just got the expired domain 486dx.com, no idea what I'll do w/it, but the nerd in me is happy I got it!
Whatever you make, it needs a Turbo button. - Kevin Fox
i want 486sx. my family was cheap and wouldn't spring for the dx. - MG Siegler
Indeed, Turbo button is required. - Chris Charabaruk
A worth while investment :) - Connor "The Lazy Geek"

Oh yeah, did I mention that PS/2 486DX2 machine was running OS/2 Warp? Best. OS. EVAR! - Steve and 3 other people
Sweet! I did some of my best programming on the 486DX. Actually I still got one of them. Good times. Those were the days. :-) - John McCullough
Chris, Turbo button! Exactly. - Micah
The 486 took me through university, but I remember having Pentium envy part way through. - Micah
But remember the actual function of the turbo button was to slow things down! lol - Pat Hawks

Charter To File Bankruptcy - http://www.mediapost.com/publica...
Paul Allen tanks another company and screws the investors to boot: Charter Communications, the fourth-largest U.S. cable operator,plans to file a prearranged Chapter 11 bankruptcy by April 1, reports AP. Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft, reached an agreement with key debt holders. He will keep the largest votign interest in the company, but common stock, which are shareholder stakes, will be wiped out. Allen invested more than $7 billion in Charter. - Leo Laporte

Sitting in the car in my jammies waiting for Henry to get his braces adjusted. Thank goodness for Audible. And tinted glass.
make sure not to snooze off Racoon eyes can be hideous. - Stephen Lecheler from IM
How much do braces cost these days? My 14 yr old skateboarder needs them too. - Brad Stolba
Amen to both--Audible and the Tinted Windows - Jim Adams
I really miss Tech TV Leo. - Edward Kimble
Ahhh what we do for our kids. The iPod is magic, couple that with podcasts (Twit :) ), Audible and music and life can be less tedious. - TheSleepyGeek

Thanks to @TVSquad for the great write up. http://www.tvsquad.com/2009... For the record it costs us $443/hour to produce this stuff. Cheep.

Yeah it looks like my Twitter account was hacked and the password and email changed. No stray posts. Yet.
Get hold of them. Quickly. - Roberto Bonini
Oh geez... Did you still have an active session open? - FFing Enigma
WHAT?!?!?! Jeez....did you Super Gen Pass the password? - Live4Emma (L4S)
I've posted a note on my Twitter feed, hopefully it'll make it to the Twitter folk. - Dave Winer
Ouch Leo. Hope Twitter gets that account back to you real-soon-now. - Robert Miller
wow, thats not a good thing... - Bryce Campbell from twhirl
Mine changed while I had an active session going! Change password - orionstarr
Leo got hacked! - orionstarr
I did not fall for the recent Phishing scheme so one of three things has happened, my password was hacked through a flaw in Twitter, one of the many services (NOT twply) that I gave my credentials to has hijacked it, or someone guessed the password. - Leo Laporte
Yep, spam and mlm are going to be a massive problem for Twitter mainly because spammers have a business model and twitter does not, here's an article I wrote on this topic just before Christmas http://experiencecurve.com/archive... - karl
I figured there would be some good conversation on TWiT regarding the hacks, now even more so. - Matt Mutz
This is not about pfishing.. this is something else - Ian D. Nock
i'll assume you put a strong password on somehow, yes? So that would mean something gave away your password or there was a bored hacker somewhere that zapped you...sorry to hear that.... - Live4Emma (L4S)
That's Harsh. It had to have been Kevin Rose. He knew you were on to him - Marcus Beagley
STEVE JOBS ADMITS HEALTH PROBLEM http://tinyurl.com/stevejo... - James Carroll
@Leo - Maybe one of those third party services isn't securely storing your credentials and it was stolen from them. I'm saying that maybe the third party isn't malicious, just careless. - Mitch
uh oh - Veronica
Leo, the Twitter official blog says they reset the passwords on your behalf - David Lloyd
Was Leo using Power Twitter at the time? New App new problem, coincidence? - SkiCat56
Get on the Red Phone and get @ev on the line. I've always knew giving out login credentials to 3rd party apps would lead to this. I like ping.fm and FF's use of an API key a lot better. - Dave Senior
Twitter needs to say more about what it was.. but my feeling this is something in the infrastructure or through people ... after all, Obama has not used his account for sometime. - Ian D. Nock
And you can bet that no-one messes around with all the apps using that account - Ian D. Nock
Well let's hope they don't make any horrible statements on your behalf about your sexual orientation or organs. :-) - Dave Winer
Twitter should use also something like apikey like ff, password for controlling your account and apikey for getting your content... or something like that :) - tanel
I heard from a reliable twitter account that Bill O'Reily is hot for manflesh.... - Mitch
No self-respecting gay man wants Bill O'Reilly. Not. A. One. - Derrick
Twitter may have reset my password but they haven't told me yet. Maybe they need my email? - Leo Laporte
Not even his "staunch morals"? - Mitch
I bet they wished they had followed Dave's advice about the authentication key thingy xx - David Lloyd
I'm not a celebrity so probably no need to worry, but I changed my password nonetheless. - Herb Hernandez
That's why I don't use 3rd party web services, don't trust any. Also Log-in on twitter.com using https. - Jay Barcelo
Is Power Twitter one of the culprits??? I might have to uninstall it. - Roberto Bonini
New official blog post says "These accounts were compromised by an individual who hacked into some of the tools our support team uses to help people do things like edit the email address associated with their Twitter account when they can't remember or get stuck" - David Lloyd
Good grief! This is getting ridiculous. - Bill Sodeman
Hey now.. that's not cool. What did Leo ever do to you? Albrecht voices/suspects a hack on Diggnation podcast and now this? - Jamie Wareham
Geez Leo what a pain. I am sorry to hear.... - Rob Cairns
Is nothing sacred anymore? Seriously, Leo's Twitter! - Mike Syrek
Good luck Leo! - Mitchell Tsai
Seems you weren't the only one. http://www.cnn.com/2009... - Greg
There's a security hole in some "support pages" used by Twitter admins. Inside job I say. Disgruntled former Twitterite. - Scott Duffy
What's the procedure to get your account back? - David Andrzejewski
is there second email facility for twitter, like gmail does? - marx
Same here, actually. I haven't been able to log in or to reset my password since about 11am today. I did not fall for the phishing attack either. I was using Power Twitter, which I installed yesterday. I can still update Twitter and get my DMs via SMS, but otherwise I'm locked out. Thankfully, there are no stray posts yet on my timeline. I sent Twitter a bug report through their help screen earlier today, but haven't heard back from them yet. - alex de carvalho
Power twitter did NOT affect my account at all. That's just a Firefox add on and it does NOT ask for your password, so I doubt that would be an issue. I think this is more of a pointed attack to go for twitter's management; PR attack. Notice how pointed the accounts are that were hacked -- many *high profile* accounts...that's not a mistake, that was done on purpose. Leo was a victim and I hope they catch that / those jerks! - Susan Beebe

