Mawae: Stop complaining
238704
Kevin Mawae isn&#39;t sure whether or not he&#39;ll be playing with a club-like cast on his right hand for a fourth straight game Sunday, but if he does and the Patriots don&#39;t like it, that&#39;s tough.

The Internet is changing the way consumers complain about companies, products, and services. Instead of grumbling to a neighbor or filing a complaint with the company, a regulator, or the Better Business Bureau, more and more consumers are taking their beefs online, either contributing to gripe sites or setting up their own. There's even a website called Webgripesites.com that catalogs ...

By Mike Peters, Greeley Tribune, Colo.  Mar. 3--OK. We know you're gonna be mad about this, but we're doing it anyway, so you might as well just take a look at the helpful stuff we're going to give you and try to understand.

Science & environment: Ben Goldacre: Homeopaths would be fine, if they could just shut up about serious stuff, like Aids, or malaria, or MMR.

Tycho:  We have done things in the past which were not "for" you, or anybody else for that matter.  That isn't what's goin' on now.  What's going on now is we are shoveling dense chunks of fanservice into the site's iron belly, and increased fervor in that chamber makes each comic bend and groan to please you.

He had some Wheaties this morning for sure. My advice... 1. Remember to have fun. 2. We're all bozos on this bus. 3. We're all barking farting chihuahuas. 4. I make shitty software and so do you. 5. It's even worse than it appears. 6. You never learn anything hanging with the same people. 7. Thank heaven for little girls. (A repeat of #6.) 8. It's later than you think. 9. It's not like anyone gets out of this alive.

'You are such an anti-semitic turd' FoTW Regular readers will be aware of the Vulture Central tradition which dicates that you're not a fully-fledged Reg hack until you've been subjected to a vicious outburst of e-anger from some reader with steam coming out of his or her ears.â¦

Tycho:  With PAX coming up this weekend (!!!), we didn't really have time on Friday to invest in Virgil's Wikiscanner - that mystical oracle that takes a raw IP range and then excretes a list of that organization's Wikipedia edits.  This is the pulsing, possibly Martian device that dished up last week's awesome Electronic Arts edits.    I wasn't sure if we should feel sorry for them or not - now that EA is situated in the number two slot, does that make them the scrappy underdog? - but I quickly realized it probably doesn't matter.  They can come right out and say "Yes, we edit it all the time," mischaracterize the nature of the edits, and by the time it's on the second page the events in question never happened.  People don't remember anything these days that isn't on the first page of their feed aggregators. In any case, the entire affair is talking place  on Wikipedia.  Kudzu will grow over the propaganda soon enough.    Though time was indeed in short supply, we did fritter some portion of it pawing through ancient email headers, scraping for filth on old enemies.  Or enemies with whom we have resumed talks.  Or enemies who are now friends!  Even people I hope to make enemies in the future by my careless commentary must fall beneath the scanner's baleful eye.    Like a chugging trawler, we hauled up net after net of treasure onto the deck, sifting it on hands and knees.  I'd never expose it, of course - sparking a desperate arms race to find self-serving commentary is a conflict I'm likely to lose.  And with the deep catalogue of nemeses we've inspired worldwide (and even below the world, in the warrens of the pale Gambrya, where hate is eternal) it's not what I'd call a fabulous scenario.  For us, at least; no doubt, our foes have already begun their malevolent harvest.

Here we go again! Notre Dame is really getting on my nerves. Why don&#39;t we let the biggest whiner in the student body, the richest/baddest whiner from the alumni and Athletic Director Kevin White coach the football team next year?

If you are in Sudan it is a &#39;missed call&#39;. In Ethiopia it is a &#39;miskin&#39; or a &#39;pitiful&#39; call. In other parts of Africa it is a case of &#39;flashing&#39;, &#39;beeping&#39; or in French-speaking areas &#39;bipage&#39;.

I've spent the better part of the past 2 weeks banging away on 2 LTSP servers for our school district.  I find myself lamenting to those around me, and being an otherwise cranky guy as well.  This morning it dawned on me that people probably think I'm having such a hard time because I'm using Linux instead of the "norm" -- but that's just not the case. read more

Public chatter on mobile phones is annoying--when other people use them. But how do we tackle the problem?
