I just read the word "Tweeple" referring to people who Tweet. Is that gonna go mainstream? Please say no. :(
that's just lame enough that most people will like it - Kirk
I like it better than "tweeps" (though I admit to having used that on occasion). Neither is great though. - ÉllbeeÇee
Too much like "sheeple"... don't like. - Ken Gidley
No... (you're welcome)... Its gonna be Twits. - Adrian Bashford
Have you heard of Tweeple Twak? - Mattie Kenny
It's been around for a while. Unfortunately. - ♥patricia♥
Pretty sure that's been the entrenched accepted term for a good 9 months now. - Matthew DeVries
Adrian: That was already taken by @Leolaporte for the cast of his show, like 5 years ago. - Matthew DeVries
Ok Felicia, you need to explain yourself, I just tweeted an @you and withing seconds I lost 3 followers. Are you like twitter herpes or something? - Matthew DeVries

The One Thing Programmers and Musicians Have In Common - http://www.codinghorror.com/blog...
So true. Look at Hofstadter's Godel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid. - Josef Finsel from twhirl
I like playing and composing music, and sometimes I'm coding. But I am not a professional musician nor professional programmer, may be that's why I don't like solving puzzles. - Anton
Music came first, programming is my job and playing music is my hobby. But I know plenty of programmers without a shred of musical talent and many musicians with minimal computer skills. - Mark Philpot
I'm more of the opinion that it's with poets we are closer, stressing over every single word and how much one little thing can change the whole program, and interpretation is so vital to us - Justin Yost

I really like companies that give you your birthday off. A classy, nice touch.
I'm my own boss, and I've never done this --even for myself :( Thanks for the idea! - directeur
The amount of time saved by not having 10-20 people standing around at your birthday party at work probably makes it worth it :) - Sam Pullara
The only company that ever gave me my birthday off (with pay) went out of business. - April Russo (app103)
Oh, and statistically speaking, you don't want to give IT people their birthday off. You might run into huge problems in February, with being seriously under-staffed. - April Russo (app103)

John Resig - JavaScript Performance Rundown - http://ejohn.org/blog...
John Resig - JavaScript Performance Rundown
John Resig - JavaScript Performance Rundown
Interestig to see how adding DOM operations evens out John's benchmarks (first has DOM ops and Safari beats Chrome, second is Google's apparently slightly biased benchmark, which relies heavily on recursion). - Bret Taylor from Bookmarklet
Just Firefox - Saman
It is time to optimize for DOM. Faster JavaScript is fantastic..... great for games and crypto.... but what about the real world? NOTE: Ray Cromwell's Chronoscope benchmark http://timepedia.blogspot.com/2008... - Dion Almaer
和我昨天的判断一样 - foxmachia {山石} from fftogo
yeah i made the point on DOM to the V8 team http://tinyurl.com/65clg2 - never got back to me on that one say maybe some truth to it :) - Steven Livingstone-Pérez from twhirl
These tests are very insightful. I was initially very excited about Chrome being 10 times faster on javascript. As usual with any such claims (not just from Google), they are skewed. However, I do think that Chrome entering the market will cause all browsers to get better more rapidly. Competition does drive innovation. - Robert Felty
Thanks for sharing this detailed knowledge. Very useful. - Edwin Khodabakchian
we're working on DOM work now. believe that the tracing technique has applications; working on getting the DOM acting faster soon. - John Lilly
granted all beta-quality of Chrome and zero-day securiity bug, i think their current *speed* shows only lack of exception handling. Once it matures, it will be same or evenn worse than FF - it is tough to beat long-standing code without rounding corners on usual code glue... - A.T.
Loic Le Meur
It is 10PM in San Fran and I generally work in front of my Mac at this time... with a beer or glass of wine. Been almost a week no alcohool.
As I age (mature?) I am finding that even a glass or two of booze reduces my effectiveness the next day significantly. Not hungover exactly - just dumber somehow. - mattpovey
@Mattpovey, I second that observation. I definitely can't pound them anymore like i did when i was 21. I think at some point in our 40's (at least in my case) we hit the inflection point on loss of brain cells vs those required to function the next day... - Jeff P. Henderson
yeah we're all getting old, what can we do ! - Loic Le Meur
Ah it feels good to be 24... ;o) - Daniel
One thing that I would say regarding alcohol is that cutting it out completely is unnecessarily puritan. I just cut out the 'mindless' food and drink that I consumed during the week. - mattpovey
Sweet Jeebus, man -- you're French! Fix that. Balance, balance! - Chris Baskind
It feels good to be 17 :P - Yuvi
The English way is best - stay sober all week and then down a bottle of vodka before you even leave the house on Saturday night. - Ben Austwick
Loic, won't they revoke your French citizenship for that? - Cyndy
@Ben - so so right. - mattpovey

