dude, this place is slow enough lately. tasering for the mere thought of an unfamily-friendly post will surely stick a final fork in CEHST.

True there have been many casualties (recently too it seems) however a well-documented experience should increase traffic nicely. Please make the pics count!

wait - he dis-assembled a working LED clock,

and attempted to remount it in a case (which, of course, he failed at).

this is really stupid.

the companies doing stuff and giving him stuff is doubly stupid.

I worked for Microsoft for 9 years, failed at a lot of things and was paid very well..so its all relative

Was I drunk posting again????

I love, that these companies recognize potential when they see it, and that this kid is getting the positive exposure he deserves.

Failure is oftentimes a large part of R&D. Without failure, it would only be 'D'... :-)

Can't recall who said it, or if this is exact, but:

"In the life cycle of any project, there comes a time to shoot the engineers and go into production."

Ahmed’s Sister Admits School Suspension for Alleged Bomb Threat 3 Years Earlier

The sister of the boy who brought a suspected hoax-bomb to his Texas high school said she was suspended from a school in a prior bomb scare. Her suspension occurred in 2009 while she was attending middle school in the same district.

Lesley Weaver, a spokeswoman for the district, said school officials can’t release any information about the 18-year-old sister’s episode because the Sudanese parents won’t sign the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, The school has already sent the form to the immigrant Sudanese parents, but they won’t sign it, she said.

The sister is named Eyman Mohamed.

“I wish we could…. provide more information to the media,” said Weaver, whose school district and local police force are now facing worldwide claims that they unfairly targeted the sister’s brother — 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed — after he was detained Sept. 14 on the suspicion that he had brought a hoax bomb into the school.

The boy brought his device — a dismantled, 120-volt clock packed inside a school box — to show off to his teachers.

The sister claimed after the arrest that she had been suspended from a school for several days. “I got suspended from school for three days from this stupid same district, from this girl saying I wanted to blow up the school, something I had nothing to do with,” she said, without providing evidence or proof.

The episode occurred around 2009, she said. The scare happened in “my first year of attempting middle school in America. I knew English, but the culture was different, the people were different,” Eyman said.

“I got suspended and I didn’t do anything about it,” she said.

“When I heard about Ahmed, I was so mad because it happened to me and I didn’t get to stand up, so I’m making sure he’s standing up because it’s not right. So I’m not jealous, I’m kinda like—it’s like he’s standing for me.”

Two days after the Sept. 14 incident, President Barack Obama intervened by praising the boy, praising his clock-in-a-box, and inviting him to the White House for an October event. “Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It’s what makes America great,” Obama tweeted, effectively suggesting that Irving officials were unfair to the Muslim boy.

imagine that, a school full of kids/teachers/administrators that are terrified of islam, disciplining not one but two scary kids for absolutely nothing.

but you guys read this as evidence of what exactly? these two kids have been plotting and scheming this whole time?
