No Pepsi blue?
Raise your hand if you have iTunes ...
Raise your hand if you have a FireWire port ...
Raise your hand if you have both ...
Raise your hand if you have $400 to spend on a cute Apple device ...
There is Apple's market. Pretty slim, eh? I don't see many sales in the future of iPod.

We need to talk about this...
I cannot believe we're on our third thread about this whole incident. Maybe it's time for a separate blog about all this stuff? Because I have no idea why MetaFilter is becoming the internet's one-stop-shop for all things Givewell.
Seriously, "we need to talk about this"? Not really.
And I like all of the people still fired up about all this, but, guys, give it a rest already.

Matt: I've banned and given timeouts to users that go to other sites and start turf wars with other sites and this one. I don't remember the last person that did it specifically, but I do recall I saw a lame turf-war type of thing start and told everyone in a metatalk thread to lay off links to that site and don't go over there and post troll comments trying to incite them against us, and someone went ahead and did that and got banned from here.

WTF, quonsar?
Googly, you are out of line, and the sad thing is you will probably never figure out why.
I know I'm late, but this was just the most condescending, unwarranted, misguided, cool-kids-in-the-back-of-the-bus bullshit I've read on MeTa in at least a month. And even though I never really appreciated the whole quonsar schtick, I'm pretty sure he would not approve of calling someone "out of line" for criticizing him. His whole deal, as far as I... [more]

And, lest there be any doubt, of course he's coming back.
What is this, like his fifth departure? That must be part of the whole "jester" thing.

They say that Josh Marshall started blogging in 2000, which is wrong.

I always read "FTW" as "Fuck the What!" Which, really, would be a great catch-phrase.

Flamewars may cause burning sensation; consult your doctor.
I'm having trouble coming up with a legal theory that someone would use to sue the site for "bad advice." It would be one thing if the site or particular users were holding themselves out as experts in particular areas, but I don't see people doing that on the site (usually, it's the opposite: people take pains to explain the limits of their advice; IANYL, etc.) I think a plaintiff would be hard pressed to explain in a complaint how they ended up relying on the free advice of...

Well, you could hit people with a disclaimer when they sign up and agree to the Metafilter Network TOS.

Crouton - is your flickr account new? I think they do something to verify new acccounts before making the photos searchable by the public.

My Post Wishlist
I have this vague recollection of someone posting a 1-pixel image in a thread or a link once in order to track traffic. The result was a total freakout, IIRC.

I met R.L. Stein in Mexico. He is a real guy -- kinda nebbishy, in his early 50s I would say, and very friendly.

I have every confidence in Bevedog that he doesn't just leave ignitors and rocket engines laying around the house. Is that what your dad did?
Um, yes, which is why I said something here. Jeez.
