• Commented on How the DC snipers hacked an ex-police car to make a killing machine
  So now the terrorists are using...shudder...automobiles. Well there goes any chance of taking an automobile onto a commercial airplane flight! Thanks a lot, Malvo....

  That pink hair kicks ass....
• Commented on Love Cake, a baking song by Rocky and Balls
  This is the best song ever containing the phrase "cake hole." Nice work, ladies!...
• Commented on Man posts interactive browser for his own brain
  Very cool. Looks like it must have been 1mm slices, or even bigger. And saying it's just the brain is underselling this a bit. You can also see his sinus cavities, eyes, and middle and inner ear, including his semicircular...
• Commented on Terrifying huge breakfast is free if you eat it in 20 minutes
  #26: Nicely done. I laughed so hard at that reply, I blew 10 sausages out my nose....
• Commented on Random ham radio trollfight audio (explicit)
  Please cite your source, #101 ANONYMOUS....
• Commented on Rachel Maddow interviews Tom Ridge on politicizing terror threat alerts
  I don't know what the big deal is here. She keeps asking the same questions over and over, and he keeps giving the same answers over and over. They're both awesome at being repetitive. Whoopee! He says he thought at...
• Commented on Random ham radio trollfight audio (explicit)
  IANAL, thank The Maker. But the law does say this: "oral communication" means any oral communication uttered by a person exhibiting an expectation that such communication is not subject to interception under circumstances justifying such expectation Did the bozos seem...
• Commented on Random ham radio trollfight audio (explicit)
  I tried to submit a comment 2 or 3 days ago pointing out that Roy Trumbull's post is right, but my comment apparently was not approved. The gist of my message was that in the US it is illegal to...
• Commented on Unexplained space phenomena captured in photo of Saturn's rings
  All these worlds are yours except Europa. Attempt no landings there....
• Commented on Star Wars fan recreation
  As a huge fan of Star Wars, I sure hope the 15 second clips have at least some production value. If they're all like the example, Scene 300, the end result will be unwatchable. Put the microphone somewhere near the...
• Commented on Mutton Busting: children riding terrified sheep.
  Mutton busting is safer for kids than learning to ride a bicycle, and safer for sheep than being sheared. Plus, it's good clean American fun and gets kids out of their living rooms and away from their Nintendos. So what's...
• Commented on Google announces Chrome Operating System, open-source Windows competitor
  To me, Google has to do a bit of catching up with its own hype machine before I'll start believing their hypothetical release dates for a new operating system. For example, I'm still waiting for the Chrome browser they promised...
• Commented on First music video shot on iPhone 3GS? Reyna Perez, "Love Love Love."
  TUAW.com is reporting that the next generation iPhone's built-in video camera will have a Dolby nose-reduction feature....
• Commented on 13 year old kid reviews a 30 year old Sony Walkman
  Ah, this brings back some memories. My parents bought me the WM-7 which was super cool. It was the first Walkman with "logic controls" meaning that the play head wasn't directly under manual control. Instead, you pressed a high tech...
• Commented on Mathematically modelling phantom traffic jams
  @47: Bill Beaty, if everyone were as smart as you, I don't think most US cities would ever have traffic jams. What you described is the way I drive, too, based on my own mental model of traffic flow as...
• Commented on Julia Dales: beat boxing champion
  Good job, Julia, and congratulations on your win. Judging from the usual Boing Boing comments, I'm going to predict: 52% of readers are amazed at the amazing sounds coming from your mouth 24% of readers don't appreciate your art 15%...
• Commented on Breathlyzer source-code sucks
  There are some key points that Cory neglected to mention in his quickie summary, and none of the commenters seem to have caught. First, Cory makes it sound like this code analysis was just recently completed. But the analysis was...
• Commented on Joel Spolsky on the perfect electronics store
  I've never been to one of the brick-and-mortar B&H stores, but I've spent thousands with them online. Selection can't be beat, and I've never had any issues whatsoever. Every order has been packaged well and shipped quickly....
• Commented on GOOD: Lake Mead is drying up
  That article's title and content are a bit misleading. Lake Mead isn't a lake, it's a reservoir. Saying it's "drying up" implies that it's some sort of natural thing that we don't have control over. In reality, the level of...
• Commented on This is a motorcycle helmet
  No frakking way would I wear this while riding. What's the point of even wearing a helmet if it's going to decrease your field of view so much? You'd be safer taking the helmet off and painting a big target...
• Commented on Hand-carved linocut animation
  I hear this "lost word" - "dehisce" - more than most, because I have a rare inner ear disorder called superior semi-circular canal dehiscence. In short, part of my inner ear has burst open, releasing material into the brain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_canal_dehiscence...
• Commented on Diane Rubio plays "Lulu's Back in Town" on ukulele
  I'm with Tuscadero. All the other ukelele girls I've seen on Boing Boing haven't really shown much in the way of musicianship. However, this one's got some chops!...
• Commented on Indie Half-Life 2 miniseries with a budget of $500
  Why does he use his crowbar? Because he's got one! Everyone who watches a movie based on DOOM expects to see the shotgun, the chainsaw, and the BFG. And everyone who watches a movie based on HL2 expects to see...
• Commented on Indie Half-Life 2 miniseries with a budget of $500
  This is OUTSTANDING work. As a sound editor and videographer who sees a LOT of local indie low budget films, I can say this trumps 99% of what's being produced today. I can also say there's no way anyone can...
• Commented on Rush's YYZ with 13-year-old on drums
  She probably wouldn't sound so sloppy if she cut out the gratuitous drum major moves. Yeah, she hit most of the notes, but screwed a lot of them up because she couldn't get from "stick spinning" to "drum hitting" quick...
• Commented on Acclaimed animated movie can't be shown because of licensing costs for 80+ year-old music
  I'm baffled by how this film could be "wowing the festival circuit". Every legitimate film festival in the US requires the submitting filmmaker to affirm that he or she owns the full legal right to public performance of their work....
• Commented on Warhol, Spielberg, Bianca Jagger on a hotel bed...
  Maybe it's not that he is less personable. Maybe he just doesn't smoke as much pot....
• Commented on BioShock commercial
  That was a fun game, but shouldn't the sequel be out by now? I'm pretty sure I finished it well over a year ago. Do PS3 users really buy games that are a year passe?...
