BEX, I love how your profile bit says "I can kick your ass!" :) Not only do I believe that 100%, but I also think it might be enjoyable for some reason.

I'm sure that I could get a little whimper out of you ;)
- BEX
Yep, I was right. I'll be in my bunk.

I think this is a preview from the new season starting in September. I cannot wait, been a fan of the show since episode 1. Hundred Dollar Baby is probably my favorite episode. (Where Dee and Charlie get hooked on steroids)
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
What Rahsheen said...............Not cute or funny. That looks a bit distressing for the cat. Not cool to make any animal perform. Comedy like this is fine as long as it naturally occurs, when animals appear to do humorous things but this.......no.

I think ppl can make childish jokes to their pet, lover, roommates or parents etc. but when u film and share that act to make other ppl laught, it becomes a little mean.it can even be said an "abuse".

Does that mean FriendFeed Wave Robot/Gadget is around the corner?

The question is, will other Wave servers be able to communicate with Google's Wave sandbox? If so, could someone else open up public access before Sept. 30?

Ah, the joys of architecture astronomy. How about this one from my old COM days: CoMarshalInterThreadInterfaceInStream (not quite as bad, but it's pretty funny that they appear to be trying to "save characters" by using "Co*" and not "Com*").

Rule of thumb: if you arrive at needing to write a class with more than one pattern in the name, delete the entire project and start over.

One thing I have noticed is that in any ovie, v show, etc where anything odd happens, the English are always portrayed as standing in place saying something like "This can't be happening" or some stupid thing like that, when it clearly IS happening. Is this some sort of national trait? I like to think that if, say, the dead rise and turn on the living, I would fight back + run to safety FIRST and worry about the ontological implications after.

My cousin dl'ed the Moron Test and tried to get me to take it. I told him he'd already failed because he was a moron for buying it in the first place. He was unamused. I wasn't.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
To be fair, he's kind of a tool, so it's less a reflection of the app and more a reflection of how much I want to throw him off the nearest high-rise.

I notice that the U.S. is no longer a nation of morons -- for the last few days, "The Sims 3" is #1, so we're now a nation of replicants.

If you click on the cache link in Google, the "paid" answers are cached at the bottom of the page-- no signup required. :)
- Jeremy Felt
Yeah the cache trick is nice but isn't that a violation of Google's TOS? providing different results to the crawler?
- Bill Pennington
from twhirl
No need for the cache...if you scroll all the way to the bottom the answers are there.
- Brian Newman
Interesting... if you open the link (non-cached) in a new tab, the answers don't show, but if you follow the link through google in the same tab, the answers do show at the bottom. Weird.
- Jeremy Felt
The answers are generally way, way on the bottom and only visible if you visit the thread from Google's search results. Frustrating: yes, but there is also a lot of good information in there...
- John μller
I'm not alone. I'd like to bad about.com too.
- Paul Grav
«Interesting... if you open the link (non-cached) in a new tab, the answers don't show, but if you follow the link through google in the same tab, the answers do show at the bottom.» This is even officially allowed by Google these days, it's called "first click free" (others might call it "sort of cloaking").
- Philipp Lenssen
I feel the same way about anything from Associated Content.

CustomizeGoogle extension for Firefox (or something similar) allows user to define filters for search to make it more usable.
- Daniel Schildt
Jeremy, set up a Firefox Quicksearch bookmark for Google searches and just exclude the bad domain there, using the following string in the Properties/Location field: http://www.google.com/search... -inurl%3Aexperts-exchange.com
- Erik Dafforn
Sorry, that truncated the URL. After .com, add /search?q=%s -inurl%3Aexperts-exchange.com
- Erik Dafforn
I was able to use info from EE only recently. I would just scroll down to see the answer. Even after they'd done something to prevent that, I would still hit a link that allowed me to scroll down and read what I needed.
- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
Totaly true. Everytime I search for JEE stuff this freaking pages pops up ...
- Marius Quadflieg
add "-expertsexchange.com" to your search query? just a thought.
- Dossy Shiobara
@dossy sometimes you have a dream to have it as permanent filter, preferably with feedback to original website that they are classified as morons by 10.000.000.000 users :)
- A.T.
I would like to do this as well, Experts Exchange is the biggest joke. Stack Overflow has everything any more... w/o hiding their answers.
- Nicholas Kreidberg
How do you configure a Custom Search Engine to exclude specific sites?
- Paul Grav
@Paul - once you've set up a CSE, follow the link that says "[Edit this search engine]" and look at the left-hand column under Control Panel for a link that says "Sites". Find the section called "Excluded sites" and then "Add Site". I think our user experience here could be better. The Custom Search Engines are incredibly powerful, but not nearly as discoverable as they could be.
- DeWitt Clinton
DeWitt, thanks for the reminder about CSE. It's an incredibly cool feature.
- Jason Wehmhoener
@Jason - thanks! Custom Search Engines are perhaps my favorite power feature that Google offers. Come to Google I/O and I'll show off something neat with them.
- DeWitt Clinton
There should really be a search experiment to do this. Exclude the follow sites from your results. SearchWiki doesn't do it AFAIK. I've thought about suggesting the search experiment at work but never got around to it. I think I shall today.
- EricaJoy
Erica: Google *does* offer a way to do this in your query. Try searching for YourKeyWord site:-siteIhate.com site:-OtherSiteIHate.com The "-" verbiage is how you tell the engine to *not* return results from those sites. Conversely, you could search "keyword site:MyFavoriteResource.com" to only return results from your intended target.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Scroll to the bottom works for me. And sometimes there's good answers. I think it's ridiculous that I have to scroll to the bottom but... for me it's not worth adding yet another extension or greasemonkey script.
- Robert DeBord
Haven't seen it in the comments, but you can always use the SaerchWiki Labs feature to remove any unnecessary results from view. I think you can go as far as 'ban' a domain.
- ElijahBailey-Zu of FF <0,
firefox addon which applies custom css styles to some websites will be very useful for EE. to show only questions and answer. hide all other crap from pages..
- Turkey banned Bloggum :(
How to have an answer to a question, in 110 comments. I love it when we help someone figure out something, FF exists with that underlying community feature: help. 9)
- ElijahBailey-Zu of FF <0,
Jason, it has nothing to do with being ugly. It has to do with them cluttering my search results with information that's behind a paywall.
- Matthew Gifford
It's a good thing they put that hyphen in there, "Expert Sexchange" is obviously not their business model!
- Ryan
Google's results have, IMO, been degrading over the years and EE is just one of the problems.
- Michael McKean
They are a PITA, show up everywhere but only display 1/2 of what you are looking for, very bothersome.

