Police Called Over 11-Year-Old's Science Project 687

garg0yle writes "Police in San Diego were called to investigate an 11-year-old's science project, consisting of 'a motion detector made out of an empty Gatorade bottle and some electronics,' after the vice-principal came to the conclusion that it was a bomb. Charges aren't being laid against the youth, but it's being recommended that he and his family 'get counseling.' Apparently, the student violated school policies — I'm assuming these are policies against having any kind of independent thought?"

Comment Re:Dollar is king (Score 1) 275

I have several old Dell laptops. A while back I called tech-support on one and could not carry on a conversation with the tech. He couldn't understand me, and I couldn't understand me. Since then I have purchased HP, Sony and Compaq laptops, but no Dell (I haven't even bothered logging on to their web site to check price). The Dollar is NOT king in my mind, but service IS.
