Why can't we all just get along? We don't all have to like each other, just tolerate each other and respect each other's rights.
An ipad 2 only has a half gig of ram? I didn't realize how primitive the table devices are.
Committing acts of aggression isn't an example of government gone wrong; it's what governments are for.

The notion that it's possible to have a portion of humanity protect us from the rest is statist utopianism.

What the detective did was, obviously, depraved and indefensible under any circumstances by anyone. What the hell is "statist utopianism?" From where I sit, it's a bit of gobbledy-gook rhetoric lifted from a poli-sci textbook. The notion it's possible to have a portion of humanity protect us from the rest is part of an honorable and old-fashioned idea called the social contract, which has received short shrift in the past 30 or so years, as too many forget that we got where we are by cooperation and hard work, not greed and cruelty.

How does one jibe claims about the subjective nature of reality with claims such as "there's no way that the reactors in Japan could explode" or the determination of guilt in a court?

I can't stand the "subjective nature of reality" claim. Reality is objective; our interpretations of it are often subjective.

Were there babies in the Matrix virtual world? Newborns and children growing to adults and dying of old age?
"Death tolls rise." Yes, they do; it's the way of death tolls to rise. Barring great advances in medicine that's not likely to change for a while.

The phrase "desk jockey" should be made part of official job descriptions and titles.
Dear world: I don't want my software to have gear symbols. First off, it's software; there aren't any gears. It's not the analytical engine made of brass, and you guys aren't engineers. You're computer programmers, or systems analysts, or interface designers. That's right, some of you are designers, like fashion designers and interior designers.
Second, that gear, why do you put it where you do? You have a physical gear covered with adhesive that you throw at the screen while blindfolded after spinning around a few times and wherever it sticks is where the gear goes in your app, isn't that right?
- Sue - Friendfeed is best
Actually, we know why the gears and stuff started appearing in odd places - you're stealing interface designs and software from one culture and using them in a different culture, figuring you're less likely to have your misuse noticed that way, right? Some UI designer in the right to left world is probably putting major stuff on the left, copying from normal convention in my part of the world, driving my far off counterpart mad, just like me.

Go ahead, admit it; you've thought about starting a company with an abnormally capitalized name, like matchBook, haven't you? You bastard!

Seesmic's display seems initially to be fairly similar to Hootsuite. The dropdown from the text entry field blocks the column headers.

When I see the name "Gary Oldman" I think "Gary Coleman". Gary Oldman's name has never sunk in. In Alex's post at http://friendfeed.com/alexscr... , for example, when I first read it, I'm thinking about costumes on Gary Coleman.
"What the world needs now is force, sweet force. That's the only thing that there's just too little of." When people express their love of statist violence, as they so often do, those altered lyrics sometimes float depressingly through my mind.
If you don't feel like much is happening in your life, maybe there's some place you haven't found yet where you need to click on a "432 queued items" link.
