• Commented on Austin teacher threatens to sic cops on Linux group because "No software is free"

• Commented on Gentleman insists he's not a "douchebag," sues book publisher
  I think that since this is the opinion of the author(s) that the basis in court is going to be pretty hard to prove. Although, if the suit does come to a close--we may finally have a legal definition of...

  I'm sorry... Am I missing something here? (like the point? *rimshot*) I understand the song is wonderful, but I just want to have a little bit more background on it....
• Commented on Bill threatens lien, penalty to elderly, blind homeowner who owes one cent
  Lets see if I don't get in trouble for this post... This is a case of 'Choose your battles' in it's finest. This goes for both parties as well: The city should have let it go in the first place,...
• Commented on Kids can't "go out and play" anymore
  I was wondering how long it would take people to realize that if we coddle our children TOO much we are breeding a nation of ninny-hammers and milquetoasts. Turns out, it was just over 20 years. Fancy that. I don't...
• Commented on DHS border policy: we can steal anything from you, read all your data, and disclose it to anyone we want
  The reason that we don't storm capital hill is that anybody who plans on trying to overtake the government is labeled a terrorist and is subsequently detained for a "Period of time." Every day I feel even less like a...

  VIVA LA REVOLUTION! This stuff needs to stop NOW. Who watches the watchers?...
• Commented on Elderly woman prohibited from photographing empty swimming pool "to prevent paedophilia"
  I know this is going to upset a lot of people... But when did BoingBoing become a "Directory of Terrible Things"? Maybe there should be a separate section for stories about security and the like? I understand that some people...

• Commented on Why is the TSA taking out nipple rings and pantsing amputees?
  For everybody who is saying "You need to stop using air travel" can just STFU. There are jobs where you need to travel long distances where you simply cannot drive. There is no other way to do them. You cannot...

  I don't understand what people's problem with this is... If you see a track that is named incorrectly, take the two seconds it takes to name it correctly. And before you know it, all your songs are named the right...
• Commented on Police smash car window to "rescue" reborn baby doll
  I agree with the sentiment that the officer was trying to do the right thing, and not to lambaste him for it. The creator of the sudo-baby admits that the purpose of the dolls is to simulate a newborn in...
• Commented on HOWTO make 36-hour perfect cookies in 3 hours
  I used to do this all the time, with a vacuum pump that I found at a flea market. What I thought I was doing was pulling out all the air in-between the flour and water therefore allowing them to...
• Commented on iPhone line-waiter strikes back at jackass TV reporter
  The problem with the 'News' in the USA is that they are governed by ratings. News =! Entertainment It's not like the reporters can go out and cause news-worthy stuff to happen on a daily basis--so they have to make...

• Commented on Body armor developer shoots himself (video)
  This man is a hero. Many, many people have died because low-lifes such as the people described in this video pull this same stunt over and over again. His body armor saves lives every single day, and people here are...
• Commented on Con-artist convinces town he's a super Fed who doesn't need search warrants
  It's a shame that citizens cannot do what the police themselves cannot do. What I mean is, it is a shame that someone who ultimately wanted to do good (stop the drug problem) can't do that because of legal tape....
• Commented on Water ice found on Mars
  Not C02 or 'dry ice' as the atmosphere and/or gravity is not dense/heavy enough to create it, nor is the ground below it is cold enough to make it or maintain it. A thin layer of dirt isn't going to...
• Commented on Cuttlefish embryos can spot prey
  If you really want any pro-life person to get angry, ask them how they feel about suicide. But back to the cuttlefish... Yeah. I wonder if Sharks can do the same thing. Fish have eyes inside the eggs too....

• Commented on E.T. peeping tom caught on video, says abductee
  You would think that with all the times this guy has been abducted, he would have put a much better security/surveillance system outside his home to, among other things, catch these aliens taking him. They obviously don't like cameras--a trait...
