• Commented on Linksys WRT54G2 isn't ugly, for a change
  I don't want equipment can't stack, I want unobtrusive stuff I can hide away. What do these designers think? We have square miles of display space for their products? All we want is that it works as advertised!...
• Commented on Acme's tri-panel portable rig offers built in multi-display
  As a live-sound engineer, I definitely would love to use a box like that. Less setup time, less tear-down time: that really counts: focus on the job....

  Beautiful!I want one!!!!...
• Commented on Disc Manager takes aim at the pornography archivist demographic
  [quote]The Disc Manager 100 and its bundled software makes it easy to locate any file and eject the appropriate disc in seconds.[/quote] eject? ejaculate?...
• Commented on Billboards measure decibel levels
  Was busy typing when I saw comment #6: that's what I wanted to say too. It's misleading, and they should stop calling this an "awareness" campaign, because it's plain wrong. The soundlevel at "your" location on the square can be...
• Commented on Beautiful boombox echoes from within double-bass enclosure
  A Behringer EQ in a 15.000$ stereo? Ridiculous!...
• Commented on Tiny wireless video camera watches and waits—for 45 minutes
  Hmmm, that's 270 000 pixels (VGA), not 2.7 megapixels. And, forgive me, if you don't post at least a link to a sample video made with this thing, you're just giving away free advertising space, no?...
• Commented on Steampunk inspired art prints to benefit EFF
  I really liked this piece...it definitely has something special something special. Thanks for posting this. (And hey, most of you, don't you think you're somewhat impolite? Doesn't such an artist deserve better than serving as a pretext for your ego-inspired...
• Commented on Good comments: Adam Rice and Phillip Lamb, on their technical problems

• Commented on Good comments: Adam Rice and Phillip Lamb, on their technical problems
  Why not do a search for that string in your language file, and work back to the function that triggers that output? (On your server, in the movable type directory, somewhere in a php file). Would be more efficient than...
• Commented on Fuji makes you sign bizarre EULA to buy a camera
  Hi, I didn't read all comments, but I'm must say I'm puzzled by what I read until now: are you all so obsessed with "see-through-swimming-suits" issues that you don't see that there's much more to it, especially security issues? I...
• Commented on Microsoft Drops White Spaces Device Ball Again
  What the heck Microsoft is doing in there? Why don't they leave this stuff to companies that have the expertise? Like Shure, Sennheiser, Audio-Technica, whoever? Please focus on getting your software to work correctly. Thanks!!...
• Commented on Vintage Microphone Gallery
  Very nice, of course, but both the BB comment (core77 has a great collection of vintage microphones.....) and core77's own comment (but it's also a sad reminder that a once-beautiful object, a device that truly signified "industrial design," is gone...
• Commented on Boing Boing's Moderation Policy (Archived)
  What happened? I check BB twice, if not more per day ...what did I miss? In other words, was this post neccessary, I mean, couldn't you just post a link to a eula or something? Sounds so unfriendly.... There's...
• Commented on Scotland Yard wants DNA samples from 5-year-olds in case they grow up to be criminals; Oyster card records to become part of "war on terror"
  Quote from original article: 'If we have a primary means of identifying people before they offend, then in the long-term the benefits of targeting younger people are extremely large,' said Pugh. 'You could argue the younger the better. Criminologists say...

  Just put a carrot in there instead of your finger....
• Commented on Using sex to advocate for student housing
  This is indeed "SFW" in France. Probably because the French are less obsessed. But more probably, because, inspite of what's been told, the French do WORK at work instead of surfing the internet....
• Commented on The Long Arm of a Crafty Hog Herder
  I have no use for this, but I must admit it's brilliant...... if only we could have great ideas like this more often in other domains........
• Commented on What do old people look like?
  Hmmm, why is this photoset blocked by Flickr's default "SafeSearch" thingy? (I didn't even know it existed before this.....)...
• Commented on Virgin will use biodiesel in test flight
  What we definitely should do first, is trying to reduce significantly our need for transportation, as well as starting to produce repairable goods, and stop our trow-away culture....
• Commented on Virgin will use biodiesel in test flight
  @#6: No, my reaction assumes that whenever you succesfully create a market for such agrofuels, all the byproducts of the whole world wouldn't be enough to fulfill the demand, and rainforests will be chopped down for production of this new...
• Commented on Virgin will use biodiesel in test flight
  It must be emphasised that "biofuel" (I'd prefer "agrofuel") is potentially the biggest catastrophy you can imagine. Definitely the worst good idea of all times. IMHO....
• Commented on Kevin Kelly: Better Than Free
  Interesting, of course but I'd like to draw your attention to the fact that this is not a US-specific subject: The instant reduplication of data, ideas, and media underpins all the major economic sectors in our economy, particularly those involved...
• Commented on Can Ethernet Cabling Become Art?
  @kiki971: sorry, but your's is a misconception. A realisation takes more than craftmanship and good design to be called "art". This misconception is general these days. Comment#14 by the specialist is more correct. Quote from wikipedia: "Generally art is a...
