Unlike DesertGirl I follow a lot of people on twitter ( probably too many :S ) so I rarely look back at previous tweets. As I'm on and off twitter during the day I miss a lot, so re-tweeting at different times of the day is more likely to catch me.

I prefer to see the exact same tweet, like you said Sean, I'll screen it out if I've seen it before, but might get suckered in if you re-worded it.

Got here via your last tweet, after checking twitter on returning from lunch.

atheists need to point out what harm religion causes.
highlighting how much religion costs, in dollar terms, to the average person is IMHO of significant importance.

... I" what? what happened?

Have the authorities been notified? If the attack costs you money, and in this case you could prove it does because you are being prevented from making ticket sales, then it is an illegal act which someone could be prosecuted for.

What is it with Evolution that scares so many religious people? These days evolution is accepted as a fact by the vast majority of the scientific community. Even many of the religions and their leaderships agree that evolution is a sound theory. Perhaps if the rest of the religious community (the American evangelicals seem the worst) accepted the fact of evolution, and spent their time concentrating on the 'why,' then there might be less conflict between science and religion?

Good luck in your new ventures, perhaps I'll catch up with you sometime In the Adelaide environs.

As the late Kerry Packer (Media mogul and Australia's richest man) once said:
I've been to the other side, and let me tell you son, there's f...ing nothing there.

You are an example of why free health care is a good thing, and it's great too see you made it through.

Great article, lots of useful tips.
Regards twitter clients, I have been using http://tweetvisor.com/ a browser interface which has a lot of similarities to tweetdeck. One of it's best features is the 'Show Conversation' function. If someone has replied to someone else you can click the 'Show Conversation' link and see all the replies, a very useful function to work out what someone is talking about.
The main reason I use Tweetvisor is because you don't have to install any programs (forbidden or prevented at some work places) you just open your browser of choice and go to http://tweetvisor.com/ . Seesmic also has a browser only interface http://seesmic.com/app/ which is quite good (though it doesn't have 'conversation' function or the inline twitpic preview) with an excellent search ability (something tweetvisor lacks a bit).

haven't read the whole article (it is rather long) but your conclusion is spot on, and it also applies to other forms of media such as music and movies. I'm quite sick and tired of hearing people complain about piracy especially when it comes from huge corporations or very wealthy artists.

Unless one is absolute Vegan (and even them I'm not 100% sure) then life on earth will always have to be violent, class system or not. No matter how humanely you do it, killing animals for food will always have a violent aspect to it. So IMHO that quote is very good and very accurate.
