Not sure the veracity, I offer just for completeness: Amazon rep tells publisher that it was an expirement, not a glitch -- (link) - ty97 Apr 13, 16:36 4
- mind you, this doesn't necessarily mean the 'glitch' thing isn't true as well. - ty97 Apr 13, 16:38 3
  - Could you be a little more vauge please? LOL. -- nm - Qale Apr 13, 16:39 2
    - I'm keeping my options open (considering how many dueling explanations there are now) - ty97 Apr 13, 16:41 1

Get ready for "Pirate Hunters USN" - Trish Apr 13, 16:26 7
- oh hey, from the other day, I wasn't sure from your response if you knew, but there really is a "The Cougar" reality show coming to tv. - Stephen Apr 13, 16:32 4
  - how is it any worse than the Bachelor or any other show? -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 16:51 2
    - It's not. Those shows are reprehensible, IMO. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 16:52 1
      - You're correct. I still feel residual guilt for watching "Farmer Takes a Wife" last year. Btw, "Deadliest Catch" starts back this week or next week - Trish Apr 13, 16:56
  - After seeing poor little Zak Ephron getting semi molested by "Kathie Lee" on SNL was pretty bad. - Trish Apr 13, 16:49

10 best X-Men crossovers (#1 remains one of my favorite storylines) -- (link) - Beaker Apr 13, 16:25 9
- Meh. I liked #1 but I wouldn't consider it a crossover in the regular sense. I'd call Onslaught #1. - Mop (239 lbs) Apr 13, 16:41 4
  - I agree regarding Covenant being ranked way high -- nm - Beaker Apr 13, 16:45
  - Bearing in mind that I haven't read *any* of these, the pic to illustrate #1 has more compelling artwork, IMO. - Beryllium Apr 13, 16:43 2
    - The art during that era was great. Bachalo, Ramos, etc. -- nm - Mop (239 lbs) Apr 13, 16:53
    - yeah a bit... - Remlik Apr 13, 16:45
- yep. It was concise told a fun story. -- nm - Remlik Apr 13, 16:36 3

Columbia Univ. prof. faints on Glen Beck show live - sgtmike Apr 13, 15:54 15
- 1. Why would AA feel the need to post this. 2. Going to their homepage 2nd story down, they call the pirates the Volunteer Somali Coast Guard. - Stephen Apr 13, 16:04 14
  - the Somali's call themselves Volunteer Somali Coast Guard - sgtmike Apr 13, 16:09 12
    - I'd call that article far-fetched, but that might be an insult to other articles that I've called far-fetched. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 16:31 6
      - It's short on evidence but not plausibility. -- nm - Reagen Apr 13, 16:47 1
        
        Well, the lack of evidence combined with the sheer faith in the veracity of the statements being made = short trip to looney town -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 16:49
      - I would not be surprised that there are a lot of these problems over there, but giving these criminals shelter by calling them anything but criminals - Stephen Apr 13, 16:46 2
        
        Seems to me the article is trying to separate the two groups. -- nm - Reagen Apr 13, 16:47 1
        
        But not the original article on Air America that started this whole thread. -- nm - Stephen Apr 13, 16:49
      - How about this one from Voice of America on the nuke waste -- (link) - sgtmike Apr 13, 16:36
    - and that's not the Volunteer Coast Guard of Somalia -- nm - marcel Apr 13, 16:25 1
      - oh, I agree. Some of these people are thugs cashing in on a situation - sgtmike Apr 13, 16:27
    - and al Qaeda considers themselves freedom fighters. - Stephen Apr 13, 16:22 2
      - did you bother to read the link or is accepting the label - sgtmike Apr 13, 16:25 1
        
        Yes, I read the link, and i'll stand by my assertion that those taking prisoners are nothing more than pirates. - Stephen Apr 13, 16:31
  - and 3) people might not like Beck but at least he didn't react like those two reporters at the volleyball competition - Stephen Apr 13, 16:05
WSJ reported on an Apple fluff PR piece about how Steve Jobs is "still in charge" and Cnet's Molly Wood just *lost it* on Buzz Out Loud - Mop (239 lbs) Apr 13, 15:53 1

  - do you really want to lie down blind in a darkroom? -- nm - marcel Apr 13, 16:19 1
    - Unless you're a cat i'm pretty sure you're going to be blind in a dark room whether you want to be or not :) -- nm - Stephen Apr 13, 16:47
- but .. will it make the headache worse? -- nm - marcel Apr 13, 16:06 4

        Deal. I'll let you know if I get it. -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 13, 16:40
So reading more about the alledged hacker guy. In essence, when you strip away all the gloss and hype: He hated Schmooze Points and Orange. -- nm - Qale Apr 13, 15:40 15
- Mike Daisey [...] said it was the result of an administrator on the French version of Amazon confusing the English words for "adult" and "erotic." - Mop (239 lbs) Apr 13, 15:51 5
  - I am so untrusting - I do not believe it was a hacker - Epiphany Apr 13, 15:52 4
    - why have the listings and refuse to sell them or hide them? - Reagen Apr 13, 15:54 3
      - The simplest solution recommendation I saw (here? elsehwhere? not sure) was to offer a 'safe search' option for those who want it. - ty97 Apr 13, 16:33 2
        
        logically speaking, the correct choice is default to safe, and allow people to uncheck if they wish -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 16:35 1
        
        (Because the opinionated and tetchy people are unlikely to have the forethought to go and tick the box ;-) ) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 16:36

    - can one watch the movie without seeing the tv show? -- nm - Remlik Apr 13, 15:58 1

    - oh Moppie how wrong, wrong you are - home made cakes are so much better - Epiphany Apr 13, 15:33 3
      - You just haven't found the right bakery. -- nm - Mop (239 lbs) Apr 13, 15:35 2
        
        this entirely possible -- nm - Epiphany Apr 13, 15:50 1
        
        There's nothing like that scent filling your home, though -- nm - con_carne Apr 13, 15:51
