Harddrive Speakers
paranoidia writes "Ever get annoyed by the loud noise your harddrive makes? I bet you never thought of actually using that to your advantage. A friend here at CMU actually took 3 broken hard drives and got them to spin at certain frequencies outputed by his computer. So in the end, three harddrives are actually now speakers! There are videos and a few pictures with explanations onto how he did this wonderous thing."
Well maybe you should try replacing your sound system with some new harddrives.
*laugh*
No seriously, the sounds recognizable and its a pretty impressive technical feat. Honestly though, I'd like to see a vibrator speaker system as well. Maybe it would turn on some women to new types of music.. omg.. stop me now.
Sigs are awesome huh?
I hope he knows that if he touched those PLATTERS he's going to DIE!
Those platters are HIGHLY TOXIC, otherwise they wouldn't lock them away in those air-tight drives!
You know, I love telling that to computer newbies. Someone told me that a while back, and it was so funny I had to further propogate the rediculous myth. I'm amazed how many people fall for it.

Computer stuff is for work. What Ive got in my pants is for fun.
Now, the most important rule is: never mix fun and work. If youre working, dont let the pretty women screw with your head. Women don't deserve any better advice on technical matters than the worst male PHB or slob of a co-worker. On the other hand, if youre having fun out with the ladies, don't talk shop. You're a "technical consultant", not an engineer or a scientist.

Police: Sorry sir, we can ask him to close Windows. Other than that we can't do anything.
Very fsck'ed up.
Wow, I can only imagine how arousing THAT must have been...

I'm getting all tingly just thinking about it.

I'm another one, living in Doherty. Yes, I'm the jerk who kept getting various subnets and several ip's banned for trolling.
