I was planning to do a "REGRET COIN" or "PUMP(n'dump)COIN" as a parody... this beat me and is much more enjoyable.

It was also fun to actually be able to solve blocks solo when it first released. I got into bitcoin too late to do anything outside of pool mining, so I missed out there.

This seems a bit odd to me. The browser is still in the AOSP source (platform/packages/apps/Browser) and has 4.4_r1.2 tags. It was also included in a self-built rom for my Nexus 4 without doing anything to explicitly include it.

Even if google doesn't ship a browser in the source they provide to OEM's, the source for the AOSP browser is still readily available and trivial to add to the build.

Exactly. Plenty of high-profile blogs that are powered by wordpress also use disqus. Using disqus != using a site generator (jekyll), and using jekyll != using disqus.

The same could be said for those of us who use posterous to power our blogs. I think what the author of the article really wanted is to suggest a free/open commenting platform similar to disqus. I wonder how long until we see a "Comment.js" type post now? Could be cool.

There still hasn't been a release of honeycomb's source (3.0-3.2).

Exactly, many of the members have too much invested in android to just drop it and move on.

Most of my coding is hobby or university assignments because of that, my structure is pretty simple. I also compile a lot of programs and install them to my local/ prefix within my home directory (minimize system-wide clutter and restrict apps to just my homedir).

~/src - All of my personal projects, project structure varies depending on language/type of project. Most directories/project top-levels are scm directories.

~/build - any apps/libs not made by me that I compile and install local to my home directory

~/local - items from build/ get compiled with --prefix=${HOME}/local and install to here, ~/local/bin is in my path

~/www/(sub.domain.tld)/ - apache vhosts for local testing stuff (not production)

My $PATH contains ${HOME}/local/bin:${HOME}/local/games and in some cases other local/<bigprogramwithlotsoffiles>/bin entries.

Primary non-development machine (gaming/entertainment): i7 920 @ 2.8ghz, 6gb ddr3 1600, XFX Radeon HD 5770, Win7 Pro

Laptop (most of my dev and schoolwork is done on this): Thinkpad SL500 (2.0ghz Core2duo, 2gb ram) Dualboot ArchLinux (main/default) w/ Awesome/Xmonad and Win7 (for visual studio and dj software).

Netbook (eeepc 900A): ArchLinux, mostly used for IRC/web when on the run.

Much of my web and non-gui programming is done via ssh to my server in vim, so OS doesnt really matter to me.

Other people replied about a randomized/hard to guess email address. Building on your idea of a "hard to guess word" or token in the subject, posterous could allow a user to upload their public key, and require that their posts be gpg/pgp signed with their key (obviously this would be something that users would have to opt into). The displayed post could simply strip out the signature as it would only be needed for authentication.

Reddit changes their server line every now and then. Its usually fun stuff like that, or the line of other servers that they clearly don't use. Its entertaining to check it occasionally.

I do have a blog, but I rarely update it. Occasionally I get the urge to blog again, post regularly for a few weeks, then lose interest and stop posting for up to a year. This has been going on for awhile now.

Reminds me of what my last isp did to me with email, to an extent. Every account got 5 email addresses. The default was the bill payer's first initial, last name. I had one of the secondary email addresses of my first initial, last name too. One day, someone with the same first initial and last name as me signed up, and they assigned him my address and removed my access. That was really frustrating since I had that as my primary email account at the time.
