• Commented on The decline of civilization symbolized in a modern light socket
  Surely you can still buy ones with screws? If so, then it's just more choice -- I don't see what the big deal is....
• Commented on Leopard seal teaches photographer how to catch penguins
  Why is it considered "misfiring"? When we take care of non-humans, is that also misfiring?...
• Commented on Apple patents anti-user attention-complianceware
  "Cue Apple Fanboys who want us all to understand that the infallible and immortal Steve Jobs would only use this power to show us lovely, interesting, and informative messages that we're happy to receive in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1..."...
• Commented on Tibetan Tantric Masters: video
  Maybe you should read up about insight meditation and what it's supposed to achieve? It may look like "nothing", but the latest neuroscience in this area suggests otherwise. Your long argument just shows that you know very little about the...
• Commented on Is Sony legally required to make its games accessible to disabled people?
  Seems that some people here don't know the difference between being totally blind and being visually impaired. Plenty of visually impaired people just need a bit of extra help. If the changes required to Sony's game to make it usable...
• Commented on Brand New discusses our logo
  I like this redesigned logo. Not sure what was going on with the spiky logo that was there for a while. I generally like the rest of the redesign except for how the articles get reduced near the bottom. It's...
• Commented on BMW drives on top of other cars in parking lot (video)
  BMW drivers may have a bad reputation, but their cars are usually well built, even if that one isn't the most capable of off-road vehicles. It may no longer ride as smooth at high speeds, of course. An early servicing...
• Commented on Brit copyright group says, "No laptops allowed in cinemas"
  But that doesn't explain your assumption that everyone else lives in a city with poor public transport. Or was your comment only supposed to be relevant to your unmentioned circumstances?...
• Commented on The woman who can't stop orgasming
  lasttide: "It doesn't happen. I suppose there could be option c) the guy is a merciful saint, but I find that terribly unlikely." You said it doesn't happen, and then just admitted it's possible. Why do you find it so...
• Commented on Oligarch's yacht has a laser anti-photo screen
  @#33: But IR light can still get through since the filters aren't perfect. If the laser is powerful enough, it could still disrupt the image....
• Commented on 3D movies are doomed to gimmickhood
  @#71 posted by sworm: I don't buy that. Saying that something appearing to come out of the screen reminds you that it's a movie seems like a baseless assumption to me. You could say the same about large panning shots,...
• Commented on Vegemite's stupid and clueless linking policy
  That has to be up there with one of the worst redesigns for a big brand I've seen in a while. It amazes me how people can still produce and accept such poorly designed sites. How can such a big...

• Commented on The blog of Philip Garrido, serial rapist and kidnapper: "sound control" gadget hallucinations.
  Show me now the evidence that there are not two species at least: Homo Sapiens Sapiens and Homo Sapiens Psychopathis? Why is it impossible that two species have co-evolved and intermingle? Burden of proof is on you since you are...
• Commented on The blog of Philip Garrido, serial rapist and kidnapper: "sound control" gadget hallucinations.
  I don't get the attitude in the post. "Monster", "May he rot in hell". It strikes me as quite naive and hateful and I'm surprised to see it here. This guy is not a monster, he is just as human...
• Commented on Nano Air Vehicle takes flight
  Why are they using flapping wings? I understand researching that alone, but if you just want a small remote air vehicle that can hover, a helicopter is better. Or is there something I've overlooked? It's not like an animal, where...

  How about a link to whatever is in the top photo?...
• Commented on What your dad had instead of email scammers
  Maybe you can't, but my friend manages fine. He gets big orders for people wanting them for events etc. Of course, with a cynical attitude, you're not likely to get very far doing this....
• Commented on Woman takes revenge on tow truck driver
  @14/dculberson: There's also a reason why professional racing drivers don't put as much fanatical weight on the FWD vs. RWD debate often had by petrolheads. In my experience, people who rant on about how RWD is superior often don't know...
• Commented on "It's something called the Internet"
  @#19 People keep complaining about it because that seems to be about the only thing we can do. Perhaps if enough people complain all the time, Hulu et al might put some more effort into trying to find a solution....

• Commented on Is Crohn's disease on the rise because we've eliminated hookworm infections?
  I don't understand the point of this post. Boingboing is not a science or medical blog, so why is such speculative stuff being posted here? Is there any study here that attributes the rise in such things as Crohn's disease...
• Commented on London Times on the Honda Insight: "Biblically terrible"
  As much as I like Clarkson, I don't expect him to understand any of the technology he reviews or like anything that doesn't fit his expectations. Still enjoyed the review, though....
• Commented on Weird hums in the UK
  Takuan: I know some think subjective tinnitus is linked with low serotonin levels, which makes sense with my experience. Not feeling in control of one's life is also something that's probably going to effect serotonin levels in a similar way....
• Commented on Father, High on PCP, Eats Son's Eyeballs Out
  I think what you do on something like PCP is partly a reflection of yourself. It is a chemical which alters the function of the brain -- it doesn't inherently make you do any of the things people do on...

  Some people seem to think that he is worried about his camera. He could be more worried about loosing the photos on it, since most thieves don't return your CF card. Stolen cameras are easily replaced if you have insurance....
