I always wear a corset and a dress when I vacuum too -- and I'm a man!

That first scam wouldn't work on me. If there's one thing I've learned from video games, anytime someone drops loot and a second guys picks it up, you should kill the second guy and take the loot for yourself.

What!? 9000?!

My Comcast story begins and ends when I tried to sign up. I was told it would be at least three weeks, because there was still service on my cable line, and I couldn't sign up until it expired.

I thanked the guy for his help and then signed up with AT&T instead.

When I wrote a letter to Comcast's CEO explaining why they had lost my business, I got not one but TWO apologizes over the next two days, offering to connect their service immediately.

AT&T sucks just as much (if not more) but at least they hooked me up quickly and I didn't have to write a letter to the CEO.

Can I have sex in there? Public transit is cheaper than a hotel.

The last hotel I stayed in was so filthy, I wouldn't have even licked the shrink-wrapped plastic cups.

What's NOT wrong with this picture?

Yikes. There should be a law against people like Cory blogging about rap videos.

"I didn't expect a kind of rice..."

"NOBODY expects RICE!"

You can get a REAL banana slug for a lot less than that.

Security via litigation... no that doesn't seem like an effective tactic.

George: Do women know about shrinkage?
Elaine: What do you mean, like laundry?
George: No...
Jerry: Like when a man goes swimming... afterwards...
Elaine: It shrinks?
Jerry: Like a frightened turtle!

Most of Microsoft's applications are pretty good. Outlook, Word, Excel, etc.

But Windows? Pile of crap. There's just no excuse for the absurd level of complexity. Not even their own programmers can handle it.

I find Banshee and Rhythmbox a lot easier to use than Amarok, but Amarok definitely has the features you need.

Still, I prefer good ol' XMMS. It looks exactly like Winamp 2.0 and even supports the same kewl skinz.

This is the same miracle spice that cures Alzheimer's.

Either we should all move to India, or the Turmeric Council is finding creative ways to sell the stuff.

Murder is a "war tactic" too.

So the color profile may break extensions, and it will slow down rendering?

Cool idea, but count me out (for now.)

The part about telling stories, not lectures, was completely ignored by whoever designed Epcot Center.

Knowing Victoria's Secret, the panties were badly made in the first place. More people should sue over these things until manufacturer's take on some responsibility for the quality of their own progress.

More power to her, I say.

Happy birthday

When we had DARE training in elementary school, they warned us that "you shouldn't do drugs because you could go to JAIL!"

It's a stupid argument, but it was my first lesson in recursion. Maybe that's why I'm a software developer now.

If I follow this advice, I will never visit BoingBoing again.

Sorry, but it's true.

Yes, but which shacks survived "Atari-800" or "Commodore-64"?

Ouch. That joke megahertz.

Is this where the CIA buys their cocaine?

If you eat one of these, and you're a man, does that make you gay?

In San Francisco, the hybrid buses have a kill switch that rowdy passengers flip.

Why this switch exists, and why it was in an area accessible to passengers, remains a mystery to those with common sense.

Finally Kucinch does something for America. Look you short freak, we're SICK of you teasing us with your hot young wife. More stuff like this, less teasing.

And yes, Mr. Kucinich, I've voted for you twice. Do SOMETHING dammit!

I liked the story, and the animation is painstakingly fluid. But the models aren't really as well rendered as their Pixar counterparts.

Wow that's awesome. I almost want to make a sandbox for myself.

For you AI buffs, you can use PCA to determine if an image was altered. Should be a cinch to throw something together in Matlab.

Okay, so they don't have cars, gas stoves, or internet access -- yet we're expected to believe they independently developed spray-on tanning?

I call BS.

Now somebody needs to do this for Beat It and West Side Story.

Does JG Ballard know about this?

The second you slide this into a bag or backpack, the chalk will be erased.

I guess that's one way to "take care" of your todo list...

BitTorrent was still just as good of a deal for the artists, last time I checked.

#2: How about accepting the fact that other people have view-points that are different from YOURS?

Not everyone believes the world is a hopeless place where one man can't make a difference.

You can't record American Gladiators? Oh noes!

