"To simulate owning a sailboat in the Bay Area, stand in a shower, set it to maximum cold and turn it on full blast, and then start stuffing $100 bills down the drain." -- Piaw Na, https://friendfeed.com/bindu...
Why would you do that? The money will clog the drain. You have to shred the $100 bills to make it work. - Gabe
A friend told me boat is an acronym for Break Out Another Thousand. - Todd Hoff
yes!!! - amelia arapoff
Clogging the drain is an important part of the experience. The costs it takes to unclog it and the mess it makes is very much like what happens when the head clogs up when one of your friends forgets and starts tossing toilet paper down the toilet. (Yes, marine heads are *not* designed to have toilet paper stuffed down them) - Piaw Na
Good point, Piaw. The only problem is that you'll never be able to burn through money as fast as a real boat if you have to keep unclogging the drain. - Gabe
Unless you retire, live on it and get a crew to pay you. Do you have to pay property taxes on a sailboat? - Peng-Toh

Do NOT try this at home.
“Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after two days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But two things made me take it down. First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by. Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn’t realize that it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of the many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn’t take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard.” - April Buchheit from Bookmarklet
Awesome. - Stephen Mack from iPhone
What is needed is something additional to make people think it's being handled. That way there wont be a perceived urgency to help. Just the morbid NASCAResque "crash..crash" anticipation. Maybe two 'friends' below pointing?? Though it is very good...as is. - Roger Nang
The dummy could be suspended with fishing line or other hard to see cable, and a motion sensor could trigger the dummy's fall when people approach. A recorded scream would add to the effect. - SuezanneC Baskerville
Genius! - Bertrand Doux
Not a bad idea. - ashish
Matthew DeVries
It just hit me, we "won" WWI and WWII right? How come we have fuck all to show for it? Our borders haven't changed in 200 years. We won 2 big wars, we should have gotten.....SOMETHING out of it. I think that's why we started chasing our tails and getting whooped in Vietnam, Korea, Afganistan, Grenada, and Iraq. We some how forgot the point...
...of a war. To gain land and treasure and expand the empire. We couldn't win those other wars because we weren't playing to win. - Matthew DeVries
The bigger question: Was WWI renamed after WWII? - Mona Nomura from iPhone
Mona, yep. World War I used to be called the Great War. - Akiva Moskovitz
Good to know. Thanks, Akiva! And Matthew -- there will always be fight for power. - Mona Nomura from iPhone
We got long periods of peace and prosperity. We don't need any more land. - LogEx
So becoming a super power is nothing? Good to know... - Johnny Worthington
It just seems to me, if we're not willing to plant a flag and start passing out the Levi's and Nike's - we shouldn't start killing their leaders. - Matthew DeVries
We actually did get things. We have bases in both Germany and Japan. Now in the middle east as well. Don't need to actually take over the countries or "Fund" them, just have the ability to attack anyone anywhere when we choose, so everyone else has to play nice with us. - CW™
Multinational corporations don't need wars to pass out the Levis and Nikes - Alex Scoble
We don't have Levi's and Nike's. Those are from Mexico and China. - Eric @ CSTechcast.com
200 years? 1899 Tripartite Convention - Johnny Worthington
Convention Schmention.. we don't need no stinking agreements... - CW™
Let's not forget Alaska and Hawai'i, and the territories of Palmyra Atoll, Puerto Rico etc. - LogEx
You also don't need typhoons when you are blowing up the Germans either - Johnny Worthington
And when I say "We" I mean the whole allied bloc - The US, UK, France, Canada (No one ever realizes that only the Canadians completed every single D-Day objective given to them), Australia, etc. Well I guess France and Poland got something, in that they got their countries back. But the UK somehow in the aftermath lost EVERYTHING, lands that no bad guy during the course of the war ever even looked at. How the hell did that happen? - Matthew DeVries
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... apparently we had plans to invade Canada... - Mike Nencetti
You know what we have to show for winning WWII? Jews, homosexuals, and gypsies still left alive. That's what we got. Not good enough for you? Tough shit. - Akiva Moskovitz
Wow , this is what I am missing for not being subscribed to this quality feed, damn. - Joe
We also attained several very smart German and Jewish scientists that helped build several items for us. Some would say information is more valuable then land. Cause then you have to defend the land. - CW™
Hey, Hitler hated the Catholics as much as the homosexuals and more than the gypsies, not as much as the Jews. - Matthew DeVries
