  Dont be so hard on the parent poster. he raises a very valid point. (before i start, this is not flamebait! im mearly saying my opinion) Who really cares? everyday i keep seeing the same bullshit. Guy controls train with PDA. whoohoo. instead of posting constructive topics, we get this weird shit. Okay then, to prove the parent poster above isnt a troll. 1)How many /. users own a fully working train set that they currently USE. 2)How many /. users also own a PDA. out of the total above, how many people are now going to make there PDA control there train. very few. dont take me wrong, im all for people being creative. but hey, there are people dying/being killed/ass raped by george W./being stressed out by the slashdot effect. How about we work on CONSTRUCTIVE projects that would make this world a better place.

Why?... by pummer · 2003-05-01 15:58 · Score: 0, Troll

...I almost know the answer: "Because this is Slashdot."

But consider the following: 1. Very few slashdotters own a working train 2. Very few slashdotters that own a working train want to control it with their palms 3. very very few slashdotters own a working train AND want to control it with their palms. 4. If this is a slashdot story, then why are non-tech-related things cut?

Where's my AC at?
