zomg, apparently comment editing (the feature even more desired than "filter your own posts by security group") is finally coming down the pipe.

"Comment editing feature for Paid and Permanent users. A few details: "Only the comment poster can edit a comment."; "A comment cannot be edited if it has been replied to or frozen."; "When a comment is edited, a small note is put at the bottom of the comment text with a timestamp of when it was last edited."; "Anyone who would normally receive a comment notification when a new comment is posted to a thread will [automatically] receive a notification when a comment has been edited." (Source)"

i love dinosaur comics.

Utahraptor: How come you love words that make communication difficult?
T-Rex: What is not to like? They're words that do their job in the most sarcastic, sullen, passive-aggressive way possible, and they totally get away with it! I just want to pat them on the head and ruffle their hair, you know?"

What other things in life T-Rex's attitude might apply to is left as an exercise for the discerning reader. ;)

if:book pointed to an article on Wired today:

"...the complex structure of tacitly-permitted copyright violation that powers the participatory fan culture around commercially-produced manga. Though the countless fan publications that take existing, copyrighted characters and repurpose them in new, surreal or pornographic environments are in explicit violation of copyright, the industry maintains an anmoku no ryokai ('unspoken, implicit agreement')... It's interesting to speculate on whether J K Rowling's publishers have the same attitude to the legions of fan writers busy generating Harry Potter slashfic; whether fanfic and slashfic is considered a meaningful contribution to the industries it riffs off, the way fan publications are recognised as such in the manga industry; and whether the idea of an anmoku no ryokai might be a useful addition to existing practice around copyright in a 'read/write' culture."

I like the phrase "read/write culture". I don't think the publishers consider it meaningful in the sense of "generates further revenue for the series/franchise", though.

Location on world map (google mashup) of anonymous edits to en.Wikipedia, 4 minute delay. I'm not sure how it's picking them, because surely there must be more than one every 8-10 seconds. Kind of fun to sit and watch, though.
