DISQUS

When you redo it, you should consider a serif font for the text blocks, because it makes it more easily readable.

It is awesome how far back their newly opened archives go. Somewhere (don't remember where :( ) I saw somebody linking to an 1850-or-so NYT article.

Apparently, "not calling" has just become an interpretable term.

Oh, nice! I'd have time but getting home from Paris in the middle of the night seems complicated ;) Three-hour train rides for the win!

Oh, isn't it fun to be an early adopter ;)

Hope it's nothing permanent, though.

Looks like Steve's reality distortion field has started to distort his own perception as well. The universe is probably going to implode soon.

Looks like when it comes to Firefox usage, Germany rules :)

I am just wondering, can adding zinc possibly make diet coke taste even worse? ;)

Nicely written. Keep in mind though, what you call the "wrong war" is clearly the "right war" from Microsoft's POV. I remember Redmond woeing when Google bought Doubleclick, because it may create an internet monopoly of sorts. But Microsoft doesn't mind monopolies per se -- it only minds the ones that are not theirs. So them trying to push people into yet another proprietary solution isn't so surprising after all.

Regarding spreadsheets on OSX, have you ever given Neooffice/J a shot? Okay, it's Java, but on my Intel Mac it runs very snappy. Much better than the X11 port of OpenOffice, of course ;)

The experience with NeoOffice can only be overcome by a native OpenOffice port.

So, did it help? I, for my part, usually just don't answer if I have to work and somebody tries to bother me with non-urgent stuff. Instant messages, despite their name, don't need instant repies, after all.
