• Commented on @BBVBOX: recent guest-tweeted web video picks (boingboingvideo.com)
  Brilliant! It takes me back to 70's in Sweden. Learning about human bodies and reproduction isn't harmful for kids. If you can let them see god knows how many violent murders every day on TV you can let them know...

• Commented on Statues of Lenin with a boner for communism
  One of our most prominiet statues is not only well endowed, but clearly getting off: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3249/2717929870_316158cc42.jpg?v=0...
• Commented on EU kills "3-strikes" Internet rule, affirms Internet is a fundamental right

• Commented on The Pirate Google: making the point that Google's as guilty of linking to torrents as The Pirate Bay

• Commented on Windows 7 DRM begins to surface
  Oh, I like that - so programs can decide on their own whether to sneakily avoid the firewall? That's not a firewall, it's a sieve masquerading as one, to lure the unwary. ;-/...
• Commented on More Resistance to Free Range Kids
  "We believe a child of 10 is perfectly capable of taking a half hour journey by himself." Good grief, why is this even questioned?...

  Looks like a fairly standard modern baling machine. Also note that it is probably not storing hay but making silage. I.e. it is not protecting the hay from moisture, but enclosing the moisture for fermentation....
• Commented on Ridley Scott to adapt Haldeman's Forever War
  While it might be hard to tell the full story of Forever War in film medium, I think there are more than enough good material in there for a good movie! (Just like Bladerunner didn't capture more than small parts...
• Commented on Last Supper Menu revealed: mmm, delicious eels.
  Mmm, eels! I wonder if I can scrounge up some for lunch!...
• Commented on Poisonous recipe recalled
  My reaction when I saw this in a swedish newspaper was also that anyone even thinking of putting 20 whole nutmeg nuts in the same dish ought not to be in a kitchen. And, kids, don't try this at home....
• Commented on LSD as therapeutic tool
  It has always struck me as wasteful not to study LSD more - it obviously does powerful things with the human mind. There was a lot of study in the early days, but then suddenly cut short....
• Commented on Man electrocutes pickle to demonstrate power of Christianity

• Commented on Sleazy <em>proposed</em> new Dungeons and Dragons license seeks to poison open gaming systems
  Ok, take a deep breath, everybody, because things have gotten confused. This has nothing to do with the OGL (which is the GNU-like license). This has to do with trademarks. Game developers are allowed to use the Wizards-owned d20 trademark...
