I completely agree- I get the reluctance to let people sell their bodies, but this isn't a zero-sum game, it's a chance to save lives easily and ethically.

Is a school entitled to discipline a student? Of course -- if a crime is committed. But let's get real here. We're talking about freedom of speech on the Internet.

Someone stole my logo a few weeks back while my car sat at the San Francisco airport. The replacement cost $52 which I happily paid. Why? My car felt naked without it and I love my 2010 Prius. And THAT is advertising Toyota can't buy.
- Robert Scoble
Ghah! I have a Gen3 that I love as well -- and I plan on parking it at an airport tomorrow -- and the thought that people are stealing these badges makes me sad (and scared for my poor Gen3).
- Paul Wilcox
I think you did it because it look geeky cool!

Would have been cool to put your Hulk Picture on a logo on the car in an oval shape- green and all...:-)
- Lyn Graft
My stereo can beat up your stereo. ;)
- Brett Schulte
Which is more impressive: You paid $52 for a new logo, or someone placed enough value in your logo to rip it from your car? Also: Did you know that the new Prius logos are blue inside because in Japan blue is the color associated with energy conservation (as opposed to green here). Apparently there was a lot of debate within Toyota about whether the logo should be blue in the US, and some owners are unhappy with the blue logo, especially when it's on a car whose color clashes with it.

Don't we all do that any time we pay for something with a logo?

Your logo was stolen? Is it 1987? Are we putting those on chains again?

Hey Robert, just turned 100,000 on my second gen Prius. If they made computers like they make the Priuses we'd be golden. One minor software glitch in 100,000 miles.

It would cost more than 52 dollars to understand the meaning of this loss with a collegue, so... that's a good deal !

Scoble - didn't you learn ANYTHING when you told people you hated it when someone grabbed your name on a social media site? Result: It became a geek meme to grab your name. Now you've made it a badge of geek honor to have the Scoble Prius badge!
- Brett Schulte
Let's re-use and recycle instead of buying new, you know? I have a mint-condition logo for a 2010 Prius that I recently, uh, found. I do feel your pain at the loss of your "badge", so I am offering you (or any in the "Silico-ti" bubble) -- for only $35 -- the chance of feel less naked than you've felt in a long while, I promise. Details here-- http://tr.im/vktz .

Robert, if it's ever stolen again, don't glue the replacement on _too_ well. You don't want the thieves to scratch your paint stealing the replacement. $35-$52 is a heck of a lot cheaper than fixing your paint. I had a lot of body work done on my various cars recently, and it's so expensive It almost makes me cry.

Serendipity is not randomness, not noise. It's stumbling across something accidentally that is nonetheless of interest to you. The web is much better at capturing that mix of surprise and relevance than book stacks or print encyclopedias. Does everyone use the web this way? Of course not. But it's much more of a mainstream pursuit than randomly exploring encyclopedias or library stacks ever was. That's the irony of the debate: the thing that is being mourned has actually gone from a fringe experience to a much more commonplace one in the culture. Boingboing has a million readers, for crissakes! Right now, on their front door, we have a study of monkey drinking habits, a roadsite alert sign hacking project, a "news of the weird" story about a German would-be suicide, a re-writing of Robinson Crusoe, a collection of vintage cartoons, a digital mapmaking tool, and so on and so on. And this eclecticism is what you get every day there -- which is precisely why it is the most linked-to blog

It's about frickin' time, Guy! You're the guy who handed Steve Balmer a Macbook Air as a symbol of good design and yet you've been using Twitter all this time? Either start using friendfeed or switch to using Dells. You can't have it both ways. :)

Friendfeed consolidates most all of the other social networks into one feed and then echos it out to twitter also, for the masses. FF is a well developed web app! The bookmarklet and web widgets work very well.

If you haven't seen the JK Wedding dance video on YouTube, watch it. It will make you laugh and make you cry. It's great.

It's wonderful, but I feel like I've seen full-party dancing wedding videos before, and don't quite get why this one is so big.

David, you've seen people walk down the aisle like that? I had dancing during my wedding, but walking down the aisle is usually something people do traditionally at weddings.

@Roger, I agree with you. For a BLACK one-piece, that is pretty frickin' hot.

I prefer the turquoise myself, but daaaaaaaamn... I just looked at the price tag! For $300, it had better come with the personal trainer it'll take to wear it properly.

This is an excellent example of how sexy works. It's all about how likely a revealing accident is or how easy the outfit looks like it could come off and not about how much skin is shown. Even a burqua could be made sexy in this fashion.
- Wirehead
yeah, i just needed to revisit this thread and say this is both elegant and fucking hot (sorry for the expletive, but that's just how hot i think it is)
- Cee Bee
Am I the only one who finds it humorous that this thread started out with informed fashion advice like the original poster asked for and has degraded into sexual innuendo during the course of the day? Is this reflective of the FF community's mood as the day progresses or just the inevitable conclusion of any post of bikini photos from a woman?
