Re:What you really want...

Hey, quit with the fag jokes right now. Hemos is totally queer, and you'll make him cry like a gaddamned water faucet.

Moooo

I am tired of Larry Augustin using slashdot in this way. It is highly unethical. Furthermore he seems to think he has control of 10% of editorial content. He also, true to his 'suit' nature, got a prominent fact very wrong. CmdrTacos name is Commander Taco, not Captain Taco. I am quite upset and plan to cancel my order of 100 VA Linux systems to my department here at the University. I do love VA Linux as does the previous poster and hope things will turn around soon.

[Anonymous Coward]

ps. in case you are a friggin idiot, that last post was a joke. maybe if u didnt have 15 different girlfriends to take care of and 5-changer cd players, dvd players, and brand new cars to pay off, you wouldnt shit your pants over money.

Re:welcome to the new slashdot!

[Anonymous Coward]

Mark this as redundant, he's posted the same story 3 times, it was funny the first time like the Ascii MS Logo but when you see it over and over, it just loses its meaning.

Re:Slashdot's Numero Uno!

[Anonymous Coward]

Sucka I got the first post. MS rules, woohoo.

Re:welcome to the new slashdot!

[Anonymous Coward]

what in the hell does this have to do with a cow case? unless of course your big, hairy, smell funny, and eat (smoke maybe?) a lot of grass....

Re:Oooooooooh.

[Anonymous Coward]

Not the fashion model ones. They would rather go without.

Vegetarian Cases

[Anonymous Coward]

I don't eat cow or any other meat and avoid all products that are made from animals. Does anybody know where I can make a Vege Case or even a Tofurkey Case?

Re:Vegetarian Cases

[Anonymous Coward]

Have you ever heard of Fakin Bacon, that stuff is like cardboard, now that would be interesting have a Fakin Bacon Case.

Re:Vegetarian Cases

[technos]

What happens when those Dual Celerons get hot? Fakin Bacon grease runs into the case! I bet it's conductive too! But you can at least feast after the computer goes up in smoke, er, down in grease?

Hey, I've seen your girlfriend, I'd say you already have one...

They'd have to run HURD...

welcome to earth!

[Anonymous Coward]

Please forgive this minor flame...

... but don't you feel kind of silly for thinking the VA Linux thing was legit? It's people like you who encourage posts like that... not to mention the fact that your response (and others like it) make slashdot readers out to be paranoid wackos...

I worship you Shoeboy..

[Anonymous Coward]

Your wit and humor have convinced me to renounce the posting of intelegent messages to /. My dog Jesus says I should interpret your appearance as a message to become a /. torll. Thank you Shoeboy, I am saved.

Re:I worship you Shoeboy..

[Shoeboy]

My work here is done. I've added yet another torll to the flock. What the fuck is a torll anyway?
--Shoeboy

All it needs now is a...

[Anonymous Coward]

...milk port. Perhaps controled by a tail switch.

Everyone I know will turn green with envy when I add milk to my coffee using my cow-decorated-case/milk-dispenser.

Re:Hate to be a spoilsport, but...

[Anonymous Coward]

If you had read the article you would know that the case still has its meatl shield on and the fur is on the outside of that.

Re:cases

[Anonymous Coward]

Crap! You beat me to it.

Re:/. and my X

[Anonymous Coward]

dude, you are one stupid loser.

What the hell?

Another Slashdotter had this link in their sig on some other discussion a few weeks ago:

You really can't tell me this is serious

CHUK is back

[Anonymous Coward]

After a little downtime due to the amount of traffic the site is back! As well as articles like this one CHUK is the home for all of your hardware news. Thanks to all at Slashdot for the posting and the patience.

I am the Almighty Cow God. It is my holy decree that I shall mate with this newfound creation. The cyborg cow offspring of our unholy union will become my disciples, learning the way of the Bovine as I groom them for their future roles as masters of this planet. Nothing will stop my plan now. You humans shall bow before me and my cyborg, half-cow, half-computer army. My victory shall be total. My ambitions shall be realized. Never again will I be forced to suffer through another "got milk?" advertisement. MOOOOOOOOOO!