Sarah Palin's Pregnancy Decision Map
palin.jpg
even if we accept the daughter was hers, her actions are beyond bizarre - Duncan Riley
Where's the documentation? - Jim McCusker
Here's an article from an Anchorage paper: http://www.newsminer.com/news... keep in mind that no one knew she was pregnant until March, when she announced she was 7 months pregnant. - Admiral Anika
Jim, what documentation? her timing in terms of travel, pregnancy etc are all public record. - Duncan Riley
there's no documentation, but there's allegation: http://bit.ly/1mC5DB - judge for yourself but remember not to jump to conclusions. - ~C4Chaos
Wowzers. Beyond belief. - Tsega Dinka
Brilliant! - Sean Kelly
May not be relevant as SHE may not have been pregnant. There is significant circumstantial evidence that the baby may in fact belong to her 16yo daughter. See here for an interesting take on this http://www.dailykos.com/storyon... - Jeff P. Henderson
Ugh. Again, all based on anecdotal evidence and photographs. How would you feel if this was Michelle Obama we were talking about? Get a grip. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Mark, looking at the evidence you've got to say that it's at least highly strange. Seriously, look at the pics of her at 7mths - Duncan Riley
Anecdotal evidence or not, it is still highly strange if you look at the pics. - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
in all fairness the photo which includes the daughter where she seems pregant was supposedely taken in 2006 according to digitaljournal. Don't know that anything is official. If the campaign would simply deal with this, then ppl might focus on the real issue of the abuse of power charge. - R. Ferguson
actually McCain already has been dealing dirt to Michelle Obama. The real story here is, McCain's surprise VP choice was made without doing a background check. So much for his "experience"... more like an example of senility! - Indio Apache from twhirl
Nothing stated on this thread is a provable fact, including Steve's little potshot at the end. Photos of other highly strange things? Bigfoot in a freezer, the chronology of Britney Spears' supposedly fake to real to fake to real boobs, and the loch ness monster. All this does is devolve the whole political process to the tabloids. If that's the type of politics you want, you're welcome to them. I thought the goal was informed and factual debate, though. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Mark- That's the point - we're trying to be informed. Not misinformed. - Steve Isaacs
I find it immensely ironic to hear republicans cry about provable facts, and about dirty campaigns! Bush and Reagan have yet to admit to one provable fact in 16 years of governance. mccain's mudslinging campaign is hardly an example of informed and factual debate. here's a provable fact: no fortune 500 companies go out an hire 72 year old CEOs, and try to sell them to their shareholders... more... - Indio Apache from twhirl
FYI. there are photos of Palin while pregnant. the photo time stamps are questionable but easy to explain, as i've noted on this thread - http://bit.ly/1mC5DB - i have no interest in spreading ugly rumors but i'm interested at getting to the truth. for your convenience, here's the link to the Flickr thread - http://bit.ly/2VxB9F - ~C4Chaos
I find it immensely asinine you assume that I'm a republican, Steve. I'm sick of it from both sides - I'm not a fan of the Obama is a Muslim conspiracy theories either, but I put up with that crap too. This is on that level. -400 to Steve and -30 to Lindsey for applauding him, since we're playing on this "Who's Line.." scoring system. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
no need to talk partisan politics. stick to the issue (rumor) at hand. here's another interesting take - http://bit.ly/3n1QTo - "There is quite the way-beyond-a-buzz happening on the internet over allegations that Trig Palin is not Todd and Sarah's child, but belongs to Bristol Palin and an unknown father. That's not how I've been hearing it for the last few months at all. As a matter-of-fact, I've been hearing that Trig is very much Todd and Sarah's child while Bristol Palin is actually pregnant NOW." - ~C4Chaos
if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck its a duck. for example the ad-hominem attacks, instead of dealing with the issues I raised, this is right out of the republican playbook. - Indio Apache from twhirl
@Lindsey. You didn't specify. Your meaningless point assignment remains the same because, well, it's meaningless. As for you Steve, I think you need to go check a dictionary on ad hominem. I don't care about your issues, and I don't care who started it. *If* I were a republican, do I control the "Republican playbook" as you put it? Can I control other republicans? No. My original statement stands - this is all stupid and sleazy muckraking, not informed or intelligent debate. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Here's something in response to your comment (and in response to Lindsey's applause): Reagan is dead, you dopes. He can't admit to anything. That's a provable fact. I'm taking another few hundred imaginary points away for that one. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Good grief, it seems obvious at this point. If those photographs were taken at the time it's said they were taken, then Palin lied, and the baby is her daughter's, not hers. That may be understandable from a human standpoint... no, forget that line of reasoning. The tabloid nature of this story is ENTIRELY Palin's fault, and the cultural/political culture of Alaska. She lied. She covered up. AND obviously McCain did not vet her. Who would want this mess on their ticket? Only a very reckless man. - Rick Powell
OK now that Palin has said her daughter is currently 5 months pregant, I think we can consider this rumor closed. - R. Ferguson
here's the link to the FF thread that put's a lid on this ugly rumor - http://bit.ly/4mEks0 - ~C4Chaos

