I got nothing but Bticino plugs in my house. It's pain enough having to change the connectors on every electronic device I buy.

I am diagnosed with ADHD and I don't completely agree with your points.
1. Sit in the last row.
I hate sitting in the last row, or any row that isn't the first. I cannot see the chalkboard due to my poor vision and hearing the instructor is also difficult due to the interference from other students. Besides, not all high schools have rows in classrooms, let alone classrooms.
2. Get out homework, TI calculator loaded with games, or a thin book.
Homework is definitely boring. However, failing a course simply for not having turned in enough assignments doesn't benefit anyone. Games or sketchbooks do not help in that matter, especially if one has issues with game addiction like a friend of mine with that 24/7 addiction to Tetris.
3. Enjoy 50 minutes of quiet time before moving to a new room.
You simply cannot imagine how utterly boring that is. Quietness for over a constant period of 10 minutes drives me nuts, hence my loud computer fan and the open windows exposed to traffic and storms. Quiet or not, it's boring anyway.
4. Realize that eventually you'll have to learn something to get by in the world and you'll be completely unprepared for it.
I cannot argue about that. Slashdot is the perfect method to realize just that.

Red Hat Enlists Community Help To Fight Patent Trolls 166
Stickster writes "Back in 2007, IP Innovation filed a lawsuit against Red Hat and Novell. IP Innovation is a subsidiary of Acacia Technologies. You may have heard of them — they're reported to be the most litigious patent troll in the USA, meaning they produce nothing of value other than money from those whom they sue (or threaten to sue) over patent issues. They're alleging infringement of patents on a user interface that has multiple workspaces. Hard to say just what they mean (which is often a problem in software patents), but it sounds a lot like functionality that pretty much all programmers and consumers use. That patent was filed back on March 25, 1987 by some folks at Xerox/PARC, which means that prior art dated before then is helpful — and art dated before March 25, 1986 is the most useful. (That means art found in a Linux distribution may not help, seeing as how Linus Torvalds first began the Linux kernel in 1991.) Red Hat has invited the community to join in the fight against the patent trolls by identifying prior art. They are coordinating efforts through the Post Issue Peer to Patent site, which is administered by the Center for Patent Innovations at the New York Law School, in conjunction with the US Patent and Trademark Office."
