So it's since Tuesday huh? The ultimate thread. How will the thread die then? We must have a limit for that, let's say 24h without one comment.

As a side note, I do have to applaud the endurance and pettiness of those of us on FriendFeed. No one on Facebook gave this status update a second look!

Mike will get in the last word. Eventually. Everyone else is an idiot for playing his little game. Me included. :-)

I'm not actually playing. Or, if I am, I'm playing to lose.

HAHA! You see that? Robert Scoble acknowledges I will eventually win! HAHA! FINALLY! For once in my life, I win! :) :) :) :) Unless Logical shows up...

Nah, the FFundercats live chat pushed that one way over the top. We are, however, testing the limits oh how sick people are getting of setting my face.

This thread has a lot of comments, that must mean Mike is an expert of some kind...or maybe an A-Lister. Must stalk^H^H^H^H^Hinvestigate him...

All right, if you're going to play that way, Raijin AND Ajisukitakahikone are BOTH mad at you. And Raijin was especially unhappy because you interrupted his NOMmage of children's bellybuttons.

Dude, my best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Raijin put down the platter.

We'd be content, of course, if you (Mike) issued a public retraction of the assertion in your post, followed by allowing someone else to post the last comment in the thread ;-)

You know at some point, expanding this comment will really put a strain on mortal browsers. It already has a 3 second pause to expand it.

I wonder if at some point we will hit a soft limit and FF won't let it keep going. That or they look at this as a great high-bounds test case for the system.

Great experiment there, I'm somewhat scared opening the thread here. Funny thing, Even the explosion of words spawned through this, making it a wordle madness. http://www.wordle.net/gallery...

- Daniel Morgan
No you just don't know I posted this.
- John D Reasor
cant the person that started this block the comments now? and thereby win.
- Morgan
If you can get buddy buddy with mike and figure out his schedule, you can prevent him from stopping the comments because you'll always be able to get the last word in. We must prevail for great justice!

That would be cheating, and he knows it :)

you didn't disable the comments yet? you could comment and then do it and then you really would get the last word. but then again, that's cheating. and cheaters never prosper.

@Neal yea, we really need a FriendFeed meetup. I might be up there for Web 2.0 in March...or we can have one at SXSW if a large number of us are going. Let's plan and get the Upcoming page going.
- Mark Krynsky
@Mark Not gonna make SXSW, but am definitely down for working on an FF get together. March is long enough away to make sure plenty of people have time to plan ahead. I added you on Upcoming so we can start coordinating it. Anyone else interested/want to help set this up?
- Neal "thePuck" Jansons
Maybe we can talk Paul & Bret into letting us invade the FF offices for a meetup in conjunction with Web 2.0? That would be sooooo cool!

Pinned! sheesh this just cost me 1/2 hour of time as I scrolled thru all the folks :)

Quantum teleportation has achieved a new milestone or, should we say, a new ten-milestone: scientists have recently had success teleporting information between photons over a free space distance of nearly ten miles, an unprecedented length. The researchers who have accomplished this feat note that this brings us closer to communicating information without needing a traditional signal, and that the ten miles they have reached could span the distance between the surface of the earth and space.

"THE EXPENDABLES is a hard—hitting action/thriller about a group of mercenaries hired to infiltrate a South American country and overthrow its ruthless dictator. Once the mission begins, the men realize things aren’t quite as they appear, finding themselves caught in a dangerous web of deceit and betrayal. With their mission thwarted and an innocent life in danger, the men struggle with an even tougher challenge – one that threatens to destroy this band of brothers. Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) is a man with nothing to lose. Fearless and void of emotion, he is the leader, the sage and the strategist of this tight—knit band of men who live on the fringe. His only attachment is to his pickup truck, his seaplane and his team of loyal modern—day warriors. His is a true cynic who describes what he does as “removing those hard to get at stains.” The team behind him is made up of Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), former SAS and a savant with anything that has a blade; Yin Yang (Jet Li), a...

