• Commented on Man's Medical History Reads Like a Horror Novel
  @ #8, Metallica actually based that on the book "Johnny Got His Gun". Fairly good read....
• Commented on Sex Education for the mentally handicapped
  #14 I agree with "differently-abled". I'm (physically) disabled, so I get pissy at anyone saying things like that or DisAbled. Bleh, they're trying too hard. I'd much rather they not emphasize the word, instead focusing on getting people to look...
• Commented on Delete this book
  I have to say, it's a bit creepy that Amazon is able to remotely delete files off of the Kindle. It's also a bit unfortunate that they had to delete those books, considering what that may sound like. The best...
• Commented on Boing Boing t-shirts
  Too bad those are too expensive for me, they're really nice shirts. I will gladly accept donations *begs shamelessly*....
• Commented on Oh, beautiful for Palin's lies
  Agreed @#10, Her face is all out of proportion. The eyes are too buggy, the nose is kind of small for her face, and that grin is just creepy. Plus, she's generally an ugly person, and that tends to seep...
• Commented on Australian govt memo, 1968: Women become "spinster battle axes;" "men usually mellow"
  Oh, this is a gem. Best parts: >"...where there are no other major drawbacks, such as the Islamic attitude towards women..." Yes, they have it down pat. >"...a relatively young attractive woman could operate with some effectiveness, in a subordinate...
• Commented on Creepy vintage print ads
  @ #14, Hey, it'll be vintage someday....
• Commented on Stephenie Meyer vs. 4chan -- XKCD
  That's Twilight, not however I spelled it. Sorry....
• Commented on Stephenie Meyer vs. 4chan -- XKCD
  As of right now, it is still the Twighlight Appreciation Station. Someone needs to track this....
• Commented on Dirty ISPs can sabotage the nation's digital future
  I have satellite internet (worst.thing.ever) and it's metered. Well, I'm actually limited to 425mb a day, but I'd have to pay more if I wanted more bandwidth (but it caps at 500mb a day, so it's not worth it). It's...
• Commented on Dalek wedding cake
  #3 Hey, some of those guys were hot. I have a crush on Jamie myself. (Kilt action! Woo!) :D What's bad is I want that for my wedding. Too bad I haven't convinced my boyfriend that Doctor Who is the...
• Commented on Martha Mason, who spent 60 years in an iron lung, RIP
  Major kudos to this woman. I know how it sucks to have devices stuck into me for mobility, on a lesser scale. (I have to use a spinal cord stimulator. It's a pacemaker attached to leads embedded in the spine....
• Commented on Ad: Honeywell's Electronic Mail
  It's magic!...
• Commented on Hawking rushed to hospital
  He'll pull through, I know it. He doesn't seem to be the kind of guy that wouldn't pull through without a fight....
• Commented on The new Apple ads
  #1, I agree completely. These sort of commercials make me embarrassed to own a Mac. I admit, I got a little giggle out of one, but it felt as though it was almost hedonistic....
• Commented on Free money for sf writers over 50
  Ha. My mom's done some non-published writing on her own, so I just told her about this. It'd be cool if she won it....
• Commented on Haunting photo-essay on rotting buildings in Detroit
  I usually love photos of abandoned places, but seeing so much from Detroit is so depressing. They need to just abandon the place outright or revitalize it. This mix of humanity and ruins is just depressing....
• Commented on Please take the Boing Boing Survey (It works now!)
  I think this is useless to many of us. This crowd seems to be more computer-friendly, and probably uses something like AdBlock Plus. Forgot to mention that in the comments section, but it's true. Oh, and NoScript, for those of...
• Commented on Sita Sings the Blues is finally free!
  I liked it personally. It was oddball in a sort of Monty Python sort of way. The first 30 minutes I found difficult to work through but once it got going, it didn't let go. Hell, I was exhausted when...
• Commented on Obamasnacks - banned in Indonesia
  Okay, bickering does not help your case. I don't care about your political views, this is just giving me a bad taste in my mouth. (Shouldn't have come into a political convo. *sigh*) *ahem* And I like Obama. He has...
• Commented on The games of tomorrow, yesterday: 1982's 'game parlor of the future'
  Can you blame them for not predicting the movement towards home consoles? The arcades of the day were much better than any sort of thing people could use at home....
• Commented on 8Bitpeoples/BlipFest prep Data Pop 09 SXSW chiptune party
  Wish I could go. I own property in Dallas, but I have to live with relatives until I get my health problems sorted out. I'll just go pout in the corner instead, thanks....
• Commented on Why TV Lost: a merry jig on the gogglebox's grave
  I just don't see the point of paying dozens of dollars a month that I may use an hour a day, if that. Besides, I prefer TV in the UK, which can be hard to find in the US unless...
• Commented on Hillbilly Comics: America's Zaniest Hillfolk
  If I may add a joke of my own: My boyfriend worked at 7-11 years ago. He was sitting around joking with his manager one day, and it came up that she was born and raised in rural West Virginia....
• Commented on The world's shortest escalator
  Oddly enough, if it's for accessibility reasons, I couldn't use it. I have a huge limp, so it's less a choice of which foot to use to step on it, but which foot has the lesser chance of me falling...
• Commented on Red states consume more porn?
  Two comments: One, my ultra conservative uncle, who was one of those doctors who refused to take Medicaid patients because he didn't like the idea of people taking state aid (oddly enough, he does supports universal healthcare *shrug*), was a...
• Commented on Steve Jobs takes 6 months off from Apple
  Borrowing money from my mother to buy Apple stock. I'll just have to remember to sell it the day before Jobs retires. Heh....
• Commented on Hoarder died in garbage labyrinth
  I have OCD and I can tell you that hoarding doesn't generally happen. I mean, it can mean a few things of note piling up (like my grandmother, who kept a car that didn't work - she had her reasons,...
• Commented on Hardest-to-understand EULA *ever* when you install WoW on GNU/Linux
  Does anybody actually take the time to read a EULA? Honestly, I probably would have clicked it without even noticing that there was a change. It's a bad practice but, as long as you have reasonable belief that the company...
• Commented on Susie Bright: Raising the Minimum Age for Porn
  Am I the only one who was lead right into that? I took it seriously until the end. Heh. Just like his namesake, it seems....
