Word to the wise gMail user: if you're using an external SMTP server to send mail, and your authentication information is incorrect, gMail will fail to send messages without giving an error message (while still moving them to "sent mail"). This is apparently a gigantic, known bug. http://www.google.com/support... & http://www.google.com/support...

Domino's Changes Pizza Recipe - Slashfood - http://www.slashfood.com/2009...

"Like many middle-agers, Domino's Pizza is undergoing a bit of cosmetic surgery. The world's largest pizza delivery chain, celebrating its 50th year in the business in 2010, announced today it will be entirely changing its core pizza recipe. "The fact is, we love our pizza, but as times change, so do consumer tastes," said Russell Weiner, Domino's chief marketing officer, in a statement. "We've created a pizza to reflect what consumers are looking for. We're not talking about a slightly altered version of our previous pizza. It's a completely new pizza reinvented from the crust up, and we are proud of it." After 18 months testing dozens of cheeses, 15 sauces and 50 crust-seasoning blends, Domino's decided on the new components of the pizza."
- RAPatton
from Bookmarklet
"The new crust will be seasoned with garlic, butter and parsley. While the new tomato sauce will be sweeter, made with a variety of herbs and a kick of red pepper. The cheese is shredded mozzarella, versus diced, with a hint of provolone."

I love all the melodrama in the comments. I don't know about other people, but I can't be bothered to be brand loyal to a pizza chain. There are so many pizza places out there why would you narrow focus like that? With that said, I've long disliked Domino's so I'm kinda interested to try the new recipe.

I'm wondering if they're testing this in my area -- the pizza crust definitely tasted a lot better the last time I ordered, and the sauce was a bit "richer." (They're the only online delivery place to my house.)

Perhaps the pizza will now be edible.

I don't think I've ever liked Domino's, so I'm hoping this change is for the better.

I was a driver for two years. Sweeter sauce? Bleh, it was too sweet for me already. Dominos is still my favorite of the giant chains though.
- Rob Haas
I'm with Rob. I haven't bought pizza from a major chain in probably four or five years and when I did, it was from Domino's (it was for the Seahawks/Steelers Superbowl). Before then, I had randomly ordered from Pizza Hut. Holy crap, it was palate blasphemy. I'm so grateful for Seattle's outstanding local pizza joints.

Andrew, there's this apocryphal story about an old school doc (he's old enough to have trained my dad in medicine) whom I used to take call with. He got a phone call from a long-time patient of his in his 80s, who was complaining about weakness and numbness on the right side of his body and difficulty with speech. The doc diagnosed him with a stroke and instructed him to take a few shots of whiskey, and to come see him in the morning if he survived. (Which he did.)
- Victor Ganata
Wow, that's... quite a story. I am both laughing and scared.
- Andrew C
Heh. I never had the balls to ask the guy if it was true, but knowing what I know about him, I could totally see him really doing it.

I thought it was numbuness on the left side that indicated a stroke/heart attack. Can it be either side?

Bonus points for using "tincture", Vic. :D I'm excessively patient and it pisses people off all the time. I just don't get how getting riled up over anything is sensible or healthy. That being said, there was this time that I had strep throat for a month because I just figured I'd wait it out. On the plus side, I lost a lot of weight. On the downside, I damaged my hearing. Oops. O.O
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
Yikes! Yeah, a month may be a little too long to wait. I guess there's such a thing as being *too* patient. When I was a med student, I met a guy who had crushing substernal chest pain radiating to his left arm, but he figured it wasn't *that* bad, and he decided to just wait it out until the morning. The only reason he made it to the hospital was because his wife came home and found him unconscious on the sofa. It was, in fact, a massive heart attack.
- Victor Ganata
LOL I shouldn't be laughing, but that's so typical of the men in my family. My dad had a hernia and waited two days to do anything about it because he just figured it was nothing important and it would go away on its own. Srsly. How my family has managed to stay alive this many generations is beyond me.

It's utterly unsurprising to me that the details of a bunch of personal and professional emails are a little ugly. That's probably true for almost any of us. Who wouldn't, in their reasonably private communications, hurl a few barbs at people who've been relentlessly attacking your work and your person for years, tying you up with constant frivolous data requests, and in some cases (as with Wei-Chyung Wang) having people threaten to have you arrested for fraud? I'm glad I don't work in that field.

Thanks for the Nature link, Hisham. The ending paragraph sums it up well, I think: "In the end, what the UEA e-mails really show is that scientists are human beings — and that unrelenting opposition to their work can goad them to the limits of tolerance, and tempt them to act in ways that undermine scientific values.

“The mystery began when a blue light seemed to soar up from behind a mountain in the north of the country. It stopped mid-air, then began to move in circles. Within seconds a giant spiral had covered the entire sky. Then a green-blue beam of light shot out from its centre - lasting for ten to 12 minutes before disappearing completely. Onlookers describing it as 'like a big fireball that went around, with a great light around it' and 'a shooting star that spun around and around'... curiously, this appears to be unconnected with the aurora borealis, or northern lights, the natural magnetic phenomena that can often be viewed in that part of the world...”

- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Micah.. I told you I take my likes seriously; ). You *might* want to ask (in a separate post) what percentage of likes were used to "bookmark" a post or save it for later VS actually "liking it". I NEVER used like for that.. but I did use a private group that if filled with my own topics (and comments)..
- Chris Myles
1.78 (8529/4782)
- Micah Wittman
Likes are down relative to comments, which matches my much lower frequency of liking. I'm a more selective liker than ever.
- Micah Wittman
0.9009 (6055/6721)
- Jason Huebel
OK, so statistically, what ratio results in better interaction on FF?
- Jason Huebel
I don't think I could argue that any particular kind of ratio is "best", because if Lurkers like to Lurk and cultivate (via Likes) and the Chatty-ites love to chat, to pump out much many more comments than Likes, each can be happy and make for a great social experience.
- Micah Wittman
So I'm fairly balanced, it appears. I would imagine it's because I try to comment on every post I like. That's not always true, obviously. But mostly it is.
- Jason Huebel
Just clicking "Like" seems too easy. I feel like I should say something, too.
- Jason Huebel
383/372
- ashish
'Just clicking "Like" seems too easy' — Jason, that's because you're from the Chatty-ite tribe :)

- chaz2b
chaz, I think there's been a big fluctuation for most people (maybe not that much). This is the oldest post on which you commented that you've recovered?

- Micah Wittman
that was my third post... It's interesting to see how the number has changed. of course, I manipulated the number to a degree, because I stopped "liking" things for a while...
- Bren -- Not Grinchy
Bren, the other thing that can seriously throw off someone's stats is a feed that upon each item it imports adds a comment automatically.
- Micah Wittman
true. that can seriously inflate comment stats, of course. Then you have someone like RAPatton, who posts a gazillion comments, in part because of his playlist posts where he will list each song in a separate comment. I found, after this post in fact, that I tended to "like" things much more frequently than comment on them, that I was lurking instead of participating. I have changed the way I use ff rather considerably, and I think for the better.