"How many ways can a star go “kaboom!”? It might depend on what kind of galaxy the star lives in, astronomers said last week. For the last 20 years, astronomers seeking to measure the cosmos have used a special type of exploding star, known as Type 1a supernovas, as distance markers. They are thought to result when stars known as white dwarfs grow beyond a certain weight limit, setting off a thermonuclear cataclysm that is not only bright enough to be seen across the universe but is also remarkably uniform from one supernova to the next. Using them, two teams of astronomers a little more than a decade ago reached the startling and now widely held conclusion that some “dark energy” was speeding up the expansion of the universe."

Just was talking to http://www.friendfeed.com/garin and we came to the conclusion that if you are going to comment on a friendfeed item you should either be first or last. Why? They always are visible. So, here's your chance! :-)
Any worthy FF thread will engage interested parties enough to read most of the comments.

Hey Enrique.. that would suck. Oh... LAST! Oh Jeff... Last.
- Ted Bradford II
That's why these threads just go on and on and on... people just want to have the last word. ;-P
- Chris Heath
Chris: I don't want the last word. I want the penultimate word. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Nope, I like the riffng of the conversation. Jump in anywhere. Enjoy the free flow of ideas and worry not about being seen by the scanners. Those who take the time to expand the thread have such a richer experience.
- michael sean wright
if i wasn't so tired i'd play that out Chris (as my last post was truly in jest). Late here in East TN. Gonna go tip a few cows and call it a day.

Good point, unless you're actually using the RT chat aspect of FriendFeed, I guess...
- Andy Werner
I actually come back 5 days later to make comments so I can have the last word. Everyone has already forgotten what the conversation is about by then.
- Jeff
Chris- I did, but needed a segue into a cow tipping joke... cause I've never done so before. I do know this, tomorrow I will use the word 'penultimate' and dazzle family and friends. Hope alls quiet on the Cape bro. These storms have been a biotch. Annnnnnd Jeff just trumped us all. Tell him what he's won Enrique... nite all.

Ted, if you haven't dozed off- i'll have you know that the coastal winds tend to keep a lot of the storm systems at bay- if you're close enough to the water - a mile or 5 inland can make a big difference some days - and spot t/storms can be localized around here big time - for instance yesterday it rained (for a short period) at my house while i was at work 5 miles away getting no rain - only knew cuz the ground was wet when i went home for lunch... ok - it's really time for sleep now - g'nite FriendFeed
- Chris Heath
friendfeed should allow for "liking" comments so top comments can be the ones shown, no matter the chronology. And allow the users to watch comments by likes, threaded or chronologically.
- Charbax
A blatant attempt at gaming the FriendFeed statistics for no real useful purpose... Oooh, can I be last, Please Please!!!

- Julian Edward
It would be nice if we could pick the number of comments shown at the top and bottom, I'd like to see the first 3 and last 3 for example.
- Kol Tregaskes
I usually read all the comments of something I'm interested in. I don't just read the top and bottom ones so I don't care where I come in. I comment on what I want to because I want to say something. It's nice if the original poster reads/responds to it, but not absolutely necessary. Most of the time the most fun/interaction comes from other commenters.
- Molly
Being last has one drawback. It makes you a thread-killer. I'm not sure some of us like being that. Sometimes I'd rather see the discussion keep going.
- George Hall (Australia)
Do like the suggestion made earlier that there should be bonus points for being the thread-killer...
- George Hall (Australia)
And there is nothing I hate more than reading that first comment that childishly claims "First!" and nothing more. "Last!" (until the next comment comes along)
- Jim Espinoza
By the way, I'm the last commenter in a very participated thread recently started by Robert Scoble, but that didn't gain me almost any new follower. I'm fine with this though, as I'd find silly being advantaged for being the last commenter ;-)

Not everyone is on here to market themselves to infinity. Why people, other than people who actually make money off of exposure, insist on wanting the most friends on ff/fb/ms/tt is beyond me. Not everyone is a Scobilite! Yes I did just make that word up... where do I copyright it? lol

I am not quite sure about that. But willing to accept it. (Wait! You just called me a worm? The most underrated but valuable animal on the planet, that brings us fertile ground and eats dead stuff? It is a nice compliment, but might be a bit much).
- Ruud van Wijngaarden
No, No! - I didn't mean you worm. Although as you say they are useful beings. I do hope you'lll be in heroic position of last commenter! This is a case of the last shall be second. (Kevin Johnson being first of course). Scoble is penultimate we would hope. I'm aiming for 5th to last!

