Slashdot Mirror
Quiet Desk (Not Desktop) PC
Anonymous Coward writes "Rusty took a wholly different approach to PC noise: he built his XP1900+ machine right into the desk! While it may not make the PC industry scramble to define a new *desk* (not desktop) form factor, Rusty's inventive techniques will surely have computer hardware enthusiasts poring over his fine work."
third post?
wtf 5 posts and its fucking /.'ed!?
Micro$oft sucks! Down with M$!

the lego desk idea was essentially done in the movie anti-trust. Decent movie in my opinion, kinda based on ol' bill, watch it if you havnt.
I know this has been mentioned before, but is there a way for /. to check to see if the site can handle the hits before a post, if it can't, could /. host a mirror? The number of /.'ed in the last month has been crazy.
Read the story before you flame, asswipe.
You /. posters are slippin. Common get your act together.
P.S. A beowulf cluster of these would take up a warehouse.
Imagine a Beowolf cluster of these...
where is the "I feel for ya, but that's some funny ass shit" moderation?
the space mungifier is called breakHtml, I needed to add a space mungifier to one of my scripts last night so i searched slashcode and stole the code =P
.= $c, ++$i) { .= $c } /\s/) { $cwl = 0 } .= ' '; $cwl = 1 }
incase anyone is interested...
my %is_break_tag = map { uc, 1 } qw(HR BR LI P OL UL BLOCKQUOTE DIV);
sub breakHtml {
my($text, $mwl) = @_;
my($new, $l, $c, $in_tag, $this_tag, $cwl);
$mwl = $mwl || 50;
$l = length $text;
for (my $i = 0; $i < $l; $new
$c = substr($text, $i, 1);
if ($c eq '<') { $in_tag = 1 }
elsif ($c eq '>') {
$in_tag = 0;
$this_tag =~ s{^/?(\S+).*}{\U$1};
$cwl = 0 if $is_break_tag{$this_tag};
$this_tag = '';
}
elsif ($in_tag) { $this_tag
elsif ($c =~
elsif (++$cwl > $mwl) { $new
}
return $new;
}
thanks slashdot!
Now if he could only figure out humor.

It is human nature to take shortcuts in thinking.
Props to the A.C. for being the first person I've seen use the word poring correctly on Slashdot.
Actually, it's showing 12:58 PM because I did set my preferences. Had I not set my preferences, it would have shown something like 2AM.
I'm using Australian Eastern Standard time. That's because I live in Australia. Notice how it's the middle of the day here, while it's the middle of the night in the USA. The comment I originally replied to was asking why people are reading Slashdot at the middle of the night. I was explaining that it's not the middle of the night for everyone.
However, thank you. Your comment has brightened up my afternoon, as it's helped me kill off another few minutes as I wait for work to finish for the day.
(Oh, and if anyone's interested, it's around 5PM as I post this...)
I think it's more of a whump...
Yes, it was a joke. I just wanted an excuse to make a hot wood reference... :)
I'm a signature virus. Please copy me to your signature so I can replicate.
mineral oil should see you sorted.
I love way the text has been translated - classic Japlish with a charmin folksy style.
Consciousness is an illusion caused by an excess of self consciousness.
