I worked on Win NT, debugging OLE. It was pretty bad because the NT OLE code was fine; all the bugs were in 16-bit OLE apps. There are few things worse than debugging interactions between two 16-bit apps you don't have the source to!

Wow, 16 bit OLE. Why didn't you force everyone to use 32bit Word and Excel? It would've been very Apple of you.

Yup, Redmond. I think I worked in building 4, which may not exist anymore, and lived across the street at "Timberlawn". I worked on the installer for "Plus Pack for Windows 95".

Confession, I have never ingested Indian food. If I don't care for Mexican spices will this affect my like for Indian fare?
- Janet:#TeamMonique
Janet, do you mean the flavor of the spices, or the heat? My limited experience with Indian food is that there is a a range of heat, and most places are willing to accommodate someone who might not like their food as hot as others. Aside from the heat, though, there's a wide range of flavors and textures that aren't common in typical western food. It's definitely worth trying at least once!

Either that, or put them in a 'naughty' list and move them off your home feed. Whatever works to maintain your feed to what you want to see

on NSFW in FF + blocking: 'm on board - kinda been doin' that myself anyway.
- MikeAmundsen
Sorry but can you please define what you consider NSFW?
- Niki Costantini
Niki, stuff that would get you fired for cause. Nekked stuff it seems is the thing that is brought up the most..
- Eric - seven eleven
Why didn't I tweet that. My thoughts exactly. Create a room for those post.
- Valley
Well, I ask because it might change not only according for different kinds of people, but also for different kinds of jobs, countries, culture and so on.
- Niki Costantini
True, I think we are not talking about nuance though. I would be fine with all of it if I didn't have the addictive need to look at FF at work.
- Eric - seven eleven
I like this, but I've had this argument too many times to contribute much besides that the responsibility to keep NSFW stuff out of your feed is, unfortunately, completely yours. People aren't going to change what they post to suit you, so Morton, you've got the right idea. As for putting people in lists, you have to subscribe to them first... I don't want to do that for some people so just hiding is the best option.
- Lindsay
well we can't control what a person dumps to the feed. so I utilize the hide features of FF like a mother...
- Valley
Hiding is the best way. Lists and unsubscribing don't always keep stuff out because of FOAF. As for NSFW, I meant pictures of nudes mostly.
- Morton Fox
though i would personally like to see better control over the posts, it might be overkill. depending on the nature, some things could be flagged as inappropriate. again, it could be overkill.

Is NSFW universal though ? Or is it just code for nude ? My boss sent me an email with 3 nude models in it today ... not that I´m comfortable with that while trying to work inbetween all the FF-ing:)
- ɯɥøq sɐɯoɥʇ
NSFW could be anything but there are some generally accepted standards. Please save those naked pictures for the appropriate rooms.
- Morton Fox
I'm not sure if it's US law somewhere, but shouldn't mature sites ask a person's age. I don't remember FF ever asking my age (31 btw); therefore, i don't expect anything mature. I've seen underage users on FF however.
- Valley
Lindsey: That's the reason for the hide. It's to lower the risk by removing some posters of naked pictures. That's really all I can do since I can't tell anyone else what not to post. If I viewed 4chan and they have a hide feature, I'd use it there too.
- Morton Fox
Lindsey: There has not been a mass hiding. So far, I've only hidden two people who have been habitual offenders. It was quick, easy, and dare I say it, practical.
- Morton Fox
Yeah, but look at my twitter stream. Almost anything is enough to prompt a tweet. :)

@Chris: check the *actual* name of the list. For example, my list "Social Media Favs" (with spaces) is actually "social-media-favs" when I look at its URL. So I type in list:social-media-favs to make it show up in FriendDeck. Yes, should be easier, but it definitely works.

The app also serves as a good guide to see who is creating the most retweeted messages, making it easier to find out which Twitter users are actually worth following. Currently, Mayhemstudios is the user who got retweeted the most (67 times) in the last 24 hours, while TechCrunch got retweeted 26 times.
