worthwhile for teens or younger, and they are too young to make that choice themselves.
- Robert Kenney
I would get off this rock any day if i could...I think we will destroy ourselves unless our generation radically changes everything...without kyoto and much more snowball earth is inevitable and it can happen in months... I would never bet against human progress and technological advances, the required technologies could become available this weekend ... I don't plan on dying on this planet
- Tweet Feeds
So the technology to travel to this other planet is easy, but the technology to make our planet livable and stable is out of the question? I would bet on the latter first.
- Robert Kenney
no, bet i would invest in chickens since fried eggs will be so cheap :o
- chaz2b
Heh, I'd go regardless
- Mo Kargas
Um, travel time would only be 20 years if you could go at the speed of light. And, if that's true, then the time for the passengers would be substantially less (more like a few weeks), while 20 years go by to observers back on earth. However, light speed would require near-infinite power, which is unlikely to be available.
- Mistletoe Glen
Robert: i think the technology to fix this planet is widely available, its the political and social will that is lacking
- Tweet Feeds
@TweetFeeds: I agree.
- Robert Kenney
Travels at the Speed of Light all the time ------>
- Robert Kenney
Agreed on the sentiment though, what's the point of the human race wastes massive resources hopping from planet to planet only to waste .. massive resources? It's a mindset that needs fixing, giving a damn about what we've got already.
- Mo Kargas
Yes. I'd do it now.
- Admiral Anika
+1 Mo People can't think that when Earth is completely trashed, we can just move on to another planet. Not feasible.
- Ethan
@Glen: Clarify this... isn't 20 years always 20 years? Traveling a light year (the distance light travels in a year) is 1 year long. So the trip would last 20 years, right? This seems correct to me, am I mistaken?
- Robert Kenney
Glen: don't bet against your species, by now we know that all our limitations are really not limitations but gaps in our knowledge and understanding. Once upon a time oil was a nuisance to farmers, today its an important energy source. The only thing that changed is our knowledge
- Tweet Feeds
@Robert What Glen's getting at is correct. There have been experiments conducted where clocks on Earth end up ahead of the same clock that has orbited the earth.
- Ethan
Thanks
- Robert Kenney
I would be concerned about my molecular integrity while traveling at light speed. Kurtzweil thinks we'll have transferred our consciousness into nanobots before we can make this trip. I'm skeptical that we'll master machine consciousness to that degree, and I'm optimistic that we can curtail our resource usage on this planet. OK, maybe not extremely optimistic on that last point.
- Jason Wehmhoener
@Jason It would be pointless sending humans initially anyway, just send robots. As for Kurtzweil, well I'm not sure - on the ability to 'transfer' consciousness or the need for nanobots. Our understanding of the physics surrounding light speed and ftl is limited (at best it's up in the air) and it's currently extremely difficult to test current ideas around the physics. It may indeed be possible (though I lean towards unlikely atm), sometime in the future, to send a full human.
- Mo Kargas
I think people want to believe that their "children" will live forever in some form, hence the transferring consciousness to nanobots meme. It's just attachment to maya, if you ask me. Even sending regular old robots seems unnecessary. Mostly I'm interested in *communicating* with other planets.
- Jason Wehmhoener
That would be awesome indeed. I wonder what would happen if we had the tech sorted to go, and found the planet inhabited after we'd destroyed Earth?
- Mo Kargas
We'd bring our germs with us. If we've been sufficiently dirty in our living relative to the alien species, those germs would likely prove to be a potent weapon.
- Jason Wehmhoener
Yeah that's about right. We can't live in peace on Earth, so what chance do we have with another species. Then again, they might be the same.
- Mo Kargas
Robert, do a Yahoo! search for "time dilation" or visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki.... Also look up "Lorentz contraction" or "Lorentz transformation." So, time is only constant with regards to a fixed frame of reference (motion). Light might take 20 years to reach a planet when viewed from Earth, but it would take far less time to someone "riding the light wave," so to speak.
- Mistletoe Glen
I already do.
- Steven Perez
I'd love to cruise to another planet. But it's sheer hubris on the same level of assuming that Mars & Venus were habitable in prior ages to assume that a planet that's close to earthlike is going to be able to be inhabited without modifications. I know that Treehugger is trying to add an environmentalist slant to the news, but they missed the boat...
- Wirehead
The real environmentalist slant is that we need to understand how our own planet works better if we're going to be able to have anything other than a small space-city that's still dependent upon Earth's resources.
- Wirehead
@Glen: good reading. Thanks for the info.

