Its lovely and the fact that charts are updated in real time is even better! - Rahul Das
I like it. Much cleaner and clearer. A much needed overhaul. - Todd Brunner via twhirl
Going to do a post on this redesign, good eyes those guys have over the road in LDN :-) - Matt Harwood
Personally I'm not a fan. Prefer the old one. - Mo Kargas
I love the new design. The old one was the main reason why I didn't visit the website frequently. - Oli Kenobi via FriendFeed MT Plugin
I love the new design as well. I think it works great and I will definitely be spending more time there. - Nick Munson
I would say the old design was way better. The song that comes to mind is : Jet - Look what you've done :) There are probably a few good things about it, like I liked the bigger thumbnails of artists in the library section and few other minor changes. But overall, probably the old design was more soothing to the eye. They should atleast get rid of the shocking red color of the header! - Ankit Ahuja via FriendFeed MT Plugin

Adobe flash on iPhone?
yesterday at 3:01 am - via mail2ff - Link
Was browsing the web on my iPhone and received a popup informing me I needed a newer version of flash. A newer version? I didn't think it had flash support at all? - David Adam via mail2ff
I looked at the source code for edge.org. There is some JavaScript that pops up the confirm box if Flash isn't detected. :) - Hao Chen
Ah, so that would probably explain it :) I was a bit bewildered, and didn't click on ok for fear of somehow bricking my iPhone. - David Adam
You got my hopes up there, David! Flash on the iphone would make me love it a lot more (though I already do love it) - Matt Harwood
To be honest I haven't actually found it to be too prohibitive. The only websites I visit that use flash are flash game portals such as kongregate.com. The only other time I find myself missing it is if I want to watch video content online (which is not that often) - David Adam

What kind of help do you need with MySQL? - Kelly Fox
what's happening? - felix
I haven't used SQL in years -- but I'm commenting to get your post bumped up :) - Shey
Post the problem. I'm sure there are tons of MySQL junkies here. ;-) - AJ Batac
Thanks all!! OK heres the deal. I'm getting the 1045 'Access Denied' error on a fresh setup, I've searched for days, I'm really feeling the heat on this one! I just can't log in to mysql at all (using root) - Matt Harwood
Matt, have you tried this? http://forum.uniformserver.com...& - AJ Batac
AJ that looks very promising - I will try it and see - thank you! - Matt Harwood
Hope it works. ;) - AJ Batac
try restarting the mysqld with --skip-grant-tables that will start it with no passwords, you should then be able to get in and reset the password. (alternately, if it was a super fresh install, did you run the script that sets up the initial mysql database? in the mysql directory it's scripts/mysql_install_db) - felix

I have to constantly remind myself to call people by their real name and not the nickname I made up for them in my mind. Especially applies to people at work that I see all the time but rarely interact with. - Tad Donaghe
i'm horrible with names so i usually try to rhyme the person's name with an object or feature from the first meeting. it sticks with me - Cee Bee
When I used to spend all my free time swing dancing, we would make up nicknames for the "celebrity dancers." Green sweater girl, tall hat boy, surgeon girl, rocket scientist girl (Honestly! She lives in Colorado...), etc. Some of them are now my friends and we continue to call each other by these nicknames. - Lisa L. Seifert
I think this is why my best friend's mom called me "Rodney" for a decade or two. Funny yet sad. - Anthony Citrano
I just don't use names... "Hey, how's it going?" - Alan Cheslow
the worst is trying to lead someone in a conversation so they can tell you their name, but it doesn't happen and you end up more frustrated and embarrassed than when you began - Cee Bee
I've been called Richard quite a lot. I'm not so sure it's because I look like a Richard though. I think it's because my last name is Nix and people seem to think Richard Nixon. And the fact that my first name is Robert, similar to Richard, probably doesn't help. Interestingly, I seem to be easily identifiable visually too since people tend to remember me (by looks, not name) if I've been somewhere before. There's nothing really unique about me. I'm not sure why that happens. Then again, maybe it's common. - nicerobot
I get called Heather a lot, even by strangers I talk to on the phone. Frankly, it rather pisses me off. A coworker calls me HR Puffnstuff. Strangely, I tolerate that more. - Helen
so it's not just me that does that? (good to know :-) - karen2
For sure Lindsey (He ducks :) - Charlie Anzman
Had a very drunk night in a London pub where a girl I'd met at a party a week before corrected me when I called her the wrong 'look like' name - and I vigorously (well, dopey drunk vigorously) argued the point ... - Patrick Jordan
Had the opposite experience in high school. A girl thought I looked like a Kenny, and not a Jeff, so for 4 years she called me Kenny. Funny thing no one else ever used that nick name except for her and her best friend. - Jeff P. Henderson
ALL THE TIME. I just figured I'd been dropped on my head as a child. I rarely call my husband by his first name. I think all Jasons are blonde with blue eyes. - Cyndy
Yup! weird phenomenon huh?! I hate that... just means their parents didn't name them correctly - ha, ha! - Susan Beebe
People call me Matt all the time...like at least once a week. I'll introduce myself as Ben very clearly and they say Matt for some reason. Always Matt. Maybe I look like a Matt? - Benjamin Golub via fftogo
Benjamin: take it as a compliment ;-) - Matt Harwood
I am absolutely horrible with names. I've been working here for 12 years. People smile and say hello... maybe even have a small conversation. They walk away and I'll ask my friend "Who was that?". Always cracks her up. - Yolanda

