Broggy and Dorry are not part of the Straw Hat Fleet - Y'all thinking of the New Giant Warrior Pirates, led by Hajrudin (the giant from Dressrosa) who also has Stansen (the giant Rayleigh freed on Sabaody) on his crew. Broggy and Dorry are presumably allied with Shanks since Elbaf is his territory and they were last seen together beating the shit out of Kidd & co.

Broggy and Dorry aren't part of the fleet though! They're Shanks' allies! It's the New Giant Warrior Pirates who are part of the Straw Hat Fleet. Maybe THIS is part of what Shanks meant when he said it was time to go get the One Piece!!

When Caesar was caught making illegal weapons of mass destruction, Vegapunk removed him from his team, and Caesar blew up Punk Hazard in retaliation, covering it in poisonous gas (which later made it the perfect place for him to hide his continued operations).

You don't, and I doubt they'll be updating the firmware to make it possible. Make sub-folders and put some of the roms in that.

So... I wonder if we're going to have another Sugar incident on our hands if the person with that book-ability gets knocked out.

Doskoi Panda for Straw Hat Alliance captain!

Let's also not forget that Sanji is a brilliant strategist in his own right even when acting completely independently — he took care of the Gates of Justice at Enies Lobby on his own and look at the chain of events that set off. No doubt he will read the situation and add a few of his own surprises.

Stelly is the king of Goa now. By marriage I think?

Ace became a Whitebeard Pirates division commander in about as much time, right? Drake also has military experience in addition to his devil's fruit.

Water 7 and Enies Lobby are considered different "Arcs" - just ones that are in the same "Saga" (the World Government Saga) and directly connect. They're part of the same storyline in the same sense that all arcs in a saga are.

I'm using ReadKit and that's pretty awesome so far. But I'd absolutely love to see a native Mac app, particularly with highlight and Buffer support.

Hey Diogo, thanks for listening!

Re: Customer Support App Reviews

If I recall correctly, GetSatisfaction originally launched by setting up a bunch of unofficial support forums for companies that didn't have any, effectively shaming those companies into either opening accounts or sending them takedown requests. If that's true, then their business model seems like it depends on burning people.

I believe 37signals was one of the more vocal victims of this support-jacking tactic at the time. (Edit: Yup, http://37signals.com/svn/po...

If a company has a public phone number at all, it should be at the top of every page where it can't be missed. Why make angry users even more angry by hiding it from them? :)

It amazes me that simply letting users know what's going on when things break is still one of Apple's biggest weaknesses.

Re: 10 solid reasons RIM will make a comeback - Page 1 - Departmental and End User Computing

Joseph Rooks — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 13:10:39 -0000

Wishful thinking is fine. I really want RIM to recover and do well too. I liked my BlackBerry a lot back in the day, and it has been disappointing to see a smartphone pioneer like RIM circling the drain. But none of these arguments seem at all solid to me. They seem weak, subjective, based on hearsay and lacking any substantial proof. You can argue pretty strongly against every one of these points.

You can argue against most of them based solely on the language they're written in. Show me some links, show me some evidence, and maybe then it'll be believable. He-said-she-said-I-know-a-guy just doesn't fly for a company with such an awful track record.

I just can't find a true reason to believe that RIM has got it together. The smartphone industry does not need more good-enough phones. It needs real competition that knows how to bring the innovation. The way RIM used to, before they let all of their momentum go stale.

What a spectactularly shallow argument.

Re: Apple’s Schiller: iOS 6 Passbook works in place of NFC

Joseph Rooks — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 16:44:15 -0000

Apple has never been one to turn itself into a guinea pig for fad technology. There was no QR code reader built into iOS, either. They seem pretty careful about only implementing unproven technology if they're the ones who control it.

I'd love for your daughter to weigh in on this personally, too!

I'm an artist who attended art school, and gave and received many critiques.

Even though it's a common practice and a requirement, the artists I worked alongside never treated them that way. That's the distinction: the way the individuals treated their own work, not what structure was imposed upon it.

We looked at our critiques as an opportunity to learn to notice smaller and smaller details that we might exercise finer and finer control over. When my work is critiqued, others are pointing these opportunities out. When I critique the work of others, I have the opportunity to notice little pieces of their technique and incorporate those into my own work. That's value I get in exchange for the critique I've provided.

In the end, the professors have a responsibility to the institution to report on our performance, but in my experience, art professors are professional artists in their own right who know where to draw that line, so that art is allowed to be art, and grading is treated like a loose formality that says the work of an artist was done there.

And for an artist to do great, meaningful work, they need to be a good steward of their own work. If they choose to have a structure like art school imposed upon it, they must do their due diligence to ensure that the structure is giving them the results they want.

Re: PSA: Dropbox scraps Public folders July 31st, your sharing stays intact

I'm able to use "Get Link" on any file, outside of the specific "Public" folder, and it doesn't sound like public files in that sense are going away, just the default Public folder.

Based on some things I read, I'm pretty sure the iPhone 3G didn't get Geofencing in its version of iOS 5.
