It started as a GreaseMonkey script, why can't that particular functionality be open sourced? The few times a month I'm forced to go on Facebook I make sure my Social Fixer is up to date, especially since I want to be signed out of chat automatically. Having all the games and apps on a separate tab is nice too. - HEX

I was going to mod it up until I saw the Hot Grits/GNAA crap, which I guess will come back around to being funny again some day... Most likely after Slashdot implements their new design that will finally stop me from coming here.

Just watched this which includes the latest findings on Einstein's brain, and was struck by how bad NOVA has become. It used to be a fairly hard science show but this featured adolescent humor and cheesy cut scenes, such as the presenter and a scientist using binoculars to look at Princeton where the majority of his brain is stored. I can only hope this is not the norm for the current NOVA programming, as I was extremely disappointed. - HEX

Your patch is not helped by posting Anon, mentioning Hot Grits, etc.

Or you could... Go get a gamepad?

I didn't feel like digging my old one out of a box or going to the store to purchase one, all I wanted to do was qualify for the beta. This is a way to do that.

In order to get past the GamePad requirement if you don't have one:
install HeadSoft VJoy
open the Tray Icon
Enable vjoy checkbox top left
set Button #2 to a key on the keyboard (I set buttons 1 to 4 as numeric keys 1 to 4)
open Steam in Big Picture mode
navigate to library
hover over game with mouse
hit Button #2 to open game (Button A)
hover over play icon with mouse
hit Button #2 to open game (Button A)

So how will this revolution make sure that the writer gets paid? As Harlan Elison says, Pay the Writer! Don't get me wrong, I love writing and am not looking for top dollar for my own small efforts, but all I see is sites wanting free writing. I do it myself, but at least I don't have ad dollars coming in off the backs of the few people who contribute to my site.

Thanks this might be just what I need, I've been looking for a bounty/escrow for an I Can Haz Chat to IRC Bridge using their API.

"those same tv shows" AOL keywords, MySpace links, even Facebook links, were only on a small number of shows compared to the number using Twitter names and hashtags now. See my other comment above.

You both have a point for the start of it and the elections were one of the first to use it heavily, but now it's ubiquitous, like a utility. Twitter names and hashtags are the perfect shortening mnemonic. So it may not be Twitter in the future, but it will remain within that format especially since the entertainment industry now uses it everywhere.

Twitter has reached ubiquity, especially in the entertainment industry. TV Shows now include Twitter names and hashtags quite regularly as watermark bugs as well as the longer Facebook link during the credits. It's quite telling they put them up as bugs during the actual show with the network's logo bug, and even introduce people with a graphic with their name and Twitter ID, as well as special hashtags during the show. Twitter has beaten Facebook where it counts, in the minds of those who provide entertainment to the rest of us. - HEX

They weren't in habits very long in that movie.

I quit using Swedish SNUS which broke the oral fixation/habit of puffing on a smoke while providing the nicotine my body craved. I tapered off using Swedish SNUS within six months, and while I still have cravings occasionally I haven't started smoking again. Please note I didn't use the American versions of SNUS, I ordered real "Swedish" brands that are imported. - HEX

Sounds interesting, but not for my wiki style needs. Thanks for taking the time to respond in such depth. - HEX

GhettoTracker is still up and running, and I scrolled over to Detroit and see lots of colored circles. Additionally they are still tweeting about this situation. They took the site down and now it's back up.
