Security and the statistics of rare events

May 20, 2008 1:38pm

Great Article! One of our best yet. I often use the arguments of statistics and logic with ny wife, but she still seems to live in fear a bit too much for liking. Any advice on how to use these points to win over friends and family?

Discovery of the Mile High Comics collection

#8 posted by jim.cowling - "He overcharges for recent, low-value issues (missed a copy of a book last year? It'll cost you double retail), too." - Ya know, the place is called Mile High Comics, not because it is in Denver, but because of the prices he charges! - On a related note, I have 18500 comics up for sale. Anyone want them? Please, help me pay off my student loans!

Jonestown death tape: audio from the last hours of a mass suicide

February 19, 2008 12:00pm

Oh man, why did I listen?

I thought Boing Boing was a directory of wonderful things. This is the exact opposite of wonderful.

I know I am going to have audio nightmares tonight.

Cloverfield's visual gaffe -- stuff movie sf usually gets wrong

January 24, 2008 6:22am

Here is my 2 cents...

I have to disagree with #23 "New Yorkers would never rename the Park." - I disagree. Think of this in light of post 9/11. The World Trade Center, a New York landmark, has now been renamed (for better or for worse) "Ground Zero" in the popular vernacular. Six plus years later, and people in the city (from my experience, I'm not a New Yorker, but I visit NYC every other month) no longer refer to it as the WTC, but as Ground Zero. My take on the film was, now that Central Park, as we know it, is now gone, it has been redubbed "Cloverfield".

My only nitpick was we weren't told the origin of the term "Cloverfield". Other then that, I enjoyed it for what it was.

You're welcome to disagree with me. This is just my opinion. We all have 'em!

Is it a fly holder? - You use it to fold a fish hook while you tie the fly around it. - Any anglers out there? - Longboxes

Video compilation of television logo signoffs

August 28, 2007 9:29am

Until this moment, I didn't quite realize how much of my childhood was spent/waisted in front of the television. Darn, I nearly teared up when Stephen J Cannell pulled the piece of paper from the typewriter! (on a side note, some one once told me that his type writer from this clip is now in the Smithsonian. Truth, or urban legend? I've never taken the time to find out for myself.)
