They definitely reserve the big breasted girls who do the post competition interviews for the more "mainstream" sports. - Andy Bakun from Android

Jeez, the scores on this are calculated to 7 significant digits. - Andy Bakun from Android

"He'd respond with something like Your app was rejected, it's not that big a deal. Steve Sent from my iPhone." - Andy Bakun

"I don't know if that's how I'd describe it but, but one thing Android has is that each app needs to assert the capabilities it needs to run (can make phone calls, can keep the phone from sleeping, can access GPS info, can read anything on the sd card, will store data on the sd card, etc), and will not be able to do things it doesn't assert it needs in the manifest (this was actually a minor problem early on because the string for GPS access was unknown/documented wrong). And at least at install time, users can see these permissions so they can be aware of what they are getting into." - Andy Bakun

"From http://blogs.msdn.com/ie...... which was posted to HN a few days ago: Some standards tests – like Acid3 – have become widely used as shorthand for standards compliance, even with some shortcomings. I read this, at the time, as a somewhat whiny "if Acid 3 was a better test, we'd be able to pass it". As for the "boasting", they included a screen shot. And to be honest, this score is so low, I didn't even remember what a 32/100 Acid3 result looked like, so the screenshot was useful." - Andy Bakun

"One problem with putting standards compliance at such a low priority is that then they continue to screw the developers -- in the same way they have been with previous releases. It doesn't matter if the javascript engine is fast if the page looks like crap or developers continue to spend a lot of time trying to get a consistent experience across browsers." - Andy Bakun

So...you're going to go see Old Dogs? - Anika

Why is Seth Green being held by a gorilla? What is Travolta shrugging for? Williams in a suit? - Andy Bakun

"Collect a fee for providing a warm fuzzy for executives who claim they need someone to call or blame when things go wrong." - Andy Bakun

"This seems like it is equivalent to "remote API key" that sites like Friendfeed provide, in that you don't need to give your amazon password to the other site. It's kind of like a disposable credit card number in that respect. It could use a different name and a better explanation, though. Additionally, I can't even list a site where I'd buy something using Amazon's payment gateway where this would be useful -- there just aren't as many as those that use, say, paypal." - Andy Bakun

"When I absolutely had to print out code, 17+ years ago, I remember it being 66 lines on a US letter sized sheet (don't care to calculate what pitch that would be, or the font size -- whatever HP LaserJets would print by default if you sent plain text ASCII data to port 9100 directly. My university also had those terrible green banded fan-fold paper line-printers that was like 200 columns wide and maybe 80-100 lines. We referred to both of these as "pages". Now, I don't know anyone who measures code in "pages". This isn't a good metric when most projects are made up of multiple files. It's as good as measuring productivity in LOC." - Andy Bakun

Although, now I'm reminded of the Law and Order intro spoof they did on Family Guy. - Andy Bakun

"I was going to implement something like this a few years ago, then Firebug got its network stats page, and safari/chrome/webkit have it too. I was using bootchart ( http://www.bootchart.org/ ) for inspiration, but found out I didn't actually need an image of the loading once I could get what I needed from the browser's developer extensions, and I never ended up scratching that itch." - Andy Bakun

Not sure I see what your point is. Isn't this boiler plate for any association online or offline? - Brian Sullivan

I think they're just saying that they'll respect your privacy; you can tell people that you are a member. - joey

""Sometimes I put my log in information into the register fields." "Me too! I hate that not only do I feel stupid, I have to retype everything again." I hate the page LinkedIn shows when you're not logged in, it asks you to signup, and the login page is actually a different one. I find the call to action to register stands out, but they seem to hide the link to the login page. I never feel stupid when I encounter this, I feel like the site doesn't want repeat users, they want new user signups, and don't care if you end up recreating your account (this may explain why I've seen so many duplicate and inactive accounts on LinkedIn)." - Andy Bakun

"Well, it at least puts on-line advertising on the same footing as print advertising, analytics wise. No more highly targeted advertising, no more avoiding showing the same ad to the same user multiple times, no more being able to tell who looked at your ad or why or where they came from, no more being able to determine how qualified ad traffic is. So really, it's a significant step backward." - Andy Bakun

Maybe it's one of the recent builds of Chromium. - Andy Bakun

It makes me very angry when I look at your screen then have to go back to the crappy font rendering on my Windows machine. Bah! - Katie B

"Yeah, and Mozilla should re-rename Firefox to Firebird." - Andy Bakun