Speaking as a vegetarian, I must say I've no idea why it's shagadelic; but then that's because I have no actual clue as to what the word means.
As for the 'murdering cattle'; grow up. I don't want this to sound like a flame, but showing cows respect because we feel like a leather computer case is a bit above and beyond the call of sanity.
Why is it, for example, that cows and doggies are considered unassailable, but grass -- something that's equally alive -- is not? Why don't we try to stop evil, insensitive cows munching on grass?

Not to put a damper on your complaint, but I hope you're not a (GASP!) vegetarian! Remember, they're alive too. As the Arrogant Worms (a fine band) once put it:

I've heard the screams of the Vegetables (scream scream scream)
Watching their skins being peeled (Having their insides revealed)
Grated and steamed without mercy (Burning off calories)
How do you think that feels? (Bet it hurts really bad)
Carrot Juice Constitutes Murder (And that's a real crime)
Greenhouses, prisons for slaves (Let my vegetables grow)
It's time to stop all this gardening (it's as dirty as hell)
Let's call a spade a spade (is a spade is a spade...)

Save the veggies -- eat a cow!

Hate to be a spoilsport, but...

[K8Fan]

Cases are usually made out of metal for a very good reason - RF interference. I have most of my computers in the same room as all my audio and video equipment. I went through and used metal foil tape on all the large holes in each of my computer cases (like unused drive bay openings), added chokes to each of the video cables, and used a sheilded AC cord on each machine.

The result? Less noise on my cable TV, a lower noise floor on my audio and a feeling of pride that I'm not contributing to the sea of RF hash generated by all those people pushing their computers past the limits of sanity.

P.S. Plastic cases from reputable makers have metal shields inside. Macs have RF generating bits individually shielded.

Re:Hate to be a spoilsport, but...

[K8Fan]

Yeah, maybe true, but he was referring to the see through perspex case mentioned earlier

Exactly, thanks. Transparent cases might be a lot of fun, but if someone ran a pair of over-clocked processors and an overclocked graphics card in one, they'd put out as much RF garbage as the average blender!

No, it Is Not Shagadelic

[Chasuk]

This might be moderated as flamebait or a troll, but that is not my intention:

Why is covering a computer case with the skin of a slaughtered innocent animal "shagadelic?" I know that we have become desensitized to the murder of cattle because we eat them and they taste good, but what if these cases had been covered in horse skin? Or the skin of a collie? I know, dogs are "different," but we slaughter millions of dogs - dogs that are put down due to the indifference and neglect of their owners - at dog shelters every year. Certainly the skins shouldn't be allowed to go to waste?

Anytime that we find ourselves decorating our computer cases (or ourselves) with a material ripped off the flesh of other animals - and we ARE animals, too - I think we ought to show a bit more respect than referring to it as "shagadelic."

Just my two cents worth.

Vincent: How about dogs? Dogs eat their own faeces.

Jules: I don't eat dog either.

Vincent: Yes, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?

Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy, but they're definitely dirty. But a dog's got personality. And personality goes a long way.

Vincent: So by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he's cease to be a filthy animal?

Hee hee, stop the whales from eating plankton! These giant animals with insatiable appetites are mercilessly exploiting these utterly defenceless micro-organisms! Billions a day are consumed by these voracious leviathans who apparently have no regard for the tiny souls that are sacrificed in the name of nutrition!

Gads, I appreciate respect for life in all its forms, but sometimes...

Senseless and unnecessary exploitation of living things is sickening (cutting the fins off sharks for soup and tossing the rest of the shark into the ocean comes to mind). Skinning a cow to make a PC case (which didn't happen in this case) would be equally vile, IMO. Mowing the lawn? Eating a tuna sandwich? Dunno...

I like Drew Carey's stand up bit...

Dolphin safe tuna? Sure, worry about the dolphins, what about the tuna? ...see a tuna flopping around on the deck of one of these boats... 'What about me, you Son of a Bitch!!?? Not CUTE enough for ya?'