Matthew, doesn't change my point at all. - Akiva Moskovitz
We saved a bunch of people who asked us to help in WWl and ll. Never saw the point in any of the other "police actions." - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
World War I and II were not 'police actions'. - Akiva Moskovitz
I still think it set a precedent, that it was ok to go to war without bringing your flag with you, so if you're not liberating an ally and you're not there there to take the place, why are you there? - Matthew DeVries
to protect your interests - CW™
Wait, what set that precedent? - Alex Scoble
It's incredibly narrow-minded to believe that all war is about expansion. - Akiva Moskovitz
I think m9m is referring to more recent events than WWII. I'll add in the "wars" on terror, drugs, etc. - LogEx
Until those wars, it was. - Matthew DeVries
Civil war wasn't about expansion. - Alex Scoble
I didn't say World WARs l and ll were police actions.Korea was, and so I consider the ones that followed. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
m9m, your phrasing 'any of the OTHER "police actions"' implied that you considered the World Wars to be grouped with the 'police actions'. My misunderstanding. - Akiva Moskovitz
I wonder if Vietnam would have gone better if instead of spinning and selling the war, Johnson had just said "We are doing this only because we are trying to impede the expansion of Russia and China" - Matthew DeVries
How can you consider Korea to be a police action? We were defending a country from an invading force. - Alex Scoble
Because that is what the legislation that paid for it called it Alex. - Matthew DeVries
ROFL...If you say so. - Alex Scoble
Bookmarked - Bren, Not Grinchy from iPhone
We were in Korea because it was in our best interests to work with the newly founded UN. Also we got the ability to have military in the area. Same for Vietnam. - CW™
Anyhow wars haven't always been about expansion. The colonial powers routinely had wars against pirates for instance. - Alex Scoble
One mans Pirates were others traders or militia - CW™
Yeah, right...When you forcibly take over ships flying a different flag without provocation, you're a pirate. - Alex Scoble
But if you look at the Allies as a whole, USA, Canada, Australian borders didn't change. UK and France were made to give up their entire holdings outside of Europe (sans the Falklands). How is that a win? Germany meanwhile, who "lost" got to keep Prussia? - Matthew DeVries
What if your paid by another country to do so, but are a privately owned. Then you are a Privateer. - CW™
A rose by any other name is still a rose. - Alex Scoble
We got Iwo Jima, but we gave it back. - Rob Haas
Hegemony doesn't need explicit colonization these days. - Andrew C from Android
I know what we got... 60+ years of self-sustaining military-industrial complex, and the commercialization of killing, *cough* Blackwater *cough* - LogEx
I can tell you what my grandparents would say you got: gratitude for saving the world from Hitler. Also, I dare you to tell a WWII vet that he fought for nothing. Better yet, tell a European Jew that the US and the allies were fighting for "nothing" in WWII. Let me know how those conversations go. - Eoghan Sullivan from iPhone
What the U.S. got out of the two world wars was world hegemony. No, the U.S. didn't gain any territory, but the combined wars destroyed the British, French, Japanese, and nascent German empires. That left the US and USSR as the last remaining world powers, and the USSR was severely weakened from World War II. Subsequent wars in East Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America are simply... more... - John (a.k.a. dendroica)
Umm...I'd like to request you remove the UK from this 'WE didn't get anything' discussion because I think quite a lot of people would disagree there, and find it insulting - like I do (especially now, given the last British veteran of both those wars died this year). Just because 'we' didn't get anything tangiable doesn't mean 'we' didn't get anything at all. WWII wasn't about gaining... more... - Amy
I didn't mean to offend Amy, only that I think there'd be more stability and peace today, had the UK been allowed to keep it's holdings, especially in the Middle East. - Matthew DeVries
From what I've gathered from my college history class on foreign relations, the UK was not forced to give up its territories, at least not in Asia. The locals were simply tired of being part of an empire. And the Middle East was carved up during and after WWI by Woodrow Wilson and the British and French PM's of the time. Interestingly, Ho Chi Minh was in Paris in 1919, trying to get the... more... - Kevin L
But I agree that America's wars have often been about expansion, though in this century it's been about expanding influence without all the hassle of allowing the conquered people a voice in our government. - Kevin L
The only purpose for war is death. - Fleagle
Political influence is the new land and treasure. - Shey, Jamaican of FF

A while ago in my AP Chemistry class, this one annoying kid and my friend were having a weird argument about who was better... - http://mylifeisaverage.com/story...
