Commented on Toy truck craps out domino runs
Ugh, Domino Day sucks. Or at least their need to keep breaking their own records and their awful TV presentation sucks. The first problem makes them just make giant fields of thousand x thousand dominoes that fall down to reveal...

Commented on Train track inspector almost gets hit twice
The "slide" after the 2nd jump feels to me like he was using one of his hands to grab onto the track to pull himself away from the 2nd train. To me it looks like he had landed on his...

Commented on USB grenade flash drive
If someone made that question to a Gallup poll, 95% of the population will probably say "NO WAY!", such is the joke that is the TSA. The song "Aquarela do Brasil" just started playing in my head. Brazil... hmmm hmm...

Commented on Quebec solves H1N1 vaccination queues with Disneyland Fastpasses
I can't help but think this is also solvable via a website which saves the initial trip, and it can also be completely anonymous. 1. Person visits website and says he wants a shot, picks the times he prefers. [if...

Commented on Stealthy anti-whaling powerboat
Oh man, why do the hippies have to graffiti the interior? Or is it just my capitalist pig view of worship of material possessions?...

Commented on Two guys who travel the US making free and awesome commercials for small businesses
Wow, their own video (click on "I Love Local Commercials" above) is a fine example of filmmaking masturbation......

Been done on a BlackBerry, and with an F1 car (which goes up to 370 kph): Skip to 1:40: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiLoANg6nNY...

Commented on BMW drives on top of other cars in parking lot (video)
Oops, spoke too soon, those marks were left by the back wheel as the driver sped up to mount the 2 cars......

Commented on BMW drives on top of other cars in parking lot (video)
Well, considering the car leaked something, just tell all the repair shops in the area (the car won't get far) to let them (the cops) know when a black X5 comes in with some hole underneath. Hopefully it's the brake...

Commented on How to memorialize friends who have passed away on Facebook
LOL @ semiotix' script, perhaps you can connect it to Twitter too - Oh crap, I'm dead! - Woo, I'm floating, floating. - The Pearly Gates are actually quite nice! - Holy crap, they let me in, sweet! - Woo...

Commented on Rare photos of a North Korea amusement arcade
The part in that couple's story of the girl believing life in her village is better than in the rest of the world (because the propaganda says it's a barren famined war-stricken place) is amazing. Truly Orwellian. I wonder how...

Commented on Building a brain inside a supercomputer
Hail the singularity! Kurzweil's predictions of technological advancement say there should be a supercomputer capable of simulating one human brain by 2010, so I guess we're not that sophisticated yet. I do wonder about the physical robot, why not just...

Commented on Musician's open letter, sung to Lily Allen
The email written in Opera! (the browser, as evidenced by the scrollbar design). Gooo Opera!...

Commented on Ghost fleet of container ships off Singapore
I'd love to take a speedboat or a helicopter and cruise around these ships at night, while listening to Blade Runner Blues....

Commented on Converted Toyota amphibious van crosses NZ's Cook Strait
Top Gear did it! They were less successful, but more hilarious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzxuEOxYSLE .. well they did manage to cross the English Channel, so successful they were too? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTVPPTV-bQM&feature=related...

Commented on Barney Frank pwns crazy lady at "town hall" meeting, effectively invoking Godwin's law.
Has no one said yet, that is a Churchillian moment for Mr. Frank. Awesome!...

Commented on Stupid pitfalls of social media
Ah, Facebook does the crime of asking people for their mail password. It's disgusting because a clueless user then thinks "Oh, if Facebook's doing it, it's okay.", that he/she then proceeds to give their Hotmail password to some dodgy site...

Commented on US border station scraps sign that says "United States" because terrorists might attack it
So I guess now Americans are "processed-cheese-eating surrender monkeys"?...

Commented on Comics creator stopped by TSA for carrying script about writer under suspicion by TSA
Wow, an autobiography written before it happens. Maybe he should write about an author winning the lottery....

Commented on London cops mug tourist for his bus-station photos
I commented on the Guardian article that it is trivial to restore deleted pictures, just google "restore deleted pictures", and maybe add "freeware". For the non-technical ones, it's critical that you don't take any more pictures after the deletion before...

Commented on Fox's Glenn Beck says Obama is building concentration camps for Republicans
So, where are these camps being built, and how can I help?...

Commented on Aimee Mullins: How my legs give me super-powers
My thought after the first minute: what the hell is that? She looks - through the whole video - like a soap actress poorly acting out a pretentious, poorly-written, daytime soap script... all that "poetic" language, all that pseudo-emotion. Maybe...

Commented on Stimulus bill requires RSS feeds of how the money is spent
I suppose a good thing abouth these requirements is that it will keep the IT industry occupied (i.e. "jobbed"), I wonder how many people running those agencies know what RSS is. It also seems to want the agencies to post...

Commented on Third Eye video camera
It's only so big because it's got everything inside: camera, SD-card interface and power source. A mobile phone's camera is only this big: http://www.techblog.tomksoft.com/data/iphone/camera.jpg , so imagine just having a the lens separate and connected by a cable to the...

"Zero-tolerance policy eh? Well f*** you and your f***ing bullshit f***ing zero f***ing bullshit f***ing tolerance my ass f***ing policy, take that f***ing policy and shove it your f***ing god-f***ing damned asses!" is how I would've replied... loudly too, so...

Commented on Citizen journalists versus US Airways 1549
So now every guy who takes a snapshot of something newsworthy and publishes it online can be called a journalist? LiveJournal, Wordpress, etc, has mobile blogging, so why aren't they getting their asses kissed by the stupid mainstream media? Then...

Commented on India is trying to block Bangladesh's copycat Taj Mahal
Are they really serious? Who the hell would say "Oh let's go to that 1-year old cheap copy of a majestic 17th century monument!"???...

Commented on Excavation of an ant colony
Is it just me or do US documentary narrators like to sound over-dramatic, like every sentence is so very profound? It feels like they're trying to capture the attention of 10 year olds. Watch and listen to some BBC documentaries...

Commented on A Message To Boing Boing Readers From the Auto Industry
The last time I heard about the government taking people's money and putting it into giant, ineffecient industries, it was happening in the good old Soviet Union. So much for "Our ideology won the Cold War!"......

Commented on CNN Closes Space/Tech/Environmental Reporting Unit; Miles O'Brien Departs
As Fark.com says... "It's not news, it's CNN.com". What a sorry state for news when its reporting has been turned to 24 hours of the same 3 sentences and video clips repeated over and over again (oh, how many times...
