The cool thing about reorgs is that they point out how many technical decisions were really organizational decisions.
Some engineered solutions are scalable across diff business models and decisions. Most are intricately dependent upon them. - Loren Heiny
this reminds me of some sociology of science stuff... how scientists would say "we chose to run experiment X or use technology Y because of hard science fact F" when in fact so many decisions are social and about organizations or rivalries or something entirely more complicated than just THE SCIENCE (or in this case, just THE TECHNOLOGY). - omar

"Douchebags" Lawsuit Dismissed - February 10, 2009
"FEBRUARY 10--A New Jersey judge has dismissed a defamation lawsuit filed by three women whose photos appeared in the book "Hot Chicks with Douchebags." In an amusing February 6 opinion, Superior Court Judge Menelaos Toskos ruled that author Jay Louis's 2008 book was "replete with obvious attempts at satirical humor," and that the inclusion of the women's photographs were "used for humorous social commentary."" - Thomas Hawk from Bookmarklet
seems like you can get away with a lot when satire is involved. ;) - Thomas Hawk
And THANK GOD. The last thing we need are rich, hot chicks with douchebags. - Shawn Farner
I'm surprised that it was the hot chicks rather than the douchebags who were suing for defamation. - Jim Norris
+jim, my thoughts exactly. - Private Sanjeev
@Jim agreed! - David Knight
Wow. That is awesome. That site makes me love the internet everytime I remember to check it out. :) - felix
that's on my to DL list now! - sofarsoShawn
Jim: the douchbags know who they are, and they are proud. they won't ever change. they will just become older douchebags. The hot chicks, on the other hand, already feel the roller coaster is getting very close to the top of the ride, with the rest of their lives centering around how hot they used to be, back in the day. The only job a hot chick has, is to stay hot. If she can do this,... more... - Morgan Haley
Morgan: to me these douchebags appear to fall more on the "hot" side of the male desirability scale than the "rich" side. After all, the guy on the cover is showing off his ridiculously toned abs, not his private jet. - Jim Norris
...yes, but what if they were referring to actual douchebags...it could have been that time of the month, and women have certain needs, ya know? ;-) - .LAG liked that
Jim: you make a good point, these guys are more pretty than rich, most likely. But I would submit that such a small percentage of people own or time-share a private jet, and it's probably ok to assume that those people have their shit together - disqualifying them for douchebag designation (in my book). but I digest...the main point of my tirade earlier was to point out the horribly... more... - Morgan Haley

FriendFeed tip of the day: Go to the 'Best of Day' page, click on the 'feed' icon, grab the URL for your 'best of day' feed, then go to your Gmail prefs, click on 'web clips', get rid of all the default subscriptions and add your 'FriendFeed Best of Day' feed. It is most awesome.

Nice. Why do you get rid of all default subscriptions? - Amani
Because if I don't then I get maybe one 'best of friendfeed' for every 20 'USA Today top stories' items. You don't have to get rid of the defaults. I just wanted to increase the personal relevance. - Kevin Fox

Sean, I guess reading through Google Reader means there is a history that you can look back through vs reading directly on FF which is transient. I usually just read via FF. However, I do have a RSS feed off of AideRSS of an OPML of all of my subscriptions. This lets me catch up on the hottest posts quickly. - Jauder Ho

Let banks fail, says Nobel economist Joseph Stiglitz - Telegraph
"The Government should allow every distressed bank to go bankrupt and set up a fresh banking system under temporary state control rather than cripple the country by propping up a corrupt edifice, according to Joseph Stiglitz, the Nobel Prize-winning economist." - Jim Norris from Bookmarklet

The soundtrack for the original Muppet Movie is great but really hard to find on CD. I don't think it was issued in the US. I had to by my Canadian copy on ebay. (http://www.amazon.com/Muppet-...). I haven't seen it available in digital form either. - Joe Beda ()
Tell me about it! Rachel and I used 'Rainbow Connection' for our first dance and it was very hard to find a clean copy that wasn't a cover or one of the later versions they recorded at a much slower tempo. We eventually found what we were looking for, but on a Muppet compilation album rather than the Muppet Movie soundtrack: http://www.amazon.com/gp... - Kevin Fox
I remember buying this when it came out -- on cassette. - Stephen Mack
I too had the cassette and played it til it wore out. :( @Kevin - thanks for the link to the compilation! I'll definitely have to pick that up since it has four of my favorite Muppet songs (though I wish they'd included Fozzie's America the Beautiful - "Patriotism swells in the heart of the American bear!"). - Karen
Sadly, it's no longer available on YouTube (maybe WMG should have a chat with the Monty Python peeps). But hey, Chris (and Josh), outstanding taste. The Muppets are simply awesome, and their first movie was absolutely a delight! - Adam Lasnik
