Wow, how does this apply to laptops running common multi-user operating systems?

"Who is actually this paranoid?"

Normal people get a little upset when the odds of them being removed from their home and senselessly tortured rises above zero.

Aren't we all hiding our super secret files somewhere online, yet?

So do I know too many Jimbos, or not enough???

"I don't understand the Ben Stein slam. I haven't seen his film so I'm not qualified to criticize it or endorse it, but my understanding was that he attempts to address the possibility of intelligent design as an origin of life. Creatures evolve, there's no doubt about that, but I thought Stein was asking if it was possible that some supreme being brought life to these evolving creatures in the first place. Does he come out and say that species don't evolve? Again, I'm just wondering, as I haven't seen the film."

Yeah, maybe you should see the film before commenting on it. Just like Ben Stein should've learned about evolution before making a movie about it.

Takanu: "just make him walk around for a month with the text hung around his neck"

What'll happen? He'll get nagged to death?

"Uh, the government doesn't refer to it as 'Area 51', but nice try."

When are they going to get rid of the rest of the obscenity?

Drink when I'm thirsty? What if, whenever I get thirsty, I get a headache and can drink three liters of water before I have to use the bathroom?

Thanks for the medical advice, Boing Boing!

As a Turkish person, I am deeply offended by this slur. (It's gonna happen!)

I agree with Robert. Last time I stopped a black man and asked him what is was like to be a lazy criminal who loved certain foods and he got all upset and I still didn't understand what the big deal is.

Antinous: "100 hours of community service and a £60 fine for making someone's life hell? That's an incentive to do it again."

It's also an incentive to have it done to you.

This is just the tip of the finger, which normally can grow back in children under the age of five.

"This is BS. The child abuse hysteria in the 80's and 90's proved otherwise. Children are easily influenced by even well meaning adults. The memories of the children in the McMartin case (and in countless others) were contaminated by their parents and the social workers.

We are social creatures and our sense of reality is defined by the community we find ourselves in."

Well, we all look forward to the thoughtful scientific analysis you are working on for us in order to show us that you aren't just pulling stuff out of your ass.

Ah, someone should start a "Mass Hysteria" blog.

"The site seems to be back online now.

"The "fuck you" message is NOT necessarily implicit in the use of graffiti as communication.

It IS, however, implicit in that sign.

I believe the term is "projection"?"

Wow, your terse claims convinced me to ignore the well written scientific papers and the subject.

"Then again, maybe he was shopping for his nephew's birthday, you jackass."

If that's what you really think, can you explain why you think he had such a difficult time making a purchase?

"no one believed he'd actually hit it. It's like shooting at farmers from helicopters"

Or, you know, putting the ball into a whole smaller than a bird a few hundred yards away...

"I am glad that at least one person noted the cow-orker typo."

I'm glad at least one person thinks it was a typo.

"Was it only 60 or so years ago, when the Nazis were bombing the crap out of London when THIS POSTER appeared in London with a simple message from the King?

A simple message that, today, has been forgotten by just about everyone?"

Luckily you haven't told us what that message is, so that we can continue to live free and without fear.

Awesome; I could watch those talks for hours. Too bad I don't fly.

So everyone is calling and reporting all the suspicious behavior they see, right?

Why do faux-government pork projects like this go through? Who is electing these corrupt leaders?

"I sense a new business model; sell ads on glaciers. The money can go to climate change research, and remediation."

Great, do something that ruins the environment to do something that does absolutely nothing to improve the environment but will make some people money. Sounds like it will work.

"Swapping floppy discs"

Because it's so much different that swapping other forms of computer media, much less other "things".

#1: "Why are they still looking for this guy if he's known to be wielding nothing more dangerous than a tripod?"

If this were Boston, they'd want to arrest him for possessing a hoax device.

I think what is hurting Newspapers is their lack of journalistic integrity and ability.

Why would a female reporter do an expose on a law that subjugates women? It's like when I see women carrying anti-abortion signs...

"Are you suggesting that the crowd could somehow have given them a sitting ovation? ;-)"

Well, if I were there, I would've joined in, which would've made the reanimation a little awkward.

“Although this was ultimately a drill the [Boston Police Department] would not have responded any differently." ~ Elaine Driscoll, spokeswoman for the Boston Police Department, http://news.bostonherald.com/news/regional/general/view.bg?articleid=1070227

"Does anyone know if video is protected as well?"

No, in fact, better close your eyes.

Wow, I have that white mug. It belonged to my grandfather.

Ah, so in the future the only historic monuments we have left will be those made by people whose children are Internet stars?

Wow, they let women be TV anchors in Korea?

"That said, it's kind of prickish to write "fuck you" to the clerks who didn't give you the ticket and had nothing to do with your case. Fight it in court, protest, raise a ruckus, but this just makes him seem like surly asshole."

Really? How prickish is it for someome to think that they get to tell people what they can say? Seems pretty prickish to me, almost as if they should have some rule against it.

[b]Probably[/b] an urban legend? What made us think it wasn't?

It says something about these people that they thought they saw something a mile and a half long in the sky.

BoingBoing is now passing on stories made up by the British House of Lourds? How royal!

"Guests are people I know and have invited to share my hospitality, not a stranger who pulls up outside my house hoping to score some free web access."

We are all in this together, but we all die alone.

I don't get it; once the woman saw what tearing up the picture did to that girl, why did she stop? Why didn't she tear up more pictures?

The way she just stands there awkwardly is pretty suggestive of bad scripting.

"Man that's terrible.

Yes, leaving a note was incredibly stupid."

Because, you know, leaving the empty room to be found by future residents with no hint to the house's problems, so that the current residents could experience its affects without having any idea what is going on would be much nicer and incredibly intelligent?

"The shoes still make her look more attractive."

Well, on actually attractive women, they look ridiculous.

I'm glad these psychopaths are being caught. People who can't handle the power of owning a laser pointer ruin life for everyone else.

Funny, why isn't one of them, "Because pseudoscience isn't science"?