You already have 211, so who are you going to delete? - Louis Gray
Is this like an inverse of begging for followers? How is Scoble going to handle it? - Akiva Moskovitz
In a very warped way, I kinda meant people I was following ;-) Maybe an even more egoistical question, then? - Matt Harwood
Yay for stupidness. I was just reading the "view 199 more>>" under subscriptions on the me page. How embarrassing. You're right, Louis, 211! - Matt Harwood

Only thing that's put a smile on my face today with all this iPhone nonsense is the Godzilla one! Seriously funny... - John Samuelson
"Like Saddam, we're total bad-asses. We have missiles! Godzilla! Our soldiers are all armed with flaming holy scimitars! You will drown in rivers of your own blood! Stay away." - Chris Baskind
Can't stop laughing. =D - David Cook
Godzilla looks like Big Bird's face with a baseball cap. - Trish Robinson
Fricking hilarious! - Geoff Peterson

Good PS,nice fancy. - Chris Qie
omg, this is awesome! 8^D - Chieze Okoye
I like Godzilla. Too Cool - Steve
One thought: So they PS'ed one more missile. Wouldn't 3 hitting your town still be a big deal? - Louis Gray
One would ruin my day, Louis. - Jack Carlson
What next! - Nicholas Kreidberg
The idea that they only have a 75% success rate on something they deem as "an awesome display" is definitely something to be ashamed of. This is the best they can do, and it was barely a passing grade.' - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Louis, whilst I am amoungst those that value your opinion, that hypothetical, improbable does not lick the boots of the reality of shameful journalistic integrity, misrepresenting a nation (of people, remember), and spreading that lie as far as the eye can see. When we turn the emphasis away from the facts of what happened, we make it matter less. - Michael W. May
the neo cons control Godzilla. Watch out it is a Zionist threat - Noah David Simon
Louis: Three hitting your town would be a big deal, but none of these have enough range to reach your town... or any town in Israel, which is the larger concern. None of these are Shahabs http://tinyurl.com/6ch6pg. - Steve Lynch
always remember that close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades and nuclear weapons. - Nathan Eckenrode
Drudge adds some "insight": http://www.drudgereport.com/fl... - Louis Gray

2.0 software reportedly goes live at noon Pacific time to accommodate those people in other parts of the world who live inthe mysterious future. - Kevin Fox via mail2ff
Looking forward to having your iPhone bricked AGAIN? - Mark Novak
Emphatically yes. - Kevin Fox
Amazingly it took less than 3 minutes from posting that last comment to, indeed, bricking my iPhone. IPhone is now in recovery mode. This is inauspicious. - Kevin Fox
When do we get iPod Touch 2.0 firmware?! I'm sitting here in AGONY! - Matt Harwood
You can download it already: http://friendfeed.com/e/754685... - Chris White
Chris - where? MacRumors says that firmware they posted does _not_ work on the touch? - Matt Harwood
Sorry, I wrote my comment right after Kevin's first comment, so I wasn't talking about the touch. - Chris White
No problem, Chris! *Hurts inside* ;-) - Matt Harwood
Matt, anyone, if the touch firmware pops up anywhere post back OK? Cheers. - John Samuelson
Will do, John - Matt Harwood
http://gizmodo.com/5024137/ipo... but I've waited so long I think I will just wait for it to show up in iTunes now. - John Samuelson
