    I am very angry about this. I was damned close to going live. My code was written. My backtesting showing amazing results. Now every douchenozzle on earth will be onboard the bandw…

    Only by introducing a delay where is none is needed. This makes things slower for the rest of us. 1 extra millisecond per user * 8 billion users * times 10 logins a day == Lots Of …

    You are a coder, aren't you? Let me restate it more precisely: The fact that my needs are not being met is their fault. The fact that I have those needs is mine. My use case, and t…

    I followed them back after they followed me, so in a way it's my fault... In another it isn't. The whole follow me, and I'll follow you thing is effective from a marketing point of…

    I don't know, but I've been describing twitter as a 'digital ghetto' for months now. If they don't put a stop to the spammers, and build some better tools to filter users they're g…

    TV listings and ratings data for the last 20 years. No idea what I'd do with it, but I'd find something to reference it against.