Re:No, it Is Not Shagadelic

[Windigo The Feral (N]

Technos dun said:

I'd have no problem with a horse-hide case. I've got a horse-hide chair stuffed with horse-hair already! Hell, I'd probably eat horse as well! I'm sorry, but a horse is a domestic pack animal, not unlike a mule, and not far off-field from a cow. Cats, dogs, rats, etc fall into a seperate category; They were domesticated for pleasure, not food or utility.

Some minor corrections there:

First off, rats were originally domesticated for use in labs, not as pets. (That came later.)

Second, dogs were domesticated (or, some theorise, humans and dogs domesticated each other) in a sort of symbiotic relationship relating to hunting--in other words, we helped each other hunt. Furthermore, up until fairly recently (we're talking in the past 300 years or so), most dogs (and most cats, for that matter) were utility animals, NOT household pets. (Hell, on farms TODAY the barn-cats are seen more as utility-cats than pets, and the same goes for the border-collies that may be working dogs on the farm.)

Also, what dogs were bred for besides as working dogs varies a great deal with the culture. The Aztecs, for instance, DID eat dog (it was considered a delicacy) and actually bred a type of dog that was hairless for easier preparation as food. (This being the Mexican Hairless, of course.) There is also some evidence that Chihuahua dogs were originally bred as food animals (no, I am not making this up, and I think we can stop the bad Taco Bell jokes now :).

As it is, I'd feel better about the cow cases, because (in all odds) they are using skins from cows that were headed to slaughter ANYWAYS--the moo is going to be a side of beef or at least stew meat anyways. At least they're using all of the cow; it's not like they're killing thousands of Holsteins just to rip off their skins and leaving the carcasses to rot (a la the bison of the old West) or anything.

I'd be a little more leery of horse, and more leery still of dog and cat, because (typically) most people in Western cultures don't eat those animals, and (at least with slaughterhouses for horses) most of the time foreign buyers have to be found for the horsemeat so that they can use the entire animal. (Dogmeat seems to be limited to some Asian cultures; I don't know of anyone who eats cats. Cat would probably taste horrid anyways, seeing as kitties are obligate carnivores.) Also, horses sent for slaughter tend to be either old horses or are mustangs that are illegally being sent to slaughter (the federal "adopt-a-mustang" program does stipulate that animals are not to be sent to slaughter; hundreds go to slaughter anyways).

Then again, I'm weird in that I think if you are going to take an animal's life (for food or skins), you should do right by the animal to use as much of it as you can. This puts me in the rather odd position of being ok with hunting deer for food or eating cows, but not being ok with trophy hunts or killing animals just for skins. *shrug*

-Computer cases that look like furniture (bookcase, plant potter)

-null case: just a pile of circuits and cables
-beer keg computers

I'd love to have a totally different look for my computer. I was wondering when the transparent cases would appear (sort of like those transparent telephones).

-Designer cases: I need me an eel-skin case!

-Graduation gift computers that look more like a trophy: They'd just languish in the back of the closet with the box of graduation day pen and pencil sets.

-Computer cases that look like furniture: We had these back in the seventies. The PC was the desk, and vice-versa.

-TARDIS cases from Dr Who: Accompanied by the 'Tardis' E theme, no doubt!

-stealth cases: Hide it in the wall, hang a picture over it.

-null case: Drywall screws and a nearby wall. A Beowulf cluster as modern art!

-beer keg computers: The fun part is emptying the case!

-fish aquarium cases: Sealed in resin, you too can forgo the traditional tank heater with this fan-free Xeon. Wait. You'd kill the fish. Too hot.

-Macintosh: Cram an E-Machines Celeron into one of those fishbowls, I dare you!

Martian cow computer cases coming...

"Saw this one off 3DNews, some guy has written step by step instructions on how to turn your computer case into one that looks like a Furry Cow."

Ahh, but there's all sorts of places you can take this idea... for example, if you were to cover the case with plastic wrap and a bit of dirt... or whatever it is chia grass grows in.

Chia grass... for a martian cow.

Moss... for a mangy martian cow.

or maybe use those annoying fuzzy pink toilet seat covers, for a... um... weird mutant people-eating cow.

or epoxy and clippings from your local barbershop- I'm sorry, "hair styling parlor"... for a computer case that resembles Cousin It.

