I can read it!! - Roberto Bonini

@RAP: 7hX ;) - Jemm

sadly, yes. - pea ♥s un-Mondays

Not right. - Yolanda

And I didn't even have to try... :( - Jandy Stone

tell me about it :( - Parth Awasthi

Woohoo! I can read it!..........waitaminute... - ha3rvey

Liked because yes, I can read it, not necessarily for the "facing reality" clause toward the end. - Jared Smith

wait a minute. i'm married! - Faboo Mama

That about sums it up, whether I can read it or not! - JodyUnwired

Sad... like Jandy, I didn't even have to try... and confusing, like Anika, I'm married and so not deficient in the needs dept. - Lindsay Donaghe

What Lindsey said. I think we are just super nerdy. - Cyndy

Britney - Michael Fidler via twhirl

wow, that about sums up our country's attention-span, eh? - MikeAmundsen

Palin. - Jim Jannotti

Mike - At least it didn't say 'exclusive'. Have a great day you guys ... - Charlie Anzman

@Charlie: yeah - "Breaking News" <g> - MikeAmundsen

Palin. If I had lunch with her, it would probably be next to impossible to keep my food down and I'd most likely puke on her. Sounds like fun to me! I'd love to go down in history as the gal that puked on Palin. Call the media and set it up! :-D - April Russo

Britney, as I would not have lunch with a bigot religious fanatic. She's easier on the eyes too :) - Thomas Frütel

Palin. I'd like to see if she has any depth, any ideas about the country that aren't just right-wing talking points at all. I think I know enough about Britney to answer that question about her. - steplow is Steve

britney is dumber than a box of rocks. i think there would be too many awkward silences and confused giggles. so i'd have to say palin, although i think i'd end up punching her, and that could get me in a lot of trouble. - Melissa Maskevich

I think I'd skip the meal. - Abby Martin

Palin, to get ammunition- not literally, lol, figuratively - anna awesomesauce

Britney for sure!!! - (jeff)isageek

If I had lunch with Palin, she'd probably give me the left over moose that she shot the week before. Britney would give me ACTUAL food! - Michael Forian

But expressing the essence is the difficult part, Hayk! - Mona N.

Awwwww - Yuvi

who said life is easy, Mona?! but love deserves to get our utmost attention and best of our efforts, right?:) - Hayk

It should Hayk, but often times than most it doesn't happen that way. ;) - Mona N.

(i hope there's more than seven) - dkb

if it happened frequently, it would loose its value, aura and the entire charm :) it is for the rarest of things that we strive, and it is their achievement which reminds us of how beautiful the life is ! - Hayk

The first step is to actually get a car with manual transmission, I can drive automatic transmission just fine though. ;) - Andrew Trinh

me too *nuzzles* night sweety - Caroline

Let's drive instead of doing maths. - Andrew Trinh

That's no fun! - Mladen Srdić

Manual Transmission gives way more control at higher speeds, especially during turns. When I was driving Auto, I regularly crashed into walls at sharp turns - that usually no longer happens when I'm driving Manual (I can shift down before the turn to increase traction and shift up after the turn without losing much speed). It's fun once you get used to it! - Yuvi

We're talking 'bout NFS here, right? RIGHT? - Yuvi

Hahahaha, epic. I thought we are talking about driving irl. EDIT: we are! (: - Mladen Srdić

Usually when I crash into walls, my car doesn't start up again. Yuvi, what's your secret? Driving a tank or something? - Andrew Trinh

Driving a kool aid? http://www.evilhumor.com/media... - Mladen Srdić

Mladen++, that's one way to recover from breaking through walls quickly. OH YEAH! - Andrew Trinh

@Andrew: Virtual Driving is way better than the real thing. Trust me on this, will ya? ;) - Yuvi

OH YEEEEEAAH! - Mladen Srdić

Nice answers, Chris. Did your robot overlords create those responses for you? - Pete Delucchi

I'm rubber and you're glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you. In other words, right back atcha. ;-) - pea ♥s un-Mondays

Hey, Rah, all I can say is thanks for not ping.fming this one. :) Makes us FF'ers feel kind of special-like. - Pete Delucchi

LOL! This is definitely an FF exclusive ;) - Rah™

Also, I don't know how *obligatory* it is, but the post is awesome, so, thanks for making it! You're awesome! - Pete Delucchi

I have no idea why I threw "obligatory" on the front of this...LOL. Sounded right at the time. - Rah™

You betcha, dude - Glen C

God, my memory is toasted right now, Patricia, I think you nailed it. - Pete Delucchi

I kind of feel bad for ruining his fun, if I am right but people seemed to be getting frustrated so i figured i'd offer a guess. :/ :D - pea ♥s un-Mondays