And since you can't guarantee being last unless you are the originator of the thread or can convince the originator to end comments (but since Robert is AWOL that is unlikely) -- you better be first. ;-)

I dont understand, how can a tracert path be assumed to be 'some one else who is viewing google at the same time'? It is just a path of routers your packets are passing through before reaching their destination. Can someone enlighten me?

Gabe, I know about tracert, i pronounce it as 'trace route' rather than as Tracer-T! BTW, my query is valid right? Tracert can only show the path your packets take via intermediate routers while they try to reach final destination. Right or wrong? How can these 'intermediate' routers be the IPs of other people trying to access the same website?

Sorry, TrafficBug, bug you're looking at it from the wrong point of view. Obviously as somebody who knows what "trace route" means there's no way to interpret the results as anything other than a list of intermediate routers. However this douchebag has only just discovered that if you type "tracert" followed by some web site you get a list of times and computer names along with IP...

Many developers have been hard at work cooking up ideas for Microsoft's ambitious Project Natal ever since the peripheral was announced at last year's E3. But aside from Lionhead Studios' Milo & Kate, we've seen very little of what we can expect when Natal gets released later this year. Now we have some details on an already canceled project by indie studio Arkedo.

On 26 January, my little sister Kristine Polastre passed away. I’m devastated and feel like every moment that passes is harder and harder. I will be practically MIA for awhile until I am able to breathe without feeling any pain. I love you so much Kristine, and I hope to see you [...]

Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

remember the last rev to the iMac 27? it has a lot of TV stuff in it - and then you add in the extra display port. the tablet now becomes the remote screen of that iMac *and* you can control the TV via FrontRow?

Bear, or a secondary screen to stream in another room

Now you are talking a realistic application to me, but to replace a laptop, no. I don't want to have to hold something that large and be mobile.
- Perry Caldwell
I want something that I can put my "consuming" windows on - those items that I view often but don't need to interact with much. like twitter, friendfeed, the live twit stream, IM stream
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Does it have to dominate like the iPhone?
- Johnny
bear, i want the same but the form factor is still a question to me. active picture frame?
- Perry Caldwell
johnny, no, just be profitable, at least
- Chris Heath
Basically. I want a tablet. Even a cheap windows one for my applications. I am excited about what Apple will do
- Johnny
Are we overselling Steve Jobs though? Maybe he just wants to make a kick ass tablet
- Johnny
it's possible Johnny - he is very good at boiling the ocean to get the core feature - and then dressing that up soooo much you just have to have it
- bear (aka Mike Taylor)
Leo, I have a solution for your live streaming. A pocket protector in your front shirt pocket to mount your iPhone in and Qik

That's a show in itself... This Week In Wasting Time
- Johnny
It has a 'special port' for direct brain injection
- Johnny
What if you could dock it and it turns onto a 10 inch OSX computer ala that laptop you saw
- Johnny
that was pretty cool. the thing at CES recently, is that what you are refering to?

A publisher can't afford NOT to be on Audible now

Man, I'd love to listen to this live, but I live in Japan and that fall on my work time. Podcast it will have to be.

Gosh, the FF chat has dropped in numbers, hasn't it?
- Michel
irc chat is really where it's at for TWiT (although if there's ever any info that i would like to tag to an episode - like a link - i would do it here) -- think of these more as show notes than a chat, even though they can be used for discussion (and sometimes are)
