Jointly Kevin and I have around 20,000... no idea what is a lot, little or average though.

Well... So far it looks like i'm on the low end... Unless the people with less than 4501 start speaking up.
- Ross Miller
Ross, iTunes on my machine has maybe a dozen tunes. That's right, 12. Podcasts on the other hand </sad-but-true>
- Micah Wittman
I guess that depends on how much you spent to get those songs in your library. If you didn't spend a penny, then it's a lot, and you shouldn't even say that publicly. Anyhow, I think that Ton who has 80 000 tracks doesn't listen to music the same way Ross does. If you're picky at what you listen, or if you only listen to carefully prepared playlists, then 80 000 would be too much to...

Ha... well, Zackatoustra, you'll be disappointed to know that I've bought around 800 of the 4,501 from Apple. [Edit: Oops. Should probably read "you'll be happy to know". I misread "If you didn't spend a penny" as "If you spent a penny"]

"Ever wonder what path your Roomba takes as it clears the floor? Well, here's an easy way to find out, and create some fine artwork in the process. The above pictures were made by sticking an LED to the top of a Roomba vacuum, then photographing it using a long exposure setting. This results in a form of motion capture, and you can clearly see where your Roomba has been by where the light trails are. There are a bunch of other photos at the Flickr group. Now, if I was going to do this, I would also put a big light on my cat, so I can show how quickly it makes a b-line for cover when the scary vacuum turns on.

- Kamilah Gill
So you have to do the corners and the edges with a normal vacuum then ?
- Leighton Gough
Leighton: The light is basically centered on the device so there is a bit of suction either side of it, collecting a bit of what is in the corners and edges.
- Andrew Leyden
Yeah, roombas also come equipped a little side sweeper thing that gets the corners and edges for you.
- Ross Miller
Nice surname Andrew, I guess that on that basis two different models of 'Roombas' were used or maybe the light source was positioned differently, because the blue light source image goes right up to the edges. I still think that my girlfriend does a better job.

How is this different from sharing the library the way it used to work? Or is this more useful for when you want to disconnect the network and still have access to all the music?
- Benjamin Golub
Benjamin: exactly. It works like the transfer purchases feature on iPods and iPhones: you don't have to be connected to the home network to play them, because the files are copied to your computer.
- Mark Trapp
Wait, you can finally use the songs you buy on more than one computer without having to jump through hoops? My boss would've loved this feature five years ago. Explaining DRM to him was not fun, he just wanted his $1 songs to be playable on all of his PCs.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Ben, the main advantage is that you can set it to automatically sync the libraries so that a copy of new purchases is on both computers. I'm just using it to copy my whole library to a new computer.
- Ross Miller
So is it possible for me and my wife to share music, on each of our computers, bought on different accounts, before and after we have gotten married?
- Rasmus Lauridsen
Rasmus: I doubt it. This feature, and all the features in the iTunes/iPod/iPhone ecosystem, only allow one active account.
- Mark Trapp
and of files you haven't aquired via itunes?
- alphaxion
But you can activate more than one account in Itunes... I have mine + my wife's two accounts authorized. But yeah it's probably going to be another case of having to still do it manually
- Rasmus Lauridsen
Alphaxion, it just copies them over like any purchases from iTunes. When you open the home sharing center, there's a view to 'only see songs that are not on this computer'. You just select which songs you want to copy and hit import.
- Ross Miller
On a related note, something I've been wondering about recently is the best way to share a library between two Windows user accounts on the same machine. Seems silly to sync them when the files are on the same machine, but I'd like new purchases to appear automatically. Is that possible somehow?
- Tony Ruscoe
from iPhone
Tony, I think you can do that by changing the 'iTunes Media folder location' to be the same destination. Just choose which /Music/iTunes you want to use and set them both to that one. You can change the location from the Advanced tab in Preferences.
- Ross Miller
Thanks. I think I'll have to try that. I did wonder about doing that but wasn't sure whether that would just copy the files to the same folder, leaving the libraries out of sync though.

