Just a bit of info for you...

In Chicago there is no 11pm news.

The evening news in Chicago omes on at 9pm and 10pm.

Would it be any more difficult to spot one of the vast numerous contractors that work at the behest of the feds?

When I first saw this story I wondered if they were to apply it in a legal sense, and not for marketing..

they have things called "anti social behavior orders" in england to curb.. well, anti social behavior, one such example was this (source above):

The oldest recipient of an order to date is an 87-year-old who among other things is forbidden from being sarcastic to his neighbours (July 2003). He was subsequently found guilty of breaking the terms of his order on three separate occasions.

really? england ?

what about ASBOs ?

those seem kinda of anti-freedom to me.

11. A 13-year-old was served an order banning him from using the word "grass" anywhere in England and Wales.

12. In May 2004, a 16-year-old boy was banned from behaving in an anti-social manner at school. The five year order covers the whole of England and Wales and came as a response to his disruption of a science class

19. The oldest recipient of an order to date is an 87-year-old who among other things is forbidden from being sarcastic to his neighbours (July 2003). He was subsequently found guilty of breaking the terms of his order on three separate occasions. He awaits sentencing but the judge has already made it clear that "there will be no prison for an 88 year old man".

(plus, do ya got any good tips on the 2013 MLB World Series ?)

I dont see the reason for all of the hate that people seem to spew whenever a Pi article pops up here.

this seems just the right spot for these articles..

especially this one..

not everyone on slashdot is an old hand at this type of thing.. some might even be inexperienced with linux and messing about with electronics.

this project is an excellent way for people to get involved in the types of things that the more snooty among us really enjoy..

baby steps, yo.

this project doesnt require any soldering! and you can accomplish something.. whats wrong with that?

if you, and others, cant see the value in this im not sure what to say..

it seems like the editors are damned if they do, damned if they dont..

something is either determined not newsworthy enough for nerds..

or, like this, it seems like, while very much for nerds, its not quite complex enough to make them care? .....

well i am here to say i do care, and this type of thing is encouraging me, and others to get involved in electronics..

if you cannot deal with simple interesting projects that get people involved in the world of electronics being posted on on slashdot... im not sure what to say...

perhaps reddit is the place for those people!

i guess some of the moderators are seeing a glitch ..they are seeing 'troll' as 'i disagree'

your comment is +1 interesting

yeah, whatever.

ask the GORN CAPTAIN if the powder kirk made was any good!

yeah.

why dont the mechanics just drive the racecars, too ?

it's fiction, they call it "art"

perhaps youre familiar with some violent fictional art:

openbsd allows getting a selection of each archs precompiled binaries as well as the option to build from source the entire port tree.

some ports are available as source only, to be compiled by the enduser

but, you do realize that IBM have basically turned this into another one of those pointless corporate advertisements that you might see on TV? ..like the GE jet engine adverts..or the siemens ones with spaceX mentioned.. you know, things the average consumer buys..

this is one of those.

neat 'science' tho!

Hey!

it's another one of those stories... where its only news because it happened on the internet