I've now found a reason to want to be more wealthy: business class. 9 hours sleep in a near flat bed on a 14-15 hour flight. It was a points upgrade this time, but I'd love to be able to afford it outright in the future
Have you checked out those really cool, expensive cars? They live up to their billing. - Andrew
Andrew, I've only just got back so I haven't grabbed the video yet, but I did a Beverly Hill celeb tour on Monday and we went past this house with 9 Ferrari's and RRs, all brand new (they were being washed). Nope, I'd just be happy with one Aston Martin :-) - Duncan Riley
OMG I flew first class to Argentina and couldn't even bear to LOOK in coach! The last time I priced tickets to Buenos Aires, the $ difference between first and coach was about a grand. Sounds like a lot, but I'd be willing to pay it in order to not have a crick in my back the whole vacation. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I won't fly to Asia without it. - Brad Nickel
Too bad they don't have the upstairs lounges in 747's anymore ... That was cool ... now they're filled with seats - Charlie Anzman
@stupdblogger I only wish that was the difference on the AUS-US trips, it's closer to $2-3k extra off a base which is already $2-3k. - Duncan Riley
I recently flew on the all business class Singapore Air flight from Singapore->Newark. 18 hours direct. I can't imagine doing a flight like that in coach. It was well worth the 160,000 miles it cost me ;-) http://www.flickr.com/photos... - Tom Wentworth
Growing up overseas I got to do this a few times through my Dad's miles. I don't think I appreciated it as much back then as I would now. - Jesse Stay
Flew Upper Class across the Atlantic a few times recently for work. I'll never be able to afford it on my salaray though, which makes me feel really guilty - my poor wife - Michael Moran
I fly business all the time to Asia, and with points fly Upper Class on Virgin(bed, masseuse, in-flight bar) to UK. Today it's Singapore Business home, will be a nice relaxing flight. It's one reason in particular to have American Express, just transfer points.[I've flown Continental EWR-HKG and back 2X and won't put up w/ that again] - clarke thomas
I can't afford to pay for the upgrade either. I asked and it costs $8,000. Yowza. Of course if you COULD afford that you'd be looking longingly at the next level of luxury: owning your own plane. Bad thing about humans. We are never happy with what we have. Hell, those of us in coach have it better than ANY rich person 50 years ago. Think about that one! - Robert Scoble
Take me with you! - tj hanton
For $8,000 a ticket, it almost sounds like that the luxury level ladder goes coach->owning a plane->first class upgrade. Obviously not the same thing, but once you get past $15-20k, you're looking at the price of a used Cessna or Piper Cherokee. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
You might be able to pick one up cheap but don't forget about the running costs the fuel for example and where are you going to park it?! - Arthur Guy
I know, which is why it's not a one-to-one comparison, but at those shockingly high prices for tickets, you hafta wonder when it'll be cheaper to own than rent a seat. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
Agreed Greg. Prices go up, but rarely come down. Even when market conditions change, as is the case in Aus. Fuel goes up, so we pay more for food. But when it goes down, we're still paying that 'inflated' price. - Mo Kargas
I hear ya on that! It's the only way to actually enjoy traveling. Otherwise you just feel like cattle in coach crammed between someone with a questionable odor and somone else that keeps invading your already limited space. - Shannon
