• Commented on Chumby One: handsome successor to the cutest computer ever
  Yes, it's a touch screen. I did the round-2 beta of Chumbys (second batch of a few thousand made available) and I love it. Not only is it a touchscreen, it's haptic--you can shake it to activate certain widgets, move...
• Commented on Library workers fired for colluding to keep graphic novel from being checked out by 11-year old girl
  Hey Cratermoon--we hate radical Xtians because they spend their lives trying to legislate their own fucked-up version of morality into law. "Lord of the Flies" and "Flowers in the Attic" were REQUIRED READING at my JHS/HS. Looks like I know...
• Commented on Jim Muir benefit poster by Shepard Fairey and Glen E. Friedman
  Y'know, this is the third time in only 12 hours (!!!) that I've been solicited to give some kind of charity/buy a benefit item to help cover the medical bills of an injured artist or performer (the other two were...
• Commented on 100-word fiction competition — win an HP MediaSmart EX495
  “Oh, shit,” thought Jen, “the dog got into the compactor again.” The runny, stinking pile of digestive byproduct contained bits of chicken bone, various fruit and vegetable trimmings, shredded used panty liners, tissues, and other household detritus. Next to it...

• Commented on Samasource: How African refugees are scoring Silicon Valley Internet jobs
  Just when I thought that HelpDesk service couldn't get any worse, or be done at a lower rate......
• Commented on Bicycle defense kit fits in Altoids tin
  Tdawwg--great, then I hope you don't mind when the next pedestrian that you hit decides to cherry-pick various assault and property laws. Nice way to get PR for the bike riders, dude....
• Commented on Bicycle defense kit fits in Altoids tin
  What many others have said RE "where's my pedestrian defense kit?" I live in a neighborhood full of crappy drivers (cellphone-addict douchebags who take their 4x4s to buy groceries around the corner) and equally as obnoxious self-righteous hipster/yuppie assholes on...
• Commented on Cydwoq: handmade shoes designed by an LA architect
  Buncha things: --The website is just AWFUL. Links work sometimes, sometimes they don't; craptastic Flash all around. --They are made, and wear, like crap. I got one pair years ago at a little shoe boutique in Soho (NYC) after landing...
• Commented on Indiana prosecutor says she's duty bound to prosecute grandma who bought cold medicine
  BWC--nope, but thanks for playing. Both the "generic" (ie store-branded pills) and the "name brands" are behind the counter at pharmacies now. BTW, what everyone else said RE how much this law sucks if you have allergies or any other...
• Commented on Abortion clinic escort's blog
  Heh...And Gloria, thank you for pointing out what I forgot to--that Cog Diss thinks that everyone who wants or needs an abortion is some swinging-from-the-chandeliers hedonist. I take it that he's (and it's obvious that it's a he) has never...
• Commented on Abortion clinic escort's blog
  Cog Diss, I'm done with you. You're falling back on the old canard that a blastula is the same as a full-term infant. Next up: Cog Diss recommends mandatory pregnancy tests of all women every 28 days to make sure...
• Commented on Abortion clinic escort's blog
  CogDiss, Yeah, because everyone knows that 14-year-olds who get raped by relatives can just pop down to the corner store and get their PlanB. Intestinal bacteria lives in you and has its own DNA also, should we outlaw antibiotics also?...
• Commented on Abortion clinic escort's blog
  Cog Dissonance wrote (in part): And even if someone was forced to have sex, or they were responsible but the condom broke, there's still a perfectly acceptable plan B called, well, Plan B. Two big things here: Putting rape and...
• Commented on Michael Jackson's everlasting death spectacle and "Paedogeddon"
  To repeat a link: http://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/archive/1994/01/orth199401 Scary shit. Alarms to his super-secret "Shirley Temple Bedroom" where his "special guests" stay? A merry-go-round that plays "Like a Virgin?" WTF?...
• Commented on Man who walked into Burning Man fire loses lawsuit
  Exhibit #1A Prime as to why I don't do Burning Man....
• Commented on Elderly retired boxing champ beats six kinds of crap out of drunken burglar neighbour
  Woo, only 23 comments and we already have two Concern Trolls who are Concerned about advocating beating the crap out of knife-wielding thugs intent on hurting persons in their own house. I guess that makes the laws in both the...
• Commented on Michael Jackson -- unrecognizable motivations and constant ruination
  MDH, No, it's not just the settlements, it's the fact that his behaviors match those of a textbook child molester also. Or did you skip that part of my post? Like I said, if any other adult male of his...
• Commented on Michael Jackson -- unrecognizable motivations and constant ruination
  Why do I think MJ was a child molester? The settlements. If he was innocent, he woulda spent the $$ getting lawyers to tell exploitative parents to go f**k themselves, not paying it out to them as hush money. Saturday...
• Commented on Myths about Canadian healthcare
  All, Sorry to be late to the party, but here's my 2c. Note that I work for a major pharmaceutical company, and the numbers that I'm about to give are generally acknowledged as close to the mark by both friends...
• Commented on Finally Fast!
  What's even funnier than this commercial is getting to listen, first-hand, to suckers who buy and install this POS on their machine and then complain when it runs even SLOWER than before, and spews all kinds of popups and crapware....
• Commented on Toilet snake bites man's penis
  Win to Tharklord on this one. :D...
• Commented on Joel Spolsky on the perfect electronics store
  Jack wrote (in part): "Jenonymous, it's not anti-Semitic to say that Orthodox Jews are sexist. The fact that women are separated and treated differently speaks for itself. Heck, go to any Temple that is Orthodox and see the division right...
• Commented on Automated egg printer
  And yes to whomever said that they think Paas made this--that makes sense; we had Paas egg coloring in my house every year (and for those keeping track, me=mixed marriage so we did pretty much every Jewish/Xtian holiday). My favorite...
• Commented on Automated egg printer
  Can't find a linky, but they made a non-electric version of something like this when I was growing up in the 70's. Basically it had an arm that held a magic marker and a spring-loaded thing that held the egg,...
• Commented on Antifascist collages that made Hitler crazy
  Thanks for bringing this guy's work out back into the memesphere. I actually did my German Language senior paper (auf Deutsch) on John Heartfield, and I love his body of work. Also notable was his use of paper stickers as...
• Commented on Joel Spolsky on the perfect electronics store
  RE contact with females: From first hand experience, I have to disagree. I think the conveyor belts ARE a "shoplifting thing" because I have had items put directly into my hand by the male staff before--in fact, at every visit...
• Commented on Joel Spolsky on the perfect electronics store
  Oooh, hit a nerve or something, eh? Having folks make blanket statements like "women won't be welcome at B&H because it is run by Orthodox Jews" IS a biased statement, like it or not. Own it or get over it....
• Commented on Joel Spolsky on the perfect electronics store
  I actually also like Calumet, but their hours suck even worse (very early close time). Haven't made it to Adorama yet. Calumet is good for some stuff but the film selection isn't as good as B&H's....
• Commented on Joel Spolsky on the perfect electronics store
  As a woman, I've never had a problem with the staff at B&H. They have a fantastic selection of obscure stuff, know where every last thing in the store, and know their stuff. Can't help but love the latent lefty...
