Turns out I'm of the Mayan persuasion. Who knew? - AJCann

Atheism as a religion ? - Ozgur Demir

Louis: the important part of religious humor is that it is equally offensive to all religions ;) - Bret Taylor

I agree with Louis (and have been cringing every time I see this shared) - Jesse Stay

Bret, that's understood. Jokes are jokes, but some religions fare worse in this one, and rely on old stereotypes/falsehoods that should go away. - Louis Gray

ow funny. Randy: myth - Christopher Galtenberg

But what if you like hummus, bacon, and want to be reincarnated? :) - Cristo

Like, on Twitter? - Steve Lynch from twhirl

Useful for me in London! Thanks. - Clay B.

A Scottish accent is also rhotic. - Paul Grav

I use the R loads more than most people, meaning I get called posh a lot. I'm not, I just pronounce my words properly. I speak the Queens English don't you know. - Toby Graham

I don't think they took Android seriously (even the iPhone surprised them) and they decided it was important to have premium placement on the Palm Pre market. - DMKrow

Well, regardless, its done and P on Android is rockin. Anyone who has used the iPhone app have any input on how it compares? - Adrian from Android

It even works well on Edge. Can't say the same for any of the other streaming players on Android. - Adam Karl

Just installed it. Works great! :) - Joe Bonner

DIE! - Josh Haley

now, if this were in episodes 1, 2 or 3 I'd have enjoyed the movie ;) - alphaxion

Jar jar??? - Roberto Bonini from iPhone

And nothing of value was lost. - Carlton Prest

Brilliant. Short sweet and simple. Should be allowed to stand up in court to be fair... but cest la vie heh. - MoH

That's pretty much what all software EULAs say - LANjackal

Robin Hood's baby clothes?! - Tammy Hoeck

you'll have to excuse my wife... how dare she insult Link that way! :P - Tim Hoeck

Recursion :) - alfred westerveld

Love it! - Имплантант from iPhone

I kept hitting it repeatedly hoping something new would happen. It didn't :) - mike fabio

Private Sanjeev - *laugh* - Andrew C

love it. - Ron George

Subtle yet amazing! - Veetrag

Private Sanjeev ... yea now that would be cool easter egg :) - Bhowmik Shah

lol - Rick Cogley

Did you mean recursion? LOL! http://www.google.com/search... - Jordi Rosell

A friendfeed easter egg for those who know what recursion is: http://friendfeed.com/mattcut... - Tanath

Ha ha, Tanath! - Rick Cogley

Awesome! - Ladybug Heather

LOL @ Tanath! - Ladybug Heather

This reminds me of the index in PRIMOS user manuals. The entry for "circular reference" is "see recursion". The entry for "recursion" is "see circular reference". (PRIMOS is the operating system used on Prime Computers in 70's and early 80's) - Gary Burd

Gary, I haven't used PRIMOS since like 8th grade. I love that someone else remembers PRIMOS. I learned on a PRIMOS system before I went to college and discovered Unix. - Matt Cutts

Good stuff. Note though that (at least for me), you don't get the easter egg from following the link. You have to post the query from the search page itself. Then, BINGO. Also, well played, Tanath :) - Micah Wittman

this one post sent me down SO MANY rabbit trails on math heh - Tyler Gillies

What's recursion? - Christian (Simply X)

Wow. Four places to get "good espresso" in SF--but none in Berkeley, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Santa Barbara, the entire state of Nevada... Those standards are way too exacting for 'umble palates like mine. - Walt Crawford

Yummmmm - Rob Schonberger

Rob - You're in Sydney, right? Probably my favourite spot for coffee in Oz. (Admittedly, I haven't spent a lot of time in Melbourne). - Michael Nielsen

While I completely agree with the statement regarding the inverse relationship between access to quick and "painless" forms of travel and the feeling of vastness of a world (or the influence of the former in the latter) I don't think that we need one to achieve the other. In Guild Wars, for instance, they have instant travel between the safe hubs, but you still need to walk the long walk to get to some place in the wilderness. I feel like this method could be a happy medium. - Federico Figueredo

