• Commented on Store won't put kid's controversial name on cake
  A private business has the right to refuse any individual they want. Nobody can require you to sell something with "Adolph Hitler" on it. If the parents were just looking for a birthday cake, they wouldn't be insisting the kid's...
• Commented on TNH FTW! A final post and a question for you.
  Personal computers will plateau in functionality. The point-and-click interface is a steering wheel: it's good enough and there isn't really money to be had in looking for much else. Video games will keep moving to dedicated platforms and the interesting...
• Commented on Boing Boing on GOOD: "All the Web's A Stage"
  In the future... there will be more short-term limited range celebrities than there are now, but it won't be anywhere near "everyone." Even in very wired first world countries, most people don't have blogs, and most people use the internet...

• Commented on Fluxx -- Nomic card game
  Here's the trick behind Calvinball: You have to be six years old and play with an imaginary friend. Otherwise you're really just *pretending* to play Calvinball. And like others have said: almost every card in Magic: the Gathering is rule-altering...

  Here's the better solution: spend a little bit of extra money and get an office quality laserjet for black & white documents. consumer printers are ripoffs and scams, but for the office market the manufacturers actually compete on quality....

• Commented on Bigfoot press conference a bust
  Of *course* that's what the mainstream press would say. They'd never let something like that out. It's a conspiracy, and I can prove it. Just check on Youtube soon....

• Commented on The 5 greatest things ever accomplished while high
  How about this one: The origins of the Vedic religion? Hard to argue that one, I'd say, and it has a lot to do with the founding of Hinduism and Buddhism, which thanks to the roads opened by Alexander's empire,...
• Commented on Found: massive number of endangered gorillas
  This isn't good news for the gorillas. *THEY* knew they were there. We just found them. This has a distant potential of not being bad news, but that's about the most positive thing you can say for it. As to...

  This clip reminds me of the Monks' german TV performances in ~65/66. If you like experimental garage that was about 20 years ahead of its time, you should check those out too....
• Commented on Does MacBook's rumored glass trackpad mean secondary <i>displays?</i>
  You wouldn't want this to replace a keyboard. I tried out one of those PDA keyboards that project a QWERTY pattern onto a flat table once. Not being able to rest your fingers against a surface means your hands tire...

• Commented on Goldfish with pierced lip
  Speaking as someone who guiltlessly eats a lot of fish: I don't care. Are there really so many people living Jainist-level lives of compassion and nonviolence that can really claim honest indignation over this? On the scale of cruelty, it's...
• Commented on US Gov't torture playlist stickers
  I'm sorry. But the profits of professional entertainers and the convenience of record store staff are hardly the big concerns here. As 90% of our society consists of someone else's property, if civil disobedience has to carefully tiptoe around these...
