DISQUS

@vb1114: A man, a human being is dead you ass....

So? We can always make more.

I too finally got around to listening to the Podcraft. Really enjoyable.

I have to confess that I found Boxcutters via a search about Marieke Hardy. I think I found it about just after she left, but stuck around for the subject matter, and of course, the humour.

I've taken to sampling S01E01 of most of the shows my tvRSS feeds tell me about, usually after reference Wikipedia to see if I'll be interested. There's a lot of dross about, though.

Where's the Donate button? I'd click it to keep you away from advertising.

Just watched the clip.

Sorry he died (and pancreatic cancer is about one of the most horrible ways to go that I can think of) but if that was his best bit, he wasn't very funny.

I wasn't offended, mind you. I just didn't laugh.

Maybe times were different then.

Last comment is freaky right. I think you should apply this patch immediately.

Is it "now here" or "no where "?

I am confused...

Don't know if there's any video for Jed to entertainingly splice together, but it would be good if people were aware of some of the stuff in this article:

The potentially visually compelling aspect of this is that while Palin made a big deal of cancelling the Ketchikan "Bridge To Nowhere" (although she had previously supported it), they're still building a Road To Nowhere to the bridge that they're not going to build - because it's all being done with federal money, and if they don't build it they'll have to give the money back.

"Meanwhile, work is under way on a three-mile road on Gravina Island, originally meant to connect the airport and the new bridge. State officials said last year they were going ahead with the $25 million road because the money would otherwise have to be returned to the federal government."

There are some photos of the road here - maybe they also have some video?

Jaykul,

I really like your ideas. Really the scripts with built in dependencies thing is brilliant. I have written bash scripts before that automatically check for dependencies and download them if they are not met, but it actually never occurred to me there could be created standardized way with little logic to accomplish the same thing.

As far as the security concerns, I am not an expert in encryption and hashing/signing algorithms, but I can assume it can be done for free as packages are typically required to be signed to work with apt-get without throwing a scary error. By default apt-get in Ubuntu for instance will only find and install software signed by select Ubuntu developers. I assume they use this "web of trust" thing, but as I said, I didn't study how it's accomplished yet.

But we can have a trusted group of people who evaluate all the scripts and cmdlets to ensure they are malware-free, then sign them using this method. Like apt-get if the auto dependency checker encounters a dependency which it can not verify a trusted signature for, it should fail.

avast is my favorite... it's lite!

For the unintiated, let me warn you: Microsoft AdCenter is *terrible*. Save yourself the heartache. It's not worth it for $1,000 in free clicks.

Stupid, tiny iframes; mis-sized columns; poorly sized data-entry fields, *useless* slow-loading charts, endless loops of error pages that go no where, help pages that are completely or all-but blank.... I could go on, but why?

It's a M-E-S-S. (Who built this crap anyway?)

Need to exclude a bunch of words? (Want to bid on 'English language lessons' perhaps but not 'free English language lessons', and need to exclude a couple of others?) The box you enter those phrases in is LITERALLY no bigger than the "

A text field that small is a barrel-of-monkey's of fun to go scrolling back and forth in to see what you've entered and haven't. Then you'll hit a string limit somewhere, and the form won't submit. You won't get a useful error; it... just... doesn't... work... anymore. (Did I enter something wrong? Or is the system broken? Let me... ummm... scroll... back... and try finding it.)

It is a DISASTER. It's so bad, I would guess that two entry-level developers whipped it out one weekend as a proof-of-concept, and it was mistakenly pushed live to the world as if it were an actual working production system.

I had *such, such* high hopes from Microsoft. I'd hoped that they'd actually throw some talent at the project in the hopes of someone FINALLY locking horns with Google. I mean I REAAAAALLY *wanted* to see MS make a great contender.

Pfft. Was I wrong. :-(

Microsoft AdCenter is laughable... just laughable!! And I have *tried* to suffer through the inexcusable design flaws just to push through and get the traffic. No more. I'm done with it. Back to being stuck with Google and Yahoo.

Thank goodness Google gets it and has a solid UI; and at least Yahoo!'s isn't horrible.

I am *not* exaggerating: MS could have done better outsourcing it to a couple of teams of meat cutters with zero HTML experience. At least then we'd expect it to be bad and be pleased when it wasn't. Intead it's just piles of fresh, heaping steaming dung. And those are the good parts.

I'm pretty sure that the news feed exists for the new share feature added the other week and it was just an incremental rollout. The value of the share feature is a lot higher when stories appear in the feed rather than having to look for them.

Thanks for writing this! I thought I was the only one having this problem. Although I came to the same solution of changing the key size, I wasn't sure if that was the best solution. But now I feel better already.