[sPaKr]

Here is a good idea.. buy a new iBook.. and slap PPClinux on it of course.. Then paint it pink on the inside.. then maybe a nice *earthy* flesh tone on the outside.. then attach hair to both the top and bottem half's but most jut around the outside edge. Hey.. they they gave us a Clam shape.. how far away was the bearded clam book?

Also... why is there a VA post on the is story column?. It makes no sense. I thought the merger wasnt going to affect much.. guess we are seeing th begining of the end. I fear if this is the beginnig.. what will the end be?

Harrah.

There's the car driving banner ad - cmdrtaco pretending to be VA - all the comments are offtopic and the the site is suffering from a DDOS.

Eheh.

BTW: What slashdot story had the most comments ever? (I know gnome/kde used to gets lots long ago - but that was only relative to the ability of the system to cope with them. What did that story get to? 700ish? Have any stories topped 1000 yet?

Personalization is good

[rjamestaylor]

Although I am extremely happy with what's inside my computers this personalization movement is good. This, and even more the iMac phenomenon, prove that non-techies (A.K.A., normal people) accept the PC as integral in their life.

Perhaps the selling mark of the 00's will not relate to what's 'Inside' but what's merely on the Outside.

This also proves that PC's are commodities to most and are differientiated by oddities.

Sorry.

On another (but Off Topic) note, Shouldn't Slashdot warn hosts that they're about to be /.'ed? How soon did the poor guy's site go down? If everyone hit my personal Earthlink site (which has a limit of 250 MB per month output) come morning, I'd have "a lot of 'splaining to do, Lucy..."

(rant on)(offtopic reply to an offtopic subject)

Ok. I can understand someone either not realizing that the posts were not from VA Linux, or even pretending to not realize that fact for whatever purposes.

All that aside, can anyone, under any means, justify why that reply was moderated up?

It's not on-topic (having nothing to do with a cow case 90% of the readers of this article haven't been able to see). It's not insightful in any way I care to think about (perhaps that anyone can get duped is an insight?).

Now could someone please find a working link, post it, and transfer all the points wasted moderating up that message to the new working link reply?

Thank you.

Does the name "Ilse Koch" ring a bell?

[mangu]

Let's see what William L. Shirer says about her in "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich", chapter 27 - "The New Order":

"Not only skeletons but human skins were collected by the masters of the New Order though in the latter case the pretense could not be made that the cause of scientific research was being served. The skins of concentration camp prisoners, especially executed for this ghoulish purpose, had merely decorative value. They made, it was found, excellent lamp shades, several of which were expressly fitted up for Frau Ilse Koch, the wife of the commandant of Buchenwald and nicknamed by the inmates the "Bitch of Buchenwald". Tattoed skins appear to have been the most sought after. A German inmate, Andreas Pfaffenberger, deposed at Nurenberg on this.

...All prisoners with tattoing on them were ordered to report to the dispensary... After the prisoners had been examined the ones with the best and most artistic specimens were killed by injections. The corpses were then turned over to the patological department where the desired pieces of tattoed skin were detached from the bodies and treated further. The finished products were turned over to Koch's wife, who had them fashioned into lamp shades, and other ornamental household articles.

One piece of skin which apparently struck Frau Koch's fancy had the words "Haensel and Gretel" tattoed on it.

At another camp, Dachau, the demand for such skins often outran the supply. A Czech physician prisoner, Dr. Frank Bláha, testified at Nurenberg as to that.

Sometimes we would not have enough bodies with good skin and Dr. Rascher would say, "All right, you will get the bodies." The next day we would receive twenty or thirty bodies of young people. They would have been shot in the neck or struck in the head, so that the skin would be uninjured... The skin had to be from healthy prisoners and free from defects."

I'm sorry if I intrude in your veggie rant, but I feel that there are some things that should never be forgotten, lest we allow them to be repeated...

Re:Does the name "Ilse Koch" ring a bell?

[Kid Zero]

Geez... Do the words "Fake Fur" ring a bell? And what does this have to do with Nazi's? Someone thought I'd be cute to cover his case with fake cow fur/skin. Big Deal.

