• Commented on An evening of confusion with Dell customer service
  "First of all, if anyone got fired over this, it's because they were doing a shitty job. Secondly, getting someone fired from a commission based phone sales position is doing them a favor." I take into account that you choose...

• Commented on Musician's open letter, sung to Lily Allen
  @#9 Almost there mate - it's the artist also known as Scroobius Pip not the DJ that he worked with Dan le Sac. Compare and contrast the Lilly Allen track with this Letter to God over a Radiohead backing track...
• Commented on Spacemen are transmitting silent little floaty vlogs at planet Earth (also: laptops in orbit!)
  Looks a bit cluttered. Maybe someone should use one of those thinkpads to do up a cleaning rota....
• Commented on The Los Angeles fires, as seen from space.
  @BLITHERING Yeah - it was more of a cultural reference than an actual conspiracy theory :0)...

• Commented on Climate Camp to London cops: We won't tell you where the next camp is because you keep beating the crap out of us
  @17 wtf? The character of Ian Tomlinson is completely irrelevant to the fact that he died after a beating by the police. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Tomlinson...

• Commented on AIDS Healthcare Foundation files workplace safety complaints against porn producers
  ...so if pornography is safer in the future it will not be as it currently is in terms of its cultural practices....
• Commented on AIDS Healthcare Foundation files workplace safety complaints against porn producers
  The issue of workplace safety is completely different from the "Are these people consenting adults?" line of reasoning. Employees need to have their rights protected by law because they are in a vulnerable position vis-a-vis their employers. This just means...
• Commented on What would you do with a Class C IP block?
  ***Combine the IP addresses with Geo-caching and Encryption for a physically decentralised random access darknet*** Instructions: (1) Host an encrypted webpage at each IP address. Each webpage is a multimedia capable wiki with a few gigs of storage and instructions...
• Commented on Visualizing up to ten dimensions
  "The physical manifestation of a Moebius strip has according to what you're saying two surfacey type things. A side, or surface, and an edge surface which wouldn't be there if it existed in it's ideal state." Yes - this notion...
• Commented on Visualizing up to ten dimensions
  #115 Piers wrote "#76 Sef I'm staggered no one else has pointed out to you that there are one sided pieces of paper. Moebius strips." Of course I have heard of mobius strips - it is to mobius strips that...
• Commented on Zombaritaville - song lyrics rewritten as zombie tunes
  For remix lyrics I prefer the Ryan Harvey satire "The times they are not achangin" Come gather round people and fall to your knees and bow to the red white and blue m16's if you liked the riot cops you'll...
• Commented on Visualizing up to ten dimensions
  @ 70: "this video makes an effort to unify elements of string with it's own point of view." ...probably by folding the attitudes of string theorists in such a way that what they think is right becomes what they think...
• Commented on Visualizing up to ten dimensions
  Frankly this is the worst metaphysics I've ever come across. My favorite howlers are: (1) The conflation of the mathematical model for what is being modeled.[If you stop and think about it you will realise that none of these dimensions...
• Commented on Amnesty wants you to join a chat TODAY with Shell over human rights violation in Niger Delta
  We know all about shell's human rights record here in Ireland. Shell is the major stakeholder in the development of an extremely controversial gas pipe line off the West Coast of Ireland. The major aspects of the controversy are: (1)...
• Commented on Pirate Bay to sell to private company, go legit (?) (!)
  Interesting point Benher - I think the reason that so many users are spitting brimstone on the comments at TPB is that they all realise that the sell out of TPB is really a sell out of TPB's user base....
• Commented on Honduras: Photos of Coup
  When the military take control of the executive - that's a coup. ...though I can see how North Americans might mistake it for "bringing democracy to Honduras." Read some Chomsky and learn to cope....
• Commented on Pirate Bay to sell to private company, go legit (?) (!)
  One of the commentators on the pirate bay refers to the news as "the end of the rebellion" and it's hard not to agree. I also think that it would be naive to assume that TPB has been a trivial...
• Commented on "It's something called the Internet"
  Hulu is just one more incidence of the trend to create and enforce anarchronistic geopolitical borders online. The whole point of the internet is connection. Can you imagine a phone company refusing to connect your call because you were calling...
• Commented on Abbey Ryan's painting of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
  This painting tells me that I have the midnight munchies. Damn - why is all my bread mouldy?...
• Commented on What makes us happy?
  Happiness is life - the life of a Harvard Business Graduate. It's so nice to know that Harvard Business Graduates are likely to amount to something by the time they're forty. The life expectancy in Zambia is less than forty...

  Yo mama's so fat she calls Joe the Plumber when she gotta urinary tract infection. Yo mama's so fat she eats all the wild animals and being made governor of Alaska was getting put on a diet. Yo mama's so...
• Commented on StupidFilter: Bayesian filtering for "stupidity"
  This filter actually measures statistical divergence from standard English rather than stupidity but the link is definitely worth a visit for the eminently t-shirtable FAQ entry: Do you really expect to be able to detect and filter anything that's conceivably...
