Man, the server is full.

Thank Valve for auto-retry on the servers though. Saves me a lot of clicking.

I just wanted to say thanks to JDHarper for keeping me on my (burnt) toes last night.

Bwa-ha-ha!

Glad to. Hopefully I'm getting better at this game. I usually avoid FPS games, and I just got this one a couple weeks ago.

Sweet! I had just written a blog post about my desk to show off my new laptop stand.

Basically, I can connect my tablet PC and my desktop so I'm only using the one mouse and keyboard for both. I'm pleased with it.

Well, I guess I won't buy that hat after all.

you're sure a 23-year-old guy in a fedora would look silly?

I came in here to tell Unicorn on the cob that she has the most awesome username I've ever seen.

And then I found the funniest comment I've seen in a long, long time.

Best of the Web, indeed.

Eh. It happened to hit just the right "jokes for nerds" button.

Two different religions doing two different ridiculous things. Ergo, two different posts.

OK. I was thinking about it, and it didn't seem to fit into MetaChat, and since it just got deleted out of AskMe, it obviously didn't go there. Thanks.

Sorry, meant MetaTalk, yes.

Your best bet is to use the new Opera browser that just came out for the Blackberry. I use it all the time, and I can't stand to look at the standard Blackberry browser most of the time. It's at http://www.operamini.com/

* Note--I haven't actually tried Metafilter in Opera mini yet.

@Rock Steady: Thank you! I've been looking for the right analogy for Twitter, and now I have it.

I'm also glad that I'm not the only person on the internet who doesn't understand the appeal of Twitter. It's just a badly implemented chat room.

I really, really hope that you don't remove the count of favorites that each comment has gotten. Many times I find myself searching for the word "favorite" to skip through a thread and find the most interesting comments. That's a really valuable feature to me.

I think I like Rhomboid's solution here: Remove the totals from user profiles, but keep the favorites as-is on the comment threads. It eliminates the "my favorite count is bigger than yours"... [more]
