"Why is this not obvious to people from the MPG information? It is because comparing MPG don’t directly reflect the cost differences. In Europe they present efficiency measures I liters per 100 kilometers, and this seems to be a much more intuitive measure." - Tom via Bookmarklet

"Each adapter will act like a hub that several devices can plug into. The first are expected to go on sale in the first quarter next year for under US$100, Chang said. The adapters also will shut off the power supply when a device has finished charging or is turned off, giving further energy savings." - Tom

Not the expected result (for me), but I'm guessing this is a feature not a bug ... and evidence that I probably misunderstand the intention behind rooms. =) - Tom
Part of the purpose of rooms was to separate your posts, so, e.g., I can post a bunch of geeky stuff to a room and my family doesn't need to see it. That said, posting to multiple places at once is a common request, so we need to make it easier. - Bret Taylor

"Cicero, while we are quoting the ancients, once defined freedom as participation in power. I think it is the best definition of freedom that I have heard. Freedom is participating in power such as a deliberative democracy, such as government, such as corporations, such as trade unions. People have to participate in those areas of power that affect their lives so intimately." - Tom
