EFF: MySpace suicide charges a threat to free speech

Comment in News (1 digg, 1 reply) - on 08/06/2008
When she wrote, "The world would be a better place without you," in my opinion, she crossed the line. I wouldn't have any problem convicting her based on what I have learned about the case. (see comment)

Socialism vs. Capitalism [PIC]

Comment in Images (-8 diggs, 2 replies) - on 07/17/2008
Is this some sort of admission that Capitalists live in Red States and Socialists live in Blue States? If so, it works for me. (see comment)

Report: Exams reveal abuse, torture of detainees - CNN.com

Comment in News (-5 diggs, 4 replies) - on 06/18/2008
Some third-party group releases "findings" of a "study" that found exactly what they wanted. Oh, please. Meanwhile, al Qaeda, Hezbollah and others of their ilk use this work of propaganda to recruit young would-be revolutionaries to behead journalists and … (see comment)

Metallica to bloggers: don't review our music

Comment in News (3 diggs, 0 replies) - on 06/11/2008
I liked Metallice a lot more back in the '80s when they got zero radio airplay but had an incredibly devoted following. I think Lars and James represent everything that have gone wrong with music in the last 20 years. (see comment)

A WordPress 2.5 Upgrade Guide

Comment in News (0 diggs, 0 replies) - on 03/11/2008
I played around with the Open Source version immediately. There are still certain things I miss about MT but waiting for the site to rebuild isn't one of them. If they ever come out with a totally-PHP implementation, I might seriously consider switching b … (see comment)

CNET Caught Stealing A Photo Without Permission

Comment in Images (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 11/07/2007
It seems to me that there is another issue there since he relicensed the photo. My understanding of Creative Commons is that you don't get to switch from more restrictive to less restrictive on content. You can try, but I don't think it would stand up any … (see comment)

Why Didn't Americans Adopt the Metric System?

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 06/21/2007
When I was a wee lad, we had an advocate of the Metric System who worked at one of our local banks and she had a personal goal of converting the US of A to the Metric System by 1980 (this was in the mid '70s). One of her arguments was that decameters were … (see comment)

'Day One' for Safari for Windows Becomes Zero-Day Nightmare

Comment in News (-8 diggs, 1 reply) - on 06/13/2007
Anyone who is going to be running Safari right now is smart enough to choose which websites to surf to. This is such a non-issue being blown way out of proportion. If things are bad when the non-beta is released, there is cause for concern. (see comment)

Eco-Extremist Wants World Population to Drop below 1 Billion

Comment in News (0 diggs, 0 replies) - on 05/07/2007
In David Brin's novel, Earth (http://tinyurl.com/yr8ymy), there is a character who was in complete agreement with this guy and actually set about making it happen. This is just another example of someone who can't quite separate the concept of the Earth f … (see comment)

Flickr is smarter than you might think!

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 04/19/2007
I renewed my Pro account just this morning for another two years. I am not the heaviest Flickr user by any means, but I still like the community aspects and that plus the storage features make it economical enough for me. (see comment)

The Pirate Bay's REAL Plan B? The FreeNation Foundation goes online

Comment in News (-1 diggs, 0 replies) - on 02/02/2007
In some of Tom Clancy's Net Force books (written by Steve Perry), there is a group calling themselves CyberNation. On the surface, they have the same goals as these people; underneath, they are a terrorist group. That fact always makes me examine groups l … (see comment)

Jason Cross had a different opinion on DL.TV 117. He thought the boost in performance just did not justify the cost. http://dl.tv/2006/12/episode_117_silent_pc_200_gami.php … (see comment)

Jon Stewart's Take on the Bill Clinton Foxnews Interview

Comment in Videos (-1 diggs, 2 replies) - on 09/26/2006
I don't usually read the poltical threads around here. But this one came up in my friends feed. It is interesting how all the dissent above was crushed by a bunch of over-eager Clintonian Fanboys. The fact is, Chris Wallace is the host at Fox most likely … (see comment)

Using Apple as a good example is ridiculous. People had all sorts of issues when that was first introduced. (see comment)

I had never heard it before, either. And it totally confused John Edwards when he said it. (see comment)

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 03/25/2006
I listen to audio podcasts on my iPod. I watch video podcasts on my television via a homebrew media pc. But it is the subscription model that makes them podcasts, now what you play them back on. (see comment)
