• Commented on Miro open video player/client gets a major update
  I've been using Miro for a very long time now and I recommend it wholeheartedly. It downloads my torrents at double the rate of any other torrent client (not sure why) and it works great. I admit I've been moving...

• Commented on Onion Goggles for the Bono of Onion Dicers
  I think these goggles would look great on my onions but do you think they make a larger pair to fit on my Bermudas?...
• Commented on New electronic shift system for road bikes coming in 2009
  I really need a set of these to help me deal with my 'mental overhead'. I try and I try but I just can't seem to reach the podium because I always find that I lack the mental headroom to...
• Commented on <i>Duke Nukem Trilogy</i> is the best E3 trailer ever made
  I particularly like the masturbatory stylings of that guitarist in the theme song....
• Commented on Casio keyboard-controlled table hockey
  This is the greatest thing I, a humble hoser, have ever seen. Now, I better get back to frying up the back bacon before the old lady tells me to take off....
• Commented on Man steals £15,000 to buy radios
  I feel for the guy. I kinda have the same problem. I'm a junkie for audio systems....
• Commented on Taxonomy of regional pizza styles
  Massimo's is good but my vote definitely goes to Vesuvio's in the Junction. It is, without a doubt, the best pizza in Toronto. It has a nice, crispy, thin crust with a truly fantastic, bright, simple sauce. But alas, I...
• Commented on RoomWizard Scheduler for Meeting Rooms
  I've seen these at a hospital near me. I thought they were pretty cool until I found out how much they cost. They sure look slick, though....
• Commented on Old Soviet Christmas cards
  I forgot to add that I do think the design of the cards is great, especially the little skiing, mail delivering animals. Spaceships and satellites for every good little boychik in the motherland....
• Commented on Old Soviet Christmas cards
  To elaborate a bit on what Stefan and Zolf had mentioned, these are not really Christmas cards but New Year’s greeting since religious occasions were not permitted to be celebrated in the USSR. Even today, the emphasis is on New...
• Commented on Rogers ISP of Canada breaks into your browsing session to tell you off for using the net too much
  I really hate Rogers. They're one of the worst ISPs in Canada. The have been throttling bandwidth, unannounced, since well before the Comcast debacle down south. I recently canceled my TV and internet with them due to the high cost...
• Commented on New York Xpress American Hip Hop store in East London
  Speaking of crazily named fried chicken joints, I was in Kyiv and spied a 'Beirut Fried Chicken' shop. The logo and colours were remarkably similar to America's favourite dirty bird....
• Commented on Miro kicks Joost's ass
  For all the folks having issues with Miro downloading multiple versions of the same show, just refine your search on whatever rss site you use. The one I use allows me to specify season, episode, distribution group and more, just...
• Commented on Miro kicks Joost's ass
  Having used both Miro and Joost for a while now, I definitely prefer Miro and use it much more often. Joost is heavily restricted, has crap content and I still can't figure out that interface, though it does look pretty...
• Commented on Porno-embroidered hankerchiefs
  Now that's what I call hanky panky!...
• Commented on Russia's culture minister bans photo of kissing policemen
  I find it ironic that the Russians would go to the extent of banning this artwork. Men kiss each other as a customary gesture of greeting and parting in much of eastern Europe. Sokolov's action speaks volumes about Russia's current...
• Commented on Woman dies in security custody at airport
  I'm wondering if there was a camera in the holding room. There seem to be cameras all over the aeroports these days. It would sure help to explain some things....
• Commented on Ex-spook cult now running most of Russian politics
