@NathanGreenstein ah, so it wasn't too geeky after all. Or John just liked the caffeinate command enough to post it...

I wonder what the fireball effect will be on the number of page reads

@Jin NICE!!!

@NathanGreenstein What are the stats now?

And could you get rid of all those horrible comments?? Spam...gotta love it grin

Please, would the following question (with a community wiki answer) be acceptable in Ask Different?

"What is the known membership of the ZFS Working Group?"

I began tentatively in Super User but it was politely closed there as off-topic. The question may be of current interest to Apple users, who are asking many questions (albeit not yet in stacks) following the transfer of ZEVO.

7:53 AM

@GrahamPerrin Wouldn't it be easier to ask the ZFS Working Group directly? The topic isn't really Apple related

8:05 AM

@daviesgeek Which ones? All the Trackbacks?

@JasonSalaz Some of them look ok

8:38 AM

@patrix A good question, but there's no address for the Group.

@GrahamPerrin Maybe mail him: mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/zfs-discuss/2011-May/048514.html

mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

heheh

Yep

Uh yeah. Scrolling in Chrome 21 has become better in Mountain Lion.

21 pffffft

Would anybody with a retina MBP mind to comment on scrolling in Chrome?

retina is the hard part

I'd love to comment, but I cannot.

The star in Chrome 21 looks really ugly.

@JasonSalaz The jump to a new version number really seems hard to justify this time, eh?

WebCam API, retina support and some security fixes. Is that all?

stuffe

Chrome Schmome ;)

@gentmatt I'm on the Dev Channel. The version numbers of Chrome has ALWAYS been irrelevant to me.

Q: How can one debug imagent issues?

10:48 AM

I have just upgraded to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and am attempting to use Facetime and iMessage. Upon entering my Apple ID into the respective applications and attempting to sign in, I receive the following error message: The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try ag...

@JasonSalaz I'd really like to edit the question, but I'm not sure how.

It asks about how to debug imagent. But I also want to put the error message "The server encountered an error processing registration." In the title.

I really need an answer of what's causing the message, but this question seems two sided. It asks "How can I debug this?" and "What's causing the problem?" at the same time.

11:04 AM

are those not both relevant?

They're not exactly two separate questions.

they either want to know what the problem is, or how to dive into the source of the problem.

and it's the same issue either way

Thing is, most people like me will google for "The server encountered an error processing registration."

When I encounter this problem, I do not search for "How can I debug XXX" even though that's interesting.

After all, it's a guess that imagent is related to the problem.

google.de/…

The question pops up only on the second page of the google search. Which is sad, because I just got this problem solved using the answer to the question.

11:25 AM

Ah, I see your point.

Unfortunately I'm a bit too tired to comment on this clearly enough.

I'll sleep on it and get back to you, assuming no one else does over the next few hours.
