"Two weeks ago, we launched version 2 of the FriendFeed API in beta. Since then, we've watched how developers have been using the API and collected a lot of their feedback. We've implemented some changes, and now, we're ready to remove the beta label!"

A two weeks beta in the 2.0 era sounds almost blasphem! Congrats!

Congrats to Ben and Gary for all their hard work getting this out the door. And thanks to all the developers who have been sending us great feedback the past couple weeks.

If you use the FriendFeed Facebook application make sure you've configured it properly. We are switching to a new method of publishing in the not too distant future. If you see this message at http://apps.facebook.com/friendf... just click on the link to provide the proper permissions. (via http://friendfeed.com/bgolub...)
A little late on the info as I deleted this link last week at I was told I was pushing all of my FF to FB people were not happy.
- Ed Mason
why do you not post the link comments from friendfeed to the wall? just the links loses 80% of the value.
- Gregor J. Rothfuss
I'm tired the FriendFeed Facebook app. keeps asking me to fix "the problem" so it can post to my wall. I don't want it to post to my wall! Contacts on Facebook and FriendFeed are different types for me. On Facebook it's about being friends in real life, on FriendFeed it is about interests. At least that is how I use FF and FB. My Facebook friends would probably feel I was spamming uninteresting stuff if my FF posts where copied to FB (well, at least if I used FF so intensive as I want to:-))...
- Stig Nygaard
Please let us select what to publish on FB from FF? I'd rather have tweets not appear on FB, particularly as I post from Ping.fm to FB and Twitter.
- Kol Tregaskes
New publishing method? I hope nothing will change for those FF users who don't use Facebook. (am I alone here?)
- Olivia Lovag
from twhirl
I agree with Gregor ... By not having the comment sent with the link, it's just plain and boring and I'd rather just post directly to Facebook. Unfortunately, however, this would negate the very useful benefit of using the "Share on FriendFeed" bookmarklet.
- Dewade Fowler
I don't mind it publishing to my wall, but I don't want it to be my status update. It worked fine before y'all fixed it! (Go ahead. Roll your eyes.) ;)
- Shawn Zehnder Rossi
I get that cannot publish message all the time, because I specifically took away its permissions to publish to my wall. If the FF app gave me some sort of control over what it put on my wall, then I'd give it permissions to do so. As it stands, if everything I posted to FF made it to my FB wall, I'd be defriended by 90% of my friends rather quickly.
- Otto
Yay for new publishing methods! stream.publish FTW!

I don't want to publish my friendfeed updates to facebook, they're too many. I blocked it and i'm always receiving error messages on facebook.

On the same environment, I saw that lite.facebook.com is fast as hell! With proxies, my comments gets directly inputted while FriendFeed takes a couple of seconds, one step at a time. And the message, as Oscar said, is always present if you decide to stop FriendFeed from posting to said service when you have the application on FB. It (script) thinks it wasn't decided, as if it was the...

Indeed, I do. I was so jealous when someone posted from the west coast about eating crepes filled with Nutella, whipped cream and strawberries, but there was nowhere I could go for that. I was in Cincinnati yesterday and took advantage of Jungle Jim's proximity to pick up some things I can't find in town, and when I saw crepes (which I will NOT make myself), I nabbed 'em! Now I need the other three ingredients.

No, it's disgusting. The worst such hazelnut cream produced, sticky, oversweet and at the same time flavorless. There are bunches of much better similar creams around, not necessarly hugely more costly: Novi cream is hugely better and still in the same price range!

@Eta, nutella is disgusting. not hazelnut creams. The point is that nutella has next to no hazelnut in, that's part of what makes it so bad. Again, try some better hazelnut creams, stuff that does not feel like sugary glue in your mouth but rather is silky with a distinct taste of toasted hazelnut. You will taste the difference.

A little late on this phase aren't they? If this were true Bush would have killed Osama after a much shorter period of time to capture the glory and tie up the loose ends.
- Todd Hoff
That is assuming that Bush was in the loop, which he almost certainly wasn't (positing the existence of such a loop). It is unlikely that any public official would be. But, yes: it is logical to assume that whoever was in the loop would have knocked off bin Laden long before now.
- Sean McBride
His loopiness doesn't matter, the timing is still wrong.
- Todd Hoff
The timing *is* wrong for that scenario. But something still feels completely off about this entire narrative.
- Sean McBride
Why might people who had the power to kill bin Laden at any time during the last decade choose to do so now? And bury his body and richly fact-filled brain at sea immediately? Pardon me if I think about this a bit. If you are confident that you know what is going on, fine. :)
- Sean McBride
How would the narrative be better? Capture him and put him on trial and it's a nightmare. Capture him without press would be a sacrifice no politician would make. Kill him and leave the body and you've created a shrine. Kill have and bury the body and it will be found and you've created more enemies and a shrine. Kill him and butcher him into a million pieces and you've done the same...

Usually the rule is, kill the patsy as soon as possible. Every day that the patsy is walking around is a potential threat.

