Daily WTF

OMG!!! Seriously. This is so mind blowing, there isn't a better thread for it.

I actually got a well thought out, helpful, step by step, with explanations answer to something. It's generally so easy to find stuff on there to make you hate it, but this was not only answering what I asked, but even went the extra mile and suggested a circuit to let me use a lower freq PWM.

It's very likely to be the most helpful thing I've even seen from the MS community, possibly including the hardware. Perhaps there will be more....

Hey, look, a sister project. Perhaps we could combine the two products. It's something I'd like to try while driving.

Well here's my first contribution to this thread.

Yup, patent office will let you patent just about anything. Dean Kamen Awarded Patent For Robot Competition Rules, more at the below link.

If all you have is a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail. Maybe Dean's been patenting too much stuff and needs a breather?

Dear sir,

I am writing to you regarding a new matter that has been brought to my attention by my clients. In this particular matter our office represents Dean Kamen.

The use of the cliche "If all you have is a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail" in an electronic forum has been patented by our client in patent #8,219,493: "Use Of Hammer-Based Metaphors in Electronic Discussion". Your use of this phrase is in violation of United States patent law, and I request that you remove this content immediately.

I have a good faith belief, and in fact know for certain, that the posting of these works was not authorized by my clients, any agent of my clients, or the law.

Sincerely,
Herman J. Bloodsucker, Esq.

Introduction to German language 101 class with a 19 year old German present. Questions from one particular guy in the class :

Q How do you guys go shopping with those small cars in Germany?
A Price of fuel + smaller roads.

Q So do you guys still have a big problem with neo nazism in Germany?
A Not as much as you think, most of that stuff is underground because our country is not proud of who we were.

Epic fail by a young Californian kid!
