Two spaces! - James E. Lee

Yeah, as much as I don't consider it a sufficient total backup strategy, it's a great component of one. I love the simplicity! - James E. Lee

Thank goodness! If you continue to hang out on Twitter, you should import your Twitter feed into Facebook so you're FB friends can see and comment on what you say. Click down arrow at top of your Profile tabs to import the RSS feed. - James E. Lee

Heh, I wrote that via the FriendFeed app (nicely embedded) in Facebook, and told FriendFeed to also send it as an @reply tweet. - James E. Lee

Sad that this is even on the market. - James E. Lee

This is the article that tipped me off about the HP Officejet J6480. - James E. Lee

This is spot-on, and is part of why I used to hang out on FriendFeed (pre-Facebook) even though I'm a staunch advocate of feed readers and the fact that they standardize the look & feel of everything. As good as it is, even my preferred Google Reader doesn't do as job as FriendFeed of enriching the rich content. I now read FriendFeed via the Facebook app. I wonder why Dave W. doesn't just microblog on Facebook. Almost everyone I know is there, and I don't have to sell the idea or explain it to them. So I've started to hang out, microblog, and route stuff that I want to share through FB. With as much as it can import & do, I'm starting to question the need for FriendFeed. Apropos the unknown stuff about FF, I wonder if Dave W. will see this comment? Would he have if I'd written it upon sharing in Google Reader? Or written it on Facebook? - James E. Lee

I found one thing about FriendFeed that's better than direct import to Facebook: I have a separate tab on my FB profile for my FriendFeed. This prevents my FB Wall from being too noisy, which it would be if I routed all the stuff to it that I currently bring together with FriendFeed. This is important because unless my FB friends choose to "See less about James", they probably see everything that gets posted to my Wall. I don't see an obvious way to make an arbitrary Tab on FB. - James E. Lee

Isn't that why you got the Drobo? Good luck! - James E. Lee

There's way too much aggregation of things going on, and I'm not even a heavy user of all of the services. Between Facebook, Delicious, Twitter, and FriendFeed, not to mention blogs and emailed links, it's already getting to be too much. - Greg Haverkamp

I agree! I like all this stuff, but it's all trying so hard to inter-operate and connect that sometimes even I get confused! Heh, ironically, I'm posting this comment via the Facebook FriendFeed app, which I have to say, does work pretty nicely. I make my publicly-visible FriendFeed available on my Facebook profile, and read my view of it via the app. It would be nice to have metrics on how many people - if any - actually look at the FriendFeed tab on my Facebook profile... - James E.

Yahoo! Mail uses DomainKeys to combat phishing. Simply put, DomainKeys is a technology that helps fight against email forgery. It verifies that messages are really from the domain they claim to be from (and that they haven't been altered during the sending process). Yahoo! Mail does all the verification legwork. Look for the DomainKeys icon in messages to see if the senders have been verified. - James E. Lee

DKIM is intended as a value-added feature for email. Mail that is not signed by DKIM is handled in the same way as it was before DKIM was defined. The message will be evaluated by established analysis and filtering techniques. (A signing policy may provide additional information for that analysis and filtering.) Over time, widespread DKIM adoption could permit more strict handling of messages that are not signed. However early benefits do not require this and probably do not warrant this. DKIM's capabilities have a narrow scope. It is an enabling technology, intended for use in the larger context of determining message legitimacy. This larger context is complex, so it is easy to assume that a component like DKIM, which actually provides only a limited service, instead satisfies the broader set of requirements. - James E. Lee

DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) lets an organization take responsibility for a message while it is in transit. The organization is a handler of the message, either as its originator or as an intermediary. Their reputation is the basis for evaluating whether to trust the message for delivery. Technically DKIM provides a method for validating a domain name identity that is associated with a message through cryptographic authentication. - James E. Lee

Interview with Dropbox Founder Drew Houston 1) The first obvious question - what makes Dropbox different from the other online backup / storage solutions? Drew: Unlike other companies, which tackle only backup (e.g. Mozy), or only sync (e.g. Foldershare), or just putting files online (e.g. box.net), we provide one solution to all of the problems people have managing their files. I was looking for some kind of continuous rsync + subversion + tortoisesvn-style-shell-integration + web access holy grail, found it didn’t exist, and then got to work.. - James E. Lee

multiply that by hundreds of users using dozens of pumps each day and your “insignificant” interface deficiency is no longer so insignificant [read gas pump example] - James E. Lee

If you moved to a Tivo HD, you could subscribe to the ONN and have them delivered to you on your TV as they're released. (Of course, I understand Apple TV does the same.) - Greg Haverkamp

Each parking provider chooses the dates to make their space(s) available and the price to charge. GottaPark then allows you to search through the list of available spots for the dates you are interested in and select the one that best suits your needs. - James E. Lee

Real BBQ flavor comes from the smoke produced from using real fruitwoods and hardwoods. - James E. Lee

And as is the case with many third-person action game cameras, getting in a smaller space means claustrophobic camera angles that cause you to lose perspective of the bigger picture. This is more of a problem here than in most games, though, because Force Unleashed chooses a target not based on the direction the player is facing via the camera, but which direction Starkiller is facing. [This is what I disliked when playing the demo. It's not as bad as in Army of Two, but I really don't care for this approach to video games. I wish they'd made it a real FPS, or taken a page from GRAW] - James E. Lee

I think some people (myself included) dumbly used it as a search box, unintentionally - selecting content type prevents that... - Christopher Galtenberg

I never had that problem. What was confusing was that after a search the top input box was turning into the search box, instead of staying as before. It was consistency issue. - Alejandro

Yes. Please, please, please move it back to the right. On the left, it interferes with the flow of reading the feeds. I have wide screens and i prefer the right. At the very least, give me the option. I'm going back back to using standard, non-beta. It's driving me nuts. - ·[▪_▪]·

I do love the new posting options, though (eg. photos, link.) - Cassandra

[This is the pesticide Terminix uses at our house. I want to research its safety.] - James E. Lee

What's a remote key? A remote key is a kind of password that you can give to third-party applications and websites to let them interact with FriendFeed on your behalf. There are limits to what can be done using a remote key, which means it's a lot safer than giving a site your FriendFeed password - James E. Lee

Whenever you visit a new page, Chrome examines the IP address of every link on the page, and does a DNS resolution for each. [Um, this could be really *bad* in some cases, so make sure you want it enabled if you're using Chrome.] - James E. Lee
