I want more people to watch this. I still need explanation from Mona...
- Tad, Anti-Immanentizer
There's nothing "wrong" except that perhaps it is too AWESOME.
- Robert Haas
No, the problem is that we are not courageous enough to release such a movie in America. I mean, imagine how much more awesome Ultraviolet would have been if made by a director with an upskirt fetish....

Another thought about Palin: Could she have been shouldered aside by powerful interests in the GOP who want to see their party reformed? (i.e. run out all the crazies?)

I wish. They've done too much public apologizing to Rush to make that seem like credible idea.

Worst political decision of the earliest 21st century: Bringing Sarah Palin onto the national stage?
Scott of Two Countries, Ben Hanten and CW™ liked this
I would say the invasion of Iraq, but that was a successful decision in that it was actually executed. Yeah, it was screwed up, but Palin was a total political disgrace and failure.
- Tad, Anti-Immanentizer
Attempting to privatize Social Security? Passing a federal law to keep Schiavo on life support?
- John
Both of those were stupid and SS might have trumped it if it had actually gone through before the bust. I think bringing SP into the public light brought out the absolute worst tendencies of the Right Wing in this country and showed just how weak the GOP is.

Not yet.Because they cost too much and I don't see enough of a difference to upgrade yet.
- Brian S.
Switched, no. Enjoying, definitely. I have too many DVDs to give up on the legacy format.
- jcunwired
I haven't because I despise physical media. Their time is quickly coming to an end.
- Tad, Anti-Immanentizer
via fftogo
I haven't bought any, but I have Bluray players. I use Netflix to get Bluray content.
- Jason Huebel
Yes-ish... I've been buying less movies as I'm mid-move and my player has been at a friends house. Once the transition is complete, I'll start getting stuff exclusively on Blu-ray when I can.
- Jennifer Dittrich
You don't see the difference, you hear it. That's the biggest difference.
- Alex Scoble
And the demise of physical media isn't quite here. As long as broadband internet is not ubiquitous, neither will digital delivery of content.
- Alex Scoble
No. I haven't bought a commercial DVD in the best part of ten years. I watch few movies, and the TV programs I watch I usually download (legally) (some of which is HD in any case).
- Ian May
Switched is such a strong word. Do I have blu-ray dvd's yes. Do exclusively own Blu-Ray DVD's no. If anything I have switched to digital.
- Geoff Schultz
No - bandwidth is getting cheaper and faster all the time. I can already buy a tiny box that sits under the TV that can handle the streaming. Why have all that media sitting around as well? And, except for the occasional exceptional case, I don't watch the same movies over and over. Rent, stream, watch - that's where it's going, that's where I want to be.
- Andy Bold
Even though I was ogling pretty Blu-Ray players yesterday, I doubt I'd switch. I much prefer not to buy any more physical media (vinyl excluded) nowadays since I have no room to put them.
- Anika Malone
I don´t even have dvd player any more. I use streaming and downloading from internet services exclusively. My fiber optic ISP also has a local HD movie streaming service for the IPTV box under my plasma, so no plastic discs around here. (I don´t have any CDs anymore either).

20-45 minutes depending on the day (I work early a couple days per week). Podcasts and audiobooks for me.

20-30 minutes. I listen to NPR unless the local stuff gets really bad. Then I either tune in NPR on the XM radio or see how long I can stand listening to the Glenn Beck radio show. So far my longest is 3 minutes, but I must admit 2 and a half of that was commercials.
- Brian S.
My current commute is 40-45 minutes or more than an hour if there's a wreck somewhere. For the last 10 years I haven't had to commute more than 20 minutes each way, and this current commute is starting to wear on me. I thought this was the 21st century... why can't we ALL work from home?

I've had a 3 x 2 hour commute every day (for 9 months!) once - that was a nightmare. I slept mostly or read/listened to my MP3 player. Most of my commuting has been about 2 hours each way (as that is the time it takes to get from outside London to inside from wherever I've lived).

My office is 20 seconds down the stairs, 30 if I stop for a popsicle. The wife is a 1 hour drive each way and I often get pressed into service driving her back and forth, for which I'm very thankful that there is a thing called iPods and Podcasting. I also worship Pandora on those days as well.

When school is in, about 40 minutes from Marina Del Rey to Malibu, all along Pacific Coast Highway. I take the sideroads (which may or may not be quicker) up to the 1, then drive along the ocean for 25 minutes. It's pretty easy to stay sane when the Pacific is your view along the commute. The hardest part is not crashing because you're looking out at the water. :)

oh, I know you can access "regular' FF, but the iPhone version is much easier to read. and I know DMs end up in the home feed, but they get lost there. I'd just like to be able to access them easier. :)

I understand, Tad. My limit is 30 minutes. After that nothing new is going to be said or resolved. It's just wanking at that point.

