MumbleMumbleCoffee: January 2008
http://snarkymumbles.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
MumbleMumbleCoffee .In which someone you might (or might not) know runs the risk of thinking his opinions might actually be worth a lot. This will make no sense unless you’ve read the following:. Compatibility and IE8 @IEBlog. Jeremy Keith: “Broken”. In Defense of Version Targeting. Microsoft’s Version Targeting Proposal. If you know what all of these places are, care what they have to say, and haven’t read them, do so now. I’ll still be here when you come back. Who wins, who loses. Given Microsoft&rsquo...

MumbleMumbleCoffee .In which someone you might (or might not) know runs the risk of thinking his opinions might actually be worth a lot. After considering the source and its concomitant shrillness, there’s one conclusion that can be drawn from the whole prospect:. Corporate rights holders want to protect their business models at any cost. That's not a new conclusion, I know. From making tons of money off of ideas that are mine, and I’m okay with that. The realities of a level playing field. There are onl...

MumbleMumbleCoffee .In which someone you might (or might not) know runs the risk of thinking his opinions might actually be worth a lot. Metered residential bandwidth: wave of the future. Over at Gizmodo, they’ve got something to say about what they think might be a new trend in Internet service pricing. However, I see. At work, too: I get the itchy feeling that the ISP’s planning to meter their customers’ bandwidth usage offer video on a different service tier. How could it be? The last time I was near ...

MumbleMumbleCoffee .In which someone you might (or might not) know runs the risk of thinking his opinions might actually be worth a lot. Thence the Email Standards Project? Over the past 24 hours everybody and their first cousin seems to be talking about this e-mail thingy. Per the title. I'm going to read up on it in a bit, but…. It occurs to me that as a proverbial Neanderthal who still believes HTML has no place in e-mail, I find the whole idea to be a non-starter. Update, 45 minutes later:. Sup1; I l...

MumbleMumbleCoffee .In which someone you might (or might not) know runs the risk of thinking his opinions might actually be worth a lot. On the subject of hoarding. I just scanned through. A short film comprised of interviews (et cetera) with four hoarders conducted on film. The ultimate hell is that there is no truly effective treatment for OCD (the underlying illness) — only coping strategies. Argh. For those who might wonder: what about me?

MumbleMumbleCoffee .In which someone you might (or might not) know runs the risk of thinking his opinions might actually be worth a lot. Two worldviews for the price of one? It seems that the likelihood of habitable extraterrestrial planets just took a big leap. But before you Sci-Fi Nerds Throw a Party…. To sum up the numbers.

MumbleMumbleCoffee .In which someone you might (or might not) know runs the risk of thinking his opinions might actually be worth a lot. Another memorial to EGG. One E Gary Gygax, the principal contributor to the early form of the Dungeons and Dragons games, passed on yesterday. Lessons learned from D&D: a list. There are lots of different ways to believe, and most of them are silly. Better to deal with it sooner than later. Seriously. Get your hands on a copy of. Work smarter, not harder. It took a long...

MumbleMumbleCoffee .In which someone you might (or might not) know runs the risk of thinking his opinions might actually be worth a lot. Gun rights, abortion, and frustration with Congress? Science fiction novelist and freelance writer extraordinaire John Scalzi. Article about the political culture in the county where he lives. I’m going on this one anecdotally, since a call to the NRA Institute for Legislative Action rang off the hook. So much for intellectual honesty. After I was born and until my pare...
