When creationists bring up the second law they conveniently leave out the "closed" part.

"The entropy of a closed system cannot decrease."

TSOL: and the flouride in the water is for mind control.

not sure what software david uses, but most of the ripping software i've used uses freedb.org's database. You can download the whole thing from them if you wished.

Re: plushie microbes
the original site http://www.giantmicrobes.com/us seems to be cheaper and have more products.

interesting reading of the origins of 'English' there Teresa, lots of Angles and Anglo-Saxons.

real flowers and/or 'ugly' dishes

wow, geekologie seems like a very (nouveau geek|faux geek|"we're into geeky things now because geekiness is cool") website.

Also, just because someone can't find a tasteful way to decorate a satellite dish doesn't make the satellite dish stickers any less tacky.

1913 Webster 'orientate':
1. To place or turn toward the east; to cause to assume an easterly direction, or to veer eastward.

there is nothing *cat about this, there are no images after all. its not even 'lol'.

congratulations on the pointless rage jordan. you go, blogger.

the 'rule' to not use passive voice seems to be largely an americanism.

so great, why can't the fans of amy crehore just use the rss feed from her blog instead of boing boing?

well if it hadn't been backed up, at least it wouldn't have been a great loss.

The second sentence says a lot about Cory.

Yes, very un-ingenious considering this has been around for years and the 'INSERT COIN' message isn't really original either. Was Cory not on the internet before 2001?

#41: You can't be both a sincere Christian and one or all of feminist, believer in evolution, supporter of GLBTQ rights and pro-animal rights. At least the misogynistic, meat eating, homophobic, creationist believers are consistent. Your "progressive christianity" seems to just be an excuse to not give up the crutch of your faith and is not supported by your religion's holy books and leaders.

I suppose this was meant to be cute but it just comes off as creepy:

I've read all the Discworld novels up to this one, so I will definitely be buying it. I have to say I prefer the 'adult' novels, though the 'young adult' ones were good until wintersmith, where the second half felt way too rushed. My favourite characters are definitely Death, Rincewind, Vetinari and Sam Vimes.

Also, someone needs to write a GreaseMonkey script to strip 'downandoutint-20' from the links to amazon.com on boing boing.

ugh, I'd go out of my way to avoid something 'popularized by Gwen Stefani' especially considering how her 'Harajuku Girls' were just props in her act.

Looks much more like Mikhail Bakunin

Most completely pointless waste of 1850 people's time ever. The idea that this will do anything but bring a small amount of negative publicity is ludicrous.

so he got permission to claim copyright on all these works?