Am I the only person who hates the term "surfing" in respect to web browsing?

@Gabe, I don't particularly hate the term surfing, but I do think it's rather dated and Nintiesish.

It's true: I used IE to dl first three versions of Firefox, but ditched it due to bloatiness. Now I'm back to IE and Chrome.
- Jemm
you can try to pry ie from my dead cold hands :(

So, if were to somehow magically find a copy of Windows without IE, install it on a virgin computer, how do I get "the first" browser in there without a browser? I have to go to Babbage's and buy a Firefox 3.5" ?
- Matthew DeVries
Matthew, USB stick containing the Firefox installer.
- AJ Batac
AJ: What do you do when you configure a machine remotely?
- Gabe
If you can access the machine remotely, you can open up a folder (share) so you can dump in your Firefox installer.
- AJ Batac
I try and avoid using IE whenever possible If I go to someones house or to another computer, I bring my usb drive and use portable Opera or Firefox. I hate Internet Explorer. I refuse to use it. At least at my school they let you use IE or Firefox
- Patrick
from twhirl
@David Lynch You don't need IE to use Netlfix Watch Instantly. So stop using it! ;o)
- Paul Reynolds
IE8 is a much improved version, although Firefox is still milesahead imo
- Nicholas James
The one place where sadly I have to use IE, is with home grown enterprise apps that my company makes for getting at the databases, HR filings, etc. They mostly work Firefox, but when they don't hours of work can be wiped out :(
- Matthew DeVries
If somehow IE disappeared from your Windows computer, there's always "ftp ftp.mozilla.org" from the command line :)
- Victor Ganata
They forgot "testing code for the people too clueless to switch to something else." That's the only time I use it.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
@Matthew but then it wouldn't be FriendFeed :) ...seriously, comment ranking would allow more compact commenting because instead of dedicating a line each for "+1 whoever" (and typing it) you could just click an arrow-up or something and a score would appear next to it. If ya want, mouse-over the score to see who upped it. Let's make the web easier to use.
- Glenn Batuyong
I use it to test for clueless people and, sigh, Quickbooks ONLINE. Yep, I have to keep VMWare Fusion/XP/IE handy so I can use a web app. It's almost criminal.
- Paul Reynolds
Have you seen Hacker News? I love their ranking implementation :)
- AJ Batac
Glenn and thus killing the social website and making it a popularity website. It's just for finding out what your trusted followers think is interesting, not for building popularity through the coolness of your posts.
- Matthew DeVries
I am force fed IE @ work for enterprise apps. We might as well be using command line database software, IE only apps make me sick.
- Pete Delucchi
I don't even use IE to download Firefox, I use Firefox to download Firefox for other computers. Use a flash drive and use a portable version of Firefox.

In both cases I think my soul is on the balance. God however I think would know the motivation behind your adoration and the climate is indifferent (sorry Gaia)

This article, like Pascal's wager, suffers from the false premise. Pascal assumed either no God or God as described in the Bible. When you add the possiblity that there is a God unlike the Biblical one, his agrueme t falls apart. If you reconize the potential waste of money / loss of freedom of some green programs; doing nothing is a viable option.

Well, I guess you have no problems buying gas made from oil produced by the likes of Russia and Iran for the rest of your life then eh, Robert?
- Alex Scoble
Robert: doesn't that depend on the values to attribute to those? i would argue anyone who thought "potential waste of money" was more valuable than the earth surviving was a total fruitcake (aka crazy).
