PumpkinPC v1.0 Makes Its Hallowe'en Debut
vivIsel writes "I just recently created the PumpkinPC v1.0 for the Hack-O-Lantern contest at Bjorn3D. I thought the Slashdot community would get a kick out of this--it being Halloween, and all. I just hope it doesn't rot too soon." Hopefully, the pumpkin has survived the trick-or-treaters.
It's running Windows, that's kinda scary!
Make a PDA from a gourd.
OC this mother, stuff the seeds back in, and you'll have a tasty treat in the morning!!
What's even more scary is it never got past the 'Loading' screen...
It'd be a Hack-O-Lantern =)
Imagine a pumpkin patch^H^H^H^H^H^H^H beowulf cluster of these =)
Why bother baking those seeds when you could just use an Intel chipset?

There is something fundamentally wrong with this.
This one has web cams as eyes, it can see you!.
You know you've spent too much time reading slashdot when your first reaction isnt "They put a PC in A pumpkin?!?!"
But is: "Hmm I could think of three ways to build a bigger, faster, Dual Jackelandern POWER PUMPKIN!!!"
I think I need to go lay down now...

Coming soon... Rotting deer carcass PC. The first dual booting roadkill. It needs a little debugging first. I'm using the antlers for the Wi-Fi antenna.
Slashdot...because it's nice to know you're not the weirdest person in the world after all...

Now a Pumpkin in a PC.... that would be something... actually generalise it. The first ever PC Oven, don't both with fans or heat sinks turn a rack of PCs into....
The first computer powered Aga Oh yes, think of it now. No longer will you not have time to cook and eat, because your cooker is right in front of you.
To get the required heat will need some additional engineering but a 64 way beowulf cluster should be enough. Soon cooking books will have references to "Gas Mark 5, or 10 processors at 100%".

if I was actually funny, I'd be comedian, so instead this will just be another worthless /. post
that Slashdot editors didn't "squash" this story.
This is one of the first PC mods out there that will change color and shape over time. From Orange to a styleish black. And it round sphere shape into the more easably stackable pancake shape. The smell it gives off will last a lot longer then any scented oil.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
What about:
You know you've spent too much time reading slashdot when your first reaction isn't "They put a PC in a pumpkin?!?!"
But is: "Hmmm, I'm pretty sure they did this last year too!"
Not only will it heat your room, it'll also now cook your food!

...instead of Win98, would it then be the Great Pumpkin?
Er, wrong Linus. Nevermind...

Any sufficiently advanced influence is indistinguishable from control.
Did anyone else see this story about a pumpkin computer and immediately think of the Banana Junior 2000?
Good judgment comes from experience.
Experience comes from bad judgment.
Why not give us a link to the actual pumpkin so we can slashdot it, then take pictures when it explodes.
I got all excited, went home and tried it. You know what, nothing sprayed out of my ears. Liar!
