  2. boingboing hijacked? [citation needed] on Cory Doctorow On For the Win, Gold Farming, and DRM · · Score: 5, Informative

    Boing Boing became a Web site in 1995 and later relaunched as a weblog on January 21, 2000, described as a "directory of wonderful things." Over time, Frauenfelder was joined by three co-editors: Cory Doctorow, David Pescovitz, and Xeni Jardin. All four Boing Boing contributors are, or have been, contributing writers for Wired magazine.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boing_Boing

    Self-promotion, on the internet? say it ain't so!

    Cory, Xeni, Dave and Marc ARE boingboing. Cory's also a writer who stands behind his opinions on copyright, licensing the electronic versions of his books via Creative Commons, with free downloads in non DRM formats.

    disclaimer: I also happen to like his writing. I Loved "Little Brother", and liked Down & Out in the Magic Kingdom, Content, Makers, and am halfway through FTW

  3. Re:Mitch Hedberg called this one on Malfunction Costs Couple $11 Million Slot Machine Jackpot · · Score: 5, Informative

    It's "estimated" because the lottery winnings are a percentage of all tickets sold, and they haven't yet sold all the tickets for the next lottery.
    They usually close the sales 15 minutes before the drawing.

    Of course you can, if you have a few million to contribute to the whores who write the laws.

  5. Re:in other news, cementing the BP CEO has started on Gulf Oil Leak Plugged? · · Score: 1

    I mean, if I were the head of BP and every decision that was made pointed directly at me, then I'd for sure want a bajillion dollars a year.

    You have it backwards.
    The CEOs are ALREADY getting a bajillion dollars a year, and in return for that that they SHOULD be personally liable for anything that happens on their watch...
    Instead of the present setup, where they say "Oops!", and leave with a half a bajillion dollar golden parachute before they move on to their NEXT bajillion dollar a year gig.

  6. Kevin Anderson's "Ill Wind" on Can Oil-Eating Bacteria Help Clean Up the Gulf Oil Spill? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    "When a panicky oil company tries to clean up a major spill in San Francisco Bay by dropping genetically engineered oil-eating microbes on it, the little organisms go berserk and start devouring most of the world's long-chain polycarbons (gasoline, plastics, etc.). "

    Yes, I do remember that. I had the coolies in Firefox, and I'd check the same item in Safari with no cookies, and get a lower price in Safari.

  9. I won't say your paranoid... on Tips For Taking Your Laptop Into and Out of the US? · · Score: 2, Informative

    there have been a LOT of scary stories about this lately... I was concerned about the same thing... BUT... like some others have said, I have yet to see a laptop being inspected/confiscated. Two trips out of the country this year, one to Cabo, the other to Paris and Prague. No problems.
