Wife of Harried Pirate Bay Witness Gets Buried in Internet Love

treqie writes "During the trial of pirate bay yesterday, a professor (Roger Wallis) took the witness stand. He told the court things that the prosecutors did not want to hear. The prosecutors then tried to discredit both him and his team's work in the area, as well as his title, it was a real spectacle. In the end, the judge asked if he wanted compensation for being there — he replied that he did not want anything, but they could send flowers to his wife. Many listening online heard, and began sending her flowers, from all over the world. As of this submission, the sum is over 40,000 SEK worth of flowers. There's even a Facebook group for it."

No, punders refers to the act of punning or making a pun. In this case the pun was "punders" instead of "ponders".

Re:Nothing of value is taken

taking a picture of a car does not give you the same utility as owning the car, so its value is clearly nothing like the value of the car.
If what i do gives me the same abilities and utility as owning the car, the value is the value of the car.
