“Attacking client-side applications or browser plug-ins is increasingly becoming a means for distributing malware, rootkits and backdoors,” - Christopher Perry
yeah, way to read into it. killing the baby most likely never entered the equation. - Tony Kanzia
Or more acurately, Bristol's child has the right to live. - Trevor Carpenter
Regardless ... Bristol made the right choice ... good on her! - Christopher Perry
Just saw Palin's official response: "We're proud of Bristol's decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents". I'm not misunderstanding. That's *very* clear that there was a choice about *not* having the baby. Right to lifers are despicable hypocrites. - Russell Beattie
Am I supposed to care if he's had teh ghey sex? Does he care if I have? Sort of a mutual relationship there. I can't say the same for McCain. - Cyndy
You don't care but unfortunately, there are a significant number of closed-minded people in the world that do care. And there are a significant number that will believe this regardless of whether it's true or not. It's a dirty tactic that we're bound to see more of over the next few months. I'll be back shortly. I need to take a shower after watching that disgusting video. - ·[▪_▪]·
Personally I don't care what any of these politicians do sexually as long as it's with consenting adults. With that said @nicerobot is correct that in some places in America, it *does* matter. - TDavid
Explanation = Friend Feed aggregates several different social networks while ping.fm broadcasts across several different social networks = in that way they compliment each other - Christopher Perry
I'm quite flattered, thank you though :) - Mona N.
Depends. If you like the person who's following you, it's not stalking. If you don't, it's stalking. It's a Western European/American thing. I'm sure other cultures have this issue as well. - Helen Sventitsky
eh.. Yuvi, yes it does. The FBI can issue a warrant for your arrest in India Stalking means that you are on sick bastard in the head and are obessed by some1 and theyby could cause mental and physical harm to the said person. Having said that - So do you want to go to college or not - or do I need to get the Chennai cops to come and kick your butt ?? -Behave :)- - Peter Dawson
Yes I agree with Yuvi.I want call mona "miss FriendFeed". - DSaad69
Yuvi, you could have said, "Admiring Mona from a close proximity...with a plate of bacon" :) - imabonehead
Akiva do not get your panties in a knot! "Stalking" is Cyber talk! If you Stalk someone for real then you are in trouble! But we Geeks use Stalking = Following! So please learn Cyber culture! - Igor The Troll
this is classic culture clash in terms of verbiage. if Yuvi used the same thing back home, it really meant that he admires some1 and has a crush on her .. at least that's what it used to mean to us guys in college -circa '81-82 !! - Peter Dawson
Yuvi being politically correct is not fun! You want to be a Geek or a politician? Your choice! - Igor The Troll
Yuvi actually do you want to be a Leader or a Follower? - Igor The Troll
Igor, you missed the joke but that's all right. - Akiva Moskovitz
Just another way Americans get all heated by the simplest use of the English language (not directed at anyone here) - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★
Ok! Akiva, polish your sense of humor or you will be Rodney Dangerfield "I get No Respect!" lol - Igor The Troll
Akiva, ok! My bad, I got the pun! LMAO! Only in America "You get no Respect!" LMAO Use to be ok, but today they got lost in the Matrix! - Igor The Troll
“How would you feel if you found out you shared your name with someone who does *ahem* adult films? How would you feel if someone thought you were the same person? There's a woman who does adult films named Candace Holly.”
Some nurse that was taking my blood thought I was a stripper named "Sexual Chocolate." I thought she was gonna try to eat me or something. I guess it's different for guys, though :) - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★
Well, I guess you would probably feel pretty good considering she mistook you because of how you look (and most the male strippers I have seen are in pretty good shape). At least your name isn't Sexual Chocolate >.< - Candace Holly
nice pick of name funny couldn't have figured that out on google b4 you chose the name? I know what i would do since everything is a money making venture just depends on morals mostly LOL - Cecil Sandus
@Cecil..Considering this is my name...I didn't really Google it. @Mona - I've got an idea right? I get ahold of this chick and we capitalize on it! Make people think the same person is also a geeky podcaster and split the profits! - Candace Holly
better yet sell the domain name and offer her PR - Cecil Sandus
You are not alone ... "Molly Wood" ( Buzz Out Loud) and "Cindy Brown" (a close friend) are in the same boat - Christopher Perry
via twhirl
@Christopher - I'm telling you..there's something to say for this. If the two people who share the name can get something going...it could benefit both! (Of course I'm kidding but the idea itself is funny) - Candace Holly
Candance, the root question is -if you were mistaken for a Adult entertainer, would you be offended and how do you take it ? The rest is secondary !! - Peter Dawson
Well lucky it was only a mistake based on name only..thinking that woman may be doing a podcast and VA (o.0). I just laughed and said that it was not the same person. Then, I laughed again. - Candace Holly
You could offer to be her community manager, Candace. Successful female porn stars tend to be loaded, from what I hear! - Phil Glockner
no one in porn shares my name that i know of, but i usually try to stay away from women named brianna and nikki - Cee Bee
@J. Phil....You didn't just go there. *headdesk* Dude I'm cracking up. - Candace Holly
LOL Candace. I LOVED the name Asia for a little girl. Was nixed specifically because we knew of the pr0n actress. - Cyndy
@Cyndy - I actually really like the name Asia but it makes me think of Jem and the Holograms. I do know when I was a baby my Mom about tore someone's eyes out if they tried to call me "Candy" because there was a porn star who was well-known then with the same name. - Candace Holly
There's a whole thing here about my girlfriend being a porn star. *innocent whistling* - Bradley McSpinn
That name was taken, Mona. I checked. - Chris Baskind
I can't find the prOn star Candace Holly :( - Adam Turetzky
Apparently she's not even a "star" per se...I can find her on Google if I check my name. Obviously I won't be giving out links but she's done some "amateur" videos and some other stuff. - Candace Holly
It's probably one of your trillion "what was i thinking i registered for it drunk" domains HA - Mona N.
