This cover is really damn cool. The style is much more subversive and less XXXXTREME.

And congratulations!

@9,

Despite agreeing with all the pro-liberty posts on boingboing, I must agree they're getting old. But they're still interesting, and perhaps a little bit of woe makes the wonderful seem moreso ;)

One glorious day I will be free to put whatever I want into my body and my body into whatever I want.

My first reaction was disgust -- porn of an artist who has passed? POOR TASTE.

But then I thought about it for a moment. It's not like they put a gun to his head and made him shoot a threesome flick. If I had shot a porno and died, I don't think I'd mind people releasing it. Also I would be dead, so it's not like I could really give two shits!

Cowicide,

Rule 34, word rape. (Clippy!?)

@22,

We won't get a creationism debate out of this unless it has already been deemed appropriate by the intelligent designer. Don't dream to be at HIS level.

This headline is loaded and the comparison drawn is (to my knowledge) very incorrect. I believe the actual rule is that you can't publish, say, "Book of Super Awesome Dragons" for 3.5 and 4.0 at the same time. It has to be one or the other. It's not that, say, Green Ronin can't publish a book in the 4.0 ruleset just because they publish for other systems (like true20) as well. They just can't publish the same material for both systems.

Making a game play itself is a little thing I like to call gamesturbation.

Spectacular. It just wants to be left the hell alone.

This is getting pretty asinine. I hope the public backlash starts gettin' bigger. Good on him for potentially taking this to court.

And what is up with the random street people assisting in detaining some damn photographers? Pathetic.

Cowicide,

Good news, but it's very sad that it took this long. I hope we leave our current paranoia phase behind soon. Something tells me that won't happen.

That is an extremely fun bit of nerd-dom. It must have been an intense feeling, to stumble upon something that is basically lost to the world (even if only very few people care about it!)

@Antinous

(how I wish this had a proper reply function!)

Violent youth revolutionaries are probably inherently noteworthy. Sociopathic ones? Even more!

@Antinous

Just like you, I can't really think of anything but the target when I'm shooting. I'm a very nonviolent person, but like most target shooters, I enjoy the relaxation and focus that comes from target practice. It's like any other high-focus skill, and probably represents an instance of flow state.

The fourth one looks like a futuristic medical band for the psych ward. Wonderful idea, reminds me of the clever sort of things you'll find on etsy.

A wonderful idea, but I fear the 4chan-wrought images will completely wither John's eyes.

Man, people are hating on Coop and giclees pretty hard. I thought BoingBoing was a place of LOVE. I like Coop's work, but don't really dig this recent one. Something about the typeface elements makes it seem cluttered.

One. In a sign of a deep lack of professionalism, this lucky chimp has let his instrument deteriorate. It should have more pride in being allowed to participate in the rituals of higher primates. FOR SHAME, CHIMP.

There's a bit of a logical leap in the interpretation of these results. Neurobiology is rarely as simple as cause->effect, but the activation does lend itself to the interpretation that the root of the thought is created before the thought is conscious.

I'd love to see some work with more complicated tasks. Also, were there signals that did not occur before a button push? Could the activation indicate a decision point?

Japan never discriminates against filthy, dirty gaijin.

If you don't like the industry, reinvent it, apparently. Pretty hot.

Absolutely wonderful. Seriously considering a purchase of this.

He doesn't just litigate vs. soundalike commercials, he does it when they ask him to use a song, he says no, and then they basically copy it.

Hot damn! I purchased the $5 version, but the server was madly swamped. Solution? After paying and being unable to download, I simply downloaded the whole thing from piratebay.

They were definitely unprepared for the success of the online sale, I have still yet to hear from the store support for my link being unusable. Not that it matters now.

#17,

What they're doing isn't lost on me, I just don't think it's very funny. Awkward comedy can be delicious, but I find the show to be very forced.

Man. Honestly, the whole Tim & Eric show is pretty awful. Tom Goes to the Mayor at least had context for the humor, this brand is really just the "random" style of humor that doesn't require, well, humor.

What the hell does this topic have to do with omnivore vs. vegetarian ragefest?

Very interesting idea though. Training crows to be useful parasites for cities? Could be neat.

I think this is kind of cool. As long as he enjoys it, why bash?

@Rob Cockerham:
I'm pretty sure I've produced a million sperm. And skin cells. I'm a god-damned overachiever!

Well, isn't that just dandy.

@1, my girlfriend said the same thing when I showed her Audrey's work a while ago! Kind of makes me wish I had taken art history as an undergrad.

Audrey is the bee's knees.

This seems very familiar. Was this posted here before?

Congratulations! That's a mighty long name.

To quote my girlfriend: "Didn't we blow up Afghanistan so this wouldn't happen?"

I kind of agree. This is awful.

That beats the hell out of the fire and brimstone college campus brigades.

The picture is surreal. He's like some kind of magical modern Dadaist.

Nice execution, but the design is janked hard from Tubbypaws' papercraft model.

There's no controversy without contacting someone in charge. It was just done by some graphic designer who was trying to make a cute holiday pic, not some monolithic entity that is aware of the sweet irony of its copyright reel running every 2.5 seconds while they nab other people's pics. The person who did it was irresponsible, but hell, when's the last time we broke copyright online too? So really, the story is 'graphic designer whose views on copyright we don't know may or may not be hypocritical'.

I hate Fox as a network quite a bit, but this is reaching for a reason to shout.

I'll second the call to enjoy all the street food you can: Currywurst, Doner, Gyro, Pretzel, scarf it down. You might gain some weight, but you'll miss it for the rest of your life.

I doubt there will be any still running, but if you can get to a Weihnachtsmarkt or something similar, enjoy yourself some Thuringer.

We should call them the reason we can't have nice things in this world.

Gelaskins makes amazing products. My laptop is rockin' an Amy Sol skin, I could not recommend them more! A very cool incentive :)

I'm pretty sure I want the time back that it took me to look at that. I demand a Boingboing refund!

How much do I pay for this again? Oh. Shoot.

Note that you can move up and down. You don't have to get a wife. You get more scenery points out of it, but less treasure options. That's the gameplay grit.

The message? Interesting. Unusually thought-provoking for such a simple concept. The idea of a memento mori game also tickles me.

That pickup line always works on those rascally green women.

I saw an ad for one of these a few years back (an ad in a store window of a non-computer store, at that), and it seemed kind of ridiculous.

Has anyone used one of these before?

You can develop good systems for soldiers without much field testing, you just need to follow good usability guidelines and -make sure- to get soldier input! Then anything terribly wrong comes out in small trials.

At the institute I work at, there's been discussion over when this would happen. A few of our professors have worked on UCAVs, and the interesting thing is the debate over when the UCAV will be allowed to fire ordinance without a human pulling the trigger.

Ignoring the politics, it opens an interesting question now that the first human-assisted UCAV kill has been made.

Love the colors! The tattoo and the back line becoming the tail are a nice touch, but I'm honestly not a big fan of the way the face looks on her.
