• Commented on Bruce Sterling explains swine flu
  'Practical Tips...?' The entire article was egotistical, 'I'm so smart,' useless crap. There was nothing 'useful' in it. Most people in the world do not live in the Bay Area where their water, air, and food are VERY secure. Billions...
• Commented on Naked man tasered at Coachella for refusing to wear wizard's robe
  This is a classic example of how the police earned the name 'PIG' during the 60s. The only violence was initiated, and executed clumsily, by the stupid and brutal police officers. Coachella is not at the top of the list...
• Commented on Podcast memoir: how an idealistic young Mormon missionary threatened to blow up a plane
  >Not the most coherent thought process. I can assure you. There is NOTHING about being a Mormon that involves thought. It is the most primitive claptrap imaginable and must be swallowed whole, without contemplation.

  My wife and I have been living in China for several years. This school is not good, but there are far worse. The difference between these village schools and the primary schools for the children of leaders in cities like...

• Commented on How to draw a USB key icon in Photoshop
  Unless the device is tapered to a smaller size toward the plug, the perspective is incorrect. The back should appear smaller than the front for a uniform rectangle. Or, am I smoking crack AGAIN?!?...

  "It can collect images from orbit with enough detail to show home plate on a baseball diamond." I'm with #1 post. Here I sit at my desk in China looking at home plate in the San Francisco ball park. One...

• Commented on YSL RIP
  I do soooooo want to understand the lingo of those who appreciate this man. But, when TAKUAN hurls comments such as this 'your unabashed unreconstructiveness makes my case' (#14 above) at me, and I cannot find 'unreconstructiveness' even in my...
• Commented on YSL RIP
  It escapes me why this is important to anyone except his family. Women go to great expense and trouble to look stupid, and guys like this one tap in to the problem. Pants = revolutionary indeed. 'Rosy The Riveter' wore...

  And, by the way, the reference above to the Federal Aviation Regulations left out the heading which states; Sec. 91.119 - Minimum safe altitudes: General. Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, no person may operate an aircraft below the...
• Commented on Man lands plane on golf course so son wouldn't be late for tennis lesson
  Uninformed jabber about situations like this make my bowels loose. I write as a retired airline pilot with about 23,000 flying hours, and 32 years experience. 18 of those years were spent flying in 'bush' operations in Alaska. Any reasonably...
