DHS grounds air marshalls for having names similar to the no-fly list

Maybe the air marshals should get those "I am not a terrorist" Preferred Flyer passes issued by the gub'mint?

New York Sun column: "Why I Let My 9-Year-Old Ride the Subway Alone"

I can totally respect the lesson this lady was trying to impart, and it is ridiculous to suggest that she's guilty of child abuse.

It is not, however, something I'd do with a child that young.

Truth about teleportation

February 15, 2008 2:04pm

@Derek,

Time to get super nerdy.

There's a TNG episode where they accidentally make a twin of Riker. Something bad happens with the transporter, and "our" Riker returns to the ship, and a new Riker gets left on the planet. Two complete Rikers.

If the transporter is actually moving physical bits through space, we should have ended up with two half Rikers (gross), right?

After that episode, I began to look at the transporter very differently - it sure seems to be sending quantum state information and making a "new" you at your destination.

I'm with #6, you'd have to condition the heck out of me to get me on one of those things. Consider our two Rikers. The "real" one doesn't share in the awareness, or consciousness, of the second, right?

Has Hillary Clinton seen the video for the Golden Earring song she plays?

Yeah, the lens flare was pretty great, but come on. "How fast can you whip *yours* out?" has to be the best marketing come-on (sorry) of all time.

Boing Boing hoodies 24% off: GAMA-GO 24 hour sale!

This hoodie is really sharp looking, and I like it very much. That doesn't mean that those of us who also recognize that $120 (or $91) is a damn expensive hoodie are wrong, or that we should shut up and go to WalMart. Also, while the design of this is really very impressive, "wearable art" doesn't come in batches of 600.

Amnesty's Unsubscribe Me video reenacts CIA stress-position torture

@Kevitivity

I would argue that defending your nation's propensity for torture does more to smear its reputation than an Amnesty International video could.