Home again after a 12-hour flight! My son, Henry, says the best thing about traveling is coming home. The kid's a sage.
Welcome home Leo & Hanry! We missed you. Hoping all goes well for Jennifer. - Mark W. Violet from twhirl
My thoughts are with your wife, Leo. It can't be easy staying behind, no matter how beautiful the country is. Hopefully she will be with you again shortly. - Eric Geller
Welcome home, Leo! Glad you made it back in one piece, best of luck to Jennifer. - teleken
Welcome home. Happy New Year - Jim Adams
Viva La Petaluma! - decjr

Jennifer asked me, what's the difference between what I do and Rush Limbaugh. I told her, about $400 million.
And how about you don't spout lies as truths, but rather deliver facts. - Kat

Know why it's good to be jobless? I'm going to sit in front of the TV watching crappy election coverage all damn day. DRINKING BEER. NAKED.
Crap! I loved Pop Siren and Internet Superstar. Stupid Revision3! - ·[▪_▪]·
I just have one thing to ask. What kind of beer? - Leo Laporte
You will return! - Dan Nimtz
Why don't you start your own podcast? I'm sure GoDaddy and others would hop on as advertisers! Get a TubeMogul account and be your own syndicate company! Heck... Contact @moth at NextNewNetworks and pitch a show... start up a wiki and look for some volunteers for writing and motion graphics... YOU CAN DO IT.... - Taiwan Brown
I just have one thing to ask. How naked? - Josh Haley
Turn on a webcam! :-) - Robert Scoble
as they say in Azeroth, screenshot or it didn't happen. - Chris Hollander
Leo, I offered to ensure she had good beer by sending her some of our awesome home craft brews (www.gatheringbrews.com). I simply await the request, and I'll send enough to get her through the next election :) - Bob M. Montgomery from twhirl
Yo! That sounds like fun ;-) - Sally Church
Ok, it is not too late, get out on the street, volunteer to help at the poles, but put on clothes first. - Lorraine Ball
I'll be right over! - Jason Shultz from twhirl
@leolaporte Anchor Steam, natch! - Sarah Lane
@Brian Norwood Sorry, my condolences on your unemployment, but offer only good to Sarah Lane :) We're firm supporters of naked electioneering and Pop Sirens. Wait, that doesn't sound right... - Bob M. Montgomery from twhirl

If I was with you I'd be having a better day. - Robert Hafer
Hey i've beeing doing that for ages. Just don't forget to put the clothes back on when you run out of beer. - Pedro Fonseca

My to-do list site, Remember the Milk, has released a Blackberry sync program - sweet. Well done Bob and Cow. http://www.rememberthemilk.com/

rtm needs to be able to sync with Palms. - Dan Nimtz from Alert Thingy
Yes, RTM is a superb app that deserves greater recognition. There is no sync program for my Palm Treo, but the mobile web app works great, and I also love the Gmail, Gcal, and iGoogle integration. - Andrew Carpenter from Alert Thingy
When i was looking for a todo list there was RTM or Hiveminder. RTM has more features but seemed harder to use and didn't have Hiveminder's braindump feature which I've found is great to just sit and hammer out tasks and then go back and organize them. - Bryan
I liek RTM but the UI is a bit week. Hiveminder has some awesome features, but the ui is also dense and its in (gak) Perl. So it wont scale. - Soulhuntre from twhirl

Sure, take a day off - just do it in front of your camera :-) - Dan Nimtz
Yeah! Just take a day off in front of the camera - Tyler (Chacha) from twhirl
Sure first Twitter is down, now Leo... Wasn't he built to scale :) - Andrew Smith
Sure, I agree that you should do it in front of the camera. You're the only thing that keeps me sane when I go home. - Denise

Wow, way to take a happy thread to a real crappy place, FoL. Life, the world, blessings - none of this is a closed pie system. Just because one person "has" doesn't necessarily follow that others "don't have." You don't have to take away from one to give to another. If you're looking for answers on the nature of God and his blessings, the FriendFeed comments are not it. I'd suggest consulting a religious leader, theologian, or at least, a religion reference website. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