Screen shot 2009-11-10 at 3.43.41 PM.png
"...The annoying kid said, "Well, at least I have a girlfriend!" to which I responded, "Whatever. Your girlfriend has 67 protons." In response, the entire class, including the teacher, turned their heads to look at the periodic table on the wall. The element with 67 protons is holmium, with the chemical symbol "Ho." My teacher was the first to laugh. MLIA" - LogEx
That kid needs to come to my college. - Kevin L

openff.org webdesign concept... (1280 px wide so click through to view fullsize ) / post additional features you think are needed for the home page here!
openff-webdesign-showcase.jpg
1. a 2 min intro video so people can watch it and know what the hell we are about - vijay
2. Participation panel with 3 actions: join the team / donate / spread the word - vijay
3. Latest News panel: I would suggest this to be the friendfeed embed widget for the "openff" group. - vijay
4. Top Dev panel: Shows most active contributors according to pointers along with their latest twitter updates. The one thing our project can offer is lots of attention for our devs so promoting active devs on a leaderboard is a good way to keep the activity up and running. ( Right now, I'm calling it "dev" board for lack of a nicer shortner name but the final leaderboard will include ALL contributors including non-devs. ) - vijay
5. Scroll Alert: At the right bottom is a small msg that shows up when the viewer still has some scrolling to do on the page warning them that there is MORE content on the page that is available for them to view. - vijay
I haven't added scrollbars to the mockup. But there will be content below the fold as always. - vijay
i think the video should be embedded within the page.. but i guess thats the case when the page goes live. - Gtp19
yep, video will be a pop up overlay as usual. The page behaves the usual way sites these days display content, nothing extraordinary. - vijay
Very classy. I wonder how it'd map to a "physical" website, though. - Tyson Key
Really like the look and how well it sticks with your logo design and color scheme. Couple of things: 1) We aren't taking monetary donations, since there's no legal entity behind OpenFF at the moment (but we probably need to consider it at some point). 2) I'm assuming the theme will scale well at different screen resolutions. If the plan is to have a static width, then it should be 1024 instead of 1280. Ideally, it should have a fluid width. 3) Did I mention I love the look? :-) - Jason Huebel
I'l retract #2, since it just dawned on me that it's already formatted that way. :-D - Jason Huebel
This is fixed width layout; viewable from 1024 upwards Jason. - vijay
Sorry, I didn't get enough sleep last night. :-/ - Jason Huebel
it's no big deal Jason lol! :D - vijay
ask me and I answer if I know it. As simple as that. :D - vijay
I like it very much - Kristian Salonen
Very nice! I can help htmlize it if you want, let me know! - Jeremy
definitely Jeremy! I'm not a programmer so that is a big help for all of us. Thanks! :D - vijay
Well when you have something complete just DM me the link to the PSD and I will do my best! - Jeremy
sure Jeremy, will do :D - vijay
looks good vijay - AJ Batac
thanks AJB : ) - vijay
i like the design very much. clean interface, nice colors, easy on the eyes. very good! - Nik
It's a sexier Facebook. - Vezquex: God of FF
I think one reason for the relatively low numbers of friendfeed users was that people were uncertain as to how to use it and what value it provided over other web sites. In addition to the intro video, something like the "What can you use it for?" text on the current FF home page is needed but better written and making a more compelling case for signing up. - Rajit
This will end quickly Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. - Dan Morrill AKA Techwag