I liked the Guild Wars approach. I also like WoW's though, but it's a different feel. WoW encourages groups. For travel, mages and warlocks can transport others more conveniently than the NPCs do (with town to town flights), and that encourages people to join groups, or at least talk to other people to get their help with travel. In Guild Wars, I could do everything by myself, even get... more... - Amit Patel

If you've ever played City of Heroes you'd know that fast travel can be done very effectively while still showing the expansiveness of the game AND increasing the fun and gameplay. Why Blizzard didn't learn the major lessons from City of Hero (allow everyone to play with everyone, in fact incentivize it AND don't make people waste game time walking from one place to another) is still a mystery to me to this day. - Alex Scoble

Most of the time in WoW when people (and I) complain about travel time it's while on a low level chara that hasn't gotten to the point of fastish travel. Other times it's because in a group we don't have a summon possible (a warlock or a stone outside the instance). To me, having instant transportation available to everyone at no cost (other then a hearthstone) is so unrealistic it takes away from the whole game. - Heather

Doesn't _needing_ fast travel show the expansiveness of the game? - Andy Bakun

@Amit Patel -- True, I guess the fact that I could ditch people and play the game solo on demand was one of the reasons I bought it. @Alex Scoble -- And that means of transportation is? @Heather -- valid point, although this is often less wall breaking than you put it. Since the means present at this time are merely a balance sprung tool for gameplay balance (rather than coming merely from a narrative background.) Nothing says that we can have perfectly coherent fast traveling tools for everyone. - Federico Figueredo

John, that is EPIC =) If we don't have other plans, we usually go grab a bite to eat and find a movie that looks intriguing on our cable's on-demand service. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

I asked her towards the end if this is the nerdiest thing we have ever done... She said, and I quote, "I don't know, we've been together 14 years. I'm sure you would've made me do something equally nerdy in that time" - Johnny Worthington

That. Was. EPIC. - Steven Perez

How long did that really take? That was awesome! - Josh Haley

1 hour, 4 minutes... - Johnny Worthington

I am stepping away to clean out my old lego THIS INSTANT! - Josh Haley

Go hard, sir - Johnny Worthington

Bump cause my wife is teh awesome - Johnny Worthington

ha ha i beat you biatch - Rachael Worthington

Excellent. The only thing missing was a wall clock. For the rematch dump them into the same pile. - Scott Jangro

BofA supports Chrome? Wow. I'm stunned. Chrome has become my favorite browser. - Ha3rvey (not Akiva)

I tried our sharepoint site on Chrome. And. It. Works. - Ginger Makela Riker

It's interesting that they list Chrome explicitly, but so far I haven't encountered any site (that I normally use) where Chrome didn't Just Work. - Tudor Bosman

or is it because BofA did not have to do anything to support Chrome, but they take credit for it? - kartik vaithyanathan

In all fairness, I think they're just being as complete as possible (although no Opera mention, teehee). I wouldn't call it an informed endorsement, as they're still recommending Internet Explorer for Mac 5. - Mark Trapp

What!?!? You mean that I won't be able to watch my videos with my Netscape Navigator Gold any more. That is bull shit! If I can still see google with it, every web site should support it. - Wizetux

LOL - Shey, Jamaican of FF

Although we can all debate about watching Youtube at work, I thought I remembered seeing something that said that IE6 still had a very considerable share of the browser market recently, mainly from corporations that didn't want to bother upgrading to IE7/8. I wonder if this will spur any of them to upgrade. :) - Bryan Zirkel

That's probably very true Bryan. And it probably won't make a difference since it's hard to present a business case for why you should be allowed to watch Youtube videos at work. :P - Shey, Jamaican of FF

I was about to say the same, Shey ... IE6-bound IT admins will probably rejoice at this news since for all practical purposes YouTube will be blocking itself - LANjackal

these are situations that call for about 10 like buttons. liking once just isn't sufficient. - chrisofspades

indeed - Shey, Jamaican of FF

Long live IE6. Wait, no, scratch that. - Sparky, a big deal

They should throw in IE7 while they're at it - Cassidy

@Cassidy Yup - Shey, Jamaican of FF
