Life is too short
One pathetic loser accidently mistook this site as a billboard for his filthy poker site, so I switched comments to approval-only. I understand that this is the tactical nuke of comment spam prevention, but life is too short to waste it dealing with assholes.
About another kind of digital assholery, Phil Ringnalda writes:
I've been noticing that Wired has a new sex column. I know they do because I subscribe to their RSS feed, and they've been swapping the entry announcing it between the author's real name, Regina Lynn Preciado, and her pen name (or, benefit of the doubt, perhaps her coincidental nickname), Gina Lynn, apparently nearly every time Bloglines re-reads the feed. As a result, pretty much every time I've checked my aggregator the last couple of days, I've seen that entry again. And again. And again.
I suppose this stunt is going to cost them more subscriptions than Phil's, and now mine.
