p2pnet news | off topic:- How many times have you felt like slinging your computer out the window?

That’s what a frustrated German owner did.

In the middle of the night.

But, “he was let off for disturbing the peace by police who sympathised with his technical frustrations,” says Reuters.

“Police in the northern city of Hanover said they would not press charges after responding to calls made by residents in an apartment block who were woken by a loud crash in the early hours of Saturday.

“Officers found the street and pavement covered in electronic parts and discovered who the culprit was.”

The story doesn’t say whether or not the computer owner, aged 51, derived any satisfaction from hurling his balky system into the street.

Slashdot it!
