Commented on One shot: <em>Bioshock</em>, the Paradigm edition
It's a really good design job and great photo. I hate to be picky, but I think even just a little subtle glow from the eyes would really nail it home. I'm actually surprised that was overlooked - unless the...
Commented on Holograms that you can touch and feel
Oh and I was all excited too. Concave mirror!? YAAAWWNN! That's NOT holography, that's visual trickery from old magician stage craft. The air "touch" idea is cool though. Are we ever going to get REAL 3D floating, SOLID color projection...

zyodei commented on Arizona Republic quotes psychics as experts on the future
So it's a "disgusting outrage" if even one person dies because of skepticism concerning the medical establishment, but it's OK if 100,000 people die from prescription drugs, because they have "some potential to cure"? Your logic is outstanding, sir. You are a paragon of reason and rationality, and not sanctimonious in the least. "I have carefully noted the content and nature of your posts here on BB for some time now, and I find a consistent thread of both gross bias and anti-scientific irrationality (not to mention an often nauseating level of sanctimony). You embarrass yourself." Oh, excuse me, you're...
shadowfirebird commented on Arizona Republic quotes psychics as experts on the future
I don't have any problem with the idea that no psychic can reliably predict the future. (After all, if such people exist, they must be very rare, or our world would look rather different.) I certainly have a problem, though, with people who write off all psychics as frauds. Many, many people genuinely believe they have some sort of power and genuinely want to help. Whether they can help is another issue. Whether it is ethical for them to charge for that help is yet another issue. But they are not frauds. Likewise, if I genuinely believe (for example) that...
David Carroll commented on Arizona Republic quotes psychics as experts on the future
For what it's worth Jay, I agree with you that this article could be seen as an example of media pushing trends that really don't exist or are trivial. But to their defence journalists use the same tricks to push issues that have merit. Each reader and media source has their own definition of merit. The Fox network has their teabaggers, and CNN likes to talk-up dead celebrities. With Colbert it's bears. Similarly, Boing Boing comment threads have a life of their own and may not trend the way you or I would like. There is little use complaining about...
siliconsunset commented on Arizona Republic quotes psychics as experts on the future
Oh, you've met people who *seem* to have "psychic" powers? That sounds pretty solid, weasel word and all. Wait, people who are so adept at gathering information that they can fool the average person? Someone so good at using their five sense, they've fooled people into thinking they have a sixth? You should tell all of this to USA Networks so they can make it into a television show. Maybe they can call it "Pysch". Just because someone can tell you about yourself after a short conversation doesn't mean that they have powers, it's more likely that they are rather...
HereticGestalt commented on Arizona Republic quotes psychics as experts on the future
While the point that ethical systems and scientific knowledge are far from unrelated is certainly valid, you're still not making any claims relevant to the domain of ethics here. Your statements are descriptive. Ethics is proscriptive. As Hume noted, one cannot reason from the existence of a state of affairs - people (in Western cultures*) tend to choose to save the child - to a moral imperative for or against that state of affairs - people should choose to save the child. It's called the is-ought problem. *Excellent point, Antinous. As far above the bulk of Internet commenters as BB's...
