• Commented on Mac|Life imagines Apple products of the future
  Can't browse your own mp3z? [CITATION NEEDED] I can certainly see Future Apple requiring everything to go through iTMS before being "printed" on an iMake, I also think it wouldn't be long before some sort of open source software hack...

• Commented on Jim Muir benefit poster by Shepard Fairey and Glen E. Friedman
  The worst thing about Fairey's Levi's stuff is that he totally phoned it in. I'm not criticizing him for doing commercial work, they guy has bills to pay after all, but he simply took old work, and slapped the Levi's...
• Commented on Peter Bagge comic about Ayn Rand
  Not really. Are we supposed to gasp in horror at Veni Vidi Vici because it was originally used in the context of the murdering of the people of Pontus? I don't think so. Stop jumping at shadows. I really doubt...
• Commented on Conservative children's book vilifies Nancy Pelosi
  @philkus I distinctly remember (and shocking found a link to) The Ollie North Coloring Book. I remember that you were supposed to color Tip O'Neil "blue in the face" and that the picture of two (almost) identical latin american guerillas...

  George Takei as as Chief Physicist Sulu? Well that's just silly. We all know those kinds of people can't do physics. And by "those kinds," I of course mean fencers....
• Commented on Koalas may go extinct in 30 years
  @KeithIrwin I was thinking the same thing, but then I realized that: 1. I'm not a biologist 2. I have no idea what the population of koalas in the world are 3. Apparently the koala population has crashed in recent...

• Commented on URL shorteners suck less, thanks to the Internet Archive and 301Works
  URL shorteners are stupid because it's twitter and the like with their arbitrary character limits that prompted these things. This is a artificial problem....
• Commented on Richard Metzger on Ayn Rand
  @DaneM The reason why people grow out of Ayn Rand, is that in your late teens and early 20s people tend to view world very simplistically. That's why activists, radicals, evangelicals, and true-believers tend to be around this age. Everything...

• Commented on 9/11 Truth and the Paranoid Style
  Obama is equally white. He's the 44th honky cracker president in a row. He even plays golf! While he may not be the Aryan Übermensch because of his ears, but he's clearly Trotsky's New Soviet Man....
• Commented on Large Hadron Collider: Now This Is Just Getting Ridiculous

• Commented on Bicycle defense kit fits in Altoids tin
  @zikzak "Meanwhile, cars kill cyclists, pedestrians, and other drivers constantly. Cars are like the motherfucking plague - a source of death so massive and constant that it fades into the background and becomes an accepted part of life." Yeah, cars...

  You're right that the SFBay has tons of two wheeled pricks, but I've never seen a bicyclist on Highway 17....
• Commented on Bicycle defense kit fits in Altoids tin
  Wait! Where's the spare batteries for the bike light? Where's the reflective tape? Where's the helmet? Where's the handbook for rules of road, including hand signals? Where's the brake pad replacements? Oh, this isn't so much a "bicycle defense kit",...
• Commented on Goldwag: Some thoughts about 9/11 Truth
  Tuthers are republican leaning? None of the truthers I've met have been republican. They've all been crazy hippies. The republicans I know all say "Bush kept us safe! Leaving Florida and springing into action the one time our country was...
• Commented on Saturday Morning Science Experiment: B.F. Skinner Makes A Pigeon Do His Bidding
  @bobk I noticed that you picked the two big boogeymen, unions and [clueless] management, to single out as why pigeons aren't performing pill inspections, but you avoided mentioning the very first one listed in your link: customers complaining about unsanitary...
• Commented on How the DC snipers hacked an ex-police car to make a killing machine
  Well he wasn't very smart was he? The guy was much more crazy than anything. I know you're implying that the media is racist, saying that a serial killer was "smart" when they thought he was white (which the VAST...

• Commented on Canadian folk singer dies after coyote attack
  Coyote attacks are pretty rare, but they occasionally happen. My favorite true story happened maybe 10 or 15 years ago in either Southern Illinois or Southeast Missouri. During deer season, a hunter went out into the woods and climbed up...
• Commented on Trailer for Collapse, a documentary about coming global meltdown
  Well yes, more oil is being made today. The fact is that is that we're pumping it out waaay faster than plants and animals are decaying and becoming oil. To put it another way, your fact is correctly, but completely...
