Turning Dead Drives into Speakers?
An anonymous reader writes "Why pay 500$ for Klipsch's latest speaker system? You can make something that looks way cooler for the price of a DIY amplifier and some HDDs out of a dumpster. It doesn't sound quite as good but who cares!"
Next week we'll show you how to turn a laundry basket and a speak & spell
into your own segway.
I know I've seen it before, at least once. Not absolutely sure if it was on Slashdot or not, but it's likely. I'm too lazy to do a search, though. Would be the second repost for today ... jeez.
Switch back to Slashdot's D1 system.
I was sure I already saw this : http://slashdot.org/articles/02/02/16/1439211.shtm l?tid=133
This was posted back in Feb (See this link.) It even gives the same link...
In all seriousness, would it be all too hard to include some form of archive-checking feature to the submission queue? (Note: I don't use slash, so I don't know the internals...) Something like "if this link has been posted before, raise a flag to the administrator to make sure they really want to post a duplicate"...
Might weed out at least some of the repeats... Heck, maybe even a "link similarity" feature that could match http://foo.com as possibly identitcal to http://foo.com/index.html.
These repeating stories are almost as bad as those blasted X10 camera ads.
It's a real crying shame I can't block the stories like I block the ads...
