So, for a change I'm going to record the Super Bowl this year. Might even watch it live. What is wrong with me? #SB44 #
@miss_cath Could be an oversight? in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath Bleh. That's people for ya. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath No such thing as a "mere contributor". A site lives and dies with its writers. Maybe a communications SNAFU, too. :/ in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath Oops, sorry. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath Oh, good. Thought I was in trouble there for a moment. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath I'd like to do that, too, one of these days. New York to LA via Chicago, and the reverse via New Orleans. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath It should. All the history you can travel alongside… ah, well, one day. in reply to miss_cath #
Die ARD Kommentatoren nerven. #superbowl #ARD #
I like first down marker displayed. So much easier to follow the game as European. #superbowl #
@peterc American Football is Rugby For Wusses, anyway. Armor? Puuulease! in reply to peterc #
2 yards… man. #saints #superbowl #
Solid defense by the #colts. Fun game so far. Hope for 10-10 halftime score #superbowl #
Woah. Very nice defense #saints #superbowl #
Well, at least a field goal for #saints And now: The Who! #superbowl #
Sportspiele = Gewaltverherrlichung. Ja, ne. Is klar, #ARD Wenn man keine Ahnung hat, einfach mal Fresse halten. – D. Nuhr #
Nice! #saints #touchdown #superbowl #
@Montaignejns you want to jinx it, don't you? in reply to Montaignejns #
@houseofprince Easy. Both involve flogging. #
@Montaignejns that touchdown is your fault! #colts #touchdown #superbowl in reply to Montaignejns #
@majornelson Wait, what? Our Euro ads are witty? News to me… #
Nicely close score in the #superbowl better than the other two I saw in the last 8 years. #
Soooo close for both! #superbowl #
Enjoying a nice tactical #superbowl good decision to stay up for this game #
@houseofprince Yay for ARPAnet and CERN, then, for creating a nice emergency pressure valve for the rest of us. in reply to houseofprince #
#colts intercepted and #touchdown for the #saints Game's in the bag, I say. #superbowl #
@icedsoul oh when the saints go marching in… #
#colts are getting nervous. Manning showing some nerves? #superbowl #
@houseofprince ARPAnet was the Internet protocol, and CERN saw the creation of HTML: both are in use to this day #
Woah #colts are really rattled. And the clock's ticking away ever so slowly… Fun game, seriously. #superbowl #
Congratulations for winning the 44th Super Bowl, New Orleans Saints. Thanks for an interesting match to you and the Indianapolis Colts #
iTunes: Good at nothing in particular. Can't even close the damn app because it's stuck connecting to the iTunes Store. *headdesk* #
Adobe: When Windows Media Player is the better Flash player, U R DOIN IT RONG! #
@peterc You can probably file that under "Obvious Findings", I guess. in reply to peterc #
@peterc I'd use goatse or something like that, but I've got a mean streak. So, yeah. in reply to peterc #
@peterc I doubt there's much risk. "Your Honor, while wacking off live on a webcam, someone showed me nasty pics from the intertubes!" in reply to peterc #
@irascian Is Silverlight support in Expression Studio now, perhaps? in reply to irascian #
@irascian I'm getting a headache from thinking about that. MSFT's usual problem: So many SKUs, so much stuff to support. *sigh* in reply to irascian #
@irascian Lovely. At least I'll get VS2010 Pro for free thanks to my college's MSDNAA membership. Less to worry about re. included features. in reply to irascian #
@LBugnion TED2010? in reply to LBugnion #
A 1 hour HotSpot pass for "just" 8 EUR? T-Com, you are fascinating. In that train wreck kind of way. #
@LBugnion Ah! Sounds like fun, too. Makes me wish I had something valuable to contribute to something. in reply to LBugnion #
@LBugnion Not even if I ask with a cherry on top? in reply to LBugnion #
@LBugnion The kind Glenmorangie offers (Lasanta is a whisky that ripened in a cherry barrel until sale). in reply to LBugnion #
@colleenlindsay Spam bots, phishing bots, etc. in reply to colleenlindsay #
@LBugnion OK! Er, wait… Anyhow: Enjoy your NDA'd trip and non-NDA'd (I hope) reunions. in reply to LBugnion #
Finally, sync for my Google Contacts and Calendar on the iPod Touch. OTA, alas (Apple, why not in iTunes? Only supporting Outlook blows.) #

@wyhaines Because in SFO people are willing to pay, I guess. in reply to wyhaines #
@wyhaines It is. But as long as travelers are willing to fork over money, I don't see why SFO should change. Stupid de-facto monopolies. in reply to wyhaines #
@wyhaines Only if the customer has a choice, tho. But if you have to use SFO, or LAX, or FFM, you are stuck with it. in reply to wyhaines #
@wyhaines You bet there are! But customers can't chose with their feet as it were, to make SFO feel the pain, too. in reply to wyhaines #
@wyhaines Yeah, but they are, as far as SFO is concerned, externalities. Somebody Else's Problem, in a nutshell. in reply to wyhaines #

