There's an interesting video interview with the man with the screaming face. - Sue - Friendfeed is best

The notion that it's possible to have a portion of humanity protect us from the rest is statist utopianism. - Sue - Friendfeed is best

And your proposed alternative? - Brian Sullivan

What the detective did was, obviously, depraved and indefensible under any circumstances by anyone. What the hell is "statist utopianism?" From where I sit, it's a bit of gobbledy-gook rhetoric lifted from a poli-sci textbook. The notion it's possible to have a portion of humanity protect us from the rest is part of an honorable and old-fashioned idea called the social contract, which has received short shrift in the past 30 or so years, as too many forget that we got where we are by cooperation and hard work, not greed and cruelty. - Hieronymus Murphy

Those who are attempting to cut support to the poor, the sick, children and the elderly. - Absentee

I can't stand the "subjective nature of reality" claim. Reality is objective; our interpretations of it are often subjective. - Absentee

Second, that gear, why do you put it where you do? You have a physical gear covered with adhesive that you throw at the screen while blindfolded after spinning around a few times and wherever it sticks is where the gear goes in your app, isn't that right? - Sue - Friendfeed is best

Actually, we know why the gears and stuff started appearing in odd places - you're stealing interface designs and software from one culture and using them in a different culture, figuring you're less likely to have your misuse noticed that way, right? Some UI designer in the right to left world is probably putting major stuff on the left, copying from normal convention in my part of the world, driving my far off counterpart mad, just like me. - Sue - Friendfeed is best

At least when switching restaurants they don't make you wait 40 days before you can get a Big Mac. - Kevin L
