iamjustlooking··on The Best Science Fiction Books (According to Reddit)
That's pretty clever then, what are they doing? Is it the _1-20 at the end?
iamjustlooking··on Twitters new and blazingly fast interface
Sometimes I feel like the only one who likes new twitter.
iamjustlooking··on The $700 Million Yogurt Startup
Too bad I missed out on that Chobani yoghurt deal Aisle50 recently ran. I wonder if writing an article like this was part of the deal to subsidize the price seeing as the co-founder of Aisle50 wrote this article.
iamjustlooking··on Poll: What's your favorite programming language?
Disclosure?
iamjustlooking··on AT&T Now Charging You an Extra $2/Month For Not Using Enough Long Distance
I have cable internet (Time Warner), I don't have a landline.

iamjustlooking··on Text Mate Fullscreen on Lion
I really wish lion didn't make your second monitor useless in full screen.
iamjustlooking··on Cdnjs - the missing cdn
Neat trick! Thanks!
iamjustlooking··on Cdnjs - the missing cdn
If you're loading the javascript on the same page you're surely going to see no benefit at all right?
iamjustlooking··on OnSwipe
If it's not for everyone can you please give people who it isn't for an option to opt out of viewing it.
iamjustlooking··on LinkedIn Prices IPO At $32 To $35 Per Share
Not sure of the exact number but you can see it on the charts here:

Edit:

Worked it out, GOOG was 154.29 and AMZN was 657.75

iamjustlooking··on Softlayer Cloud: An operations guy's rant about really bad service
SLA and support is for lawyers and PHB's or so I have been told right here on HN http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2488970
iamjustlooking··on Heroku's AWS outage post-mortem
I dont know about other peoples SLA's but seeing as you're hinging on my simplified description my SLA provides 100% uninterrupted transit to the Internet and 100% uninterrupted electricity so if the power goes out it is still 'their fault' but if I rm -rf / it is my fault.

I am not a lawyer or a PHB but I run a small business that has customers that pay for a service so if that service goes down I look bad and they are upset.

iamjustlooking··on Heroku's AWS outage post-mortem
The company where we host most of our servers has an SLA thats starts paying 10% monthly refund per 10 minutes of downtime that is their fault. I can't believe that you guys will take anything at this magnitude of downtime and still stick around.

Does Heroku even have an SLA? I can't find it. If they did maybe they would have been more proactive to prevent this kind of problem.

iamjustlooking··on Is 80-100k salary real? there's an app for that, a weekend project
I think he was asking why it is a phone app and not a more appropriate website format.
iamjustlooking··on JS/CSS Packaging to Minimize Requests and Randomly Evil Algorithms
Sorry, I read the part about packing and minifying javascript and it made me want to mention that.
iamjustlooking··on Dropbox Attempts To Kill Open Source Project
I assume strike one is this:

iamjustlooking··on JS/CSS Packaging to Minimize Requests and Randomly Evil Algorithms
I prefer to load resources like Jquery using googles CDN and then pack my own javascript separately. Using something like HeadJS you can load both items non-blocking and in parallel.

iamjustlooking··on Slipping away from the Perl community
There's another post about this from a few months ago, I guess he's been feeling this way for quite a while.

iamjustlooking··on Jedberg on Reddit's most recent outage
Jedberg last year stating that a startup buying physical machines today is foolish: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/a2zte/i_run_reddits_se...
iamjustlooking··on 31 days, 120,000 hits, and $462 in revenue. The Startup Foundry’s story.
Even if you were the same as Mixergy it wouldn't matter. There's plenty of room on the Internet!
iamjustlooking··on Wolfram Alpha API now free and open
At 2000 requests per month that is one request about every 20 minutes, laughable.
iamjustlooking··on DuckDuckGo Challenges Google on Privacy (With a Billboard in San Francisco)
Even if the site owner doesn't know that the referring url contained the search term "naked beiber pics" they still know you visited their page which most likely contains "naked beiber pics".
iamjustlooking··on How to Survive a Slashdotting on a Small Apache Server
Nginx also has good http caching built in. I use it in a heavy load scenario and haven't had a single problem.

iamjustlooking··on Best Website Designs of 2010
Have there been any good looking regular websites released this year? A lot of best of lists tend to just be a list of portfolio and design studio websites.
iamjustlooking··on RIP Things
OT: How did they change the color of highlighted text? I've never seen that effect before!

Edit:

Found it in case someone else was interested:

    /* Mozilla based browsers */
    ::-moz-selection{background-color:#e12000;color:#fff;}
    /* Works in Safari */
    ::selection{background-color:#e12000;color:#fff;}
iamjustlooking··on Twitter Raises $200 Million at $3.7 Billion Valuation; Adds New Board Members
I speculate that it must feel ok to keep hiring when you're using other peoples money to hire them.
iamjustlooking··on Make Facebook Angry, And They’ll Censor You Into Oblivion
I love that you can imagine the CTO running through the database blocking all mentions of lamebook in real time.
iamjustlooking··on Make Facebook Angry, And They’ll Censor You Into Oblivion
If you are committed to promoting free expression why do you have a feature on your site that can obliterate mentions of a certain phrase? Would you have noticed that you "inadvertently" blocked all mentions of lamebook if there wasn't any publicity about this blocking?
iamjustlooking··on New browser RockMelt oozes into beta
The on site video shows twitter and other sites. You're right though. I think I was more complaining about about site doing this facebook connect only thing.
