I am nervous that this has 8 upvotes already with a shortened link...

I am sure this new option will help!

It started as an exercise to learn python (using the Flask micro-framework), but I have really fallen for the idea and love working on it.

I do like the idea of forcing a deadline upon you to get a blog post out (though this only works when you have something like a once-a-week post schedule). Just wondering if there is a better way to do this technique.

And very interested to try out normalize.css...

I guess my main point is that 3 million users might not be the best for a beta game. It might work in the end, but I think Minecraft might get bogged down with 3 million users making suggestions to a non-complete game.

My fear is this is because of the 3 million beta users and grand views of the masses.

You have to remember that this is still in beta. Does any 1 game really need 3 million beta testers?

I think you really start diluting comments that will help you advance the game and start caving to a mass of people looking for a complete game.

I am not sure why Flickr keeps getting compared to Facebook when talking about number of uploaded photos. I find Flickr user's restraint in what they upload (on top of the fact that uploads are limited unless you pay) really doesn't allow for this comparison to be made.

Wonder if adverstisers don't use this option?

Not sure how Dylan can say the below quote with absolute certainty...

    On July 15 2011 you turned off my entire Google account. You had absolutely no reason to do this, despite
    your automated message telling me your system "perceived a violation."

Did not give me the opportunity to review nor edit the email before sent. Be careful if you have business contacts as Facebook friends!

Is this just to increase artificial demand?

And in a world where we no longer have unlimited data plans on our phones; I am suprised people forget about the data used while uploading...

Updated: formatting and clairification.

I don't know if it is actually due to throttling or not, but Netflix is preceived at least to still be throttling me.

* They are the people who own common last names as URLs and sell josh@finnie.com for $35 a year too!

I am assuming this is where "old" browswers are redirected too, but it is obviously not installed properly.

Works fine on my Moto Droid.

Try and use the full URL (and not shortened URLs) when submitting so we do not get duplicates like this.

It is one of their "one-click" installations and I have been pretty happy with it for my limited use.

I would pay them directly $10 a month to access their sports and TV shows. Can't be doing better through the cable contracts...

If B&N is calculating "Shipping + Tax" while Amazon is just calculating "Shipping" there will be a slight difference in price. And why not go with the cheapest?

Love the idea of free and open photo sharing though! Best of luck!

I have always felt that I have been "faking it" when it comes to my skills as a programmer. Though, through the help of Google I have developed a few substainal programs. Even so, I have never had the confidence that I would be able to program as my job and have kept it as a hobby.

Reading this article has made me realize though that maybe I do have the required skillset to make it, but there will always be this doubt due to the fact that Google has made it so easy to look up questions I have. Who knows...
