“This sucks, I am on a liquid diet for at least three days. Any chefs out there with some tips for liquid, but filling meals? No I will not put my meal in a blender.”
I'm sure you've had your share of fruit smoothies but you can also blend oatmeal flakes with your other stuff to basically create a well balanced any-time smoothie. Also try some thick soups like split pea, tomato (w/ milk). That's the best I can help.. as I never had to do that! - Bartek Gniado
"Delicious has "saving", FriendFeed has "liking". These are basically the same thing except that Delicious saves for the long-term and has tagging while FriendFeed is basically for the short-term." - Oliver Ding
I never saw Delicious as a social tool despite some of the social aspects it had (But of course, not fully there yet) .. I'm sure I'm in the majority for people who used Delicious for bookmarking so I can fetch them on any computer I want. - Bartek Gniado
And I use delicious as a search engine. As a vertical search engine that network of yours can get very powerful. That said, the majority probably use it just as a bookmarking service - Deepak
del.icio.us could have been much more, but they defined themselves too narrowly. Also, having 0% innovation also hurts a bit :) - Mike Reynolds
Really good - not what you expect with a huge twist but very enjoyable. - Colin Walker via fftogo
Thinking about seeing this tonight myself. I'll save WALL-E for when the kids come back from camp. - Harvey Simmons
Saw Hancock last night. It was better than I anticipated. Left some questions unanswered, but still a good movie. - Harvey Simmons
Definitely worth watching. Will Smith is becoming a good character actor - Colin Walker
Surprised how many people are seeing this despite it's bad reviews. But then again, Will smith is a pretty great actor so even on a bad script he can do wonders. - Bartek Gniado
Bartek - must admit, I'd not read any reviews so went in and formed my own opinion ;) - Colin Walker
"Daily Typography: Coolvetica. Everyday we’ll feature one a great, new font. The font in our feature graphic above is “Coolvetica” and it just so happens to be the font that we’re featuring today to kick things off." - edythe via Bookmarklet
this is what you get when you follow a link in a times article online instead of the expected behavior of taking you to the actual topic website. a complete user experience peeve of mine. - rob zand
Seems to just be a 1x1 iframe that isn't hidden - Bartek Gniado
I think it's been there since they implemented the "Loading" bar which is a couple weeks. Someone else mentioned that it's to overcome using the back-button with AJAX? - cmiper
My own (brief) 2 cents on this, from the mozilla/firefox point of view, is that it can be a really good way to start -- to start getting interested & engaged users, to start getting a corpus of interesting data, to rapidly figure out what users want. And that that start could get you into the millions of users -- but over time you'll be led towards other & more comprehensive ways to give great stuff to users. - John Lilly
Agree with John. Extensions seem like a good way to get out there and build a name on a simpler platform, and then if your idea has potential to expand you can build from there. - Bartek Gniado
Fast Food and Smart Eating don't go together. Most of those meals may be low in calories but they sure as hell are not low in additives and other chemicals. - Bartek Gniado
"A new study of nations’ vulnerability to the impacts of global warming found Canada was the most secure, while the Comoros Islands, off the coast of Africa, are least equipped to deal with future dangers." - Shey via Bookmarklet
Is it just me or is the list more or less divided in terms of development? Doesn't it seem to suggest that all the developed countries will get by and the rest of the world will not? How is Japan in that list when the factors are popln density, land area and agriculture? - Parth Awasthi via twhirl
Wait..if temps were to drop dramatically, Canada would be the first to turn into a popsicle, no? - Hao Chen
@Parth i would seem that way and it also has to do with population density: "This is because of the low pressure on natural resources resulting from a low population density and large land area, combined with high agricultural capacity, a healthy economy, few development and health challenges and excellent public institutions." - Shey
@Hao Temps in Toronto are already so messed up, I don't think it could get worse. In Spring and Autumn temps can go up or down 15 degrees celcius in less than a day. - Shey
Shey, I think that the LakeShore corridor will be no more . Al that water melting to the will certainly fill up the lakes to..just not the sea levels !! @Hao, u got a point there.."the day after tomorrow" story :)- - Peter Dawson
