Magnetic money clip made from a dollar bill
June 24, 2008 8:06am
I had some friends back in college who had some giant hard drive magnets. They usually were stuck to the metal of the circuit breaker box on the wall, and took a couple minutes of hard wrestling to pull off.
Once, though, they put the magnets in their pockets and walked around for an hour with various forks and knives stuck to the outside of their pants. It was pretty cute, but then one of them did indeed realize that he had the magnet right next to his wallet and his credit card didn't work the next day.
So, even if this money clip isn't enough to do the trick, it is possible to wipe your cards if you are toting around a fierce enough permanent magnet.

I think you should implement a filter such that if any statement in a comment is false, then it gives the "text entered was wrong" error. If they are all true, then it lets the comment through.
Just think about how much more accurate and factual our conversations could be. As a nice side benefit, mathematicians and scientists could use it to determine the validity of their theorems and hypotheses without all that painstaking hard work.

This is notably less stupid in the actual interview than in the blog-commentary-on-the-interview to which this blog-commentary-on-a-blog-commentary links.

I keep hearing about this movie here on Boing Boing, but I never see a release date or any other information about when or how it will be possible to view, which makes it hard to get too excited about it.

This link seems broken. I'm getting a 403 error.

Maybe this comment is going to be immediately discounted because I don't leave a lot of comments, and maybe there are more than enough people speaking their minds in this thread already, but I am mildly upset by this action which contradicts what I thought were Boing Boing's core values.