Granted, your section is saddening, deeply troubling and makes me depressed. I'll to eat a few pounds of prime rib in my leather coat and make hamburgers for the homeless tomorrow. Oh the shame.

how to make a REAL cow case

[the31337lc]

1. Locate a cow.
2. Locat a knife.
3. Insert knife into cow, remove skin.
4. Glue skin to computer case.
5. Bring cow head into parents' house durring the night and yell "lucabratzi sleeps with the fishes!" while waving it over their bed.

Oooooooooh.

[kwsNI]

Do cows have fur?

kwsNI

Re:Oooooooooh.

[technos]

Yes. Ever ridden a horse? Cow fur is similar, albeit a bit more coarse. That and cows rarely smell as nice!

Re:welcome to the new slashdot!

[Dungeon Dweller]

I hope that this is a joke.

Listen, I love VA Linux, I would love to get a job there... It's great that they acquired our beloved /. But save the ads for the banners. Comments are for comments. If you all were selling cow fur covered boxen, sure, make the comment, but this is completely unrelated. While I would like to reiterate, that I really do love your company, my first reaction when I saw this post was that it must be a joke, and quite frankly, I don't find it to be an appropriate use of /.

I don't mean to sound like a dick, I know that I do, and I know that you own /. and could turn the servers into toilet seats if you really felt like it, but I am sure that many users feel this way.

Re:That's nothing....

A question...

Hello, I remember a post a while ago that had a link to a web site that sells dual and triple computer cases.

I was wondering if anybody knows the link to this website.

Thanks, Nick

cases

[samelot]

dude, clear cases are awesome, but nothing beats the cow. i mean, how can anybody possibly pass up the chance to have A COW in your OWN BEDROOM?!?!

okay, okay, cows in bedrooms aren't always the best (for one thing, they are hard to get rid of).

but with every company trying to come up with some original spin on the "grey box," i think that cow cases are welcome. they bring good competition for the ugly but revolutionary new macintosh boxes or the dell "toaster" box.

If you sit around posting ways to make your poor computer case look like a cow,(or posting it as news) you are in serious need of a life. I don't support the use of 'shagadelic' as a word either.

Ok, that looks cool, but it raises a question:

How long before it looks like crap from dust build-up and how often are you forced to open it and blow it out with compressed air, and even then, will it ever look as cool as it does before you ever turn it on and start trapping dust?

There is something wrong about furry boxes

[gypsychix]

First there was the white case...and it was good
Then there came black cases...still it was good
Fruity colors...not bad
I can even understand stickers, spraypaint, stencils, and what have you...but WHAT kind of free time do you need to turn a case into a cow, then publish it???

Re: Eat anything that lives

[Balgillow]

Hehe...do as the cantonese do: eat anything that moves, regardless of species, size or cuteness, after all they'd eat us, given half the chance. How many mosquitos do you know that go 'no!no! those poor humans!' well...actually if you know *any* mosquitos, yer wierd, but never mind... I spent a year in China, and we went to this one restaurant, where they served donkey. Thinking ok, when in Rome, do as the Mongols do, we ordered it. So the waiter arrives, tells us the donkeys name and starts praising this donkey, saying it had a distinguished military career and had always served well, was hung like a horse, left behind a wife and 17 kids etc, etc...yadda yadda. When he was done (this was 10 minutes later) he served it and left.... Possibly the most surreal thing I've experienced. Tasted ok...sorta chewy, but you certainly had respect for the bugger. (of course most likely it was some random donkey and the waiter had 10 minutes of fun taking the rip on some stupid foreigners)

The plastic is coated

[Tony Hammitt]

Just like in the clear case we're talking about, the plastic is coated with a conductive paint which shields the RF interference. Having the case off OTOH lets the RF noise leak out. Good thing the wattage is pretty low for the high frequency stuff. The FCC could take a dim view of a little FM station in every household...

[Shoeboy]

Here's step by step instructions on how to turn yourself into something that looks like a furry cow.
1. Get a job as a programmer or sysadmin.
2. Work at it for at least a year.
3. Visit /. regularly

As long as you start with sufficient body hair, I guarantee you'll be a 400lb furry beast that grazes constantly. If you visit /. enough you'll also develop a herd mentality.