Also known as why I have not been online all weekend! First column has only had the grout lines cut. Second one has the grout lines cut, the texture routing done and the shape routing on the sides done. Next step for the second panel is to sand the ridges out and then fit it with the upper parts of the arch to make sure I don't need to take any more height off. Then it gets to wait for other pieces to catch up before painting!!

How to I use the bookmarklet with two different friendfeed accounts? It always posts to the last one I log in to...
Mike Chelen, Chirag Chamoli, Tyson Key and Kol Tregaskes liked this
Currently, there is no way to do this within the same browser. However, if you don't mind having two browsers open, you can sign in as separate users.
- Ross Miller
I DO mind! Please fix! Also, how do I know when my comment HERE has been replied to? I searched for my comment to find your reply.
- Tim G.
you can never be logged into two accounts of anything on the internet in the same browser .. as for tracing comments, you can key "gm", or set it up so that you receive email or im notifications ...
- Petr Buben
I agree with that, but perhaps a button or to: field could be set up to allow a different account to be posted to.
- Tim G.
there's an authentication problem here Tim, in order to switch accounts you would have to re-login before posting.... two browsers is what you need, or a script that logs you in to ff quicly and easily... maybe modify the bookmarklet yourself so that it will log you in to one of your accounts before posting, then copy it and make another bookmarklet that logs you into your other...

- Chris Heath
That would be ideal if I could modify the bookmarklet...anyone know how to?
- Tim G.
you'd need to know how to if you wanted to modify it ... no ?
- Petr Buben
True - if anyone knows how, please let me know! Otherwise, maybe this can be a feature request of somesort, have an account check box or equivalent somewhere in the form.

options for firefox include cookie manager addons such as cookiepie http://www.nektra.com/product... and cookieswap https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US... or running multiple browser instances with the -no-remote command line option
- Mike Chelen
Last time I checked, it was still possible to create Profiles in Firefox, and start it with a different one, although it's not exposed in the GUI, and I don't know if that feature's still available.
- Tyson Key
vmlemon: multiple firefox profiles can only run simultaneously with -no-remote (the option for profile manager is -ProfileManager)
- Mike Chelen
from IM
Aah, OK. I knew about the -ProfileManager argument, but not about the requirement of -no-remote. Thanks.
- Tyson Key
Tyson: the possible downside is that multiple profiles still have to be used, with totally separate bookmark, addons, and other user settings
- Mike Chelen
Tim: cookiepie is the most straightforward to use, however it is compatible only with FF 3. some other options for using multiple accounts are with standalone clients such as Twhirl, or through the IM notifications system. these have somewhat different capabilities from the bookmarklet however

Now cookiepie 1.0.4 is compatible with FF 3.5.x, enjoy!

From wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...): Magic Tape is a brand within the Scotch Tape family of adhesive tapes made by 3M, sold in distinctive plaid packaging. Invented and introduced in 1961, it is the original matte finish tape. It appears frosty on the roll, yet is invisible on paper. The tape is made of PET film, not acetate, which would normally reflect light. This...

Can we have support for linebreaks in comments, please? It'd make it so much easier to read and compose long comments, or ones where "special" formatting would be helpful... Thanks.
Mitch, Kurt Starnes, Chris Myles and 26 other people liked this
Yes, I know you can split them into several comments, but that's just awkward and even more time-consuming.
- Tyson Key
I'm not sure I need line breaks (as I use separate comments to achieve this) but some very basic HTML support in the first comment would be most welcome. This would aid us in using FF as a basic blog platform.
- Kol Tregaskes
It might also help with times when BackType stuff gets imported, and the result is so long that nobody in the right mind could scan through it quickly.
- Tyson Key
True. It certainly would be beneficial for imported comments, say from an custom RSS feed. I'd like to see the paragraphs broken up instead of being one long sentence. Good point, Tyson. :-) I still wouldn't like it as native support. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Now that I think about it, it could work as one comment-per-paragraph, but it'd just create confusion if people decide to start injecting other comments in-between each paragraph, as they're imported, or if we ever got the much-requested threaded/nested comments support.
- Tyson Key
Yep, there would be no problem if the import was quick though, so it still might work like that.
- Kol Tregaskes
Still, I get the feeling that it was intended initially for relatively short "local" comments like "Oh! That LOLCat is so cute! I wish I could hug it", rather than for importing long blog comments quoting parts of "War and Peace" or proposals against porting Dalvik to Windows CE-powered toasters. ;)

