What about a leash law, a fake name, and trying to leave adds up to fucking zapping someone in the ranger's mind? Are these people not trained in actual physical force, like say, fists and feet or a nightstick?
I can see this heading to civil court for a lawsuit, which will be settled. I want to know more of the ranger's explanation since I'm sure there has to be more, but right now, I'm left wondering why people even label this "non-lethal force."
Seesmic is a bit more cluttered but it does many of the same things. It's not ideal, though.
Where to begin with how much this new version sucks?
1) Poor design/use of column space. You have one column that has a right arrow in it instead of useful information. I prefer the little buttons on the bottom to move through columns.
2) Can't comment or like Facebook statuses in the app. It'll send you to Facebook to do it.
3) Removing foursquare & LinkedIn.
4) The tweet window opens above the program instead of being at the top and doesn't get in the way.
5) Forces you into using Twitter's native picture service and link shortening.
6) No keyboard shortcuts.
7) Forcing that stupid "Quote" function for RTs --- which is why I don't use the web Twitter page in the first place.
When the old AIR version goes haywire I'll be heading for Seesmic. Twitter took out so much of TweetDeck's function that the new versions are useless. Don't delete your old AIR beta versions.

I missed it; gonna go search for that now.
I sympathize with her but it's pretty much rule #1 of being employed in journalism: don't attend any sort of political rallies, even on your own time. It's not so much about actual bias appearing in your work so much as the appearance of bias -- and despite OWS' stated refusal to associate with any explicitly political group, as someone wrote downthread, if you're protesting Wall Street and how our country does business, it's inherently political.
That said, whatever's left of journalistic ethics about these sorts of things seem like a really bad match for an industry where at all working levels (TV, newspaper, magazines, web), journalists are being laid off or paid even less to do more work as larger media groups contract. Of course this exempts the wealthy talking heads, the high end editors and producers, and executives -- but they're the elite media, hob-nobbing and vacationing in the same tony places as the people they cover.
Many of us are "the 99%" and might be out marching. As David Carr wrote in the NYT, maybe it's time to occupy the newsroom.

yeah, I forgot about the horrific things Salander does to others (usually for the people who do awful things to her). This is a complete conceptual failure by H&M.
The irony (or cognitive dissonance here) is outstanding or appalling, depending on your point of view.
A Swedish clothing retailer is selling a clothing line based on a character (not an actual person) in the American adaptation (since there were already good Swedish film versions) of a book written by a pretty hardcore socialist (with many anti-capitalist bits about financial manipulation of the country's economy in it) that's more about the rape, assault and exploitation of women -- so much so that the book's original title in Sweden was "Men Who Hate Women" -- and if you've read it or seen the Swedish film, it's hard not to see the two themes as intrinsically connected, considering the way it ends.
I mean, it's blowing my mind.

That's fair. Every Twitter mobile app that tries to manage Facebook fails miserably in some crucial respect. TweetDeck doesn't let you post to pages and doesn't filter out the stuff you block in your news feed; Seesmic's notifications for it don't seem to work very well.
I'm gonna give Twidroyd a shot. I loathe the official app.

I use it but it lacks a couple things on the purely Twitter end that Seesmic has, which are trending topics and user name auto-complete. Those are supposed to be in the upcoming update, though.
It also force closes a bunch at times, but then again, I have an original Droid, so...

regardless I still wouldn't include a mohel villain. They were asking for trouble and got it.
Seesmic's a great Twitter mobile app, but the Facebook side lags horribly (not that FB is relevant to this.) I keep sticking with the Android version of TweetDeck because it's pretty much TD for Chrome.
Maybe I should give Twidroyd a shot and go back to separate apps for both social networks. I would like to see a comparison of what's the best multi-social network app for Android, although that's probably too limited a market.

I've really got to wonder just how stupid the backers of the anti-circumcision bill are. Not a one of them looked at "Monster Mohel" and thought, "hmmm, that might piss off Jewish people?"
If they wanted to make the case in a comic, they could have simply gone with a doctor villain of indeterminate, bland origin who just does it by arguing "it's easier to keep clean" or something like that. Avoid the religious issue entirely. But no, they did this, and I suspect knowingly so because of the outrage it would cause -- and the attention it would receive.
(I would vote against this personally. I wouldn't have my son circumcised unless the mother is insistent up on it, but I don't think city law should be bothering with this.)

Well, here's an idea: if you're swimming under all that debt, maybe you don't have six kids.
Been a while since I could make one of these. Down with the Jersey Toad Isabella!
There are dirt-cheap battery-powered clippers. Why would anyone pay a salon when avoiding a unibrow is a pretty quick job at the bathroom sink?
And this nameless Republican would never make it out of the primary alive. The base wants its red meat.
Look, I get why this was done. But it's made reading the actual site and commenting painful for me. There is such a thing as too much going on. I don't tend to read because of interesting video; I read sites like Gawker because of, y'know, the words. While pictures and video are nice, the design doesn't help those visual elements accentuate the words on the web page. It's doing a disservice to the writers, readers, and commenters.
The layout's too much and too confusing. I shouldn't have to click a button on a menu on the right to scroll through what you all have published lately. It's an extra step that shouldn't have been necessary.
I'll be reading more and more from my Google Reader instead of the Gawker sites themselves, and that's a shame.

Herrera Beutler is from Washington, not Oregon. Cute, but most Oregonians don't vote for her brand of nutty.
Even better -- Haloti Ngata wasn't even flagged for busting up Roethlisberger's nose on the first play.
Despite it being something that many of us would have liked to do, it was still worth a flag and 15 yards.

That puppy has it good and knows many of us (myself included) are hellishly jealous.
