I don't think it the number of people, I think is the number of hits/per time. Then again, it might be the IT people. Unless you are hitting Facebook every minute, you may not notice any downtime. - W. Kirk Crawford

I'm also willing to bet Facebook is doing Unit Testing on their launches, where I'm pretty sure Twitter isn't (based on the things that break after launches) - Jesse Stay

what the heck - Matt Ellsworth

@kfury America? - Prolific Programmer from IM

just downloaded chrome 3 - looks great - hopefully it performs even better - Matt Ellsworth

Eugene: I don't use Google Docs much, and if I did, it seems like a poor place to put my bookmarks. I have a thousand or so bookmarks in Google Bookmarks already. It easily integrates with my Firefox installation. Why would I want to switch to a lesser, half-baked, solution? Again, this new Bookmarks Sync feature in Chrome is crap. It's a reason for me to NOT use it. They redeveloped the wheel, for no reason, and gave it corners in the process. - Otto

Found thanks to Patrik Johansson (http://friendfeed.com/patrozoo) but what cracked me up is the last line "A more common mutation among snakes is the growth of a second head, which occurs in a similar way to the formation of Siamese twins in humans. Such animals are often caught and preserved as lucky tokens but have very little chance of surviving in the wild anyway, especially as the heads have a tendency to attack each other." - Lindsay from Bookmarklet

Love you :) - Alp

Hinduism didn't start off as a religion. It was merely the name given to the way of life of the people who settled on the banks of the river Sindhu in ancient times. Later in history, the Arabs pronounced Sindhu as Hindu and India came to be known as Hindustan. The name India came when certain other races pronounced Sindhu as Indu. - Vijayendra (V-Mo) Mohanty

Varun: True. But there is also the freedom to treat your patron devta as God if you want to, hence the dialogue. It's a matter of what satisfies you. If a devta is your thing, go ahead. If you want more, head to the absolute. - Vijayendra (V-Mo) Mohanty

Very nice. :)) - Bluesun 2600

Wow, fantastic!! - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet

Thanks, Morteza. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

"I said our support base is less therefore we owe it to them to show that we are not anti-Muslim. We like to see Muslims grow economically and socially in this country but we don't use them as vote banks as our rivals are doing. There is no strong anti-BJP feeling among Muslims this time in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. There is no contentious issue that is whipping up the political domain. I don't think there is any lack of initiative on our part to reach out. Our plank that we must treat Muslims as equals and give them the same opportunity in matters of economic growth doesn't seem to have impressed many at the moment. I have no doubt that in the long term it will be effective. We avoid linking Muslims to only vote bank politics. Believe me, there is a significant maturing of the electorate in the last 62 years. Our core voters are part of the matured process. The BJP's matured voter is anti-terrorism, he wants economic growth of India, sovereignty of India is very important to him and he doesn't want a" - Vijayendra (V-Mo) Mohanty from Bookmarklet

"A few days ago, there was an article in this newspaper about an actress who said that she didn’t know what she was campaigning for, but that she just went because she was a friend of a party member. I was completely outraged. Is this a fashion show where you go just because it’s fun to show up? Did you just want to be written about as active, because it’s the new in-thing in Bollywood? When voting privately, a public figure has the same amount of responsibility as any other citizen, no more, no less, to be well-informed about what he or she is voting for. But the second one uses their celebrity to campaign for votes, that responsibility increases exponentially. I mean, isn’t that obvious? People look up to you, people are influenced by you, and when you’re using that to tell them how to shape the country rather than what movie to watch, you have no right to abuse that! You can really impact people, and to do that without due research, knowledge or care is a disgrace." - Vijayendra (V-Mo) Mohanty from Bookmarklet

I find this hardly surprising in Indian politics where your only qualification to be a politician (and even a Prime Ministerial candidate) needs to be the family you come from... Sad, but true... I personally think the lack of inner-party democracy is the biggest bane in Indian politics right now... - Deepak Prakash

It's also a matter of moral responsibility. You are an actor. You act and make money. How valid is it to act when people are not expecting you to act? To promise and say things you don't mean because... hey... you are just an actor. - Vijayendra (V-Mo) Mohanty

I especially like the ones who tell me we should connect on MyBook or FaceSpace or whatever. :& - ha3rvey (needs soup)

Hmmm, that kind of response would make me want to unfollow them. - CAJ, somewhere else

I don't really get what the transparent autoresponses are going to accomplish, either. Mostly I ignore them. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

Holy Crap. What the hell does he use it for? Does it get its own sidecar? - Aram Zucker-Scharff

hehe....tell that to the before Scobleized thread people lol! - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

it's simply fun to remember twitter & friendfeed before the masses jumped in. It's mot exactly a serious issue, but the fascination is with the effects caused by the influx of new users including the famous names now showing up on the twitter front. - Susan Reynolds

"This is how we make ours. Nothing fancy — no bacon or lettuce or even toasted bread. Just plain, white bread, lots of mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. The tomato juice runs out with the mayonnaise, leaving milky, pink drips on the plate... Heaven. How do you make your tomato sandwiches?" - edythe from Bookmarklet

home-grown tomatoes, fresh bread, pepper and salt, a little mayo (or not), maybe some melted cheese... mmm mmm good. - docrivs

I got four of these coconuts for a party on Saturday. They were a HUGE hit. You can buy them at Whole Foods. Very very yummy :) - Bindu Reddy from Likaholix

Interesting dicussion... Personally, I think it is cheating... And probably of the worst kind... :) - Deepak Prakash

"A seven-year-old girl with a Y chromosome is providing new clues about a possible "master switch" of maleness. The girl has the normal chromosome count – 46 – and should be male. Other children who have the male sex chromosome but do not appear to be boys have been found to have gene mutations that temper the Y chromosome's effects. However this child doesn't have ambiguous gonads, shrivelled testes or other developmental defects. She instead has a normal vagina, cervix and set of ovaries. A team led by Anna Biason-Lauber, of University Children's Hospital in Zurich, Switzerland, thinks the patient's normalcy is due to mutations in a poorly understood gene on chromosome 17 called CBX2." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

ten years ago they were saying this GBX2 gene was implicated in having prostate cancer (http://cancerres.aacrjournals.org/cgi...); now they're saying it's implicated in having a prostate :-D - Karim
