Yes.

That's what we needed - the friggin pownzerd generation running around with these things.

OldHippie | 16 years ago | on: How Many Times Should You Tweet Your Blog Post?

0. It's like calling someone to see if they got your email. If they read your blog, they read it. If they don't, write something more interesting. If you're so infrequent that you need to tweet when you blog then find something else to do.

tweet, blog... I feel dirty.

Yes oh mighty and complex one. The problem is that we're too simple to grasp your controls. Asshat.

How about a simple radio button: [] Share my information with 3rd parties [] Do not share my information with 3rd parties

Put it right at the end there as an override in case we can't understand some of your more complex settings.

did everyone just miss the point where Jobs said that Apple wanted to be able to be free to release new hardware features and not have to wait for some 3rd party to support development for them?

OldHippie | 16 years ago | on: Seattle cartoonist launches "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day"

I'm not so sure about actively trying to offend a group of people so flagrantly. I wonder how Ms Norris would react to "Everyone draw a bitch getting slapped" Day or "Everyone illustrate a sexist joke" Day.

I'm not Muslim and am not offended by depictions of Mohammed. I have no problem with political commentary through mediums like cartoons, but this "Everybody Draw" day seems childish and rude. It offends some people, have some respect.

well, yeah and I do, but it is nothing like the good old days working for Mayflower and being all ripped without thinking about it.

Yeah, wait until you're older and have a corp desk job. The days spent toiling moving furniture will feel like your past life as a greek god. You'll look back on stuffing any food you want into a naturally evolving muscular machine of a body as your ass slowly forms into a chair shape around the dent of your paid for yet unused Snap-Fitness card.
