She was one of the biggest proponents (maybe the originator?) of the 'eyeballs' valuations of internet companies.

I believe their success lies more in the social aspects of the app. Looking at pictures from people you follow has less friction than on Twitter or Facebook. Also, the domain-specific nature of the network has its own appeal.

There are already quite a few nails in that coffin, unfortunately.

That's still waaay too much for a 140 character message and a thumbnail of the author, plus possible custom css.

If you run the Visual Studio x64 tools command prompt from the start menu, it will set up the environment to have the 64-bit toolchain in your path.

Sorry, I didn't read your entire comment. The 64-bit linker can produce 32-bit code with /MACHINE:X86.

I've never had to deal with framework version problems, as our software is for internal use only, but I can imagine figuring out what to target would be painful. You don't need to have a separate designer to take advantage of XAML, I've wri

The %VSROOT%\VC\bin\amd64 is indeed a native x64 binary.

It's an optional install package when you install Visual Studio.

I'm writing an AppEngine app in Go right now. It uses the same datastore as Python and Java, as well as OAuth and JavaScript Channels. Iterating with the development server is a pleasure, since it compiles everything in the background as yo

While I think it's a shame that .NET is so Microsoft-centric, I see no evidence for it "tottering on the edge of oblivion." Can you elaborate?

There's a 64-bit version of the MSVC toolchain and MSBuild, so if you build outside of Visual Studio you won't be so constrained. This is how we do our builds here at work (a mix of C# and C++). We still edit code in VS, but local builds an

I was using the laptop of a friend recently. He had only Internet Explorer, and when I ran it about 1/3 of the browser window was taken up by toolbar on top of toolbar. Google, Yahoo, Bing, basically anybody that made a toolbar. I asked him

Is it still like 12MB? EDIT: Looks like it's much smaller now, about 7.5MB.

Philadelphia recently installed credit-card meters, and they're terrible. They almost always refuse to scan either of my two cards correctly, a problem I never have with any other card scanners. I don't know if it's because they're exposed

I realize that. The problem is that they block things by URL in whatever web proxy they use, and if content for Google Reader is coming from a blocked url, it's not going to work for me anymore. It works both ways; I can actually send mail

I'm mostly upset that Google Reader will now be blocked at work, because the IT dept blocks all social network sites.

The single biggest subsidy for homeownership in the US is the mortgage interest tax deduction, where you can deduct interest payments on the first $1,000,000 of debt on your first or second home.

I think there's a large difference between political and business surveillance. The Stasi were used to monitor and control political thought, whereas Facebook just wants to make money off of me. What scares me is that a malevolent governmen

I use mine occasionally while browsing, to select links that my fingers are too fat to resolve correctly.

It does show a glaring change in Boston's climate. If you read the page carefully, nowhere does the author say anything about global climate.

Given how poorly the USPTO has performed thus far, it seems impossible that this could be correctly implemented. Better to err on the side of openness, and abolish them altogether.

Try adding --disable-internal-flash to your chrome shortcut, it'll use regular flash instead of the sandboxed version.

Yes. But the equipment on the back is radiating heat (roughly speaking) in every direction, as I understand it, so absent a reflector, the equipment would have a net zero effect on thrust. But because some of the heat is being reflected, it

It seems like a waste of bandwidth for it to have downloaded a 12MB (roughly) update just to change the version info. Are there any plans to implement a Chrome-like binary diffing update system, now that Mozilla is moving to more frequent r
