wowee, if you guys find his column so boring/irrelevant/self-indulgent, why bother reading it?

and especially why bother posting your even more boring/irrelevant/self-indulgent letters about how you find it so boring/irrelevant/self-indulgent?

it is available online.

That is to say someone took digital photos, made a pdf, and made it available via bit torrent.

Those are all technologies, or if you prefer: a manner of accomplishing a task using technical processes.

And he didn't link it. I'm pretty sure that requires something like "

something 'a href' etc. etc.

Yes there are potentially more life threating global issues worth discussing on the front page, but Harry Potter is global cultural phenomenon that can't just be ignored because some of us don't like it.

And yes, just saying "warning spoilers ahead" doesn't really excuse the fact that spoilers were included, unecessarily; it didn't really help the progression of the review in my opinion.

But guess what, its there! On the front page! Deal with!

This sounds trite, but: don't read it, don't click on it, don't even pay attention do it if you don't want anything to be spoiled, and especially if you aren't even interested in the topic being discussed.

Hey Calliope10, doesn't posting your inane comments on an online news magazine subject the rest of us to your own "mundane" life?

I am always so shocked day in and day out about people whining about myspace as other social networking sites. Good for you that you feel morally superior than those who choose to participate. No one really cares though.

Being attracted to death is one thing, hell it's natural, we're all gonna die, but don't you think that being an asshole to those that grieve, people you don't even know and don't affect your life in anyway, is crossing the line?

Both Richard and Johnson are synonymous with dick.

What in god's name is an 'armored face conveyor'?

I am pretty sure Andrew was being more than just a little bit facetious by calling dump trucks the enemy of the human race.

Am I the only one getting annoyed by the fact that Salon seems to think it's readers are too vapid to bother tuning in to watch a debate?

Adding another folky singer/songwriter (hebrew, english, french etc. etc.) to one's collection of music does not make for a very broad horizon at all.

stupid spelling.

Not to knock your article, or the SXSW Film Festival in general, but it's a shame that Salon has chosen to completely forgo covering music at all, which I only bring up here because the event is actually known as SXSW * MUSIC * FILM * INTERACTIVE.

And this is closest Salon has gotten to music in I don't know how long. Or am I missing a column somewhere?

In a time when the internet is making and breaking more artists than traditional record labels could have ever hoped to, it's a crying shame that an ONLINE news magazine chooses to bury its head in the sand.

To all the people that had a bad time in high school, and yes i had horrible days that made me want to move to a different city and good days where going to school actually seemed like a fun thing to do, as i expect you all did as well but are now too cool (or cantankerous and crotchety as the adults we all swore we'd never be) to admit it, you do not own the only valid opinion of those formative years.

The insane amount of cheese in that promo video made me think for sure that it was a Zoolander DVD extra.

Somebody made that with a straight face. Shudder.

Guess what?

I, am guessing that, like pretty much everyone else that owns one, I chose to purchase wii fit and try it out. All on my own!

I've also chosen to ride my bike to work everyday and eat much more healthy than I ever have in the past. Again, all of my own volition! Amazing ain't it?

So please keep the fascism to yourself.
