[...] it’s known that on jailbroken phones that applications like Skype will work over 3G, for the rest of us who play by the rules, calls like that just won’t happen as Apple’s [...]

Comment on Business Class! by zach

For what it’s worth, I was in business class for all of an hour and five minutes, give or take. Long enough to let my head get nice and big.

Comment on In first class, you get to demonstrate seat belt use to yourself by zach

It was pointed out to me that this was likely a “fat person extension” and not a seat belt demo unit. I wonder if there’s a difference between the two items. Perhaps a steward could stop mid-demonstration and hand his seat belt demo unit to a passenger struggling to fasten a seatbelt around her gut?

Comment on Interesting product: IOGEAR Mobile Digital Scribe $44.99 after rebate at Amazon by zach

Hmm, I don’t remember the steps. I think I just plugged it into my computer via USB, ran their firmware updater app, and it worked without any issues. I wrote a note to iogear tech support about the broken clip on mine, and they responded within a couple of days, so you might try contacting them.

Hi, I just got the IOgear Pen and wondered if you could give me a little bit of a step by step on making it work for Mac? I think I bricked my first one and don’t want to repeat myself.

I find the part of your comment about armed bandits to be interesting and pertinent, the rest is a classic false dichotomy, one of the logical fallacies people used to learn about back in the days when schools taught such things. There’s no reason one can’t be upset at the United States Government’s export restrictions on software to Iran or Cuba AND also be upset at the state of democracy in Iran, or the plight of whales, or the death of Michael Jackson. One concern does not preclude another, and one can think about and address each in turn.

Ironically, tor can be used for all manner of things, not just facilitating communication. Maybe all the people posting tor links here don’t want to see buildings burn or fair elections around the world, but they just want to facilitate your download of Google Sketchup!

Tor was good for connecting to American sites such as Google’s or Sun’s for downloading software. Google, and Sun do not allow downloading of their OPEN SOURCE software to connections originating from Iran. For example, Google SketchUP cannot be downloaded or anything else. That is against the very spirit and license of Open Source software.

So, instead of trying to facilitate the use of Internet to direct armed bandits who kill innocent people and burn down public building you would do better to bring down the Iron Curtains that are erected inside America.

As you were …

Hi,

Unfortunately the bridges don’t work for me. Are they still active or can you provide me a new one.

I am staying in Shanghai and it really sucks…

thank you so much.

Hi – I’m an American living in China and the TOR relays were shut down yesterday, along with all the publicly viewable lists of bridges, every proxy I can find, even paid VPN services.

I don’t want to do anything subversive, just get to my facebook page so I can talk to my family who’s still in the US.

Can any of you guys help me out by e-mailing me any newer bridges that you know of?

I won’t… I already went through 3 liters of it in the past 6 months.

Comment on On TV in Grand Rapids, Michigan by Angus

Angus — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 19:06:47 +0000

I’ve taken to tuning into the god channels here on TV in Burbank as background while I read. Occasionally I’ll look up and see some sort of preacher-huckster, usually covered in sweat. I think they put the sweat on to make it seem they’re max passionate about the big man. And the god geeks snarf it up.
