The SxSw crowd? You mean...they're an authority on something? - Rah-PM 2012

Back in my band days, the ultimate was to get a gig playing SXSW. So it will always be that way for me. How cool that your parents were both in the biz. Now I see where the musical talent comes from. - Martha

"Only one in four Americans know how many votes a Senate filibuster requires. One in three know the name of the chairman of the Republican Party. One in two know the Democratic leader of the US Senate. Health care? Fewer than one in three Americans even know that no Republicans voted for the Senate health care overhaul. Americans' ignorance about politics isn't new, but the latest results from the Pew Poll suggest few are really paying attention. Half of Americans don't even know that Stephen Colbert is a comedian. And among those surveyed, only one in three Democrats knew that Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) was the Democratic leader." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

the democrats vetoing against the health care plan I get it its buy partisan and interest groups so the diagnoses is democracy is alive. Iconic politics as were used to has to be more party politics but there was action on the right to abort gay babys with guns outside the military so as to relive the statesqou of the fact that change is slow there are advantage to being gay in the military but don,t expect the gay check to go away just yet . - Gratten

I see no option to choose a screenname or shut off location at all. It's an eye-opener seeing random buzz from people around me and I betcha they did not know first hand that it's a very personal broadcast. That's why I cannot recommend buzz to my followers yet. But in the future, I can see a good use for buzz to tell people about a location. - j.ash from iPod

"Caffeine is a system applet that allows the user to temporarily inhibit both the screensaver and the sleep power saving mode, simply by clicking on it. This could be useful for example when watching long flash videos or playing certain full screen games that don't inhibit the screensaver by themselves." - imabonehead from Bookmarklet

Ease of use is subjective - LANjackal

I usually say that Linux is hard to use, then I hate myself. They should do an usability study on people who never touched a computer, so that we will have a more objective answer. - Francesco Balducci

what's that earring? - Puya

Is there a projector in Congress? Like a DVI-cable-for-PowerPoint-style projector? Do they do things like that in Congress? - Bret Taylor

Someone probably told the Congressional aide, "just make sure you don't buy the Monster cable", and he bailed on the projector idea altogether :) - Ana

"As you all know I have been using Linux for a long, long time. I have installed countless distributions: Some of them have seen long-term use, while some of them have been nothing more than a flash in the pan. Ubuntu is one of those that has come and gone for me. I have used it on many occasions, been generally impressed with its offerings, but ultimately gone back to another distribution for one reason or another. I have seen, over the last few Ubuntu releases, a serious decline in performance. Starting somewhere around 7.04, each successive release grew progressively more and more sluggish. From boot times to application start up times, Ubuntu seemed to be coming to a slow painful crawl. With 9.04 Ubuntu has made a complete turnaround." - Alejandro from Bookmarklet

Never used it, I'll give a try. I've been using amarok for long. I did the comment about ubuntu because looks like they have prefer to release at time instead of waiting for something more stable. - jmiguel rodriguez

"The good news is that our redesign is now complete, and we have the architecture we want in place throughout the system — global graphics memory management, kernel mode setting and per-window 3D buffers. This means that the rate of new code additions to the driver has dropped dramatically; almost to zero. Going forward, users should expect this ‘perfect’ combination to work more reliably, faster and better as time goes by." - imabonehead from Bookmarklet

It's mostly the actual command line (the fist posts went to a test account). There wasn't too much back and forth because osx numbers screen shots sequentially, so I knew what was coming next. Here's the code: http://paulbuchheit.blogspot.com/2008... - Paul Buchheit

"A lawyer on the Barclays buyout of Lehman Brothers defunct assets had drawn up an Excel spreadsheet detailing the particular trading contracts that Barclays was prepared to accept as part of the deal. The lawyer took out 179 particularly undesirable contracts, but rather than deleting the cells, marked them as “hidden” cells in Excel. This was all fine until a first year legal associate who was helping to put together the final paperwork converted the spreadsheet to a PDF file and, you guessed it, managed to include all the hidden cells as well as the items Barclays was supposed to be agreeing to buy. The deal has now gone through, and Barclays are frantically trying to reverse this mistake. I imagine that the Lehman’s administrators will be most sympathetic when the case gets to court." - Brian Newman from Bookmarklet

No wonder GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin harbors such hostility toward the mainstream media: her staff imposes limits on her access to it. - Darryl from Bookmarklet
