Re: OKCupid, I left the feature on. I find that it provides some valuable intel. Sometimes, I'll find an unlikely candidate checking my profile out suspiciously often. It sometimes goes somewhere, sometimes not.

Well-worth the hassle of the occasional false positive, in my mind.

I imagine there will be similar utility, at least for certain users, with the LinkedIn feature.

How about for headlines and URLs?

What plan is that, by the way?

I'm on the lowest Even More Plus with 500 minutes, unlimited text, unlimited data, and it runs me $60.

Wow. This combined with the 40K seed money offered by the Chilean government makes Chile more appealing than ever.

Great climate, government that appreciates the importance of free trade, similar time zone to the USA... I must just be sold!

Call me an elitist asshole, but I find your tone infuriating.

Clean it up. Learn some respect.

Call me crazy, but I think he's jumping to conclusions. There's no way Android grew that fast.

Check out this recent report from Nielsen: http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/online_mobile/iphone-vs-...

It stakes Android at 9%, iPhone at 28%, WinMo at 19%, RIM at 35%.

I can't imagine that Android has surged ahead so soon, doubly so since RIM's still leading in sales numbers.

Consider a tiling window manager if you're a Linux user. Doubly so if you're a console jock. I find it's a great way to cut down on mousing time.

I agree. Unless he's hungry to learn, it's a big leap and will distract him from the development process.

If you're looking for a hosted solution that's a step up from a bargain-bin, Dreamhost-like arrangement, consider something like Heroku or Google App Engine.

Linode for me.

Not the first launch at $60. Warcraft 3 was also like this. I imagine there are also other titles at the same price point.
