    every year all over the world in the name of down sizing because of bad management or poor products, jobs lost from OSS is negligible. So what if jobs are lost, if I create an OSS project that takes off and some other business goes under because of that its not my problem.

  5. Simple solution on Smart Meters Wreaking Havoc With Home Electronics · · Score: 1

    Buy a cell/wifi jammer and hook it up to a motion detector. Place it where no one can see it and attach a motion sensor to it that will turn it off when someone comes near the meter. If they gonna fuck with you,you might as well fuck with them. Maybe they'll replace it with a dumb meter.

    Same thing weed growers to. Hook up a motion sensor just above the meter so when the meter reader come it activates a relay which shuts down the lights so the meter spins at a sane speed.

  10. Perfect move by B&N on B&N Pummels Microsoft Patent Claims With Prior Art · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Looks like they did their homework and so did their lawers. Even if they were not to win this is a HUGE way to attract customers to their hardware/online stores especially when they win. You couldn't get a more massive good will gesture then this especially before christmas shopping holiday.

    the DEA stating that each cannabis plant is equal to a lb of weed, Sure its possbile if you grew it outdoors in Calfornia but 99% of the time people get no where near that. With big plants (6 week veg) they might get 4oz dry off each plant.
