  How do they reconcile artists that happily give their work away? I make music and while I sell it I also happily give away almost all my tracks on my my dj site for the exposure. Does that make me...
• Commented on Toy truck craps out domino runs
  I love it. I bet I could graft a pinata onto it so it was festive and crapped a rainbow. Of course it would have to be a unicorn: http://www.amazon.com/Aztec-Imports-PF107-Unicorn-Pinata/dp/B0013WF6LC...
• Commented on How-to make yourself look like Sailor Moon

• Commented on 100-word fiction competition — win an HP MediaSmart EX495
  Locazee reeled in the message torpedo into the cargo bay. It was a strange one so to be safe he set two fixer bots to analyze it. Can't be too careful since a hasty smuggler is a deader. The bots...
• Commented on Lawmakers read script written by biotech/drug giant's lobbyists
  From my probably imperfect memory Lobbying came about because congress used to be inaccessible to the people. In the 60's ish time frame it became legal so the voice of the people could be heard. The hippies and labor got...
• Commented on Happy Little Drop-and-Give-Me-50
  I am amazed at how fast he could churn out episodes for PBS. He is definitely the man. He inspired so many bad painters (and quite a few good ones) to pick up a brush that I appreciate what he's...

• Commented on Courage (and training) defined.
  She is definitely a hero on that one. A hero that was well trained and took care of business. It is counter-intuitive to run and attack your attacker in an ambush but only by doing the unexpected do you have...
• Commented on iPhone game dev accused of stealing players' phone numbers (UPDATED)
  All the Storm8 game applications use your phone number every time you run the application. At least the older versions do. I haven't checked all the most recent versions. I don't think it uploads it when you first install the...
• Commented on iPhone game dev accused of stealing players' phone numbers (UPDATED)
  But if Apple had merely tested it through a web debugging proxy they would have seen that the second or third thing it communicates to Storm8 is your phone number. Each Storm8 "application" has had many versions approved by Apple...
• Commented on iPhone game dev accused of stealing players' phone numbers (UPDATED)
  The Storm8 games are all very much the same game on their server just with different window dressing on the display side. All the games login to the server with a "GET" url string and your iphone phone number is...
• Commented on Bikini Leia and stunt double catch some rays
  If only I had a machine that could move me through time... Ah well, even if I did I'd still be me. I wonder what would happen if you went back in history and detoxed Marylin Monroe.....

• Commented on Futuristic workspace looks like a dinosaur egg
  This is a good start but not encompassing enough. I personally would like something that wraps around more and is a bit more encompassing with maybe an opaque but translucent top...
• Commented on Iraq: Open Thread, "Bloody Sunday"
  Oceania has always been at war with East Asia... 1984 should not be a guidebook about media and government but it seems to be. We have an artificial sense of urgency where what happens to some random hollywood ditz is...
• Commented on Saturday Morning Science Experiment: Pachyderm Dental Care
  So it's only science if it's boring, dry and full of monotonous explanations? As a science *demonstration* this is great and is pretty cool. Without cool demonstrations and interesting things to spice up the science taught straight out of a...

• Commented on Student kills burglary suspect with Samurai sword
  From what I hear, a shorty sledgehammer does wonders for self protection. If this happened in Texas this would not be news. You can shoot an intruder on your property at night in Texas no big deal....
