The Incredible Invisible Case
Brett Profitt writes "No, it's not entirely like the clear pc case, and it's much, much cooler than a simple windowed case, but it would still look great with a hard drive window. This, my friends, is The Invisible Case ! " Truly a labor of love. This may be the
nicest case I've ever seen. To bad you can't buy them like this! Check out
the details (Transparent rubber feet, fans, and hard drive window). It absorbs
envy beams from miles around.
I do not think I would like the constant reminder of all the dust bunnies. I think blowing the machine out every couple of months is good.
Either give it away or get top dollar, but never sell yourself cheap.
Damn, it went down while I was browsing it. Three minutes. There should be a poll : how long before a site is Slashdotted after a post? I hope Taco warns those webmasters in advance. I can see them freak out already.
Language is what makes us different from primitive animals, and bureaucrats.
he, being a smart person, removed them from the server.
smartay mahn, he!
The site is /. already so the picturers does not load, but maybe this is the whole point.
Help fight continental drift.
Some people are getting pictures? Some are getting the page? I can't even get a ping response from bit-tech's servers - Now that's a real ./ effect

Slashdot is not charging for subscriptions. Slashdot is offering a way for people to turn off advertising.
There is a CRITICAL difference. Subscription sites only allow paid members to even view the site. If you don't want to pay for slashdot, then you don't need to, it just means you'll see more ads.
Of course, the object of the exercise was to analyze the forces on the egg and devise a means to limit them during descent and deceleration. But being lazy hackers, we of the ACM chapter took an old dumb terminal shell, and filled it with lime Jello, suspending the raw egg in the middle. We wound up using about 6 gallons of Jello and it took nearly two days to set. Due to its weight, three people were required to heave it out the 8th floor window.
And guess what? It worked! Even better, the ME senior who was officiating the event had obvious disdain for our brute force approach and stuck his thumb thru the egg after he pulled it out of the still oscillating pile of Jello at the target. Someone caught this on videotape and took it to the dean's office. The ACM chapter was later awarded a special ribbon or something for being screwed by a screwhead...
I can see the fnords!
I've said it before, but I'll say it again. Subscribers should get the stories a little in advance (15 mins to an hour should do it) so they can get the links before everyone else eats up the bandwidth. THAT would be a perk worth subscribing for.
p.s. - when I saw your topic as 'mirrors' I thought you were gonna talk about building a case out of mirrors. that'd be sweet!
do not read this line twice.