Avynn's messed up our dumb Golden Retriever. He gets her to come inside by tricking her with a treat and chasing her all over the place. Now when I try to bring her in she thinks it's a big game. Finally resorted to just leaving the door open and she'll come in eventually. Good thing it's too hot for bugs.

Poll: Do you find Digg to be a useful website? Do you use it regularly? Were you a big fan when it came out?

Nope. Nope. Yep but then it became Slashdot 2.0.

I was a huge Digg fan when it first came out, but I quit using it not long after it came out of beta. I haven't been to the actual Digg website in quite a long time.

Used it for awhile when it first emerged. Now I just get all my stuff from the people I follow on friendfeed.
- Jonathan Hardesty
Nope, Nope, and no.

My theory is that most "power users" on the internet outgrew Digg years ago. I figure most power users are here on FF.

used it quite a bit before FriendFeed came around - now I find most everything that ends up on Digg has already hit here, or on my RSS reading list first
- Nathan Chase
Nope, Nope, Yes. I was a fan of it when it first came out. The site is not useful at all now - Things I read about on friendfeed are the "top diggs" a few days later.
- Johnny Schroepfer
Digg banned me. I was a "top user" (ranked #38) at the time.

Now, I don't patronize the digg.com domain at all. If someone sends me a Digg URL, I won't visit on principle. I also hide all Digg stories on FF. Digg screwed its community evangelists by ridding itself of their involvement. It's very disappointing.
- Tamar Weinberg
Have never used it.
- Derrick
no. i've used it about a total of 15 times in like three years. serves no purpose for me
- Cee Bee
I really used to like it, but after a while the rampant misogynism was just too much. Also: better content on Friend Feed usurped my need for fast news from them.
- Jennifer Dittrich
liked it when it came out, dislike it now. has been surpassed by better things anyway.
- Bill Kinney
Once in a while I'll visit it and look at Front page and Technology page but usually I get my news now from FF and...Twitter.
- Manuel Mas
Not really. I find the concept of mob voting on news items sort of silly.
- Mary Baum
No. Way too juvenile. Seems to be filled with angry young males. Not as bad as Reddit, but still. Tiresome.

Dick and I saw Netscape for the first time in late 1994. We signed up with our first ISP, mo.net, in early 1995, and I could have pitched my Maritz client's first web site in spring 1995, but we went to a funeral in VA instead. Later that year I came up pregnant with our son and read Usenet alt.something-or-other.breastfeeding voraciously until Jojo was born - made all the difference...

Mary, was your second comment supposed to go on Tad's "when was the first time you saw the internet" thread?
- Kamilah Gill
I subscribe to Digg RSS of their hot stories, good to follow what's happening around, what kind of content people vote for etc.

Prediction: In a year or two, Intelligent Agents will be THE big deal in web-connected apps. I'm actually working on a very small piece of that puzzle. :)
Very, very small, but has the potential to be an integral part.

More GOP failure: Here in AZ the Republicans are holding up the state budget which will force the state gov't to shut down tomorrow. Many of them are insisting on a "flat tax" scheme which would actually RAISE taxes on the poor and middle income earners and LOWER it for the wealthy. How stupid can they get?

All this plus their border-line racist (in some cases not border-line at all) policies towards immigration PLUS our huge Hispanic population here in AZ == big Democratic gains in 2010.

Did they look at California to see how to run a state gov't into the ground?
- Derrick
Apparently they're working off a similar playbook.
- John
RAISE taxes on the poor and middle income earners and LOWER it for the wealthy - i think that was always the plan
- Matthew Snape
We're no where near as bad off as California. We'd be ok if the GOP didn't insist on their dogmatic adherence to their "principles" of helping the rich at the expense of everyone else.

Actually we're doing the same dance here in MS. Apparently the GOP all over the country thinks people like it when their government doesn't work. Shows everyone how 'tuff' they are. Everyone I know seems to think it just shows how 'stupid' they are and stupid we are for electing these idiots. I'm not sure I'll ever vote (R) again after the last 9 years. Wonder if they're shooting for making it a decade of incompetence?
- Brian S.
It's too bad most of the Democrats are spineless cowards. Maybe we'll vote in a new batch nationally starting in 2010.

So, Rackspace has FANATICAL support, right? I'm wondering how a bunch of fanatics will respond to their outage yesterday. Hopefully they don't all jump off a bridge or something...

If they had just let the winner actually WIN back in November they could be 7 months past the issue and rebuilding. Instead they get this news and Sanford's debacle at the same time. Guess the GOP knows what to do when in a deep hole. 'DIG FASTER!' How low can they go by 2010?
- Brian S.
Dang - Gov Sanford is sinking even quicker now. Impending death of the GOP in 3, 2, ...
