  @#7 THECHEAT I noticed that too! Those do look like handles on a closed sash....
• Commented on US military blows up piles of poppy seeds to win the “hearts of minds” of Afghan citizens
  If they practiced here by wiping out eggplant they'd win my heart and mind. Actually I do wonder if destroying the seeds won't create scarcity, drive market prices up, create more incentive to grow the stuff, and exacerbate the problem....
• Commented on Video: Girl happily hula-hoops to a happy Geggy Tah track.
  Cleared my mind. Right up there with unicorn chasers. Thanks!...
• Commented on EFF's Surveillance Self-Defense International: 6 tips for protecting free speech
  Well reading that and thinking "are we really close to needing this?" and then adding "well there are no assurances that the things they're doing now won't soon be done domestically" just gave me the jibblies. I might as well...
• Commented on World's tiniest frogs
  They look like such a tasty beak-sized meal. I'm surprised birds haven't gobbled them up to extinction....
• Commented on How con-men make their faces look trustworthy
  @ #24 On the other hand, if you have facial characteristics which don't engender trust, you may become less trustworthy over time as a reaction to the societal expectation. I believe the effect can be profound on developing personalities. A...
• Commented on UFO home sold at auction
  So, the mortgage meltdown has hit the Visitors too. Xlandor will not be pleased....
• Commented on Truth about teleportation
  @ #19 posted by dculberson yes, the 'new' person might be indistinguishable from the old, but it isn't the same person. A copy is just that: a copy. It's an additional instance. Destroying the original doesn't magically make the copy...
• Commented on Truth about teleportation
  So Kirk, Spock, and Bones were killed by vaporization and replaced by exact duplicates every time they beamed? So the extant version of themselves had to willingly accept death and step on the platform so a newly generated edition of...

  And I just have to add psychebubblegumedelic Go Back by Crabby Appleton....
• Commented on Music video roundup from the 1960s
  Wow, Mark, if you'd also posted a link to The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore by the Walker Brothers I'd think you were totally channeling me....
• Commented on Individual, isloated Sgt Peppers vocal and instrumental tracks
  This is interesting. The YouTube takedown notice says This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by the Recording Industry Association of America, Inc. The RIAA, perhaps oh-so-thoughtfully acting on behalf of the artist without being asked...
• Commented on Record industry practices revisionism about music recording
  @ #52 Larisa Listen to my recording at www.cdbaby.com/migachyov . As a professional, you'll probably be able to find numerous flaws in the recording; but for all that, it's not bad for a $500 investment. That's quite good! With a...
• Commented on Record industry practices revisionism about music recording
  @ Pault #51 I do have a couple of small questions, though. First, I notice that you've made several posts without mentioning the band's name or URL. Was this deliberate or an oversight? Deliberate in the sense of not knowing...
• Commented on Record industry practices revisionism about music recording
  @#42 "Well gee skeeter, from the tone of your comment you certainly seem qualified to speak of the middle ages. " I have no idea what you're talking about. Now you kids get out of my yard. And I'm keeping...
• Commented on Record industry practices revisionism about music recording
  As for angels wanting to fund projects for young artists - I don't want your funding, and I don't want your control over my music. I made my CD myself. I didn't even go to a recording studio. I bought...
• Commented on Record industry practices revisionism about music recording
  @ #18 I see your point only too painfully for being a little late to see it. A little over a year ago I invested 5 grand to help a talented young artist produce a high-quality CD. I reasoned I'd...