Which is why that scenario is illogical.
- Todd Hoff
Why would it be a "nightmare" to put OBL on trial? If all the facts are on your side, you are going to crush him in an international media spectacle that will be widely viewed by the entire world, and then execute him. AFTER picking his brain to extract every last detail that would help roll up his entire network. What better way to obtain closure on 9/11?
- Sean McBride
Our weeny politicians were afraid to put lessor terrorists on trial in NY. Can you imagine would it be like with Osama? Facts are irrelevant to what will happen here, for both sides.
- Todd Hoff
I don't think they were afraid. I think they were under heavy pressure from certain elements in the government to squelch a public and transparent trial of the alleged 9/11 "masterminds," much of whose testimony was extracted by extreme torture. There are major problems with the case; most of the details of it should have leaked out to the mainstream media a long time go.
- Sean McBride
It is simply unbelievable that the US government wouldn't have had the highest possible interest in acquiring access to the full content of OBL's mind. That is where the bad smell about this narrative is strongest. Under any realistic scenario, Obama should have moved heaven and earth to capture OBL alive, with his brain intact. They had months to figure out how to accomplish that objective.
- Sean McBride
What makes you still think Osama still had operational value? Maybe the upside isn't as high as you think and the downside is bottomless.
- Todd Hoff
Todd: You said: "Could you use him to take down the network? Obviously not or they would have done that." What do you mean? Once OBL was in custody, they could have used a wide variety of methods over time (and I am not referring to blatant torture), to extract every fact in his head. Do they even really care about the ghostly "al-Qaeda," whose most visible representive in recent years has been a California kid named Adam Gadahn?
- Sean McBride
Every contact that OBL has ever had in the last few decades would be of enormous intelligence interest, especially if OBL really was the ringleader of 9/11 and the head of al-Qaeda. Shouldn't that be obvious? Especially given the state of automated social network analysis these days? OBL could have provided leads galore that tracked to current operations.
- Sean McBride
You can't really contend that Osama was a patsie and had valuable intel at the same time. In any case, what role does he still play in the organization? What role did he ever play? Don't you think al-Qaeda is another con anyway? Compare that against the risks of keeping him alive. If they would have failed again to capture him or kill him it would have been a nightmare. The trial would...

In the game of international politics, patsies may well possess valuable information about operations, including information that they don't know is valuable, and information that they don't even know they have (and which only becomes meaningful information in combination with information from other sources). I find it amazing that you don't believe that OBL would have been much more...

Sean, I find it impossible to believe you don't see the vast downside of all the options and can simultaneously think Osama a patsie and that he has valuable intel.
- Todd Hoff
the whole "event" & "situation" sounds a little too convenient & "fishy" to me & I am very familiar with international politics
- Mekkar
Todd: I don't know if OBL was a patsy or not: in his first interview after 9/11 he denied any responsibility for 9/11, and the FBI never considered him to be a suspect for 9/11. I do know that the information in his head was extremely valuable, and would have answered many open questions about 9/11 (one way or the other with regard to his specific involvement or non-involvement) and provided many leads to current al-Qaeda operations.
- Sean McBride
You know, why doesn't the press just ask Barack Obama: why did you choose to kill rather than capture OBL? Then listen to how much sense he makes. So far Obama hasn't made a shred of sense in trying to justify his escalation of the failed Afghanistan and Afpak Wars. Much of what is going on in current American foreign policy doesn't make any sense at all -- there is a hidden agenda in play that has nothing to do with stated policy.
- Sean McBride
Todd: Afghanistan promised to hand over Osama bin Laden to the United States, if we simply provided proof of his guilt for 9/11. Bush refused to do so, and instead of easily rolling up al-Qaeda in 2002, we launched a series of failed wars that have cost the American taxpayer trillions of dollars, while vastly enriching the military-industrial complex and damaging the overall American...

- Sean McBride
The contention was this being a false flag op, which doesn't make sense. The buried at sea outcome makes sense and IMHO is not evidence. The wars of course and Osama's guilt are different issues. If Osama was a patsy they would have taken him out immediately if not during the attack.
- Todd Hoff
Todd -- there are many types and varieties of false flag ops. One type is to enable the ability of a patsy to commit a crime without the knowledge of the patsy. In that kind of situation there is no problem for the enablers: they are hidden behind the scene, beyond the knowledge of the patsy. John F. Kennedy Jr. was exploring this kind of scenario for George Magazine with regard to the...

Todd -- you know that the Muslim terrorist cell that bombed the World Trade Center was under the control of the FBI, right? Google [emad salem]. In some ways, the World Trade Center bombing was a trial run for 9/11 -- would you agree?
- Sean McBride
Todd -- we've barely scratched the surface of the issues under discussion here, and I would love to puruse this. But take your time. By the way, often I just place a marker on the board for the purpose of instigating speculation, discussion, debate etc. The entry at the head of this thread is a typical example -- I was thinking of many topics, not just OBL. I don't have fixed opinions about OBL -- I am still sifting through a great deal of contradictory information about that subject.
- Sean McBride
Observation: no one seems to want to disagree with the assertion that the Muslim terrorist cell which bombed the World Trade Center was under the control of the US government. So what conclusions should one draw from facts like this?

WOW. Open Chrome, go to chrome://settings/passwords, select an account, click "Show Password". BOOM! Anyone who can access your computer can see your saved passwords.
Can't you do that in any browser? I seem to remember it being really easy to access the list of stored passwords in Firefox, as well. This is part of the reason I never bother letting my browser store my passwords.

You shouldn't use the save password feature built into browsers anyway. Even if it's encrypted then the encryption must be reversible, and the key must be stored on your computer. It's never been safe. They should just remove the feature imo.

To be perfectly clear, the SQL standard does NOT define a semicolon as a statement terminator. MySQL and other SQL systems permit the use of it between multiple statements, but it's not required after a single statement (you can alternately use \g, for example). And, yes, you might quibble with the logic, but I want all the beers that are now available or will become available. I assume that the ones that were made available in the past have all been gedranken.
