DISQUS

Whew. There's a long, long way to go.

I see that typonese is the official language of 2020 ;)

Interesting. I know that one as the "MBA Mistake", going back to a seminar where the keynote speaker was addressing future graduates and telling them "Other qualifications make you fit for a single industry. An MBA makes you a master of *every* industry, able to fill any management position competently and well."

I, and some others, at the time felt that was something of an error in observation. In the decades that followed, I certainly encountered enough people who believed it, though.

Links for notecards, huh? That would definitely have changed the complexion of it, IMO.

Well, it's the technorati ranking algorithm, so it isn't actually 'most read' so much as it is 'most linked within the last X days'. Not quite the same thing.

The Lab already had an authentication module that plugged into Wordpress. I don't know why they didn't use that.

It's the norm in many roleplaying virtual environments for 'feature characters' (well known, influential, historic figures) to be played by a succession of users.

Actually applying for such a role requires considerable research, interviews with users whose characters have had close, frequent or important interactions with them, and oftentimes auditions.

When all goes well - and frequently it does, there is little discernible difference between the personas, although there may be minor quirks in someone's wrist (the way they type, phraseological quirks, and so on).

Feature characters often outlive their original player by many years, as successions of players retire from the role and new players take up the role in their place.