I guess I'm moving to Yellowknife, NT, though the south pacific looks like a better place - clarke thomas
Shey: Exactly my point. The list ignores the first few factors, it concentrates heavily on - 'a healthy economy, few development and health challenges and excellent public institutions'. The counterpart to global warming is fiercer winters - not exactly great for agriculture. Low popln - won't people migrate in the event of an apocalypse?It ignores the dependence of the food cycle on plants and of plants on the sun. Most studies reveal the tropics as our best bet despite higher chances of imminent flooding. - Parth Awasthi
Some people are buying land along the projected Arctic shipping route. Others are investing in land assuming a 100-200+ ft water rise. - Mitchell Tsai
thats an interesting concept, new shipping lines across the Arctic, it will cut shipping cost from China to America :)- - Peter Dawson
Parth, those are all good points. Hopefully they factored that in somehow. That being said, the most developed countries are still gonna have an upper hand anyway. - Shey
Most notable about this is that the "western world" - North America, Western Europe and Australia are all LEAST likely to suffer climate change. Aren't the "collective we" most responsible according to the so-called experts? - Aaron Brazell
@Aaron We are, yes. But I'd say China and India are also to blame and they aren't in the green here. - Shey
am i the only one who finds a kitten about to be fork stabbed disturbing? not. cute. imho... - Mona N
Like when we were in North Vietnam, and my wife (who is Vietnamese and loves dogs) says to the taxi driver, "Oh, look at all the dogs on the porches of this town.", and he says, "They are food." - Chris White
btw I'm Japanese, not Chinese.. we'd eat your pets too but goldfish sushi? do.not.want! - Mona N
Chopsticks would clearly be the more appropriate utensil here. - Chris White
Reality check-many pets are food or pets then food in other cultures. Disturbing maybe. People that eat animals for food are kind of fascinated on how pet lovers spend so much money on an an animal. Not saying either side right or wrong just different. - Mark Forman
Mark: The live fuzzy kitten about to be forked stabbed is disturbing.... not the choice of delicacy <-for lack of a better word =\ - Mona N
"Great link and good article. Loved the diagrams. I'm kind of in stage 4 but I spend frivolously sometimes and then don't save for that month. But this month I began doing automatic take outs of my account through ING each week which is working nicely to force savings." - Bartek Gniado
way to go guys, onwards and upwards! good luck! you haven't worked at a real startup unless there is a foozball table or a pool table. looks like you are legit :) - Ivan Stegic
a malmo chair from ikea! the very same colour as mine! - Giovanni De Stefano
I like that office, I wish mine was that nice!! - Paul
It seems you bought more tables and chairs to hire more hackers. I like how open your office is. - seman
We actually didn't buy any tables or chairs - they were left here by the last company. We have a table/chair graveyard in the back as a consequence :) - Bret Taylor
It looks exactly the same as the old office... - Jini
The red chair is still my favorite, but it looks like I have more seats to try out. - Amit Patel
On first thought - great Place! I like the open air about it... but on second thought I don't think I can work in such an open space. I just need my personal space. - Parth Awasthi
sweet, but I'd put those pool cues in a cue holder or they will bend stored leaning against a wall...causing bad shots. also sunlight on pool table will cause fading, but you probably will just get a new table eventually w/ all the success! :) - Pokai
sacrilege to say I think it looks pretty ugly? - Adam
I agree. I added one of my projects into LinkedIn and it looked like I worked there from the profile listings because it was my most recent task. Kind of lame - Bartek Gniado
"Your best bet is to try out all the freelance sites, or run your own programming business if you have the skills and profile to back it up (and the time). I used oDesk for awhile for some supplemental income to fund a vacation I wanted to go on. I've also heard of RentACoder but never used it. Make sure to have a blog, or some kind of portfolio site up and running as well as examples of stuff you've done ready to show. It seems people like to see that you built the stuff for a business in action! Also, fix your url .. just type self, cause right now its trying to go to http://self.programming" - Bartek Gniado
