• Commented on White House: Free Market Isn't "Free License To Take Whatever You Can Get"
  "It just goes to show you that Obama is a dyed in the wool socialist." Funny that, I thought he ran as a Democrat....
• Commented on Does Double Down Have Double The Calories Reported?
  Going to CalorieCount and making inferences is all well and good, but the gold standard is still calorimetry. Get a double-down, visit a physics, chemistry, or nutrition lab at the local U, and ACTUALLY get to the bottom of it....
• Commented on White House: Free Market Isn't "Free License To Take Whatever You Can Get"
  I know, right? I get all tingly when I think about the Goldman CDO suit. It seems the other people participating in the hedge fund should get legal recourse too. I think misrepresenting your product and failing to disclose conflicts...

• Commented on Say 'Auf Wiedersehen' To Hitler War Room Parodies
  Except that they're not exercising their legal rights. Constantin's not utilizing DMCA because they can't, and they know they can't. They don't have the right to use DMCA to take down fair-use material. The DMCA itself has a clear provision...
• Commented on Say 'Auf Wiedersehen' To Hitler War Room Parodies
  I was at Target the other day eying the movie. I was actually pretty much dead set on getting it the next time around to watch with a friend but now I've decided that I don't want to support Constantin...
• Commented on Downloadable PS3 Game Requires You To Be Online To Play
  Here's one: Fuhgeddabouit. It wasn't/isn't a problem when people hand off their physical copies of games to friends for people to borrow. Whiny publishers need to get over themselves or demonstrate that this is such a vast epidemic of a...

  Youtube isn't a consumer product like television? News to me, Shaggy....
• Commented on Say 'Auf Wiedersehen' To Hitler War Room Parodies
  What does copyright law have to do with consumers? Well, we've got Ubisoft, DRM, consumption of copyrighted materials and their derivatives. It's a broad issue that affects consumers directly....

  Seriously people. Stop buying these games. God knows I don't....
• Commented on Kindles To Be Sold At Some Target Stores Starting April 25
  Singular use is a disadvantage? Wow, I guess I should stop buying cameras that are only cameras, cellphones for their phone-iness, and watches that tell time. (Does no one else remember that short period where overly gadgetous watches were the...

• Commented on $100 Bill Redesigned, Now Has Hidden Images
  You're not merely stating an opinion, but you're trying to support it with claims and assumptions that can be shown to be false or inconsistent. But, if you don't want to defend your opinion- you'd be better off not stating...

• Commented on 10 Most Irritating Types Of Restaurant Patrons
  On the subject of subjecting others to your conversation. I remember one particularly mortifying experience when I was at a restaurant (no tablecloths) that had pretty high ambient volume. The music was too loud and the place was pretty packed....
• Commented on 10 Most Irritating Types Of Restaurant Patrons
  I like the qualifier on cellphone talking (loud). It doesn't make sense to render it completely verboten since other people are carrying conversations right next to you- what's the diff? Technology is no longer as sucky and you don't have...

• Commented on $100 Bill Redesigned, Now Has Hidden Images
  You have heard of the slippery slope fallacy before, yes? If you can't name even one plausible instance of unreasonable accommodation- then I think it's pretty safe to say there aren't more, which actually does render your entire argument moot....
• Commented on $100 Bill Redesigned, Now Has Hidden Images
  Except that the visually impaired have already sued the government and won. Meaning federal judges who don't actually have a horse in this race already studied the issue and determined it was necessary. What were you saying again? Also, if...
• Commented on $100 Bill Redesigned, Now Has Hidden Images
  I'm perpetuating the fact that there are things disabled people are simply not capable of doing. The blind can't see- for example. Are they capable of living perfectly happy lives without depending excessively on others? Yes. But, note the word...

  Whoops. Misread that. I thought you said spraying laundry starch will make a bill pass the test. Mea culpa....
• Commented on $100 Bill Redesigned, Now Has Hidden Images
  Acid-base? Well, sorta. It's actually an iodine-starch reaction. The cotton in bills undergoes a special sooper-seekrit (ha!) process to change the starch structure. Starch molecules in paper are helical, i.e. they look like spirals. Iodine ions will enter into the...