Yep - Rodfather

I'm going to blame my lack of sobriety or your superior intellect on figuring this one out. Either way, you're awesome, Patricia! :) - Pete Delucchi

Sheeny Buns <3 - Monique

Rahsheen is still awesome. :) - Abby Martin

see, this is why Rah Rocks.. :) - Kim via NoiseRiver

I'd give my kid one of the machines I have sitting around at home. - MiniMage LightBlueRanger

An $800 Apple _might_ do well in India. Atleast until people realize that they can't run Windows apps on it. - Yuvi

Why can't you run Windows apps on it Yuvi? - Chris White

if its a kid I say netbook -- because they'll probably find some way to trash or break it anyway. - john conroy

@Chris: By default, you can't. IMO, what's the point of buying a Mac when you can get a similarly configured Wintel machine if you're going to install Windows _only_ on the Mac anyway? - Yuvi

In case the context isn't clear, by _here_ I meant where I live - India :) I'm yet to see a live Apple computer with my eyes. - Yuvi

Yuvi, you can install Fusion for $79 and run Windows/Mac apps side-by-sde. Works well. - Chris White

Apple has never targeted that audience though. We don't know if they're trying that now. I doubt it. - Jesse Stay

@Chris: Incase you are unaware, Indians aren't receptive to spending. At all. As I said, this is extremely context specific - Apple is not, and will never be a successful company in India. Atleast with this strategy. - Yuvi

Kids will get the crappy desktop pieced together from left over parts. I don't think kids deserve a laptop until they can take notes in class. Anytime before, they'll just break it. - Rodfather

Is it just me or does apple releasing a $800 macbook seem like hell freezing over? - Eldon via fftogo

What if you're -NOT- laid off? What % of Apple's market do you expect to be out of work for the next year? - Glen C

Glen: I don't know. I don't know the depth of this thing. That's why there's still a lot of potential pain ahead. - Robert Scoble

I would have to think that, if a company like Apple is going to continue through the coming downturn, it would need to produce a lower-price notebook computer. Their history is to be the "high end"—$800 is high-end for a netbook mindset. They're never going to get 50% market share, but they're trying to get to 10% maybe. - Glen C

I'm sticking with my guess. If Apple is going to bring out something similar to a netbook, it will be a thin Core2Duo 12" with no optical drive. I'm doubting it though. There's no money in mass producing cheap netbooks. The competition is too high and if Apple is going to step in that arena, they would be in it to totally dominate the scene. That won't happen. - Rodfather

actually, not writing "on", but writing "a new" :) - directeur

That sounds interesting. Want to share more details? - Andrés David Aparicio

Andrés, it's a desktop apps framework. Essentially based on wxpython, and storm :) - directeur via NoiseRiver

Love that logo directeur - Kyle Lacy

Storm looked great when I last looked into it (2 days ago, actually) :) Enjoy! - Yuvi

Yuvi, yes it is. I really love it. Simple, not bloated and does the job :) - directeur via NoiseRiver

Kyle, heh, isn't it "lovely"? :) - directeur via NoiseRiver

Python3 or stickin with 2.6? - Yuvi

Yuvi, 2.6 but with py3k in mind ;) - directeur via NoiseRiver

Storm's got a 3 compat version? - Yuvi

Yuvi, don't think so... Actually storm is a tiny piece in the framework. The whole thing is about the easy GUI creation, the structure and the "magic" of simplicity ;-) And actually storm can even be replaced with another ORM - directeur via NoiseRiver

Sounds awesome :) Enjoy coding! - Yuvi

Thanks! Will share when it'll be more "mature" :) - directeur via NoiseRiver

Truer words have never been spoken. People join socnets, then proceed to tell people in the "social" realm how to behave. Control issues abound. I guess if people put things up that distract from the face time of the important folks, The important folks get nervous. - Eban Crawford

Well said. - Soulhuntre via twhirl

can't stand the crying. agreed - Cee Bee

Personally, I think the people who constantly bitch about it look like idiots. Learn how to use FF and adapt it to your personal needs or just say buh bye. When the noise from my TV or radio becomes bothersome, I turn it off. - Trish R

Please hold while this thread vanishes in a puff of logic! - Daniel J. Pritchett

Whoops -- a bit of a paradox here. :) Think about it. - Sean McBride

The only time something bugs me is when I bring up FF at work and there's a giant very, very NSFW photo on the main feed. :/ Other than that, I'm loving that hide button! - Rochelle

I openly use FF at work!! I agree one must not shift the responsibility of one's choices on FF. Well put, Chris. - Hayk

Rochelle, I agree, the pictures are sometimes a shocker when it pops up and I'm not expecting it. - Trish R

