But, really, how is this any different from the smilin' piggies on rib shacks?

Hmmm... I could really go for some BBQ right now. Sweet piggy goodness!

It's a testament to the Ramones that the song rocks, even on ukulele.

"I can't really accept listening to a song out of the context of the album to which it belongs. I believe that albums should be listened to as complete works, not just anthologies of musical vignettes. "

Wow? Really? I can see preferring to listen to whole albums. But if you truly "can't really accept listening to a song out of the context of the album to which it belongs," you have some major issues to work through.

Ugh! They're creepy enough on-screen. Way worse in physical form.

It needs a companion box that continually flips the switch back on.

My Sony Xplode has USB, CD/MP3 disc, aux jack in, and an iPod connector.

That said, an onboard SD slot would be less obtrusive than a big-ass USB/SD connector sticking out.

Do not want.

(Oh, c'mon. Had to be said. Of course, I'm downloading it right now.)

Replacements: Left of the Dial 3:44

Oh no. You've stumbled upon the vast global conspiracy. Coffee is indeed brown juice spat from Salvador Dali.

That's why you should be drinking tea instead.

I'm not the kind of guy who gets off on weaponry.

And I *still* want to buy these!

I wonder how Stikfas hands compare to Lego hands, size-wise. I can't believe I haven't checked on that yet.

I love and hate tips like these. Love 'em because they're so great. Hate 'em because I never, ever woulda thought of it.

Poor Psion. So far ahead of their time.

I wonder if my Revo and Series 5 still work?

Of course they're that stupid. What would lead anyone to think otherwise?

Going vegan looks better and better all the time. Too bad I love BBQ so.

Just don't feed him after midnight.

I'd want to bevel the edges on the holes a bit.

You can diss my Mac all you want. Just leave the BeOS alone! And my Amiga!

Busch Gardens in Williamsburg is doing similar stunts. Theirs is a whole hand deal.

Funny, I don't remember being notified of their privacy policy when I bought the pass.

On the other hand, it's almost worth living in a police state for that awesome dive coaster of theirs. But you really do need to be in the front row, despite their claims.

Fun commercial!

Test drove a Pontiac once. Drove like a brick.

There's nothing wrong about the Monkees. They were a great band.

"can be frequently improved with a bullet"

Hard to do with a single bullet. But if you line 'em up and have a rail gun...

I love that they call their little Islamic terrorists "bandits."

I want human-sized Lego weapons. (No, not really.)

I hope he's paid the appropriate licensing fees for these performances.

And let's not forget that all they need to do is find a couple confederates in order to bring in an arbitrarily large amount.

Which is sadder? TSA or its apologists?

When Mr. Happy is hesitant to do his thing, just multiply 2 or 3 digit numbers in your head. Distracts you just enough to get things going.

Sounds like you need an OLPC XO-1 with the hand-charger.

Boy, I used to hate inconsistencies, but then I realized that I was reading fiction.

I don't know which I like more: The boombox-based stereo system or the hair-dryer-based heating system.

I didn't find the dialog any more political than most episodes of Star Trek.

That's why you keep most of your tea safe in the teapot while doling out small amounts into your teacup.

I need trepanation like I need a hole in my...

Never mind.

The day I can't enjoy a frickin' monster movie because I think it put frickin' quote marks in the wrong place is the day I blow my own frickin' head off.

Hey! just like BeOS PE!

So, the point of this post was what?

Let's sic these idiots on him:
http://www.dozier-internet-law.info/

Yes, of course, any fun and whimsy invalidates everything NASA does.

Ah, I was expecting monsters, not bugs.

We need to modify that diagram to conform with God's standards.

Footprint matters. Especially on a plane, in coach.

Next you'll be posting this one:

(Which is mine, but pertinent to the discussion. Maybe.)

A hook is a hook, no matter the small (the bitrate).

I have a snoring sensor. It's called my wife.

And my electric blanket was $40.

Love the book. Wanted to give it to my brother, but couldn't bear to part with it.

Is the distribution of change in a jar homogeneous? Or would the smaller coins fall to the bottom with agitation?

Except didn't the RIAA just claim that ripping your own CDs is illegal?

I'd like to see that get more play. It might actually get the public to give a damn.

I, too, love my electric toothbrush.
(Although it's not as fancy as Fry's.)

Can we have the goatse post back instead?

Franko, you rock. Thanks.

But now my wife is really gonna kill me. I've been playing digitized vinyl the past couple weeks and she's already annoyed at the sound quality. What's she gonna say about wax cylinders?

That's why I confine my browsing to AOL and MSN.

