Bush was elected U.S. president and a majority believe he will launch military strikes in Iran or North Korea before his term ends in 2008, according to a new Toronto Star poll."(...) "The same questions were posed to respondents by pollsters in Britain, Israel and Mexico."(...)"Mexicans ranked Bush the second-most dangerous of the five, behind Al Qaeda's bin Laden." (...) The good part of the article is this "[The] analysts here say anti-Americanism has become more intense under Bush than any other U.S. president before him."
Anyway, who care about what canadians and mexicans thinks."

According to a lot of people, it's because they have a special device to detect laptop battery. Does such a device actually exist? I have yet to see a police confirmation of such device. My local police said it's a urban legend, and they have not been able to get their hands on such device.
What the Slashdot communauty think of that ? How these device can work ?"