"There are always new French cars on the islands," Marc Cormier of St-Pierre-et-Miquelon.com told Wired.com. "One of the reasons being the state and government offices only buy French cars."

A Brief History of Mickey Mouse- TIME - http://www.time.com/time...

"Mickey Mouse turns 80 years old today, and there's not a gray hair on him. Sure, he's a little rounder, a little squatter, and he's been wearing the same clothes for decades, but all in all he looks pretty good. Sure, Mickey hasn't had a movie in two years (his last one went direct-to-video), but his cheerful face remains one of the most recognizable images in the world, even beating out Santa Claus. Disney threw a big party for the mouse's 75th birthday, so this year's festivities will be comparatively subdued. But TIME has been following the adorable mouse since the beginning, and 80 years is still a big number to us."
- Anna Haro
from Bookmarklet
"By 1937, Disney Studios was producing about 12 Mickey shorts a year, with Disney himself providing the mouse's high-pitched voice. Mickey became a football hero, a hunter, a tailor, and a symphony conductor. He accidentally sprayed himself with insecticide, rescued Pluto from the dogcatcher, crashed a car into a barn, fell behind on his rent, enlisted in the army, had his house repossessed, and lost Minnie to an innumerable string of muscular bad boys (although he always won her back in the end)."
- Anna Haro
"The cartoons' vaudevillian overtones made liberal use of slapstick and puns, and Mickey's close association with children required that he always remain upstanding and moral (leaving the cantankerous Donald Duck to get into all the trouble)."

One of many instances in business history where a company thought it knew better in making a stupid business decision and got left behind in the end.

@Adam (While I voted for Obama...) I think not voting is a valid form of response by some people when they don't agree with either candidate.

I was very turned off by Obama's aggressive stance towards Iran and Pakistan, and in the end almost voted for a 3rd party candidate again. I don't think it is too hard to believe that a lot of people don't see how voting helps their...

Give 'em one for me! Geez! I cannot believe Prop 8 is passing. What are the next steps we can take if Prop 8 passes? Can ballot initiatives be ruled unconstitutional by the state supreme court?

Well this changes the state constitution so the state supremes are stuck. We could work to repeal it, but I think a better idea is to work to ban Mormon marriage in Utah. It really is the best option.

I am *so* in Like with Roshan right now.

Roshan, I totally see your point. But with that said, American elections are about far more than who will be the next president. What about governance and issues at the local level? Can people really believe that this stuff is inconsequential? Or that they and their neighbors have no say?
- Adam Lasnik
Not voting means you are not part of the solution. Don't want to vote for President because you don't like a dual system, then don't vote in *that* election. But there are numerous state and local elections that mean something *if* you want them to. We have the power to elect our government on all levels. The cynicism that it won't matter is simply misplaced.

@Adam Sure, I was just responding to your 2nd point on the candidates. But I do know a few people who feel that they are part of the solution by working within communities of color, within low income neighborhoods on health and education issues and do a lot of good work. I know it's not an either-or proposition between that and voting, but I don't think anyone (especially including myself) who *only* participates 1 day a year by voting should judge them

And that's not to say that I'm defending the large group of apathetic/lazy voters within that group :)

I was on voter rolls twice. Once as Erin Vest and once as Erin Kotecki Vest. I only voted once.

It's easy to tell who voted for Obama, and who didn't,in the polling place.

felt sick the other day so spent the evening watching tv, saw a random episode of this and was surprised to find it wasn't bad. Not sure how long the series can go on though, seems like the terminator franchise has been bled dry.

Been watching it - I like it, but don't love it. I think Summer and Brian Austin Greene are the best things about it.

One my favorites right now.... A much better Terminator 3 than Terminator 3 was....

I try to watch it but end up falling asleep EVERY time--I have no idea what is going on now...

The final episode of Season 1, with the Johnny Cash song "The Man Comes Around", had some of the best pieces of story-telling I'd ever seen. Specifically, the segment where the song is playing, and the FBI are heading up to and into the room where the machine is. Then the aftermath. Fantastic stuff.

LOVE IT!

So, like, is Cameron going to kill John? I was confused - it seemed like all of a sudden she was OK again after telling the therapist she was going to stick John Connor's head on a stake.

@Stu: Even better was the moment John sees his father for the first time, though his father is a six-year-old.

I didn't like this week's episode to much.