@miss_cath I find that not eating fast food helps me the best to get rid of the excess calories. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath Yeah, that didn't last long. Back to the job hunt (at least, I got some funds to do that properly now). in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath No doubt. But no need to stop doing that (unlike fast food), either. in reply to miss_cath #
So, LaTeX (and MiKTeX) are useful. LyX, not so much. Conclusion: The Word processing metaphor fails when applied to layout-agnostic formats. #

@geopsychic Well, I get results faster with vim and MiKTeX, than with LyX and MiKTeX. Not as comfortable since I have 2 shells open, tho. in reply to geopsychic #

@cameronreilly Seems like anything with HPF+ support can access the drive, so you should be able to recover docs and such. in reply to cameronreilly #
@cameronreilly Yeah, backups. What will they think of next in Camino? in reply to cameronreilly #
@cameronreilly Tht should've been "Cupertino", BTW. *facepalm* in reply to cameronreilly #
What I love about Open Source? You can stand on the shoulders of giants. #
@miss_cath *heh* Even in 2010, advice will be trite and obvious. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath Well, relationship advice has to be somewhat general. Every relationship is different, after all. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath I prefer Aero to the Beryl effects. Much less annoying after the "oh shiny" has worn off. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath God, yes, don't I know it.. in reply to miss_cath #
Ouch. Wubi throwing up drive errors for my empty drives (and Windows 7 is even less helpful with those than Vista was. Go figure.) #
@miss_cath Been there, done that, switched off Wobbly Windows as soon as I could. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath Bet you ain't. I'm not using Linux, since it is not, and will never be. Geeks like me don't get usability. Stuff gotta be pure in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath Case in point: The flak Canonical got for daring to make Linux somewhat user-friendly. Dear gods. Or the distro wars. No, thanks. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath So am I. Got a Ubuntu VM running right now, and keep taps on Ubuntu's development in general. 1st OS I recommend, too. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath Yeah, @gnuchris is one of the saner Linux zealots around. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath One of two things that make me murderous… in reply to miss_cath #
@pst555 more than you think, fewer than you want. in reply to pst555 #
@pst555 And how homogenous/heterogenous an environment is, from hardware, via OS, to apps. in reply to pst555 #
@PsychoI3oy It's worked on my XBox since day one. ;P in reply to PsychoI3oy #
Fighting boredom. That's so very, very ironic. #
@objo Try coffee.. without cream? You might even like it. (Easier to get good, cheap, *and* organic tea than coffee, though.) in reply to objo #
@objo BTW: http://www.foodnetwork.com/good-eats/true-brew-2-mr-tea/index.html Gives good hints regarding tea, even as refresher to vets. in reply to objo #
Gah. I hate waiting for downloads. Especially when I want to build an LFS system. Ah, well.. #
@bindermichi Handbreak? in reply to bindermichi #
@bindermichi Dann mal VLC versuchen? in reply to bindermichi #
@bindermichi hab sogar eine transcode.bat here rumliegen (müsste halt für h.264 oder so angepasst werden). aber k.a. wegen Untertitel. in reply to bindermichi #
@bindermichi Ich drück die Daumen.. in reply to bindermichi #
@louspringer Cool. Got botnetted already, too? in reply to louspringer #
@miss_cath An equal control issue: Rape. The two instances where I don't tame my lust for blood.. in reply to miss_cath #
@gnuchris Quite so. ^^ in reply to gnuchris #
@louspringer Changing the default sshd password should help already (that's the entry vector for the current jailbroken iPhones). in reply to louspringer #
@louspringer Should go to certs ASAP, if you ask me. in reply to louspringer #
Ugh.. cup of really mild coffee, and I get heartburn. Doesn't happen with strong brew. Bah. #
@mpesce Don't I wish.. in reply to mpesce #
@cameronreilly Trespassing laws? I guess a shopping center is private property. in reply to cameronreilly #
@gnuchris In a way, they do. Same way you do, if you read a book, for example. "Your mind makes it real." to quote Morpheus in The Matrix. in reply to gnuchris #
@LBugnion Green houses, and a warm climate in general, don't prevent strawberries in December from being bio. #ilovephysics in reply to LBugnion #
@LBugnion Shipping happens any season. Whence the importance of buying locally. *Growing* can happen as long as circumstnaces permit. in reply to LBugnion #
@LBugnion If your definition means "Don't you use science!", then, yes, it's obviously different. in reply to LBugnion #
@LBugnion Yes, that's why a green house is such a useful thing to have: http://tinyurl.com/lmw7f IOW: Make physics work for you. in reply to LBugnion #
@LBugnion How about going there, and take a look at the ground? How the stuff is actually *produced*, before passing judgement? in reply to LBugnion #
@LBugnion I have no clue. I buy locally and by season (i.e. I pass on non-seasonal food at the grocer). in reply to LBugnion #
@LBugnion If they are "bio" as per label demands, then they are bio. If the label doesn't care about transport, change the label. in reply to LBugnion #
@LBugnion Not quite. You didn't consider all possibilities why someone differing in opinion from you could be correct. in reply to LBugnion #
@LBugnion We all need reality checks. Glad I could help. in reply to LBugnion #
@miss_cath Yeah, I value personal freedom very high, so it's only logical I hate both these things. the blood lust is a fringe benefit. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath Rather be the neighbor of the Beast? in reply to miss_cath #
@bindermichi Ich kenn das als "Suchen und Ersetzen". #l33tsp34k #patent in reply to bindermichi #
@bindermichi Müsste man ins Patent selbst schauen. So oberflächlich gesehen: find ich net, dass das irgendwie neu wäre. in reply to bindermichi #
Something is wrong here.. iTunes is working out of the box, without annoying me? Strane things are afoot.. #
Anyone got Apple HQ's missile address? iTunes keeps not working, iPod not syncing. 1st and last time I bought and recommended Apple. #
Can you procrastinate procrastination? If so, I'm doing it. #
@chadfowler race cars shed the luxuries of your or my car in favor for speed and maneuverability. Not at all comfortable to drive a race. in reply to chadfowler #
@chadfowler Reflexes, endurance, decisions within milliseconds. Yeah, it's atheletic. Look at a driver after a race, for example. in reply to chadfowler #
@miss_cath wish my camera wasn't broken. It's similarly nice here, too, for a change. #
@miss_cath yeah, Isee opportunities everywhere, too. But the optics in my mobile blow. Ah, well. in reply to miss_cath #
Finally: rubyzen.org is alive #ruby #appliance #
@gnuchris A storm's a-coming, indeed. in reply to gnuchris #
@gnuchris Ugh. Remind me of that once I complain about the local weather again. #
@elight Aren't driver licenses state-level, with little to no federal guidance/laws? in reply to elight #
@wyhaines Why not? in reply to wyhaines #
@miss_cath I'd get a boat, too. All that snow is gonna melt eventually.. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath That's why I like having a fireplace. in reply to miss_cath #
@wyhaines Well, a canonical set of metrics would always be helpful, I'd say. in reply to wyhaines #
@pjhyett Have you been reading blogs again? in reply to pjhyett #

