marshman113 submitted quite possibly the most important innovation in case design since the internal hard drive: here is a coffee pot computer. Yes this guy actually integrated two of the greatest innovations of mankind into one convenient case!

Unless it's RFC 2324 compliant, I'm not interested.

Slash that coffee... by plaa · 2002-07-09 00:05 · Score: 4, Funny

I guess this is the first time slashdot has slashdotted a coffee machine...

I wonder if the coffee's heated with the CPU? Bet he'll be getting hot coffee now.

(OK, I don't know whether it was hosting the pages, 'cause I haven't read the article, 'cause the article's been slashdotted.)

I doubt, therefore I may be.

Anyway, here [pimprig.com] is a direct link to the image. You can find a more reliable link (tho the picture is smaller) here [216.239.33.100], just scroll down the page.

You might choose to redefine "more reliable."

  Hopefully not - since windows runs approx 20% of the time, and starbucks is only potentially evil when its shut (lets say potential evil weighs in at 50% evil), that gives us ms based starbucks toting coffee pc evil rating of: 0.2*1 + 0.8*0.5 = a mere 60% evil!
