"We didn't attempt to silence Violet. We unpublished our own work. There's a big difference between that and censorship."

Interesting that I can't find my previous comment that I submitted in this discussion - basically pointing out what would happen if commenters would want to "unpublish" their own comments.

Censorship?

@5: If a PCSO also volunteers as a special constable, what powers does he have? He's grinding, so does he level up?

It's possible that he's referring to papers on architecture in Harry S. Truman's presidential archive. But, if so, which ones?

"Everybody has seen The Truman Papers."

Not me. What *is* he referring to?

Tenure is pretty much non-existent in the UK. As a lecturer, James Ferryman has all the job security of a normal full-time job.

And keeping trade secrets for competitive advantage is, um, well-known. The SAFEE project includes a number of commercial partners.

Having cameras at each seat for this could also enable seat-to-seat video conferencing. Dump the kids in cattle class and check up on them with the camera...

Note that it's 'Creme Egg' - not 'Cream Egg'.

Truth in advertising plays a role here; were it advertised as Cream, it would have to contain real cream. Hence the marketing of sound-alike Creme, which is free of such tedious obligations.

This applies elsewhere - in Starbucks franchises across the US, a Vanilla Creme (formerly Vanilla Steamer) is steamed milk with vanilla flavouring. No cream, other than the fake whipped-cream stuff. In the UK Starbucks, the "Vanilla Cream" is a cold frappucino drink. With cream. And you'll have to ask for your steamed milk some other way.

It's the kind of artificial distinction of wording that only a professional writer would care about.

Cory,

care to tell us how much The Guardian paid you for the intellectual property that is your 800-word article?
I'm thinking irony - and hypocrisy.

Read up on Temple Grandin and her work in making animals as humanely relaxed as possible before being slaughtered.

has an interesting critique.

(this comment system needs some sort of score voting. I'd mod myself +5 informative.)

By dispensing these bodysuits, Travelodge can now cut down on changing sheets and anti-bedbug measures, decreasing their associated costs. This will benefit Travelodge shareholders immensely.

Nautilus? That seems a little... shellfish.

Ah, the vowel removal is applied by BoingBoing to articles that they don't approve of, and don't want others to read.

That says a lot about BoingBoing.