And just stick with what CNN and Fox News tell me.

(Some of us actually enjoy comparing feature sets.)

This one doesn't really look like a turkey.

My favorite coding font is Ti92Pluspc. Slashed zeros and a clear difference between the number one and a lower-case L make it a winner. It's part of a TI-89/92 emulator, I think.

I can see I'm gonna be spending some time on your site.

You can follow my profile link to get some versions I can guarantee you don't have, nor probably want. :)

falalalala: "current Christmas count is 7579 on the server"

Sweet! You win! And the next time my wife complains that I'm buying too much xmas music, I'll mention you.

Don't forget to provide a little financial support, if you like listening to the station.

Of course, it makes me have to choose between soma and the 586 xmas songs on the home server. (If only those 11 CDs I ordered would arrive.)

I was thinking small intestines.

Imagine if it was the Leningrad Cowboys.

Maybe they should get help with their terms and conditions page from those fine folks at Dozier Internet Law, P.C.?

Well, that's better than the misogynistic ones I've been seeing on Gizmodo lately.

So, is there this whole mass of people who love Led Zep, but don't already have CDs? Maybe there is. I dunno.

I have the same question about the Beatles.

Actually, to their credit, they do have a page about copyright infringement that never once calls it theft.

Of course, I can't link to it without their permission. :)

My actual favorite parts are:

1) You can't use their name, you can't link to them, and search engines are not allowed to index their site. So how is anyone supposed to find them?

2) They prohibit search engines from indexing the site, but their robots.txt file only disallows a few sub-directories, none of which include their actual content pages. The tech is there to accomplish their desire, but they don't know enough to use it.

Oops! My mistake. I was looking at the Inventor site, not the law firm.

Looks like they already changed it. They still prohibit links and unauthorized references.

In any case, it's really bad HTML. All layout done via tables. All formatting embedded in tags, with no stylesheet in sight. They don't close off their paragraph tags. Hell, they don't even close off some of their table cells. Liberal use of non-breaking spaces to pad things out.

Truly awful.

Needs to be plugged into the wall for power. Does WiFi for the networking. Costs less than $200. (Which would suggest much more than $50.

I want one real bad!

There's a second CD of them playing X tunes.

I'll take evangelicals seriously when they start taking Russell's Teapot seriously.

Teapotarians like myself have suffered for far too long.

Looks like she's saying "WTF, it's so big!"

Just saying.

I keep seeing the red 2008 as a penis.

I don't want to, but that's just what comes to mind.

"seems to result in the socially graceless, self-centered kids with the enormous senses of entitlement you and I run into every day"

Well, I don't actually run into the President all that often, but I know what you mean.

We didn't even get to use zeros and ones. We had to use Os and lower-case Ls.

I would have been able to do the math parts easily at that age.

And I was certainly not MIT material.
(I know because they told me so.)

I'd do it myself, but it's so damn hard holding those teeny tiny spray paint cans.

I took a quick look. You can upload photos to Flickr via email. So you could probably combine iAlertU with some AppleScript that kicks off the capture as email to Flickr.

For Tub, this is close:
http://www.lifehacker.com/software/theft/hack-attack-turn-your-macbooks-isight-into-a-ftp-backed-up-security-camera-207605.php

I dunno if Flickr has a command line interface. Sadly, its uploader program isn't AppleScriptable.

Is it just me or does this guy look like a hung-over Henry Rollins?

Jews drink the blood and eat the flesh of Gentile children during Passover.

And this is where we get the phrase "Holy infant, so tender and mild."

Oh no, wait, it's okay:

"This is a site for officers getting traffic tickets that ANY normal civilian could get a warning on, verbal or written."

Oh yeah! Tempest! I want both classic Tempest and a port of Tempest 2000 from the Jaguar. (I still regret selling mine.)

And then I want a roller-ball for Reactor!

The confusion about Saturday open/close times doesn't matter. No one shops then.

I don't think anyone here is arguing that this is the optimal way to show the info. But it's posted as a confusing example and plenty of folks here don't find it at all confusing, given it's purpose.

Stop looking at it from an uber-geek perspective and pretend to be just a normal person. (That's not directed at a specific individual, just a general recommendation.) In other words "step outside yourself."

The chart is designed to show one thing, when it's busy. Normal people are just going to say, oh, it's really busy from 1 to 7 on Saturdays. They're not going to say, oh I wish this was three concentric circles synced to Internet time with the color intensity values mapped to mean customer density.

I understand all the reasons that this is a technically bad info-graphic.

But, still, it made immediate sense to me. I know it shouldn't, but it did.
