Most of the comments are stupid, and it's understandable that the TSA wouldn't like them. There's one however that I don't fully understand the problem with:

An Atlanta passenger approached a flight attendant and asked her if she had ever been hijacked before.

Seems like a normal curious inquiry to me..

I agree completely! When I put my Pi in my wallet, it makes sitting very uncomfortable! I really had to force the wallet to even close! I believe this truly is false advertising.

Shouldn't SCALE '13 be coming up this year?

.. my wife is on a mission to print the internet! She does this via my color laser printer.

With WINE moving to an ARM architecture, it seems reasonable that it could be made to work on the Raspberry Pi as well. I understand that this wouldn't be able to run any resource intense programs, but being able to run some of the less hungry windows apps on a Pi could create some interesting possibilities! I would love to see more progress made in this direction!

How about turning off the lights of a house before the burglar or attacker invades? It could cause a lot more confusion and danger for the home owners.

My bad.. I'm usually better than that, but was distracted by the shiny video! (which I didn't listen to, since I try to stay muted at work).. Missed most of the summary. Thanks!

Your joke was already used by HowStuffWorks

How much does a Solo Wheel cost? I tried to check on their site, but it was slashdotted.

This is an outstanding post, with a great quote! I wish I hadn't squandered my mod points yesterday! Thanks for the link, much appreciated.

Windows 3.11 is still available for technet subscribers. Simple!

Should we also ban free speech, to keep it from inciting riots? Should be proactively ban the consumption of alcohol (again) because of so many alcohol related deaths? How about we ban the internet, since so much piracy and child pornography and other heinous crimes are committed there!

If you don't want to live in a free society, then maybe you should move somewhere that you won't have to worry about it.

This was the first thing that came to my mind as well. When the authoritarian government is requiring high speed internet access to every home, it can't just be for the public to have faster access to the censored internet. There has to be a bigger reason, and I'm sure it's more to do with upload speeds than download..

That's a pretty cool website! I didn't know that my employer (formerly Union Switch & Signal) developed a car phone in 1964! I did know that we made guns during WWII... But we don't do any "extracurricular" activities anymore, as far as I'm aware.

And now with linkage!