@pragdave Hey, that's close to where I am. I live in Denial. #calvin #hobbes in reply to pragdave #
@Montaignejns From what I've read: Yes, you'll be able to enjoy Flash ads on the Nexus. in reply to Montaignejns #
@Montaignejns Actually, I'm glad I don't have Flash on my iPod Touch. Makes surfing much more bearable, IMO. in reply to Montaignejns #
@miss_cath I'd make an obvious "turn that frown upside down: ):" joke, but it's too obvious, even for me.. in reply to miss_cath #
@defunkt "apt-get install vim" in reply to defunkt #
@defunkt Admit it: you miss the ":" in reply to defunkt #
@miss_cath A kitten with claws, in other words. in reply to miss_cath #
@jm Invest in winter tyres. Helps a lot with grip during the yearly ice age. in reply to jm #
@Montaignejns Gotta love it. "moral obligation", indeed. Hypocrites. in reply to Montaignejns #
@miss_cath Nice. in reply to miss_cath #
@LBugnion Don't you Swiss have access to a digitalized postal service already? Could use that. in reply to LBugnion #
@peterc Saw that long before Twitter. Especially common on web forums. "'Quote' button? What's a 'quote' button?". in reply to peterc #
@peterc Or at least ship them from Europe, not the US.. in reply to peterc #
All that snow makes me want a hot chocolate. #

@miss_cath Depends on the photoshop, I'd say. If it's a Ralph Lauren Photoshop, I'd be alarmed. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath That's some relief, then. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath Absolutely. That's the way I'm wired, at least. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath That's what I hope. in reply to miss_cath #
@fdiotalevi Maybe that it is, well, dead-simple and featureless? in reply to fdiotalevi #
@miss_cath You are quite welcome in reply to miss_cath #
@bryanl Amazon's EC2 outages already did. And GMail outages. Or Google Apps for Domains outages. I probably missed a Salesforce outage. in reply to bryanl #
@miss_cath That's what you get for taking walks in the bloody cold. in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath What, and let the camera gather dust? in reply to miss_cath #
@miss_cath Point. in reply to miss_cath #
