Judging by the gossip I heard while at AOL, he surely isn't the only person using AOL's offices and food without contributing to AOL, but he's the only one who isn't actually employed by AOL.

As an Automattician: yes to all of the above. Also, I get to work with really smart people that are driven to improve themselves, their co-workers, and the company's products. That's the #1 reason for the low turnover.

Thunderbird 11 is much better than Thunderbird 3.x was at handling a GMail backup. I've just finished backing up ~120,000 messages using Thunderbird 11 (archiving them into monthly folders about once an hour during the backup), and it's do

That's neat. I agree with the other commenters that local officials should be shown first. FWIW, it looks like you haven't yet taken into account Minnesota's recent redistricting. My representative is shown as John Kline instead of Erik Pau

Every time you make a new post, you invalidate all thousand (ten thousand? 100k? million?) older pages. It's absolutely moronic. Google has no chance of keeping up. You make one new post and Google has to re-index thousands of pages. You

With Flickr, I get unlimited storage for $24/year. I'm probably nearing 100GB of photos there, so in order to store those same photos with Snapjoy, it would cost me $120/year. What's the extra value that I get for an additional $100/year?
