So far, I've only seen them at the top of Comments sections, called out in the "My Disqus" tab. Last night, at least, the linking was broken, so you'd have to scroll through all the comments to find yours manually.

Bad like this:

So, JNCO jeans in the '90s? I always suspected time was broken.

Because if they didn't have deadlines, most products/update/redesigns would never be released at all. Few institutions have the discipline and wisdom to know when to stop fiddling and push it out.

But if people have complained about every redesign, does that really suggest the best website experience is… I don't know, dialing into a Usenet BBS on our home phone line and hoping our sister doesn't want to call her boyfriend and tie up the phone line?

The way to check would be to pull up some old mirrors of sites or even screen caps to see if it's nostalgia or if our lives were really better when every Facebook status was in the form of "David is X."

My scrolling has occasionally been yanked up and down reading these comments, but other than that, I've seen no problems on Safari.

Devil's advocate: Can anyone point to a moment in computer history when a from-scratch user interface redesign (website or OS) was greeted positively?

I imagine website designers have done research on this. Anecdotally, I remember for a couple years, Facebook was super-transparent about their redesigns, showing in-progress screenshots and soliciting comments, and it had no effect I could see on post-change shock and teeth-gnashing. Now they just vomit out whatever

I don't mind most of the Earth episodes (and it's a good thing, too), but "Rose" and its spiritual successors were less British X-Files and more, I don't know, sit-coms without the comedy (and with some aliens), until the Doctor blessedly came in to inject some personality into the show.

I first saw Doctor Who when it started on the U.S. Sci-Fi Channel, where "Rose" and "The End of the World" were presented as a double-bill. I'm not sure I would've stuck with it just with "Rose." All the earthbound stuff was a bit boring, which was a recurring problem with Companion (and Doctor) intros through RTD's

I'm not sure how much of that would've happened. The stuff about remaking episodes and having the Doctor and Master be brothers was from early development documents when they were considering doing a remake rather than a continuation. I think most of that was thrown out at an early stage.

I think it helped ground the episode in the context of the show by using the main actors to play the characters in Benny's story. The other modern Trek shows all had this type of episode, (The Inner Light, 11:59, and Carbon Creek), but none of them used more than one of their actors. Plus, it gives you instant

Sisko couldn't say that. Picard already did in "Ship in a Bottle."

Not bad. A bit plain, by sandwich shop standards. It's pretty much what you'd get if you bought a loaf of french bread and whatever is in the one you order from the grocery and put it together yourself, without any of that restaurant je ne said quoi taste. And if you like mayo, you better really like mayo, because

I think their schtick is more about their frightening speed. I've ordered in-person and the sandwich was done before I was finished paying.

I was profoundly disappointed that their album wasn't nearly as dubsteppy as the set they played when I saw them as part of the tour. I was actually giddy when they first got into the really wub-wub bits at the sound of EDM-style sound coming out of drums and brass.

Let's play it out a bit more. Happy Marty does go back in time at the end of the movie. He's similar, but not identical to, Miserable Marty, so it stands to reason that he'd have a similar, but not identical adventure in 1955. Maybe Happy Marty still plays Chuck Berry and talks to Goldie Wilson about being Mayor, but