Whaaat? o.0 I umm..I don't drink and, I only own three domain names. One being candaceholly.com but I knew I was doing that. - Candace Holly
last time I looked it is really interesting, but the music library was fairly limited. - Rob Diana
Just gave it another go, saw a while back and had forgotten it. It seems to think that dark energetic electro = Moby (3 different tracks were played) so had to pull the plug as I really can't stand Moby! (and he's neither dark, energetic nor electro) - Dave Pook
@ Dave, well, he's had his "dark" moments, can remember hearing this in a club for the first time (at punishing volume) and it scared the crap out of me! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... - Iain Baker
Yeah guess your right he did have a dark moment there, sounds like Dutch gabba more than Moby :) - Dave Pook
Igor, please don't post irrelevant links on my posts =\ - Mona N.
...and Maid Cafes are a disgrace to my race. That sub culture is creepy - Mona N.
Dubai is going to be a big draw... all great beauty comes out of great corruption... renaissance Italy is no exception. we still should keep after them for the cultural tyranny that is against free expression. beautiful though and so is the maid cafe Igor. Also Mona N. you are kind of hot... what is the corruption behind you? Igor is irrelevant here... but I can weave it right back into the conversation. the beauty of friends is we allow that. - Ⓝ〄ⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂ〄Ⓝ
Noah I think for Mona being she grew up as a Japanese American it is a bit hard to deal with some of the Japanese culture! We all have prejudices against certain behavior! I can rant about Russia even though I only lived there for 9 years as a young boy! Mona Japanese culture is every where! I would not be surprised if you will see some Maid Cafes in USA! - Igor The Troll
Oh and sorry for the link, but I figured people around you are interested in Japanese culture whatever the shades or colors of it are! Let's show different aspects of what Japan is! - Igor The Troll
er... um I disagree Igor. love ya buddy... but the mere fact we are talking about it means we are putting the gears on to import it. still ur right in saying the difference is huge between the variable-american and the variable. I think Israelis are a total different people from me, but I still back their asses up because they are family. er back to dubai. nice looking waterfalls. you should see the ones in NY - Ⓝ〄ⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂ〄Ⓝ
Noah: We'll see re: Dubai. But from what I'm reading, it seems as tho many have lost as opposed to gained. As for the irrelevant link thing, I'll address Igor myself :) And thank you for the compliment ;) - Mona N.
Igor: 1. I do not see any reason for that link to be presented in this Dubai thread. The only thing I can think of is shameless self promotion. Diverse conversations with digressive tendencies are indeed great but let's be honest with ourselves. Was that link to the maid cafe video posted on your blog really appropriate for this thread? Honestly, not once did anyone bring up Japan... Maid cafes and Dubai correlate as much as apples and like... gorillas. Yes gorillas, not even oranges. - Mona N.
2. You know nothing about me, my back ground, my family, and upbringing. Thus it's quite inappropriate to speak for me based upon what you think I am about, no? - Mona N.
btw, question 2 = rhetorical. meaning no answers/response needed. thank you and have a pleasant day :) - Mona N.