Just fell for this again - pasting in stuff with linebreaks looks like it's going to work, then does this - http://ff.im/5SqhB
- immaterial
Yeah, that's the biggest problem this issue causes: having to painstakingly edit and split across multiple comments something you should just be able to cut and paste.
- Mark
You have to remember, however, that it *is* convenient now that I can type *and* post without lifting my hands from the keyboard. Just typetypetypetype and press Enter. OTOH, linebreaks *do* make comments easier to read. YOTOH, someone can mis-use linebreaks to type in a comment with, let's say, 100 linebreaks or so... a linebreak vandalism... and that will surely annoy the hell of everybody.

Line breaks wouldn't require you to take your hands off the keyboard. They'd just have to make Shift+Enter insert a line break and Enter to post. As for vandalism, a) it's unlikely, and b) it's trivial to code in protection against that sort of thing.

@Mark: Ah, you do have a point there. If all nitpicky stuff like that gets properly handled, then I'm all for line breaks. Yessir :-)

would love to see line breaks, too...there are codes to check for abusive line breaks (i.e. huge blank spaces in between paragraphs...though it may increase server load a bit)...maybe even RichText or Emoticons?

RichText I don't really like. BBCode-style formatting for [b]bold[/b], [i]italics[/i], and [color=black]color[/color] would be welcome, though.
- Pandu ● IT Optimizer
In a way, BBCode is similar to RichText...it would be nice to have bullets (order/unordered), bold, italics, underline, etc...of course, none of these are required, just make writing/reading/organizing easier
- brainno722 (Peter)

I agree. It needs support for italics, bold, strike-through and underline.

Y'all don't need shift-enter to post; you can just use the tab key to switch focus from the text box to the Post button.
- Andrew C
Agree, brainno/Peter. What I was trying to post was, I don't want RichText controls (like those in Gmail) trying to give a WYSIWYG feel to posting comments. Just BBCode support will be enough to make my day. And Andrew... I blush with embarrasment on realizing that >.<

I disagree on displaying emoticon graphics by default. Sometimes, overzealous implementations interpret character combinations as emoticons, when they're unwanted (e.g. when pasting the output of a CLI application in a comment, or anything containing ":P" without being padded by a space).
- Tyson Key
Line breaks, some HTML, etc. (but no emoticons) should be allowed on the first comment, i.e. like a blog post.
- Kol Tregaskes
yes. please.

I think linebreaks would take something away from FriendFeed. Linebreaks in comments enforce conciseness and "scannability". Like Twitter's 140 chars, but better, because you still can make a coherent argument. I don't have any trouble with this kind of intermediate form between microblogging (twitter) and normal blogging. What we really need is a blogging platform as fast as FriendFeed. :)

You should include PB and Nutella. You need a big glass of milk for that one :)

There was this dumb joke in junior high where you ask someone to give you a number between 1 and 1000. They tell you the number and you just say 'wrong' and walk away. I tried it once and (stupidly) actually thought of a number, 681, before I asked Mickey Levine to give me a number. "681?" she asked. "Wow. You were right!" I replied, shocked. - http://xkcd.com/628/

It's better to be nervous than not have the opportunity to be nervous... Nervous is a good sign. Plus, you'll do great!