@Dan, check the group desc. We've only got the wiki going, with a direct link to it. - Jason Huebel
What will be the licence of server software ? GPL 3 ? - Thierry Lhôte
sigh. there's gonna be a license flame war. I'll simply say: -1 to GPL - Capn' One Eye - adrift
So what License ? Apache ? BSD ? - Thierry Lhôte
for better readability bodytext has to be black (or grey) (just saying...) - minus-one
body text 'is' gray right now minus-one; nearly the same color as this comment is on friendfeed. Why, does it need still more contrast? - vijay from iPhone
it's slightly on a green side here (111,120,108) maybe it's not sRGB... - minus-one
ah! ok. no probs, I'll fix that up. thanks :D - vijay
Vij, a sidebar with best of the day entries livestream would be cool... - अभिषेक(Abhishek) Das
that's a good thing to have Abi. Let's add it when we begin the coding. - vijay
Haven't seen this before. Maybe we'll never need Openff, but if we do, this is gorgeous! Re: sidebar - like the idea functionally, worried another element will crap this up visually. It's so clean the way it is now! - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
yeah openff seems dead from where I see it. Though it really was buzzing like a beehive when I started working on this. - vijay
Indeed. Really nice design. - Micah Wittman

I can't recommend Zombieland highly enough. It just made me so happy.
I think watching Zombieland on Blu-ray and then immediately starting up a team game of Left 4 Dead 2 once both are released will be a perfect evening. - Kevin Fox
Zombieland was enjoyable, but there were some parts that could have been cut out. - Shevonne
Zombieland= The greatest win of the year. Awesome movie - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
They filmed part of it right around the corner from my house: http://friendfeed.com/jgw... - Joel Webber
No, the proper order would be: Ghostbusters, Shaun of the Dead, *then* Zombieland and Left 4 Dead 2. (edited!) - Neal Krummell

Self-stabilizing gyrowheel makes training wheels obsolete - http://dvice.com/archive...
Self-stabilizing gyrowheel makes training wheels obsolete
The gyrowheel would make it so that anyone learning to ride a bike — or just keep any ol' bike upright — wouldn't need training wheels to keep from falling over. The gyrowheel replaces the front wheel and contains a battery-powered, spinning disk inside of it, which in turn generates a gyroscopic precessional force and helps stabilize the bike. It should keep a bike upright in the face of wobbles, and the folks at Gyrobike claim that it teaches better riding practices, besides. A 12" version of the gyrowheel is due out in December, with a 16" version landing next spring. Check out a video on how the gyrowheel works after the jump. - Thomas Bøhm

The Original Obama Joker Image on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
"After a brief hiatus due to a fraudulent DMCA takedown notification, my original Obama Joker picture is back up. Quick history of the image: I made this image using Adobe Photoshop CS3 back in January of 2009 and uploaded it to my photostream. Sometime between then and August 2009, someone copied it off here and added the caption "Socialism". The image since then went viral, showing up on streets in LA and T shirts. When the picture and the story behind it became popular in August, someone filed a fraudulent DMCA takedown notice with Flickr, which caused them to automatically take down the image without investigating the claim. I had to file a counter notification and they told me I can reupload it on September 22nd. The fraudulent takedown notice caused much controversy with Flickr. The hoopla surrounding the image and its removal caused Flickr to actually CHANGE their takedown policy! Here's a few news links about the image and its controversy:" - Thomas Hawk from Bookmarklet
