I had no idea USV invested in Stack Overflow. I thought Joel was strictly against VC capital, and his arguments were dead on (dramatic difference in risk aversion). Besides, I was under impression that SO never really needed external cash... I wonder if they asked him "Why did you change your mind, Joel?" after they were done with their PP deck. That must have been awkward. :P
