• Commented on Xeni on Rachel Maddow Show: John McCain vs. the Internet
  Another good analogy might be if phone companies could regulate our calls in a similar fashion. For example, people or businesses that you call that are aligned with AT&T's political agendas, or pay for AT&T services, might get better reception...

• Commented on People Like Angry Car Faces. I Don't.
  hahaha, a determined frog. Here's one of my most favorite cars, if not number one: the 1938 Phantom Corsair http://www.shorey.net/Auto/Miscellaneous%20Pictures/Phantom/1938%20Phantom%20Corsair-fVr=mx=.jpg What's interesting about it is the whole car becomes the head/face... not just the grill. The eyes are the windshields,...

• Commented on Hit by a Rock from Outer Space?
  When I first heard this story I thought he got hit by the shock wave of the meteorite. After I read that he got a scar, it seemed like he was hit by a piece from the crater. However now,...
• Commented on Cornell says no to restrictions on public domain materials
  What this move is mainly referring to are the limits that Google imposes on the libraries/books that it offers to copy for "free". These contracts limit the scope of availability of these scanned books, mainly to exclusive use within the...

• Commented on Citizen journalists versus US Airways 1549
  It was kind of amazing. I was at work in the break room, eating lunch and watching CNN. And low and behold Mark Frauenfelder is being interviewed about the rumors surrounding Steve Jobs. That totally got my attention and I...
• Commented on Tetris ice cube trays
  They must have used countless man hours trying to make it all fit perfectly without the little squares, before giving up with their compromise. Maybe it can be done with one more or one less line? if one of us...

• Commented on Amy Walker's "21 Accents" video
  absolutely wonderful... i love the shift in time to the transatlantic. I must say though, growing up in Texas, she didnt get it right, I think she was replicating more of a South Carolina/Georgia/Mississippi kind of general southern Bell kind...
• Commented on Monocycle is the chariot of choice for the 21st Century Man
  Now, I think these instruments are incredibly cool, however I've heard they are also extremely difficult, akin to riding a unicycle. I've seen some with training wheels, that may be key at least for learning how to do it. now,...
• Commented on Crave reviews MSI Turbobook GX600 (Verdict: Ugly, underpowered... but it has a turbo button!)
  the elevator door close button will often save you a couple seconds of precious time, which is what you need when trying to escape from the zombies on the 5th floor....
• Commented on Space Invaders cutting board
  The board is missing the much needed 'trench', or 'moat', to catch all the little scraps and liquids. This is a vitality for me, maybe not for everyone. I use a Rogar, they are rather nice boards, and thick. http://www.rogar.com/rogarchoppingboa.html...
• Commented on Tipping-point skeptic says that super-Influencers are overrated
  This model sort of mirrors the voting system at www.electricsheep.org Animated fractal processes, "sheep", get downloaded into the computer client's screen saver program after they become rendered by the masses and assembled on the host server. Their life and breeding...
• Commented on Facebook will sink under the weight of socially obligated "friendships"
  I had always wondered why myspace didnt notify you when someone removed themselves from your friends list, and tell you who they were. Now I think it seems like a pretty good feature, to just sort of slip away from...
• Commented on Slovenia's mystic president
  neven, there's more to the world than political responsibility. To beat cancer you have to really get away from all that stuff anyway. He's in a position that is (rightfully so) focusing on healing himself....
• Commented on Do Not Open: An Encyclopedia of the World's Best Kept Secrets
  #8 sounds pretty possible. It's obvious they either left with the escape pod and navigation equipment, or were made to look like they were. Probably left with other supplies too. If they did leave on their own, they drifted out...
• Commented on Damning Video: Verizon Reps Misquote Rates 93% of the Time
  i saw a 2 and 1.5 quite frequently, which makes me think they often just had the wrong or outdated information in front of them, so probably not all of these calls were the fault of the phone support tech...
