  1. Bill Henson and the sneaky "art" defense on Australian Judge Rules Simpsons Cartoon Rip-off Is Child Porn · · Score: 1

    Since taking photos of naked children is apparently not a criminal act in Australia as long as its "art": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Henson#Images_seized ...its hard to imagine drawing non-real children being a criminal act. Perhaps the "perpetrators" forgot to use the sneaky "art" defense.

    Do they want to move to Australia too?

    > teaching teens to be responsible drivers

    Have your kids fooled you into thinking you've taught them to drive responsibly? That was smart of them.

    Seriously, you can't teach responsibility. Some people are born with it (my wife). Some people grow into it (me). Some people learn it the hard way (my brother). Some people roll their car into a ditch trying to run over snakes at age 55 and still don't drive sensibly (my Father-in-Law).

    I do think that decent simulators could be used to help the second and third type learn to be responsible and teach the fourth kind better skills.

    it's a good OS, worthy of being used.

    it'll just be a niche product.

    Yeah, just like OS/2.

    it'll still be around

    Yeah, just like OS/2.

  8. Meet Dave on Lap Desks · · Score: 1

    I have a "Dave" from Ikea: http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/20078234 It's cheap, adjustable and has a cool angle thing that works well if your laptop's rubber feet are intact. There's room for an external mouse next to my X30 Thinkpad.

  9. Intel's Per-Chip Cost Averages $40 on Intel's Per-Chip Cost Averages $40 · · Score: 1

    Intel's average cost per chip is about $40. These same chips, such as the Pentium 4s, can cost consumers up to $637

    ... and also such as microcontrollers, flash memory, AGP chipsets, Automotive controllers etc most of which sell for a great deal less than a Pentium 4.

    This article compares an average (cost per chip) and a peak (price per P4) and doesn't even include all of the costs.
