• Commented on Apple earbuds: Which is the fake?
  I've been using the Bose earbuds for several years now, and the durability matches the quality, which are both exceptional. I went through a few pairs of $20 earbuds in a matter of weeks, so i decided to spend a...
• Commented on Flowcharting the gay marriage debate
  Who doesn't love useless arguments like this? Neither 'side' will ever give in and learn something from the debate because each 'side' is convinced the other is wrong. Of course, in this case, people arguing that "God hates fgs" (etc.)...
• Commented on Gorilla-viewing glasses prevent eye-contact
  These are incredible. I hope they introduce these to every zoo because I really want some. By the way, Corey Doctorow, I'm shocked to find an error in your grammar (unless it's a typo). "The glasses' introduction follow an attack..."...
• Commented on When Do We Start Calling Years 'Twenty-Somethings'?
  I was taught that the correct hyphenation is "two thousand twenty-three" and the "and" is unnecessary, and perhaps even incorrect, as "and" in a number usually signifies a decimal point....
• Commented on iPhone OS 3.0 to allow background apps?
  If you've jailbroken your device, you can use the latest version of Backgrounder, which is very nice. They finally added an interface for selecting apps you want to run in the background by default. Unfortunately, what the device really lacks...
• Commented on Please Stop Caring About Megapixels
  Before commanding everyone to spread your opinion to the world, maybe you should choose your words more carefully. Yes there is a lot more than megapixels that makes a camera good, but a higher pixel count means you can scale...
• Commented on Clippy: copy-and-paste for Jailbroken iPhones
  I also use many of the apps mentioned by Doomstalk, but one of the main reasons i jailbreak my iPod Touch is so i can run an ssh server on it and have write-access to the entire disk, thus enabling...
• Commented on U.S. household debt down for first time since feds started tracking it in 1952
  Yeah, Fist Time always seems to bring household debt down......
• Commented on Top 50 drug "trips' in movies
  I agree with rAMPANTiDIOCY @ #24...i thought the acid trip scene from Across the Universe would be somewhere near the top (as in best) of the list. Watching it in the theater was an amazing experience......
• Commented on Emily the Strange is a rip off of a 1978 book character
  Nate the Great! I used to read those books all the time when i was a kid...mmm, pancakes......
• Commented on Andy Baio sniffs out Google voice search for the iPhone
  Wow, amazing observation skills! Anyone with basic reasoning skills and a packet sniffer could figure this out. I wonder if he knows what the word "binary" actually means...or maybe his computer is able to store data in analog......
• Commented on Google releasing speak-to-search iPhone app
  Speaking of sloppiness... ...speaking into the mike. It simply sucks up your voic e... Do you guys ever read your posts before posting them? Just kidding, sorta......
• Commented on Steampunk Vacuum Survival System is top hat accommodating space helmet
  That's not a monocle....
• Commented on How Apple wins the smartphone game: By ignoring the marginal customer
  Maybe it's not about how many features a phone has so much as the quality and overall experience that wins people. Personally, i find that my $45 basic samsung phone with minimum features does a perfect job of giving me...
• Commented on The Waterbirth Vessel: the miracle of life meets the jacuzzi
  And after you're done, why, you don't even need to cook: just get yourself a ladle and help yourself to your crockpot full of stew! /me pukes. We could have done without that last comment....
• Commented on Wonkette: Jesus people pray that false idol will save God’s economy
  Here's a link with a bunch of answers to this topic: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080926130437AA1rbXD Some of them are good, some are weak, and some are even sarcastic. You can decide for yourself which are which. Also, have fun with http://www.openbible.info/topics/ I'm going...
• Commented on Wonkette: Jesus people pray that false idol will save God’s economy
  AGF @ #296, please show me where the Bible says not to do these things. No, i don't eat shell fish. But no, i don't eat things based on whether or not they're labeled kosher. Also, i'm not trying to...
• Commented on Wonkette: Jesus people pray that false idol will save God’s economy
  FoetusNail @ #288: "The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also." Good quote. Do you think it doesn't apply to you because you don't consider your set...
• Commented on Wonkette: Jesus people pray that false idol will save God’s economy
  FoetusNail @ 276: I think the problem you're having with "our book" is that you're relying on logic. Faith is not logical. It takes a step of faith to believe something you can only understand if you're willing to believe....
• Commented on Wonkette: Jesus people pray that false idol will save God’s economy
  FoetusNail @ #273: So, anyone that professes to believe can make the good book mean whatever they want it to mean. That's not what i said; professing to believe is not important here. Truly opening up to what it has...
• Commented on Wonkette: Jesus people pray that false idol will save God’s economy
  Arkizzle @ #267: Also, in a completely non-argumentative way: can you show me people who call themselves Muslims, who follow Jesus? Unfortunately, i cannot. I made this claim based on first-hand accounts by people i trust. I know that then...
• Commented on Wonkette: Jesus people pray that false idol will save God’s economy
  Hmm...i should start previewing my comments before hitting the POST button....
• Commented on Wonkette: Jesus people pray that false idol will save God’s economy
  Arkizzle @ #263:Also, I'm not sure you are getting FoetusNail's definition of "letting go".. Maybe you're right, but my point was that i've lived without faith, without God before; i remember what it was like. I have no intention to...
• Commented on Wonkette: Jesus people pray that false idol will save God’s economy
  Arkizzle, you make a good point about the prayer in school. I did not put much thought into that comment, and you're right (in other words, i guess it was somewhat of a mindless comment). My point was that saying...
• Commented on Wonkette: Jesus people pray that false idol will save God’s economy
  Foetusnail @ #260, glad you noticed. So you see that when you insult me, you insult yourself? Jesus, whatever his form, will be denied, that is the nature of the mythical savior. Could you please cite the verse you're referring...
• Commented on Wonkette: Jesus people pray that false idol will save God’s economy
  (Oops, looks like i missed the closing blockquote tags in the previous post. Sorry for the confusion.) Arkizzle, sure. Actually, i meant to respond to that when you posted it but forgot to. Arkizzle @ #145: No. When a group...
• Commented on Wonkette: Jesus people pray that false idol will save God’s economy
  #253 posted by mdh gruppler, the problem here is that you're picking a fight with the bouncer, and you're the only one who doesn't see it. Honestly, i'm not trying to fight. I was when i first started posting on...
• Commented on Wonkette: Jesus people pray that false idol will save God’s economy
  Irony I"ron*y, n. [L. ironia, Gr. ? dissimulation, fr. ? a dissembler in speech, fr. ? to speak; perh. akin to E. word: cf. F. ironie.] [1913 Webster] 1. Dissimulation; ignorance feigned for the purpose of confounding or provoking an...
• Commented on Wonkette: Jesus people pray that false idol will save God’s economy
  Takuan @ #225: on what basis do you rely on the bible? I'm sorry, i'm not sure exactly what you're asking. Do you mean "basis" as in "daily basis" or as in foundation? I'm guessing you don't really care that...
• Commented on Wonkette: Jesus people pray that false idol will save God’s economy
  I'm ok with that, in this case. I believe the Bible is all i need to base my capacity for judgement on (and i need to read much more than i do), though that doesn't mean i limit myself to...