You get it, Daniel J. Pritchett. :) If this thread doesn't peg your illogic meter, nothing will. :) - Sean McBride

post to FriendFeed Feedback room asking for a way to option linked photos as NSFW? I;m not sure how that would work with imported Flickr pics, but it would help with uploaded photos.. just an idea (That way you could set in your personal options to to display NSFW photos from 8-5 or something like that) - JasonTFleming™

I agree with the sentiment expressed in the OP, I just found this whole thing funny. - Daniel J. Pritchett

Well said Chris!! - Kol Tregaskes

i'm beginning to think the people whining about "noise" or what's appropriate, are just mad when their oh-so-clever post doesn't get comments. - Faboo Mama

on that note faboo, everyone check out my feed: http://friendfeed.com/ultrasur... - Cee Bee

Some people love to hear themselves talk. *blah blah blah* :P - Molly, the Vampy Vampire

power to the people! - Dobromir Hadzhiev

this++ - Rah™

++++Daniel & Sean, someone complaining about ppl complaining ;) - and yet I still agree with Chris.. logic schmogic :) - Kim via NoiseRiver

oh, totally. noise is a relative term. - Sarah Perez

AMEN! - Mavericks of A-sauce!

+1 @chris... although, when you think of it, your comment about hating comments that lament what constitutes an 'appropriate post' is effectively just the same thing, no? you're post is just bitching about people bitching about posts...but it's still, er, bitching... but not bitchin', which is cool, dude! lolz - .LAG

well said, Chris. - Carmen

You realize the last guy to post about Noise follows 3,500 people? That whole bit kinda baffles me. - Marko Bon

I'm not apologizing for the irony underlying my post, even if it seems to have irritated a couple of folks. ;-) - Chris Baskind

Get off my lawn! - Alex IHateMondays Scoble

I'm writing a Letter! - John Worthington

Are you sure this is the place to complain about FriendFeed? ;) - Soulhuntre via twhirl

lolz! i'm with you @chris: people should just learn how to use the filtering tools. that being said, FF could improve said tools vastly, methinks. we can hope. - .LAG

Excellent post Chris. Sweet, to the point, and my thoughts exactly. That being said, I hope you can agree that there is a bit of a learning curve with getting the tools of Friendfeed here to work for you instead of against you. I enjoy the hell out of this service, but I've read dozens of blog posts from people that know what the hell they're doing and have given tips on how to make this service manageable and more fun. You have to make the experience here work for you. - Pete Delucchi

It's something. Not sure if it's envy though. Maybe it's bra envy considering how often I get requests to show the bra. Not that I blame them. I do have awfully cute bras. - pea ♥s un-Mondays

lol? (And oh, if my Dad asks: I didn't see this entry!) - Yuvi

Hide, Yuvi! Hide is your friend. - pea ♥s un-Mondays

@Pea: I thought censorship was my friend! ;) - Yuvi

No, no. You can't dictate what people put out into the world. But you can definitely control what you take in. That's the beauty of it all. - pea ♥s un-Mondays

did anyone mention boobs :-P - Dobromir Hadzhiev

@Pea: </jk> I was told that children aren't supposed to see the word boob. We are supposed to pretend that such things don't exist. Funny, eh? - Yuvi

Ha Yuvi! What about babies who nurse?? - Cyndy

@Cyndy: They too aren't supposed to know! - Yuvi

Insecurities? Or leftover manliness? :D - Ron

A world without boobs seems like a very sad place to live in. - pea ♥s un-Mondays

@Pea: Try a world where you know they exist, but pretend not to know. Sadder :( - Yuvi

Hmm. I think I'll pass on that one if you don't mind. I'm sorry for your troubles, my dear. - pea ♥s un-Mondays

@Pea: I was trying my sense of humor. Apparently, I got a huge FAIL :( - Yuvi

I am a fan of dirty pillows. - Not Not Geoff Schultz

No, no. It's not you, Yuvi. It's me. I'm so thrown by the idea of a world where boobs aren't a great thing that I've lost my ability to laugh. You rock. Don't worry. - pea ♥s un-Mondays

A minute amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second to take from four days to four years to complete. Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2-6 years; it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass. - ChangeForge | Ken Stewart

When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons. - ChangeForge | Ken Stewart

awww., my 10th grade history teacher loved this joke. - Faboo Mama

My Sunday (which ends in an hour) wasn't so great. This one cheered me up - Thanks for sharing! - Yuvi

Aww, Yuvi, I hope your Monday goes much better!! :-) - Corie "Viper" Jones

Did I just hear "Monday" and "Better" in the same sentence? ;) - Yuvi

Corie, where's this building at? - imabonehead

Hahaha, yes, you did. :-) Everyone is always hating on Mondays...but they can be good, too!! - Corie "Viper" Jones
