Up way to early on move day. #YorkHereICome
@mcelhearn Start spreading the s. I’m leaving today. I’ll make a brand start of it in old York. #SongsEditedForKirk

@jsnell @GlennF @meharris Video game consoles can’t even do proper 1080p yet, and many Blu-Ray transfers look terrible. 4K is a joke.
- Josh Centers:
@GlennF @jsnell @meharris I hope the physical disc dies by then. But Ultraviolet is not a good sign.
@GlennF @jcenters @jsnell @meharris I can’t see that brand without thinking of the Milla Jovavich movie (whose name I just looked up).
- Josh Centers:
@jeffporten @GlennF @jsnell @meharris Haha, me too. I come from a world you may not understand.
- Ryan Kelly:
Stumbled upon “Under Fire” w/Nolte + Hackman the other day. Had never heard of it but was amazing. Felt real by not trying too hard.
@ryankelly That was actually shown in one of my Penn classes. Thought it was amazing. (Also the reason why I saw “A Man Called Horse.”)
- Rob Griffiths:
So Mtn Lion removes the Web Sharing entry (stop/start Apache) from the Sharing System Prefs panel. Remote Apple Events stays, though? #Dumb
@rgriff I think Apache now defaults to “on”, on the theory that nontechnical users don’t care whether there’s a live server w/no pages.
- Rob Griffiths:
@jeffporten it didn’t on my newly-upgraded system—it was definitely off.
@rgriff yeah, meant to add: if you upgrade, it retains the prior setting.
- Rob Griffiths:
@jeffporten Figures I upgrade while I had it disabled for some other projects :)
- Glenn Fleishman:
Help, @wynkenhimself: Why is “Poor Richard, an Almanack” universally referred to as “Poor Richard’s Almanack”? Ben (age 8) wants to know.
@GlennF @wynkenhimself Not 100% sure, but I think Ben himself referred to it as Poor Richard’s in his Autobiography.
- David Chartier:
Is there a comic book about the industry that has to test and make all the spandex for superheroes? Seems like that should be a thing.
@chartier If it’s not a comic book, it certainly should be a softcore porn flick.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@Angry_Drunk You left out the ¨ dude
- Darby Lines:
@GlennF for the record, the current special at my pub comes with a “wasabi ‘aeoli'”.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@Angry_Drunk But aïoli is the Provençal spelling, I think. The ï is the letter. It’s not aeoli.
- Darby Lines:
@GlennF the real crime against humanity is; it’s actually just mayonnaise.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@Angry_Drunk That is the greatest punchline.
@GlennF @angry_drunk Sounds to me that the greatest punchline would be Mïraçlé Whïp.
- Dave Pell:
Jewish men are better lovers because they absolutely cannot get over the shocking fact that sex is actually happening.
- Patrick Matthews:
Make that 6. But, ouch! RT @nacin: Girl at bar to @williampd: “You have a BlackBerry? You’re like one of the last five people in the world.”
@matthews_p Especially bad if delivered to someone wearing a Members Only jacket.
@jsnell @harrymccracken @jperlow I don’t disagree, but I’ve been burned too often to set a number on the timeline.
- Jason Snell:
@jeffporten @harrymccracken @jperlow I hate setting numbers too, but when I look at 4K I have a hard time seeing rapid consumer update.
- Jason Perlow:
@jsnell @jeffporten @harrymccracken just in case you are paying attention, 45MB x 250,000 / 1024 = 11 Terabytes for a 2.5 hour 4K film
@jperlow @jsnell @harrymccracken But longer content could dl-in-advance (at first), where the issue isn’t bandwidth but monthly data caps.
- Jason Perlow:
@jeffporten @jsnell @harrymccracken You’re still talking multiple terabytes per film.
@GlennF @wynkenhimself Unsurprisingly, he was talking about his steady annual sales, and how that gave him the freedom to do other things.

My Twitter friends are discussing how their kids don’t finish desserts. Meanwhile, it will take 3 guards to drag me from this cake table.
- Brett Kelly:
I need a Mac app to create a podcast (create XML, upload media, etc.). Podcast Maker is out of date. What?s your favorite?
- Josh Centers:
@inkedmn At @TidBITS, we use a Doug Adams AppleScript called PodBOT to handle all of that. :-)
@jcenters @inkedmn Best thing about Doug Adams’ AppleScripts is how they wrap the whole thing in a Somebody Else’s Problem field.
- Rich Siegel:
Unreproducible bug has been reproduced and squashed flat. /flex KNEEL BEFORE ZOD
@siegel You forced it to mate before dying? What kind of bug was it, a mantis?
- Rich Siegel:
@jeffporten I said “reproduced”, not “duplicated”. I’m not *completely* heartless. :-)
- Greg Knauss:
@jsnell @glennf _I_ heard that Glenn is Marco fifteen years from now, travelled back to correct the devastation the Magazine will wreak.
@gknauss @jsnell Listen, @GlennF can’t be bargained with, can’t be reasoned with, doesn’t feel pity, and will not stop until you are read.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jeffporten @gknauss @jsnell I will not be numbered, filed, collated…
@GlennF Seems to me a rational policy would draw line at @fakedansavage Campfire Rules, and beyond that, it’s just age of consent.
- Christopher Soghoian:
“If the news reports are true about my employer sharing data on all customers with the NSA, I’ll quit” said no Verizon/AT&T executive, ever.
@GlennF I agree that gut says “draw a line”. But gut should be corrected by brain when we’re criminalizing so many teens.
