I'm fine with using the word homophobia to describe homophobia. Just because most people were something doesn't mean they weren't that something. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman

What word would be more appropriate than homophobe here? I know it's fun to argue, but what is your point?

It's pretty common for sites to change referal links like this. I think the rationale is "my site, my bandwidth, my referral money." Can't argue with that!

For those who are wondering what MetaFilter is, it's a meta-filtered internet space, a well-moderated community where people can talk about things on the internet, without making it all about themselves. The About page is a good place

I think it's brilliant. None of my single gay friends out of tech knew about this guy before OKC made the announcement, but now? Now they know. Now they are informed.

Want to be taken seriously as a developer? Get a job doing it. First of the month is just around the corner, and you have plenty of time to spruce up the README files on your github page to prepare. :)

I disagree with your core premise because a political contribution is more than an opinion or a thought. It is an action as well as an endorsement.

This is bittersweet for me, because I loved their streaming services. I'm happy that there are so many (non-Pandora) alternatives now to last.fm streaming, and I'm happy they're keeping their core scrobbling/discovery fu

I like the LED status lights, but I don't like the skeumorphic cylindrical battery shape. Batteries get away with it because you put them into something. This thing will just continue to fall down or roll around.

Are those Markus chairs from IKEA really comparable to the ilk of Herman Miller et al.? I'm wondering if the road trip to try one out is worthwhile. Please share your experiences if you own one.

The prices may be out of control, but as a student, it was surely a delight to find that I could buy $8.00 chemistry books from the likes of Amazon and Abebooks and sell them to the Barnes and Noble on campus for a reliable $65.00 cash unti

Rather than an all or nothing proposition, I saw this quote as an elegant framing of what the liberal arts are: nice-to-haves in the wake of ought-to-haves in the wake of die-or-haves. In the popular discourse, we aren't always afforde

What if we could flag comments, and then the professional moderators could make their decisions accordingly.

While I certainly understand your goal here, wouldn't you have a better moderation regime if you hired people to do this as their jobs? Metafilter is my example of a hired-mods-done-right setup. I fear that a 1000 karma policing setup