(BitTorrent FTW.)

ASUS is a top-notch brand. But MSI? Get real.

Steampunk is sooo over. It's only a matter of time before cheap Chinese steampunk home decor is available at Target.

Not to be confused with Abbie Hoffman.

Banishes night wrecks and smashups, ends fear of running over children or animals...

That takes all the fun out of driving.

I used to be an internet addict.

Then I was banned from 4chan.

Please warn us when it's a Super Deluxe link next time so we'll know not to bother clicking on it.

The cigarettes must have given people of the 50's much longer attention spans.

Oh look, a birdie...

Would make a cool level in the next Myst game.

This guy makes Hubbard look like a hack.

We'll need these when the aliens come and disable our ICs.

This story is a bit suspicious-sounding, even for the Guardian.

This guy and the Time Cube guy should have a debate.

I got lulz from this last time I was at Ritual.

The Eastasian army is poisoning our water. What next, our Victory Gin?

Looks like they "forgot" to add pedophilia.

The old Wired magazine logo was cooler.

But the Hotwired logo always sucked, even when the site was bitchin'.

The SDK costs $99. Lame. Even Symbian doesn't charge for their SDK, as far as I know.

What happens if you're already eating horseradish when the alarm goes off?

NERDS!!

Why doesn't he just start a group on Facebook?

You don't need to start a brand new social network for every single possible topic.

Meh. Might be funny if you're drunk.

Cory, you haven't heard of these by now? And you think you're an espresso gee? For shame!

Is it legal to have cameras in the bathroom?

There was something like this at SIGGRAPH last summer. A series of infared LEDs scrolled messages across a black monolith. You could only see the message by pulling out your camera (cell phone camers worked fine) and watching it on your screen.

But the LEDs certainly weren't bright enough to overwhelm the camera.

I'm more than weary of the hysterics surrounding "waterboarding" by U.S. interrogators. See the article at...

So morality can now be measured in seconds?

Because a gunshot is pretty damn quick. If you look at it that way, war isn't such a big deal.

If you believe this story, I've got a bridge to sell you.

No really. A 4-ton railway bridge, to be exact.

Is it just me, or does that chart look a bit phallic?

Wait, people think it's safe to visit UAE? That's news to me!

Es war um 1780

MYTHBUSTERS!!

He was probably on drugs and got freaked out.

Life imitates Seinfeld?

Sure you'll giggle and act stupid, but no other drug lets you see the world's underlying geometry. Did you know everything is made out of Legos when you look hard enough? I didn't, until I tried salvia divinorum.

Still, I'd rather do acid.

Apple is like the bitchy IT guy who won't help you but still demands a hefty paycheck.

The bats have left the bell tower.

Where do I get the rest of the tunnel?

Something tells me this would cause serious injuries in an accident.

*Especially* with glass bottles.

It's your NAME that makes you a terrorist. Not something you've done, not something you've been suspected of doing -- but your NAME.

So if there are any other Osama bin Laden's around, you're a terrorist too!

Great! Now I can download all the music I want, and my neighbor will get in trouble instead of me!

This doesn't look ADA compliant.

Saw these at SIGGRAPH '07. A lot of the display models were broken. I thought they felt cheap (duh) especially the keyboard. The plastic was not sturdy.

And the software was incredibly confusing.

The OLPC people might be able to make these on the cheap but what will it cost to fix them, provide upgrades, etc.?

The daughter is just kind of stupid and spoiled.

The real crime here is the mother's eye makeup.

@ Anaxaforminges:

Jump in a car and head down to Mountain View for all your Wal-Mart needs.

Or on second thought, don't. The place is dirty, the employees are zombies, and the prices aren't any better than Target.

Gay Bar is the best presidential mashup.

Why should the owners be responsible? They should ticket the animals.

That looks rad.

Are the trains driverless? Modern train systems don't really *need* a driver, and it would be cool to sit up front.

Some of these sound like rock band names Dave Barry came up with.

Would it be possible to recycle the oil on my face into a new razor?

Looks like the shit has hit the fan!

I read the headline as "1968 penises."

A gallon of 1968 penises is worth far more than $500.
