Folded Newtonian Telescope

And the whole thing is completely portable and achieves accuracy down to one or two millionths of an inch across an 18 inch surface!"
OSAKA -- CmdrTaco, a man who spat on a high school student, was arrested after being caught-red-handed at a station in Settsu, Osaka Prefecture, police said Tuesday.
CmdrTaco, 31, was arrested for spitting on the back of the 17-year-old student at JR Senrioka Station in Settsu at about 7:25 a.m. on Tuesday.
Investigators said the student was using JR to get to Kyoto Station while she was on her way to school. She had noticed what appeared to be spit on her uniform about 10 times in the past, and had discussed the problem with the Kyoto Prefectural Police railway police unit.
A member of the unit accompanied the student as she was on her way to school on Tuesday, and caught CmdrTaco spitting at her.
Police said they suspected CmdrTaco was involved in other similar crimes and they were continuing to question him. (Japan, Dec. 2, 2003)

If I could understand that, I'd probably disagree.
You neglected to factor in the tesseract lens, BTW.

Ok I'm well known as a geek but that article flew right over my head. I guess now I know how people feel now when I start talking about tweaking bios settings.
We don't need no stinking sig!
He just got a link from slashdot and his email address is plainly harvestable at the bottom of the page. How long before his yahoo account is saturated with spam?
Does this qualify as an invention? Is it patentable?
If so, I hope a big corporation doesn't manage to scoop it behind his back. Any time you radically reduce the cost of something there's a big risk of that.
We look through the telescope and we wonder...
why Darl McBride is staring back.
Isn't it great the way modern patent and copyright law frees us all to concentrate on creativity and innovation, rather than legal minutia and protecting our work from overbroad and stealth patents?
Opinions on the Twiddler2 hand-held keyboard?
This line opens with some mis-informed bullshit about a company that produces a proprietry operating system. This line refers to a bug uncovered when a dickhead used the OS. This line neglects to mention that the all open source alternatives either a) dont support the feature(s) or b) didnt support it until either SGI or IBM handed over the code. This lines makes a really annoying and tired connection with the Santa Cruz Org or Microsoft that is only understood by Stallman fanboys. This line is funny because the text is bold and italic. Now laugh you stupid little cunt.
He makes numerous threatening references to the UN. And at the end he repeats the words "Screw Flanders" over and over again.
