Commented on Hackers on a Plane: American hackers tour European hackerspaces
First, Hackerspaces.org does host monthly teleconferences between hackerspaces. We discuss a great deal on these calls, and as a result we all benefit greatly. But, there's a great deal to be learned from meeting other hackers, other cultures, and seeing...

Commented on French cops use racial profiling for stop and search
PIERS Race isn't the issue. Race plays into it certainly. But it's culture ultimately. You see a black guy in a suit walking down the street with a briefcase talking on his blackberry, you don't think "zomg gangbanger" or "wtf...

Commented on French cops use racial profiling for stop and search
Effective forms of criminal profiling should not violate the inalienable rights of a countries citizens, nor their human rights as defined by the UN. Beyond that, profiling seems at face value to be an effective tool in combating crime. I...

Commented on Special Experimentation Zones to solve big problems?
Actually it's funny someone should mention detroit. Everyone's favorite left wing opportunist Michael Moore wrote a somewhat absurd albeit inspired piece regarding the fall of GM, and what we could do with their now languishing infrastructure. He wanted to focus...

Commented on Life with a 100 lb rodent that sounds like a Geiger counter when it's happy
You know the capybara is still considered a fish by the roman catholic church. You can eat it on fridays during lent. Tastes pretty good too. Likened to pork. I used to love seeing these things down in brazil. Cool...

Commented on The first MP3 player (1998)

Commented on Social media in times of political crisis: six "lessons learned"
Primary source information isn't source information until it's been confirmed and verified as accurate. As a means of communication twitter provides almost no implicit authoritative value. There are very few vectors by which to verify the authenticity or origin of...

Regarding reprap... Zach is one of the key contributors to the reprap foundations and the Makerbot shares the CNC control board that zach designed for the reprap foundation. The fundamental difference between the two is that the cupcake cnc is...

Commented on Obama DOJ invents radical authoritarian theory to defend Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping
The man voted for FISA before winning the democratic nomination. It's not like this was unexpected. Anyone who didn't see this coming, in fact, may want to refrain from voting since they obviously believed the hype over reality....

Commented on Israel Invades Gaza: Online coverage, "citizen reporter" resources.
The fundamental problem here is that anyone recognizes gaza as anything more than an anarchic region. There is no police force or governing body and there is no hope of peace in any form. Israel's approach as reprehensible as it...

Best gift (in terms of coolness) I got this year is a weird one. My brother pulled this from an old nuclear bunker, and knowing my affinity for technology bound to get me in trouble... gave it to me. http://www.flickr.com/photos/31040609@N02/3143292348/...

Commented on Cop seen on video knocking over bicyclist has been indicted
