Where I am, there's a local surplus store that does robot workshops once or twice a month. Most of the motors, gears, etc come from scrap printers - they'll pile them out back, and recruit the kids and adults in the workship to rip them apart and collect the parts they need. Whats left over, is sent off for scrap/recycling.

Not only does it help teach the kids how to build things, but they learn the value of salvage and reusing components.

So, how much do you want to bet, that if the prosecution had found it, that they would have 'accidentally' forgot to tell the defense? Knee jerk reaction for a conviction is modus operandi for the police, regardless of if the person is guilty or not.

I love how the game law enforcement plays requires people to defend their innocence rather then the prosecution proving guilt.

If you didn't know, there is a reason why those ads are bright/shiny/big/etc - Times square is the only place in the city that requires business owners to have illuminated signs, in essence encouraging developers/business owners to create these huge billboards and such.

It would be pitch black in times square at night if there were no ads.

Can you provide all the domains you host, so that I can make sure that when they get blocked by the AHBL for abuse, they won't get removed? :)

They don't call it 'anonymous coward' for nothing. If you are so sure about how you feel and your beliefs, why don't you post with your actual slashdot username and an e-mail address? Or is it, you are worried about how the world will view you once your words are put with a name?

It still doesn't answer the question why it needed to be included with the story, given it doesn't have anything to do with 'news for geeks'.

And, its Male to female. Female to male is a completely different process. Hardly something to joke about regardless.

How is what Michelle did any of your business?