People amaze me every day. The same day that I went to work and did some things. This guys went and came up with that. Stunning, amazing, humans are truly an interesting bunch! - Jonathan Nguyen
@Mona Have you tried the "Moderate Comments" option to delete off-topic comments? It's under "More", option #3. P.S. Beautiful fountains! Look what I miss when I'm away from FriendFeed... - Mitchell Tsai
I don't think that Dubai is a real estate disaster at all!! It is total scifi. Envisioning utopia, they are creating a dystopia. It's life imitating art. - Clay Newton
dubai will be an art capital soon ... - Gregory Lent
And now...we see if FF will kill Twitter. Probably not but, I bet a lot of others will remove their Twitter feeds as well. - Candace Holly
Great. Now we can't hide your Twitter updates without also hiding your FF updates. There's a trade-off for everything! :-) - Josh Bancroft
I gotta get an invite /code to ping.fm. Anyone have any? Let me know at evanstj (at) gmail. - Tim
via Alert Thingy
@Tim - Tell them to use beta code "pingyoulater" so they can get in on the beta action! - Bradley McSpinn
Josh, I don't think you understand - I've completely removed my Twitter account link from here to keep from reposting the same stuff unnecessarily. This makes things better for everyone, not worse. Ping.fm is becoming an indispensable "native updates" tool. If you use both Twitter and FriendFeed, you need to use Ping.fm to post the same thing to both places (and then, potentially remove Twitter from FriendFeed). - l0ckergn0me
Can I ask sort of a dumb question as I try to to unify my online world? I can see how ping.fm will help me send the same message to various networks, but how are most of you then reading all the responses afterwards? Aren't we stuck having to go to six different networks to read all the various and separate responses? - Neil Kramer
I've been waiting for this as well. Awesome! - Joanmarie
Chris, I understand what ping.fm does, and what you're doing. Partly, I'm giving you a hard time. And partly, I'm making the argument that Twitter is just as good a "native updates" tool - a place to write - as ping.fm. This is why I love FriendFeed - I don't have to care, and be on the same tool, to get updates. Let us know how it goes! - Josh Bancroft
Neil, I don't think that's a dumb question -- mainly because I've been asking it myself lately. :-) Maybe we need a reverse ping.fm to get all of those updates in one place. I've considered using friendfeed to make a bunch of "imaginary friends" to add their services, but that will take a long time. So.... I dunno.... It is an issue. - Joanmarie
Thanks! I just did the same. The other thing I just did was to remove Tumblr from Ping.fm -- I'm going to use Tumblr primarily for images, video and audio and put them and an occasional text post there directly. So far everything is making it across as I want it to Facebook too. I have the Ping.fm and Tumblr apps installed there. It was a bit wacko figuring out how to glue everything together correctly - and be able to do it from my iPhone. Swurl can have it all however it gets there. Now -- about WordPress :). - Jeff Evans
i had already removed twitter from ff - ping.fm rocks! - Dieter Schwarz
What web page or app (for OS X, Ubuntu, & Windoze) reads all I'm following on Twitter, FF and indenti.ca ? Facebook I can do direct. - Jeff Evans
Agree ... but haven't figured out a good SIMPLE way to reply to a "tweet" using ping.fm ... FF comments stay "in house" - Christopher Perry
Not bad reply tweet in friendfeed,twitter is also a social web service. - Chris Qie
Thank gawd someone finally sees the light - Steven Hodson
I'm trying the same thing, but now I have to browse my microblog sites (twitter, pownce, identi.ca) sites manually in order to see replies. Unless I take the time to bring in all my friends to FF. - Bill Bittner
My name is Bwana, and I approve this message - Bwana
I didn't add FriendFeed to Ping.FM, only Twitter. I guess it is the reverse situation, but works. - David Risley
I tried updating Friendfeed from Ping.fm using the @ff but it didn't work. - Steve Rubel
so just a sec, does that mean no more responding via friendfeed to twitter if everyone does this? We'd have to visit both sites no? - Zee.
No way. Thanks for the major education session. I just checked out Ping.fm for the first time and - this should be good. I wish I could give this a triple 'like'. - Sonciary Honnoll
I thought everybody likes FF cause you can interact with everything here. how do you interact with twitter from FF if your twitter is not incorporated? (that said, I am considering removing twitter from FF myself but for entirely different reasons.) - Sebastian Keil
Why? What's wrong with just importing Twitter? - Pat Hawks
I find myself not bothering with ping.fm (as cool as it is) simply because its write-only. - Hal Rottenberg
via twhirl
FriendFeed should work within Ping.fm again, but no word from FriendFeed as to what happened - and if it'll get blocked again. I don't know anybody at FriendFeed. - l0ckergn0me
fantastic tip! I just did the same! Done and done! - Jeff McCord
via twhirl
FF is working from Ping.fm at this time, but there is a disclaimer... - Robert
How are you guys getting your ping.fm stuff into FF at this point? - Robert
Well, finally a reason to use my ping.fm account. I'm going to give this a shot. :) - Dennis Jackson
Posting to FF via Ping.fm does not seem to be working after a couple tests. Sad. Must be the rate limit thing. Hope it comes back. - Dennis Jackson
That sucks... They changed there message and said they were working to bring it back... - Robert
friendfeed shares usually include something 'useful' whereas twitter is something to be filtered out more times than not. in removing your friend feed and replacing it by being posted 'directly' into the system you reduced the value of your ff shares. - Nicole Simon
"I was ready to purchase one of these LCD TVs (46XBR2) for my family for Christmas until I (luckily) browsed on this complaint thread. Wow, two thirds of respondents having "clouding" problems with no acknowledgment from Sony. It is not a question of if this issue is going to be big news, but when. I will not buy a Sony LCD until they acknowledge and fix this problem; I am currently considering other alternatives (e.g., Sharp, Samsung, etc.). Also, It would help greatly if the trade sites and magazines (e.g., Cnet & PC Mag) would look into and publicize this issue." - Christopher Perry
