Submission + - WSU LUG Nerds to auction themselves to women (ap.org)

Mr. Slippery writes: "Associated Press reports that Washington State University's LUG is planning to hold a "nerd auction". According to LUG president Ben Ford,"You can buy a nerd and he'll fix your computer, help you with stats homework, or if you're really adventurous, take you to dinner!" To promote the LUG (and comp sci in general) to women, the plan is that a handful of LUG members will get makeovers from a sorority. "The girls get to have their way with them and we'll document each makeover. We'll make a snazzy video and show it over dinner. After the dinner, we'll auction off the now studly nerds.""

Submission + - Patent dispute turns deadly

Mr. Slippery writes: "Think disputes about software patents have gotten ugly? You ain't seen nothing yet; it turns out that the gunman who killed three people in a Chicago law firm's office felt cheated over the patent of a toilet he had invented for use in trucks. How long until some poor coder who accidently steps on a software patent, decides to follow his example?"
